Wireless Joint

Posting another update. Called T-Mobile again today as my connection has never improved. The woman on the phone said T-Mobile is upgrading their network but if I am showing any bars and LTE then I am getting their high speed network access. Was told If my connection seems slow then it's probably my ...

Here's another update. Nothing has improved since last week. I called T-Mobile back for an update just now. The guy started asking what I was doing that made me think I had a speed issue as opposed to phone hardware issue. Couldn't get him to answer what the update was to being told the last time ...

Ok. I have an update finally. I removed the SIM and tested my connection with the phone I used to authorize the SIM and I get the same speed results. Fluctuating between .5 - 1 Mbps. I called customer service and they told me it's a known issue that has been ongoing for the last three days. However ...

I did and it's barley over 40GB I've been averaging between 200 - 250 GM per month. I have restarted it but haven't pulled out the sim card yet and tried it in a phone as I have to take the thing apart with the WE1026 to get at it. But that will eb my next step.

Has anyone else on T-Mobile Simply Prepaid Unlimited Plus plan suddenly getting throttled? My connection seemed to be running fine up to about mid last week then now my connection speed tests never get past 1 Mbps. Ranges from .5 to 1 continuously. Is there anything else I should be doing to verify ...

Did you post this on the facebook group too? I swear I've already seen this. lol After all that trouble you had at first in April, now this? Dang. Well let me know if I'm not crazy and we are doing the help on facebook. I did sorry about that. Couldn't get at the LTE website so posed there as I ...

I'll have to order a new power adapter if its possible mine is failing.

Under System I don't have a Scheduled Reboot menu option and I don't see it under any of the sub menu options. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/yYeZply93TMpzCNlNsOC18ngmQEhqsKvg7ngtEV4vxkJmJVVfOrrza-CKrRh5xROtCaBFfq1cAyRNw7QvWVWEZ1An2PXdLAPYLebOKY_-PzITiRnYePYIH54uW3UHfyG6DTc6xE9lQ=w2400 There is a ...

I'm running a WE1026-5G LTE Router Dual Band WiFi 2.5GHz | 5GHz router with a Quectel EM20-G CAT20 M.2 Modem. About 4 weeks ago it would occasionally say connected, no internet and I could still open a browser and get the router. Didn't matter if i left it alone for hours or days. It would not ...

Thank you Jim! I know this one has been a pain. Didneywhorl & BillA wanted to also say Thank you to both of you for your input as well! I'll be switching gears to trying to maximize the hardware and throughput at this point so I'll be posting threads soon and hope I can leverage everyone's knowledge ...

Success!

I did find this on the T-Mobile website although I don't know how old the web page is.

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/device ... n-settings

Access Point Name (APN): fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC Server: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Under Cellular Data Options, Enable LTE is: Voice & Data. Data Roaming is not on.

The only thing listed on the Iphone under Settings, Cellular, under the T-Mobile Network Selection is "T-Mobile".

The two places on my phone to check both do not say what the APN setting is. When I google how to look it up on the iphone it directs me to the Apple website and there is a note saying "IF the carrier allows it".

Should I do that at this point too? Also should I try moving the SIM to the adapter card?

The SIM card sides do not have any of the tabs on it, are flat and fit the holder without being loose or tight and does appear to be making good contact. I have the SIM in the Routers SIM card slot currently and not in the PCI-E to M.2 adapter SIM slot. I can try moving it there if that is where it ...

Yes it is except for the phone number and SIM Name.

I commented out the TTL scripts with the # as described. I then ran the AT+QPRTPARA=3 from the AT Command and received an Ok. I waited the 30 seconds and unplugged the router and then plugged it back in after the 10 seconds. I went back to the AT Command and ran AT+QCFG="nwscanmode",3,1 and again ...

Router has been unplugged and the SIM is in a phone and the phone is able to play a Youtube video. The Wifi is off on the phone and the phones data over cellular is on btw.

Ok. Will do.

Yes up to entered APN, updated timezone & syncced browser. I then added the following TTL rules you mentioned at the beginning of this thread under Network, Firewall, Custom Rules. #start 007 TTL ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 65 iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wwan0 ...

Yes I did.

Yes I did.

I am currently connecting to the router through Wifi.

I unplugged the unit after flashing, waited about 2 minutes and plugged the unit back in. That was at about 6:00 PM.

After the firmware upgrade I reset the router and Modem settings. I then rebooted and now cannot connect to the web.

Yes. I did that once. Should I do it a 2nd time?

Update on build. A big Thank you to Jim. The Router and Modem are now talking and the router is now receiving Signal & Cell information. The modem is now stating it's connected but I'm not able to connect to the web.

Appreciate any help on what I should be checking now.

Thanks

Jim can you confirm what you mean when you say using 2 x MIMO (as opposed to all 4 x MIMO)? I do have 2 - 2.4Gh & 2 - 5.38Gh antennas connected.

BillA asked me to try switching between the "M", "M1" & "M2" posts on the modem. Always keeping the other on the "D" post. "M1" & "M2" wouldn't connect to the tower/web at all. However I'm wondering if I didn't leave the router long enough each time (~12 Min). I also reflashed the Router with the ...

Morning Jim. Not sure why but PM's I send typically seem to get stuck in the Outbox. That last PM I actually sent back at the beginning of April when I was still figuring out what I could order.

There is something there about the Modem I think

"This device does not have a switch data file"

Here are some of the info you were asking for earlier: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_q4Fpi2fZah_ECKPfvsCvGN8UomWJb52TIiChr9qG3Ab1WfAtpMoHZztXd3loGCzj8rlAK0peC7JOgpxNAevxLTrjcchk0XlEiYxICzJuRhe3-XofavnmDo0oZ3mmC8-yVT7LfgUfA=w2400 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com ...

Thanks for the help tonight. Really appreciate it.

Sorry I don't know how to embed these.

About 20 minutes ago it was at about 17Mbps for the 1st time since I turned it on.

See Attached to see what I mean.

AT CSQ.docx

AT+QENG="servingcell" doesn't return anything. I havn't had any of the AT commands return any info.

https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/a ... c49da098ad

Mini PCI-E to M.2 (NGFF) Key B Adapter with Top SIM Card Slot

I can't say then that the SIM is being recognized as the Signal/Cell Info on the Modem, Network Status screen has never changed from "Connecting" under the provider or other fields.

See attached File.

Yes

It's not possible that the SIM needs to be in the PCI-E to M.2 board SIM slot is it? I currently have it in the Router SIM slot.

AT+QCCID (I do not get a response in the window) AT+CIMI (I do not get a response in the window) AT+QSIMSTAT? (I do not get a response in the window) If the last command is to see if the SIM is being recognized I guess I'm not understanding how I'm connected to the web right now then. My wireless on ...

Sorry had to step away for a minute. I'm not sure how to embed screen shots so I'll have to type things out.

Cellular Mode: (Blank)
Change Cellular Mode: Automatic

Signal Information (All fields are blank)

Cell Information (All fields are blank)

Should the Comm Port on the Modem, Network Status screen be set to this if I'm using a PCI-E to M.2 interface?

Comm Port : /dev/ttyUSB2

I did reset the custom rules for the TTL to 64 but only rebooted the System reboot function and didn't reboot as described Didneywhorl but can reboot going forward like that.

Didneywhorl I didn't get a response from at+csq.

It doesn't make a difference if I'm connected to it over wifi does it?

Ok... Doing my best to keep up here guys.

Jim just copied that into the command and hit send command and it said waiting for response for a minute then the window went blank again without returning anything.

JIm am I adding that under the modem and if so where or under the Network firewall custom rules?

Didneywhorl can you walk me through how to run that string? Also I have no values currently under Signal info. Firmware is GoldenOrb_2020-03-07.

Under the modem, Network Status, General Info; The Provider field never updates from Connecting and no information comes up under Modem/SIM, Signal or Cell fields.

Just checked and it is disabled.

Settings within the router/modem definitely aren't right. Router can't seem to pull certain info from the modem and the modem might not be always coming up consistently too.

Well... connected... sort of...

Ok. Phone said SIM card is activated and I was able to call it and get to a voicemail prompt. Is there anything else I need to do before inserting into the router? Can anyone help me check or verify the router/modem settings? Also I still need to apparently finish by going online with T-Mobile to ...

Looking for some help setting up my SIM and navigating T-Mobile. I have a Quectel EM20-G CAT20 modem interfaced with a WE1026-5G router through a Mini PCI-E to M.2 Adapter. I'm signed up on T-Mobile's unlimited prepaid plan, need to activate my SIM but don't want to cause issue activating it. can ...

I do not need to reenable the custom TTL Settings tab correct?

This is what's in their now. I can just replace whats between start and end with the new ones correct? Thanks Jim # This file is interpreted as shell script. # Put your custom iptables rules here, they will # be executed with each firewall (re-)start. # Internal uci firewall chains are flushed and ...

I have the (Quectel EM20-G CAT20) modem installed on a (Mini PCI-E to M.2 (NGFF) Key B) adapter on the (WE1026-5G) router. The Quectel is connected to the modem with(MHF4 to U.FL) pigtails on the "D" & "M" posts as directed and all antenna's are connected to the respective antenna ports on the ...

Working on a WE1026 build and need some help to verify where I'm at and make sure I have things set before moving to trying to connect to my local tower/carrier? PM's I've sent seem to be stuck in my outbox atm.

Thanks

When going through the T-moble website to purchase the plan, $60 "Simply Prepaid Unlimited Plus", their website is a little goofy and took me a minute to find the bring your own device checkbox to continue. It automatically adds a 3-in-1 SIM Starter Kit. Do I need to be aware of anything else before ...

Perfect. Thank you.

Thank you both for the feedback. I'll get an order out tomorrow. I couldn't tell from the description for the router if it came with a power supply or if I had to order it separately.

So I'm looking to pair a modem with the WE1026-5G router. While the router shows a max download capable of 900Mbps the only modem surpassing that is the Quectel EM20-G card vs the Sierra Wireless EM7565 that tops out at 600Mbps. I understand the signal is the overriding factor of capability but all ...

I did find several posts about changing the TTL on the NIghthawk through a command prompt but short of that what about the WE1026 unit as an alternative to the WE826?

Thanks
