Wireless Joint

In the meantime I also ordered a data plan (~$150 :o ) from UnlimtedIRL on recommendation from the Wireless Joint group.

Oh my god, who recommended that to you? UnlimitedIRL is extremely overpriced.

If you're looking for AT&T, there are plenty of cheaper resellers or vendors on this list:

When I first put in the verizon SIM in, it connected fine but then I changed the TTL and power cycled and it was not able to connect again, even if I reverted settings or reflashed the firmware. ATT/T-Mobile work fine on it. Tried on two different SIMs now

It seems I am actually having a similar issue to this thread.

EP06 modem, stay trying to connecting, error 303

Except I didn't have a power outage. And it only seems to be an issue with VZN.

Yeah sorry that's what I meant, I actually do unplug and plug back in.
I tried this with 2 different active SIMs. It's kind of odd.

The other thing is that when it randomly managed to connect at first, at a TTL of 65 and 117, it was still being detected as hotspot usage.

hello, I have a WE826-Q with a verizon SIM. On the initial boot, the SIM was able to connect but even at a TTL of 117 it was still using hotspot data.

However, the bigger issue is that when I tried switching the TTL and rebooting, I am no longer able to connect no matter what I do through the ...

Previously I made a post about how the mediatek chipset on the WE826 performed very poorly(you should go with the qualcomm chip) but I realized that my WIFI speeds and connection are actually significantly worsened by flashing the goldenorb firmware vs the WIFI speeds on the original firmware it ...

I was looking at some USB modems/routers from china and came across a device that uses a MT6735 chipset, which is a chipset with an integrated modem that a bunch of cell phones typically use. I am not that familiar with the hardware of 4G devices but I was under the impression that typically you can ...

Nighthawk m1 doesnt seem to support band 13 and also doesn't have TTL.


However, recently I've seen 3 resellers pop up selling unlimited verizon using the nighthawk M1 router. Which is strange because it doesn't allow for TTL so I would assume they get throttled after about 15 gb to 600 kbps in ...

Doesn't it also depend on the cell tower's capacity/technology/congestion? I've been to areas where I get -25 dBm worse signal on a particular band but get 4 times the speeds without any carrier aggregation.

Also, idk how it works on sierra but if you lock to a particular band as you're doing, does ...

not connecting to certain sites was an issue I had with a device before and it was resolved by changing my connection to IPV4.

Question for ya... can you and have you flashed the W826-Q router with GoldenOrb or WiFix firmware? Is it even possible?


Yeah I have. Goldenorb has a specific firmware for the WE826-Q. I haven't tried the WiFix one from Wireless Joint because it only shows firmware for WE826-T2.

Unfortunately ...

Or, the device you're connecting with has some incompatibility issue with this particular router, but not with others.

I did test it across different devices. I also tried reflashing firmware, changing WIFI channels but same issue. I don't know if it's just this particular router but I am ...

The WE826 is known not the have the greatest WiFi performance, the WG3526 seems to be much better.
Not sure if you have already, but try flashing the router with the latest WiFix firmware via bootloader mode.

Yes I do have the WiFix firmware on it but I just realized ...

Recently got a WE826-T2 and this thing is getting consistently outperformed wirelessly in range and throughput by a mini GL-MT300N-V2, which I got for $12 connected behind the we826. The speeds were sometimes 2-3x greater going through the mini router's WIFI than directly from the WE826-T2 with no ...

Can that UA detection be circumvented by going through a VPN? Either way, what are the chances they would detect past that and look at modem parameters? I dont think the average AT&T employee even has the tools to do that. It would be an issue if they did a serious investigation and idk how often ...

If you still have the old ATT tablet/iPad plan make sure the APN is set to "broadband" or alternatively "nxtgenphone".
There are lots of reports online that ATT is clamping down big time on router usage especially on their newer $65/$75 prepaid plans.


If you got the APN down, the TTL changed ...

Have you tested both? Which one do you prefer?

I looked up online and it seems the netgear nighthawk m1 has a cat12, snapdragon x16 or something modem and it's relatively cheap for it's quality. How come more LTE routers don't use a snapdragon modem? Is it also possible to transfer a module from ...

Both of these modems are quite similar in band support, and both support carrier aggregation although the EP06-A tends to be a bit cheaper. However, I have read online, that people who have compared their MofI router to their router with the EP06-A have had differing speeds and seemed to find that ...

Hey it worked! Some of the instructions were in Chinese but I got through it.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you Bill. I will test it and get back with an update.

BTW, the router I received came with a different gateway IP: 192.168.8.1 Do I have to adjust the IP settings to my LAN port on my PC to 192.168.8.10 instead of 192.168.1.1? I really dont know much about this stuff.

That is true. We special order our WiFiX version with a standard build of OpenWRT to avoid these issues.

Hi Jim, which supplier do you special order the WiFiX version from? Is it Shenzhen Zhibotong Electronics co. ltd?

I would like to order one or multiple units with that firmware but the ...

Hi, I recently got a WE826-Q router with an EC25 module.

The firmware I got is some sort of custom LEDE build OpenWRT firmware.

When I try to upload and flash the .BIN file for either goldenorb/WIFIx, It says the file format is not supported.

I realize this may be because I am not flashing from ...
