Just got T-Mobile's home internet on their current promo for 30/month when you have a Magenta Max voice line. Previously I was using a One Plus International mobile line in my modems ( Quectel RM502Q-AE + WG1608 , Telit LM960 + WE826 ). I was never really happy with how those previous setups worked ...

Hello,
Sorry this isn't what you are asking. Have you tried to see if you can get T-Mobile home internet? $50 per month unlimited legit data. In my experience was actually faster than T-Mobile One-Plus International,


It's all good, I'm open to other ideas. Addresses I currently receive mail at ...

I have two lines of T-Mobile One-Plus International, one for my cellphone and one as my main source of internet in a modem. I've been pretty happy with the service, it doesn't slow down too much during peak-hours and I use in the ballpark of 300gigs/month ( and only around 20gigs on the cellphone ...

Did you flash it like 3x in a row without "saving settings" and then setup the settings fresh by hand without using a saved config file?


Hmm, I didn't take notes to be able to relay the exact steps I took. But roughly what I did is I tried to use the router config pages to flash to a recent ...

GoldenOrb_2021-09-13 ( WiFiX-WG1608-GO2021-09-13a.zip ) which I got from the Google Drive link on https://thewirelesshaven.com/wifix-router-firmware/. As of today it still appears to be the latest wifix version offered

It's been a couple of years since I tested Speedify, but the performance was not nearly on par with what you can do with OpenMPTCProuter. Speedify is also much more oriented towards running on an individual client computer (i.e. a single device gets the benefit of multiple WANs). It is possible to ...

This is like a DIY version of speedify? Why choose this over speedify or vice versa?

As for the issue mentioned in the OP with T-Mobile, I set my module to 4G-Only from the config pages in Wifix ( Modem > Miscellaneous > Cellular Mode )and power cycled the router. 4G-Only mode on the RM502Q-AE using T-Mobile lets my PC receive ping responses and my applications and online games work ...

Yep the issue is related to using T-Mobile with this setup ( WG1608 and RM502Q-AE ). I got my ATT tablet & SIM today and put it in my identity-crisis RM502Q-AE / WG1608 , and on ATT I'm able to receive response to pings sent from my PC and games properly load server lists and are playable. Wish ...

Let us know if you actually end up getting a 5G signal or connection with your new sim. As far as I know there are only a few of ATT's plans that are 5G enabled and pretty sure the popular postpay $20 tablet plan isn't one of them. If this is the case, i'm gonna have to do some research on it as I ...

T-Mobile ( postpay, One Plus International ). I have a 5G provisioned SIM for the ATT $20 postpay tablet plan on the way to try soon.

Having same type of issue with my WG1608 ( flashed to wifix GoldenOrb_2021-09-13 ) and Quectel RM502Q-AE ( just purchased with flash to latest firmware ). Was quite happy that both my upload and download roughly doubled using the same antenna setup, compared to my WE826 & Telit LM960.

On a van, currently using a Telit LM960 modem, with four of these on the roof;

Been thinking about these tall suckers made by RFI in Australia.

Initially I had thought the taller the better, but a ...

I've been wondering the same. Mine tends to lock on B66 most of the time on Verizon, but will sometimes want to revert to B13 or B4 with much slower speeds. Wondering if there is a way to set CA to user B66 and B2 for example like I could with my 7565.


What router or device is your LM960 ...

In my original post I was referencing Revision 1 of the LM960 AT Commands Reference Guide dated 2018-04-19 . Looks like they are currently on Revision 7, released 2021-04-13 . The note that I circled in red from Revision 1 does not appear in Revision 7, and they now document the use of the <LTE band ...

For setting bands, the LM960 AT Commands Reference Guide r1 gives a chart of the "bit mask" ( am I using that term correctly? ) values for each band as follows;
<LTE band>
1 B1
2 B2
4 B3
8 B4
10 B5
40 B7
80 B8
800 B12
1000 B13
2000 B14
10000 B17
20000 B18
40000 B19
80000 B20
1000000 B25
2000000 B26 ...

Had this project stored away for a long time. It seems there was a problem with the USB enclosure/adapter I had the LM960 in as it got where it would rarely be detected by my WE826, and also very unreliably when plugged into my windows laptop.

I finally installed the module directly in the WE826 ...

I think there was some conflict with two modems attached at the same time, at some point I started having spotty web connectivity off the WE826 wifi through the LM960 but the golden orb firmware still wouldn't allow me to interact with it, pretty much all of the connection info on the Modem ...

I am told the mofi is the same as a WE826 . ofmodemsandmen has different firmware for the WE826 and WE826-Q variant. Anyone know what the Q variant is, and how to tell if that's what you have?

Edit: Oh yeah the one I have is called MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM4-COMBO-GPS

Telit got back with me pretty fast. I told them I was using the modem plugged into my windows 10 laptop and asked if the TCM program was compatible with the LM960. Here's their response incase anyone finds this thread in a search;

The TCM program does not support the higher data rate cards like ...

For anyone to help you, you'll need to provide a bit more info, such as which carrier are you using, and the plan.
Also, go to the modem's status page (where it shows the connection status), then copy/paste all that info here so we can see where the issue is.


Hey Bill,
Carrier is T-Mobile, on ...

I flashed my MOFI4500 with the golden orb. I want to use my Telit LM960 in an external USB enclosure ( from The Wireless Haven ) plugged into the MOFI.

The LM960 in USB enclosure plugged straight into my PC provides web access but I want it through the router. Rooter seems to recognize it is ...

I got an LM960 , currently using it plugged into my laptop with a USB3 enclosure. I want to get it set up in a standalone case to provide web access for all my devices.

I was previously using a MOFI4500 with the mc7455 and I liked having the wired ethernet, wifi, and the cellular module all in one ...

Got my Telit LM960 and playing with it in a USB3-mPCIe enclosure. Installed their module drivers and windows 10 starts using it as an internet connection. They also have a TCM ( Telit Connection Manager ) program that looks like it would show info on signal strength and hopefully allow me to see or ...

Thanks Didney, I will look into the wg3526

For testing purposes, you could connect the LM960 in the USB3 enclosure to a pc's USB3 port in order to experience the mobile network's full performance with no bottleneck at the modem port. FYI: The LM960 is being sold in two versions, the first is the ...

Thanks, I looked into the LM960 and ordered it as well as four MHF4 to SMA pigtails and now ordering two more antennas.

I would like to get this working in the MOFI because I really like having a compact all-in-one package that has the modem, wired ethernet, and wifi. Sounds like the MOFI would ...

I'm on T-Mobile ( one plus international plans, not sure if theres a better value now )and my phone often has signal from band 66 and/or 71 when the mofi has poor or no signal because it only seems to make use of band 2, 4, and 12 . I understand that the em7565 adds support for band 66 and can be ...
