Wireless Joint

I been trying out different carriers to see which is the best for my location
i have set up verizon,at&t and simple mobile.

On one of the simple mobile sim card i used it was throttled since my mom is cheap and gets the $30 plan, It works even though its at 2G speeds. So i decided to get another ...

So, you want ROOter to be LTE+WIFI+DHCP, and you want to reuse a second DD-WRT router you have as an AP only, with an ethernet cable running in between them?

Or are you not talking about using LTE functionality at all, and just wanting a second ROOter AP that is wired to your existing DD-WRT router ...

You are only going to degrade things by removing the second antenna.

As it happens, I discovered an undocumented (just a mention of its existence in a change log ) AT command for the 74xx series last week that is exactly what you are looking for.

5MHz B26, ouch. That is gonna be an issue. Total peak bandwidth on a 5MHz carrier in 2x2 MIMO is ~37Mbps.

Your SINR and RSRQ are also very low. So the fact that you are getting terrible speeds is not at all surprising. You have about the ...

Well, for starters, that is not a Sprint tower you are connected to. You can tell because Sprint does not have any Band 4 towers.
If you enter AT!GSTATUS? a few times, you should see it cycle through a few carriers over the course of a few minutes. The modem will do this with no SIM or with a SIM ...

Is there a reason for going with 2x WG3526-P instead of using 1x WG3526-P and a USB enclosure for the second modem? ROOter has modem load balancing built in.

As for power requirements:
802.11af does 15.4 watts
802.11at does 30 watts
12v 2.5A is 30 watts.

That all said, I doubt there is any ...

I've written a bash script to automate the entire process of setting up any of the EM/MC74XX series modems (Generic, Dell, Lenovo). This assumes you have the Sierra card inserted into a USB enclosure.
