WG3526 Broken Sim Card Slot

I have SImpleMobile running in a WG3526 inside of a 700-2700MHz WiFi 4G LTE 8dBi Directional MIMO Antenna (± 45°) RJ45 Connector. Today while actively using the internet it stopped working. I opened up the antenna and the sim card no longer locks in place. I have it taped down and it seems to be ...

Antenna Upgrade/Alternate Choices

I'm currently running PagePLus with a wg3526-p with wifi-fix and EM7511. I want to install this on a pole and power it POE. I have the following antennas and a purchased enclosure/hardware.

Re: EM7511 + Rooter = SIM with no 4g data

I have visible working for the moment in my EM7511 + WRT1900ACv2 (rooter'ed). I've got a pageplus sim on the way and plan on giving that a try. I will come back here when everything comes in. :-)

EM7511 + Rooter = SIM with no 4g data

I just tried my Verizon Sim card in my EM7511 USB enclosure connected to a WRT1900ac with rooter on it. APN set for VZWINTERNET. I had data for about 3 minutes enough to run the DL portion of a speed test. Now it just sits at connecting. I popped the sim back into a phone and I can make calls, but I ...

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

I currently have it set on Band 30 due to the slowness of the other bands. Would you recommend for me to have it back on LTE all? can I easily just blacklist a particular band instead?

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

Band 30 always gets me the best speeds. It flips over to B14 sometimes and is pretty slow. Here's what you requested.

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds


Assuming you are not using external antennas, check the MHF4 connector on the MAIN modem antenna port.

Make sure it is not loose or grounding out against the metal portion of the modem.

Notice the disparity in the signal readings between the MAIN (RxM) and AUX (RxD) ports which seem constant ...

I am using a 3A quick charge 3.0 adapter with a braided micro usb cable. I'm using the provided usb 3.0 cable from the enclosure to my router. I would have to buy a new USB cable for it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

I took the sim out and put it directly in my MR1100 and it connected right up. It ran all day without any issue. I'm back on my EM7511 and my Rooter. I have it set for all bands at the moment. We will see how it runs tonight. Currently, it's jumping around bands a lot with varying speeds. I'm hoping ...

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

Woke up today to no internet again. Switched back over to MR1100 before rushing to work late. Here's what the debug screen had.. I'll hopefully be able to troubleshoot more if this happens over the weekend. Any ideas/thoughts?

OK

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds


As I mentioned previously, you want to see the RSRP stats with little difference between the RxM and the RxD:

PCC RxM RSSI: -67 PCC RxM RSRP: -97
PCC RxD RSSI: -86 PCC RxD RSRP: -123

In other words, you want them to look like this:

PCC RxM RSSI: -67 PCC RxM RSRP: -97
PCC RxD RSSI: -67 PCC ...

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds


If you are trying to get optimal performance from your setup, you need to correct the RxD stats.

Thus, I would delay locking the bands on the modem until you get the reset of the issues resolved. You can use this command to set the modem back to all bands:

AT!BAND=00

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

Gotcha. I have an additional usb cord plugged into the USB modem enclosure using a 3A plug. I just didn't want to buy another big boy antenna (its big/heavy/bulky). Do you think with tower being 5 miles that 2 yagi antennas would work fine? I could get 2 nice smaller (less weight/bulk) yagi antennas ...

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds


You have one of the .best directional antennas made. You DEFINITELY don't need a booster at 5 miles, especially with one of those antennas. I would get my money back on the booster and get a matched antenna. Matched antenna pairs are "da wae" period.

I wouldnt bad lock unless you are having ...

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

The one that I am pointing to currently is about 5 miles? Previously when I used the gli.net mifi that was where I got the best speeds. The mifi stopped recognizing sim cards so I've been on the search for a replacement.

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

This morning I woke up to the rooter telling me it was on "ATT" but no further information nor internet. I had to switch back to the MR1100 for the day (wife is working from home). Could the issue be because I bandlocked to B30?

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

It would be the omni. I tried swapping it with a small yagi antenna. The speeds are about the same as long as I'm on B30+B3. It seems like band30 and band3 is what I want to be on.

These are the antennas I have.

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

I did swap my antennas around. I have the directional antenna on the main with the omni on aux. I also removed the booster that I had connected to them. I'm now on B30 with a DL increase It seems to keep waffling on/off that band tho.

Re: New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

I will double-check the connections on the card. I am using a directional and omnidirectional antenna. In my tests, they are both connected to the MR1100 and the USB Enclosure housing the EM7511.

New EM7511 + Rooter Setup Slow Speeds

Good Morning,

I just purchased (from The Wireless Haven) an EM7511 and the USB enclosure. I have my router flashed and running rooter. I was able to get connected to ATT without issue but my speeds are very slow. I was previously using a Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 but was experiencing frequent ...
