Re: WE826-T help

I really appreciate all the help from you guys. I did figure out what I did wrong between all the links provided and searching past post. Now I just have to find some antennas since the T-Mobile signal is nowhere near as strong advertised.

Re: WE826-T help

WE826-T help

As I stated in a few of my post I acquired a few WE826-T devices, I found they are using a Quectel EC25-A. I purchased a OTR Mobile unlimited T-Mobile data plan and I am getting no connection at all. I put the sim in and ran a speed test with cheap internal antennas and got 0.31 mbps. I unplugged ...
