Keep us posted on the developments. I'm especially interested in the final RPi4 config. I've got a similar side project going with mine, however I'm ignorant when it comes to best practices for Linux stuff, especially network security configuration.

I've been curious how the XPOL-2-5G would compare ...

After the restore the EP06 isn't recognized; shows no modem present under Network Status. The only place it comes up is under Debug Information below the AT command box. Whenever I directly install the EM20 it is recognized however I get the same three CME errors 3/100/14.

Also this is a different ...

Do you have an idea on pricing?

Check my video review. Never use 06-14 version. It is faulty. Use 06-10 version

Good video thanks for sharing. Where did you find a EM160 for sale? I've seen other people mention eBay, but I've yet to see one come up on there.

R1250GSA what's your setup look like currently? I would PM but they are disabled. Subscribe me to your wireless newsletter lol

I've pondered a similar concept. The way I've imaged it is outfitting a drone with an altimeter and flying it slowly around the parameter of the property with varying levels of elevation. Where I'm stuck is figuring out the most optimal way to log the data. The ideal goal would be that I can fly the ...

Thanks Didney

The EP06 has been a favorite of mine for customer installs, but I've noticed that they occasionally don't jive well with Verizon at first. Once I've gotten them working it's great, but about every 1 out of 4 EP06 don't want to connect to VZW straight away, but the same ones will ...

So it's definitely the router. I plugged the EP06 into USB adapter (with SIM), connected that into USB extender, and connected the other end into the front of the NEXR5GO and connected antennas. It booted up and worked as it should immediately, so it looks as though this issue only occurs when ...

I believe I was mistaken before when previously I said that I put the SIM card in upside down. It started working and I had assumed that was where I made a mistake, however you can't click the SIM into place upside down so I'm doubtful now. I had to use that SIM card for a couple days for my own ...

Is this the same tech as what was just used to break the 5g speed record in Finland this week? Snapdragon x55 on the phones. That pi hat from waveshare looks awesome

Just dug my NEXQ6GO out and put in a SIM, it's gold contacts up and sticks out a little just like in your photo. It does click into place though.

Check and see if your SIM card is inserted correctly. I have an identical router and the same errors and just figured it out after seeing your post. Details on mine for comparison here.

Well I solved the issue.. SIM card upside down. I checked the three CME errors and noticed they are all related to the SIM card and also saw this post from yesterday which is an identical router throwing identical errors.

To clarify, the SIM card contacts (gold side) need to be facing down.

Thank ...

I downgraded the firmware, however I'm getting +CME ERROR: 3 / 100 / 14

Received the EM20-G, completely forgot it's M.2 and not PCIE so I'll be ordering an adapter from The Wireless Haven tonight.

With the EM20-G inside of the enclosure , I plugged it into the USB port of the NEXR5GO and have recognition of the EM20. It causes the router to stop listing the EP06 via ...

By the way, I have an EM20-G that tracking says should arrive today. Should I expect the same behavior from that modem being that it's the same manufacturer?

docderwood, is it not seeing it in a similar way to this? My NEXR5GO didn't show any connectivity/AT command executions but it still was connected and communicating. If that is the case you can change the comm bus.

Here is the name of the image I ended up using "GoldenOrb_2020-03-01 ( OpenWrt 18 ...

I did. Also I misspoke on the error, it's repeating this over and over in AT command log:

Alright I've made some progress. I implemented the changes via PuTTy and have modem recognition under Network Status (and can see AT commands being executed), however it's stuck connecting and under the AT command console I'm getting Can't open device /dev/ttyUSB over and over. After submitting ...

Going to give this a try in the AM and report back. Thank you for tackling that so quickly.

Well done thank you to you and Jim both. I'm currently looking for older firmware to give this a try. If you (or anyone) has a source to download the firmware I'd be grateful.

Also, is there a different procedure to downgrade the firmware on this modem, or does it work the same as an upgrade?

Thanks for taking a look I'll monitor the thread

GO 2020 06 09

I believe that’s the same firmware that it shipped with too

Additional steps that I've taken since posting:

- Reflashed modem factory firmware via USB adapter & Quectel app. I did it according to the manufacturer guide and it passed the first time

- Reinstalled the modem into the previous router, a WE826 and it recognized it and works as normal

Going to ...

I just received a NEXR5GO from The Wireless Haven and added an EP06 to it that was previously in use in a WE826. Under Modem > Network Status I have no modem present, however it does show the modem by manufacturer and model name under Modem > Debug Information below Device Information despite AT ...

Contact info?

This may or may not help, but when I had similar issues, Yipzy's advice sorted me out:

I ran these commands and then rebooted the router and then input the APN again (through the UI)

Don't think this is to bad of a price for non POE. Could update modem later when it arrived.

Let us know how it works out with the WG3526 and EP06-A

I can't make the WiFix firmware work with my setup so I'm stuck on this firmware myself. I've not been able to upgrade the firmware from within the Intelligent Router software itself and instead have to do it via firmware recovery mode every time (see here: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f ...

Update: Getting some modem recognition/communication with WiFix and PagePlus; however still no internet connectivity with PagePlus

I updated the firmware from OEM firmware to Wifix GO 2020-03-07. After there was a clean installation (with the Simple SIM inside) I configured it to Simple APN/TTL and ...

The modem is detected and reachable with the original firmware with both the PagePlus and Simple Mobile SIM cards. There's no field to update the TTL values in the original firmware. There's also no field to enter AT commands through the original firmware.

I ordered that adapter Thursday evening at your recommendation and should be here Wednesday, so I've got some time to tinker with the setup in the meantime.

I'm getting the same response with those AT commands

Still no change in behavior. I'm still getting /ttyUSB2 Can't open device.

Sending the AT!GSTATUS? to any Quectel modem will just return an error since it's for Sierra modems only.
You can try these commands instead:

AT+QSIMSTAT?
AT+CNUM

you might try putting it in LTE only mode.
I think the command is:
