How would I be able to do that?

What type of antenna? It does sound like it is having trouble staying connected to band 66 with quality. Your RSRP is -110 which isn’t good

When you switch modems it can’t try to band 66 so it stays connected on a band it can communicate with. What RSRP do you get ok that other band?


For T ...

Any update?

Yeah a few things -

The em7565 has been having trouble connecting to T-Mobile in general for me, outside of the CB850 so that could be contributing to the issues.

If I use the cba850 in IP pass through it works with other carriers such as Verizon but is very slow. I believe this ...

RRC Idle tends to mean you have an issue registering to the network.

Are you using ipv4 and ipv6 TTL settings? I think Tmo likes IPV6 TTL on devices capable of ipv6



I have the TTL set to 64 for T-mobile but haven’t touched any of the IPV4/6 settings since I’m unfamiliar with them.

Using ...

Another thought, when I connect Verizon to the same modem 7565, it does not stay just on band 66 but connects to
B13 (Bandwidth 10 MHz ...

I have an archer c7 flashed with r00ter with a EM7565 connected to it via USB.

Works without an issue with an unlimited Verizon sim card but when I connect it to T-mobile, also an unlimited prepaid card it starts to have issues.

I prefer the T-mobile sim card because it gets better speeds on band ...

For those coming in the future!

I was able to resolve the issue by removing the USB modem out of the CBA850 and plugging the USB directly in the archer a7 and it was picked up and is working

Pictures of the issue and the system logs

Hey everyone

After some advice and progress, I feel like I’m close to getting the setup working.

As of right now my equipment is:

Archer C7 (v5 based on bottom of router) - Flashed with the latest supported version of r00ter.

A CBA850 with a t-mobile unlimited prepaid SIM card.

I believe it's actually a TTL issue, its set to 114 and t-mobile throttles anything that's not 64

To add to the comment above -> When I connect the CBA850 to the google nest wifi router I've tried both on LAN 1 (Nat) and LAN 2 (IP passthrough) and the speeds are the same.

It seems like the router is the bottle neck but I don't know if it's a bad configuration on my CBA850 or with google

Hey -

To answer your question the iPhone on the same t-mobile network gets 50-100mps on it's own LTE.

I just ran a speed test with the ethernet connected the CBA850 to my PC directly (not on IP Passthrough and not connected to the wifi router) and got 65mps.

When I connect my PC to the google ...

I am noticing an issue when connecting my CBA850 to the google nest wifi router where the speeds decrease significantly.

On my iPhone LTE I get about 50-100mps depending on the day and when connected through ethernet from the CBA850 to my laptop the speed drops to about 20-30.

The issue is when I ...

I have a EM7565 connected to the CBA850 with an adaptor and it was working great till this morning.

It does not register the modem at all on the system portal. When I swap the modem out with another it works just fine.

Trying to pin point the issue but no luck, I think the connectors or something ...

Sometime i'll notice it on band 2 but the results are the same, spike then drop in the final score

Last month I was able to get close to 65 down with my current setup and placement... CBA850 with the em7565 on t-mobile unlimited.

I went away for a month or two and now it barely pulls 10mps, I did notice it will spike during the speed test on fast.com and speedtest.net to over 20mps but then ...

I’m using a CBA850 modem with either the standard modem or an upgrades em7565 with a t-mobile unlimited 50 dollar plans.

When I run the speed test on my laptop connected by Ethernet I pull about 7 MPS consistently. Running the same test on my iPhone 11 and my iPhone pulls down closer to 15 MPS ...

While I do not have access to the device right now, go to your Connection Manager and look at the lower part of the window, and there is a setting for the Modem that I believe must be changed to SIM slot 1.


I attached a few pictures - Is this the area you were referring too? I tried all the ...

Screenshots - Any help would be appreciated

I originally ordered the CBA850LP6 with the standard MC7455 and set it up following the recommended tutorial with a t-mobile sim card. Everything worked as expected!

As a follow up I ordered the EM7565 and the USB3.0 To NGFF M.2 Key B Adapter Enclosure

links to the product:

I'm very curious as to how this works out. I have a CBA850LP6 now that I am using and was interested in an upgraded modem -- CP wants $600 for theirs (which is a Cat18 I believe). Maybe more importantly, theirs also requires the newer than 7.50(?) recommended, "subscription required" firmware to ...

Thanks for the information and links!

Going to order three of the pigtails for each connector (gps, main and aux) so that I can use them with the cba850.

Out of curiosity if I got the enclosure you linked above would it connect to the CBA850 or would I need to install additional software to run ...

Adding pictures for content, notice how the connector is elevated on the 7455 and much more flat on the 7565

Thank you for taking the time to respond with so much useful information.

I plan on ordering once the store opens on tomorrow and have revised my plan slightly to incorporate your feedback.

I'm going to still order the cradle:

Hey everyone -

Our new home does not have access to any kind of internet at reasonable speeds, think only satellite. After doing research I discovered that there is a tower with fiber owned by ATT about 1.3 miles away from my property that is also being used by T-mobile. I don't live there yet to ...
