Re: Diagnose Dropped Internet MOFI 4500 from Syslog?


Well, at least that's a potentially fixable problem with a new antenna. I assume you are using the stock flappy paddle antennas? Pretty sure those are only 3 dBi gain, so there is definitely room for improvement. Unfortunately it's the type of problem you have to throw money at in order to solve ...

Re: Diagnose Dropped Internet MOFI 4500 from Syslog?

Interesting, I found a similar chart but with ranges showing me more in the fair range. I've had this MOFI for only about 4 months.

Re: Diagnose Dropped Internet MOFI 4500 from Syslog?

Good point. I assumed since I am getting good speeds I was ok but after posting these numbers, I see that some are considered in the range where I may get drop outs, correct?

CSQ: 25
Signal Strength: 80%
RSSI: -63 dBm
ECIO: -12 (RSRQ) dB
RSRP: -90 (RSRP) dBm

MOFI 4500 and Family Shield

I was probably messing with some settings and now my MOFI is forcing my DNS to use FamilyShield (OpenDNS) servers 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123. I do not have those specified as my DNS servers anywhere and I do not have their "Apply Family Shield to All Devices" checked under MOFI Family Shield ...
