Re: AT&T tower vs speeds
Is MC7565 significantly better? I am seeing prices in the $30-50 range for MC7455 but easily over $150 for the MC7565. I'm only seeing speeds of 25-40mbps so unless there's a benefit to the MC7565 I wasn't planning on going that route.

Re: AT&T tower vs speeds
I'm looking at moving from the M1 to a WE826-T2 and Sierra 7455 at home and using the M1 as a mobile office solution. If I do that, then I would still use the same Wilson antennas but remove the dumb TS-9 adapters and use the SMA that a real device would use. I assume in either case the CAT6 (sierra ...

AT&T tower vs speeds
I've been looking at cellmapper.com this morning to see what towers are near my location. I aimed a pair of Wilson directional antennas connected to my Nighthawk MR1100 last winter at the tower with the highest RSRP (-97 to -103dBm). My phone can get up to 70mbps download speeds depending on where I ...

Re: Nighthawk M1 vs WE826 on AT&T (or other carrier)
Since I'm going to be connecting the hotspot to a Netgear WiFi router (R7800) running DD-WRT and the only thing the hotspot will be used for is as a LTE modem, is there any benefit to getting the WG3526 over the WE826? It appears that the main benefit is the gigabit ports. But, since my LTE is ...

Re: Nighthawk M1 vs WE826 on AT&T (or other carrier)
Any way to know what bands are on towers around me? I could aim the antenna another direction if that would bump speed. I optimized for signal strength when I installed the wilson antennas.

Re: Nighthawk M1 vs WE826 on AT&T (or other carrier)
I'm not planning on using the wifi of the WE826 (or alternative) as I have a Netgear R7800 with DDWRT already and am quite happy with it. Is the WG3526 much better on the cellular side?

Nighthawk M1 vs WE826 on AT&T (or other carrier)
I've been using the M1 on AT&T via an ipad postpaid plan (with 2 other phones on unlimited). I keep it in my basement which means I had to install a pair of Wilson directional antennas in the attic to get usable coverage. It's a massive upgrade from the 1.5mbps DSL we were stuck with for the last ...
