Yay! It works!

My S4 wouldn't turn on, so I bought a Moto e on sale to activate it. Other than that, everything went smoothly. What are your TTL settings? I'm currently set to TTL 117. Even if I only get 5mbps, I can live with that. There are only 2 of us, and we only stream on 1 TV. Is the VPN for ...

Sweet. I just signed up for visible. I just need a hold over until Starlink later this year. It's capped at 5mbps right? That's fine as I only really need web browsing and 480p streaming on 1 TV.

Thanks!

I think I might give this a shot. So I just sign up with Visible, receive a SIM card, and pop it in my old Galaxy S4 to activate it? And then just switch it over to my EM12-G setup?

I'm also looking for a Verizon plan. My $69/month Ebay SIM stopped working a week ago. At least the company was nice enough to email us and let us know that Verizon was cutting the cord(less). I was hoping for a BYOD solution that I can use with my EM12-G. My internet options are extremely limited ...

This has been a good thread, and it includes a happy ending.
Although in the boonies, you are doing well.


Oh, for sure. This has already exceeded my expectations, and if this is where it caps out, I'll still be more than happy. But I'm the type to tinker and optimize, so I figure I'll keep at it ...

Everything is set up and has been working well for several days now. It wouldn't connect initially, but switching to MBIM mode, setting TTL to 117, and putting in the APN (vzwinternet) did the trick. I'm getting pretty good throughput too, though it varies quite a bit depending on the time of day ...

So first off, I would make sure that your antennas support band 71. Most off-the-shelf antennas list 698 or 700mhz as minimum frequency for advertised gains. Band 71 downlink frequency is 617 - 652mhz. Another user pointed this out to me a few days ago. It looks like band 12 & 71 are coming off the ...

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 it ...

Ok, so I got itchy fingers and pulled the trigger. :D Figured if I got the order in tonight it might ship tomorrow.

- WiFix WE826GO-U
- The Wireless Haven USB3.0 to NGFF M.2 Key B Adapter Enclosure
- x2 MHF4 Female to SMA Female 5in Pigtails
- Proxicast 7-10dBi MIMO panel (from ...

Thanks for the detailed response. You raise some VERY good points.

The other problem to consider with band 71 is that most antennas dont support band 71. They start at 700 and go up or in the case of some of the higher end mimo anetnnas start at 1700. Thus even if you futureproofed with the modem ...

I would look at the ep06 modern. I am also on Verizon and it covers all the bands. I believe it also covers all the att bands as well. The only thing it lacks is band 71. It's also pcie so no adaptors or different pigtails needed.
So, the EP06-A was actually the first modem to catch my attention ...

Hey guys and gals,

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try a LTE home internet setup in order to ditch ViaSat (I live out in the boonies). I found a Verizon reseller who seemed fairly legit, and ordered a MoFi 4500 SIM7. I found a window to perch the MoFi where I can get 20+mbps @ 4am, and 6 mbps ...

I just tried to use the WebShell and I keep getting an error message:
/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:448: Failed to execute cbi dispatcher target for entry '/quick/system/WebShell'.
The called action terminated with an exception:
/usr/lib/lua/luci/cbi.lua:334: Unable to read UCI data: shellinabox ...

Oh, I also found the router becomes unresponsive for a moment when this happens when connected via wifi, or when using IP passthrough to my AmpliFi router. I'm looking back through all of the many screenshots I've taken, and it looks like I was wired directly into the MoFi ethernet port every time I ...

Hey guys,

I figured I would piggy back on this post, seeing as I'm having the same issue as OP with the same hardware (MoFi 4500 SIM7). My connection repeatedly drops and reconnects, and every time the internet LED indicator goes out for a minute or two and then comes back on.

I noticed when this ...
