Re: WTB: WG3526 T-Mobile

I have a ZBT WG3526 that has an EM7455, GoldenOrb installed.

I'm in the process of upgrading so I'm still using my MOFI 4500 sim7 so I can pick up band 71.

T-Mobile Band 71

The tower nearest me just bumped B71 from 5mhz to 10mhz.

My download speeds have more than doubled.

This was a pleasant surprise.

LTE Band : B71 (Bandwidth 10 MHz Down | 10 MHz Up)

Re: Modem help


Store opens back up on Monday.


What does this mean exactly? Is the store closed on weekends?

I tried last week, and this morning. And all I get is the following:

Re: Ready for an upgrade . . I think


Just remember if using band 71 make sure your external antennas support the 600mhz range, many start at 700 and work their way up


I have 1 antenna now that supports the 600mhz range. The others are in the 700mhz range because I was primarily using B12 prior to B71 becoming available in my area ...

Re: Sierra MC7411 Info with TMO Band 71 CA

Last time I spoke with someone at MOFI (June-ish ) they had mentioned Sept/Oct as the target release date for the 5500. I guess with everything going on that got pushed back significantly.

Re: Ready for an upgrade . . I think

I just flashed r00ter to my unused mofi4500 SIM4. I'm going to play around with that a bit as a way to start learning some of this stuff. I think want to squeeze as much speed as I can out of my in the sticks location. :)

Ready for an upgrade . . I think

I live in quite a rural area and have found a setup that I can "get by" with.

I started with the MOFI4500 SIM4 with an unlimited TMobile business plan through a reseller. Used it mostly on Band 12 speeds usually hovered right around 7-8Mbps.

When TMobile turned on Band 71 I "upgraded" to the ...
