Re: RM500Q-AE with 2x2 MIMO

I just tried

Code: Select all

AT+QCFG="lte4x4mimo/disable",0
on my RM500Q-AE and it returned:

Code: Select all

AT+QCFG="lte4x4mimo/disable",0
ERROR
What gives? I have two 2x2 MIMO antennas connected. One on antenna ports 0,3 and one on ports 1,2 as the documentation shows is correct (I think).

RM500Q-AE & TMHI

I'm getting ready to finalize my TMHI build with my RM500Q-AE!

I'm here to ask for advice on what mode I should put the modem in for optimal performance, or just advice in general.
I've done several setups using 4G modems but never a 5G one. Using two 2x2 panels (so 4x4 MIMO), and externally ...

Re: RM500Q-AE / 5G / ANTENNAS / T-MOBILE

Are you only using 3 of the antenna connectors?

I'm getting ready to do a similar setup, and looking forward to someone answering this. I really hope I have better luck than you.

WE826GO no bandlock?

I recently switched to an external enclosure for my router, and since I wanted minimal downtime I used my old WE826GO while continuing to use my NEXQ6GO-M.

Well now that it's all done, mounted on the pole outside... it appears the WE826GO firmware (yes I have the latest) does not support band ...

Will the WG1608-5G fit properly in the medium size Wireless Haven enclosure?

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?

I had a discussion with T-Mobile earlier today to upgrade my 4G unit to the new 5G one, and they said there is no official channel yet to upgrade existing customers but they are working on it. They took my details and said to check back next month. Debating if I want to just send this back and ...

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?


Everything I've seen so far about the new gateway say's it doesn't have external antenna ports. Probably need to disassemble it and dissect like the OP did with the old gateway. I'll be getting mine today (out for shipping!) I'll report if I see any available ports on the outside.


There are no ...

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?

I also have the MHF-SW23 test probe, perhaps it fits. I will try this as soon as I get to the office and get the router disassembled again. Also this time I'll try and take better up close photos of what is on the router and the SW23 test kit connectors that I have. Although I believe now with the ...

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?


Great photos! Definately SW-23. IPEX1 and IPEX4 connectors are technically a male board connector, and this is obviously female. Also its much higher at the base. This base houses the switching portion of the port.

Good stuff.


If these are MHF-SW23 then why does my MHF-SW23 connector directly ...

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?


Just signed up for the service and noticed on Reddit that they are shipping new devices. My order shows that I'll be getting the new Nokia device. Anyone seen this, or know if it will be able to accept external antennas, or be modified?

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?

I would be interested in what the LTE admins think about my discovery that they do not appear to be MFH-SW23. I wonder if they ordered the correct thing themselves to sell later on the site?? I'm looking through IPEX's website now to see what it could possibly be. Will try and remember to take my ...

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet has hidden MHF4 connectors for external antennas?

I'm sure those connectors are not MHF-SW23. I have sample parts directly from IPEX which included one soldered connector to a blank PCB for insertion testing, and a MHF-SW23 to SMA bulk head and it will NOT connect to the connectors, they are not the right size compared to MHF-SW23. We need to ...

Re: Sharing one MIMO LTE antenna between two modems


I agree with most of what you say, except the splitter that one should use. I would argue that the best one is https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/accessories/combiners/800-2500mhz-two-way-rf-power-divider/

Of course, I could be biased toward product selection but, then again, it is how I stay in ...
