Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

Finally got it working and stable. Disney plus, Prime and Netflix all working. Speeds are still pretty slow, but I'm in a highly congested area. Will try a speed test later tonight.

This is a game changer for anyone who relies on LTE for their primary connection. Will be making a donation once ...

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm having a really hard time figuring this out...

Following the above advice, I've isolated WAN2 which is a prepaid VZW sim with hotspot enabled. I started by testing with the phone (Samsung A51) tethered via WiFi to my PC. It seems like VZW is intentionally ...

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

I'm trying to bond two Verizon LTE connections, but the speed and latency are terrible. One of the Verizon connections (WAN1) passes the Multipath test. The other (WAN2), which is a Hotspot plan attached to a WG1608 running Rooter, times out. Do I need to add/enable TCP Multipath on the WAN2 Rooter ...

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

I figured it out. Have to use a KVM VPS instance. If the OP is still checking you may want to update the first post for the other noobs out there.

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

This is proving harder than I would have thought. I'm struggling to get the VPS setup. I lost hours trying to update Ubuntu (kept getting broken pipe message) and then gave up and switched VPS to Debian.

Now, I'm unable to get OpenMPTPC installed properly. I execute this command:

wget -O - https ...

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

This looks like a really fun project. Quick question before I invest the time... On my best WAN connection, I average around 50 ms latency to the closest VPS provider. I understand that this is my floor once I start bonding other connections. As far as overall bandwidth, will I still see an ...

Re: Intermittent "Can't open device /dev/ttyUSB2

Switching to MBIM did the trick. Can confirm latency is generally higher on Verizon with MBIM.

Re: Intermittent "Can't open device /dev/ttyUSB2

Fixed the issue by setting the modem to use the Generic firmware. Now, it looks like carrier aggregation is not working. When I run AT!LTECA? it says not implemented. I"m currently locked to bands 4, 13 and 66. Would switching to MBIM make any difference? I figured how to issue the right USBCOMP ...

Intermittent "Can't open device /dev/ttyUSB2

I'm experiencing intermittent modem drop outs after the initial connection. Upon startup, the modem will eventually connect, but it takes a few attempts. Hardware is WG1608 running 12-2-2020 Rooter f/w with an EM7565 running the Generic SWI9X50C_01.08.04.00 (latest) firmware. Protocol is QMI (almost ...

Re: MoFi4500 Sim 7 and Passthrough

Tried hard reset and no go. I'm not super familiar with the Mofi4500 interface. Where would I look in the GUI to compare the settings/status of the Sim3 unit which is working fine with IP passthrough to the Sim7 which I just can't seem to get working?

MoFi4500 Sim 7 and Passthrough

Hey -- did some searching on the boards and haven't found anything on this topic. I'm having trouble setting up pass through on the Sim7. I have a Sim3 also and passthrough works just fine with my router which is handling DHCP. Weirdly, when I setup the Sim7, I'm able to connect to the internet on a ...

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter


Given what you're looking for, I'd recommend focusing on a failover/failback solution rather than going with WAN bonding. No reason to add a VPS into the equation if you're only looking to use one WAN at a time. ROOter would probably be your best choice (a fork of OpenWRT focused on cellular ...

Just to confirm. The home internet plan is really unlimited? No soft caps, throttling video, etc?

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

Wow. This information is amazing! Thank you!

Question for the OP or anyone else with experience: using these tools, is it possible to track data usage on one WAN and completely failover to another once a cap is hit? I'd like to combine a wireless line of sight ISP which is capped daily with an LTE ...
