Wireless Joint

UPDATE: new modem seems to have resolved my issues. My ISP (Viper Broadband) sent me a new hotspot router, a GL-X750 from GL-iNet, and it does a much better job at handling our connection load. Now we'll have periodic slowdowns where video performance in Zoom degrades and my remote desktop feels a ...

No it's not in Access Point mode. The primary Google Wifi node is connected to one of the ethernet ports on my router and Google Wifi handles its own DHCP.

Any ideas why that might cause an issue? Wifi on the hotspot router has been switched off so there shouldn't be any contention or clients that ...

Tell me what model mifi you are using, and crash usually means kernel panic and device ends up in download or 9008 (QDL) mode, is that what happened?


I don't see a model or brand name on the hotspot router, it was supplied by my ISP. When I log into its Luci interface, the system status page ...

Yes, I've got the hotspot router with built-in modem from the picture above, but I have the wifi in that router switched off. That router is connected by ethernet to a Google Wifi mesh, which is what supplies wireless access to the rest of the house. My work computer connects directly to the hotspot ...

So yesterday tossed my theory out of the window. I had thought that the modem would crash under load from multiple simultaneous video calls. Yesterday however I was the only one online and so there was only one video call going on, and yet my modem crashed 3 times over a span of a few hours. I haven ...

Thanks for the reply! There is already a scheduled reboot at 4am every day. I suppose I could look for an opportunity to do a hard reboot in the morning, after I've been working for a bit but before my kids start their video calls, maybe that would help.

I'll check with my ISP, I thought they had ...

I've got a Verizon 4G LTE hotspot with unlimited data (my ISP says it's an HD video plan), using a MIMO external antenna and 4 CPU / 256M RAM router (see image below, not sure of the model) with built-in modem (Quectel EM12) and Verizon sim running OpenWRT with Luci and ROOTer. Speedtest.net ...

I've been really happy with Google Wifi. I use 3 units to cover my 2500 sq ft, two story house, and I added a 4th unit to improve coverage in my home office and allow me to hook up a NAS via ethernet. I've got it connected to a generic hotspot router and external antenna.
