This worked for an EM160R-GL on Visible. Only change:

Instead of
- Set to 4g LTE only Command = AT+QCFG="nwscanmode",3,1

You mentioned signal strength ...

Thank you for the responses!

This is in an RV that will be moving fairly regularly so I wasn’t too terribly concerned with the the signal strength as within a few weeks I’ll be in a completely different area. That said I certainly don’t want to be stuck on 3G!

All,

I'm slamming my head against a proverbial brick wall and hoping someone can provide some assistance.

I have a 1608 running GoldenOrb_2021-03-25, a Quectel EM160R-GL, and a new AT&T post-paid hotspot account ($55/100GB).
