Wireless Joint

@Didneywhorl Okay thank you, I've seen a couple different ways of plugging it up so I got confused a little bit. One way was how you have it but antenna 2 and 4 were switched. I also saw 1:2 2:3 3:1 4:0, I was like which one do I do ha ha.

Hello, been looking all over for an answer and haven't quite found a definitive one, I have a RM520N-GL in a usb enclosure and I want to plug it up to my Waveform 4x4 mimo panel antenna correctly. The Waveform has port 1 +45, port 2 -45, port 3 +45, and port 4 -45 I believe. The modem has 0,1,2, and ...

Ahh okay, I thought that was what you meant, not sure I'm comfortable doing it but thank you for the suggestion and I appreciate the help.

Couple other options, if you're interested:

T-Mobile is all no-contract. So there's that.

T-Mobile business internet is available to almost anyone for ...

Ahh okay, I thought that was what you meant, not sure I'm comfortable doing it but thank you for the suggestion and I appreciate the help.

Isn't that a contract plan? How does that work with a router? Steps involved to get it working? I'm a big fan of prepaid because you don't have to pay each month. I think the magenta max only has 40Gb of data for the hotspot.

Also, I know this isn't the right category but do you know of any good unlimited or high data cap plans for T-Mobile 5G? I've been using a 50GB T-mobile plan and its not enough data for me.

Good to know thank you, I went to support for the IC and they tried but they couldn't really help my situation, I think their firmware isn't really compatible with this x62 modem quite yet. Switching to the x62 the Tower Band Scan doesn't work on T-Mobile 5G and the Full Spectrum Scan kind of works ...

My IC says n71+n25 5G SA so it is possible for sure. Alright, have you used the InvisaGig 5G tower lock with tmobile? Like you have two 5G towers available, both have the same band like n71, you can lock to either or separately?

Didneywhorl Another question about the InvisaGig 5G, my IC unit connects to n71 but what I want to do is connect to a different tower that has way lower ping then the one I'm on now but has the same band. The unit did see the tower at one time via the Full Spectrum Scan but now it doesn't since a ...

Didneywhorl Ahh that's unfortunate, definitely looking forward to the new model coming soon.

Seems like they are pretty happy with it lol. They are only using the paddle antennas too, gotta hook up the big 4x4 mimo panel next. At my house I have multiple 5G signals from T-Mobile but I haven't been ...

Didneywhorl Thank you for the response and explaining it all to me, that's good to know that it'll be fine outside in the enclosure especially the antenna panel enclosure. That's the type of setup I had in mind for the future if it'll be a significant improvement over what I got now.

Good point, I ...

zac2424 Interesting, I thought it might overheat in there because the hot air has nowhere to go, hopefully one day I can try it. Currently on the intsy Connect 5G RM520 so it'll probably be awhile before I can get an Invisagig 5G unit sadly. Do you see any difference in latency (ping) now that you ...

zac2424 Thank you for the updates, that is very important to me because I'm a competitive Call of Duty player so I'm trying to maximize my cellular connection as much as possible. How would the fan work in a enclosure? The hot air inside couldn't escape right? I did use Verizon at one time but the ...

In performing a lot of research I've found that something with the way ROOter manages the modem connections or possibly OpenWrt is limiting speeds to ~250Mbps. I've moved on to the InvisaGig which is a fantastic device. You can learn more here: https://invisagig.com/

Hello, I wanted to get some ...

@Didneywhorl Do you have any intel on how to get the InvisaGig 5g outside into an enclosure or the 4x4 mimo panel enclosure? I wasn't sure how it would work because it seems like InvisaGig discourage opening the device and it has a fan so I didn't how it would work in a closed enclosure.

Just got my 2 units and have started playing around. There is a lot of configuration you can do; tower and band lock, searches, status etc. wondering what it does with ttl? Is it just always hotspot data, cause there is no way to change it.

Thank you for updating, do you think it can be put ...

zac2424 Same kind of, as soon as I saw it on the Wireless Haven website I was super interested, I felt like I was looking at the unit I wanted when I first started looking at cellular equipment years ago. Be sure to leave a review somewhere about it I'd love to get a more in-depth look at it. That ...

Didneywhorl Yeah when I first saw it I was like I can't wait until there's more info about this thing. I feel like I would have bought this first ha ha.

I didn't think it was overpriced but I could see what they were saying, I think they did like the ease of use that it has but like you said they ...

Very interesting, I would have loved to have this as an option last year before I bought the intsy Connect ha ha, don't get me wrong its a great unit but InvisaGig sounds more geared to what I originally wanted. I talked to some other people about InvisaGig and one thought it was overpriced and a ...

Oh okay that's pretty cool, could you tell me if it double nat when you plug it into to another routers wan port? Also. great addition that they added cell tower lock, the only router I saw that had that was the intsy connect and was one of the big reasons why I got it last year.

Alright sounds good, I also found more information on InvisaGig's website. Are you going to get one?

I'm interested in this new internet system The Wireless Haven has come out with so I wanted to know if anyone has a tutorial of the interface and how this system could be setup outside in a enclosure. This system is what I wanted to have years ago when I first started looking at cellular equipment ...

Alright thank you, once again I appreciate the help and answering all my questions, hopefully everything will work out

Do I apply the glue once I clip the adapter onto the connector to the 4x4 mimo panel? Want to make sure I don't mess up the connectors for the antenna and the adapter.

Yeah they did, not sure if its better than the other one but the usb c should be faster theoretically I guess. If you have the 4G version you can upgrade to it for $630 plus shipping, if you have 5G version its much cheaper. You rebel lol, might give it a try if I'm feeling adventurous.

I appreciate that thank you very much, yeah it can be a strength sometimes then in others it can take up a lot of time.

Alright cool, sounds pretty simple.

Actually that's what I thought too but instead of usb a male they are using a usb c female on this adapter for the RM520. Okay sounds good, I ...

I have no doubt that the WH 4x4 mimo panel is solid, I'm not bashing it at all, I just want to make sure the money is well spent for my use case for n71 and n25.

I probably am and I appreciate you continuing to stick it out with me and answer my questions :)

I might be able to do that I'll have to ...

I'm real confused now, what I've read is if the VSWR is too high it can damage the radio so you want it under two preferably, the higher VSWR you have the less return loss you get which from what I'm seeing that isn't good. So for the WH's antenna it could be considered poorly matched at n71 because ...

The waveform antenna has better VSWR and about the same gain as WH's antennas from what I'm reading from that. I'd think with the higher VSWR the WH's antenna has then the extra db gain it has on the waveform in band 71 would be negated, right?

Yeah its unfortunate I can't get them all and test. The 4x4 mimo 5g binoculars I don't think I've seen any reviews about it, intsy made it clear though I can get whatever antenna I want but they are also confident in their product. I probably got 50 trees almost stacked back to back just around the ...

Thank you for trying to explain it to me. I'm trying to make the best decision I can but its rough with the lack of info and knowledge on the subject so I appreciate you filling in the gaps. Yeah I'd like to have a test with all four too but I don't know if they can do that or not. Ughh its so ...

It was through their Support, it was in video form that he showed me. I compared it to WH's antenna charts and not one has better VSWR from what I saw on his digital chart, one thing they could have on it is more gain because I don't know how much gain their antenna has. Basically it sits under two ...

I believe it was just one antenna but the one antenna was in the full 4x4 config, 620 mhz-2600mhz it was around 1.6 VSWR. I don't think they have any charts, he was using a device to measure VSWR so there was a chart on the screen of it.

Okay I'll have a look at the cable to make sure, that's good to know thank you. VSWR on their antennas are about 1.6, I don't know the gain though. The 4x4 mimo panel had a spike on VSWR at n71 downlink and uplink which was I think 3.5-4.5 or something, what are your thoughts on that?

Yeah it would be more of a convenience thing if I got it, I could just slot the modem straight into it and done. The router and modem in the 4x4 mimo panel antenna though is something I've been wanting to do for awhile. He does testing on the antennas he uses so I have no doubt they are good but I ...

Ha ha wow my bad, thanks for pointing that out, I thought if there was just one it would say like '1 left in stock' or something. Nice that's good to hear, thank you for letting me know. Do you have any opinions on the intsy Connect 4x4 mimo binoculars (2 small yagis on top and 2 big yagis below ...

@Didneywhorl It doesn't appear to be the same page, this is what I was looking at https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/cables/rf-pigtail-jumper-cables/ufl-pigtails/u-fl-female-pcb-to-sma-male-right-angle-adapter-pigtail/ I see on your link it does allow you to add more but mine doesn't have an option ...

I'm trying to buy a u.fl pcb to sma male adapter cable for my setup but I can only buy one and it won't let me increase the quantity in My Cart. My objective is to use the adapter cables to connect the 4x4 mimo flat panel antenna enclosure connectors to my 5G modem which has sma female connectors.

@vahnwinkle, as far as I know the T-Mobile Home Internet sims are locked to the device it comes with, didn't want you to waste time getting it and trying it then wondering why nothing is happening.

Edit: No, you can change the identity of the home internet device using the supplied sim card ...

@vahnwinkle, as far as I know the T-Mobile Home Internet sims are locked to the device it comes with, didn't want you to waste time getting it and trying it then wondering why nothing is happening.

Great to hear, I've heard a lot of positive things about it and wanted to confirm its viability before I bought a Cudy router. Calyx is a pretty good deal last time I looked at it, strong choice. Yeah I almost bought the LT18 but I had found on reddit that the 5G version was coming out ...

@tetranz
How is the Cudy LT18 doing? I've been thinking about getting the Cudy P5 which is the 5G version that came out recently. Looking for a solid and basic router. OpenWRT gives me too much stress.

I just left everything default and looking into other options, didn't find what you were talking about. Cudy P5 5G router is out so seriously thinking about that but I don't know much about the modem they are using, I think its a Quectel RM510. I like that the router can lock to n71 and it has ...

Hey AlteredLogic,

This thread has bounced around quite a bit. I understand that is a lot of money. What you might try to do is do some serious research on what signals are available with the carriers you have access to. As Didneywhorl suggested, its not all hardware in the end, the available ...

Well said, I originally was talking about a full refund, I don't think a full refund should be an issue but I do believe if they can't do that then there should be some sort of return, if not full then around half. Interesting, I may have to look into that, I appreciate you letting me know. Indeed ...

Excellent, do you have a link for the ssh cli commands as well as where that traditionally would be located in the WiFix firmware?

To me it's the same thing other than the being outside part. You buy a computer to do a certain task, come to find out it can't do it the way you want so you return it and yes you will be given a full refund. If you buy different parts for a computer for a build, cpu, thermal paste for the cpu, cpu ...

Didneywhorl
When you buy a $2,000 prebuilt computer from NZXT is that not the same? They have warranties and returns. Same thing if you go to a computer store and buy one from them. I'd be paying wireless haven to build it, if it doesn't work at my house I lose $1,200. That doesn't make sense to ...

Didneywhorl
Yeah my intention was to buy the 4x4 mimo panel but I wanted to shop around to make sure it was the right choice for the best gain because I don't know if I'll pick up a signal strong enough for gaming without packet loss and ping spikes. Currently dealing with that on Verizon and it's ...

Didneywhorl Thank you very much for the information. I didn't mean to put you in a bad spot I just thought you may have tested other antennas and maybe had an idea for an alternative with similar gain if I couldn't get the high beam mimo antenna. Does the equipment have a return policy if it doesn ...

Didneywhorl , Very much appreciated, still thinking about what antenna I want to go with. I wanted to get something like the high beam 2x2 mimo antenna to maximize signal gain but like you said previously its not available. Do you have any recommendations for a similar product? I know of the 2x2 ...

I want to make sure my network interfaces are set up correctly. My current WAN (USB0) mtu after testing is 1428 and its also what the router set automatically. MTU Discovery is on and so is MSS Clamping (WAN and LAN). intsy Connect software looks very similar to OpenWRT so it should be a similar ...

@Didneywhorl
That's unfortunate, I don't have the link but it was a bundle and it had a router and modem inside the 4x4 mimo enclosure for about $1,200. There was also an option to get it built by the wireless haven so I was going to just get that so everything would be set up correctly.

@Didneywhorl Do you know when the 2x2 mimo High Beam antenna will be back in stock? Also, when will the outdoor antenna enclosure bundles come back in stock?

@Didneywhorl
Okay thank you, I just wanted to ask because I've heard that if you only have the outdoors icon then you won't get service.

@Didneywhorl
Good to know thank you. I'd have to see how to do it.

I looked on this map https://maps.t-mobile.com/pcc.html?map=mvno-roamd-5 band 71 and n71 have the Outdoors icon, what does that mean?

@Esoteric Alright I might have to look into that, thank you for letting me know.

Didneywhorl
I don't remember where I saw it, what I do remember is mofi basically saying the EM9191 is the best.

Okay, I'll just pay extra for Wireless Haven to update the firmware.

I have no idea how to do any of this stuff so that tutorial would be a great help.

My house is showing the ...

@Jflex113 That's pretty neat, thank you for letting me know, I guess the Em9191 is probably the best modem to go with. Is it still having a problem with newer firmware versions so you have to use an old one?

Didneywhorl
Never heard of doing it like that, that's interesting, I previously just put my old router on IP Passthrough. I appreciate the advice thank you.

That's good to know, I guess I'll figure it out if I have to install power to the aux.

I also need to lock the modem to T-Mobile 5G n71 SA ...

Didneywhorl
Okay thank you, I'm guessing the NEXS2GO has a feature that I can use it with a Netduma R2 without causing a double NAT? I guess I'd plug it into the Netduma WAN port after I run it through the poe brick.

Alright that makes me feel better about getting one. The 5G usb adapter ...

NEXP1GOs are incoming, but maybe two weeks or so out.

Everything else should be in stock.

What would be the next best option if I didn't want to wait? I want to plug the router into a Netduma R2 without getting a double NAT

I also have a question about the 5G USB adapter enclosure burning out ...

Today, I for cat18 in place of 5G and plug and play I would go with the new LT18 router: https://thewirelesshaven.com/lt18

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZAUY5kValY

If you want to build a unit that can later be upgraded to 5G then yeah I would say the same thing with the EM160R-GL instead ...

I am also on verizon in a very fringe area. No chance for coverage from anyone BUT verizon actually. The deprioritization issue is on the verizon side and I know no way around it other then getting a different plan with more "high speed" data.

Now as far as the basics on what to do....

In my ...

A mesh router would work, just make sure the router has a different IP address, so there's no IP conflicts.

As far as the cable in a window, thats up to creativity.

Hello, I know this is a year later, hope your doing well, I ended up sticking with the mofi ha ha but now the modem port broke so ...

Check out att&t coverage. At&t post pay tablet works great for gaming.

ATT not good out here and it typically has a strict nat when gaming, I'm in a rural area so speeds aren't great and signal is weak, but yes I believe ATT does have pretty good ping times.

I'm quickly trying to figure out what else to get because my mofi is on it's last legs. I'm a competitive halo infinite player on pc and I haven't been able to play with my team for league matches because of my setup barely hanging on.

I looked through the thread, seems too much of a hassle and it doesn't seem very clear either. I appreciate you trying to help and I guess I'll never know if there is a problem or not. This is what I found, I don't want to install a different firmware either https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f ...

Hello Didneywhorl, I have no idea how to bring that up and run that, I have the mofi firmware and I didn't find an area where I can type that command in.

Hello all, I was looking at my mofi 4500 status page and saw some rather large numbers and I just wanted to check and see with you all if there is an issue with the device or maybe the yagi mimo antenna outside or the LMR400 cables. My latest speed test is 41ms ping 16.74mbps Down and 1.50mbps Up ...

Dr-BroadBand, thank you for your response, I'm not talking about a usb cable, I was talking about a ethernet cable.

Thank you Didneywhorl, I appreciate all the help and advice, I will see what I can do, have a good day and be safe.

Thank you Didneywhorl again and everyone else in the post helping, it's all good lol, yeah I don't see myself needing the IMEI thing, Unite! :lol: Okay I do have a eero would that work? Also, I need to run the ethernet cable through my window and close it so would that be okay or would I need some ...

Thank you to everyone else too and I hope everyone has a great day.

Thank you Didneywhorl, yeah I was going to run the usb modem inside with a 10ft usb extension cable but if you think the WG3526-P would be okay and better outside in the The Wireless Haven enclosure that's cool too.
