Wireless Joint

Looking for a long range cellular trail camera antenna. Ant suggestions?

Does anyone know how to flash GoldenOrb software to a Turris Omnia? Everything I have looked up is very confusing to the point that I have no idea what to do.
Curious as to why The Wireless Joint quit selling these. Too much money for the router you get?

I have been trying to update the Golden Orb (Rooter) firmware on my routers. No problem with my TP-Link A7 and GLInet 1300. When updating my Linksys WRT3200ACM and Miktotik GR750 I was unsuccessful. Neither one of those will work anymore. I can't even access them at all. What did I do wrong? I am ...

I have several routers that have ROOTER on them. How can I convert one to be an access point?

Looking for suggestions for a wired router. Why aren't many available?

I have a RM520N but haven't tried it yet.

Then the other to L1 and L3.
With your big speed difference. Check and see if on same bands

My modem is marked: 0 1 2 3

The gateway is always on B2 or B66 LTE and n41 5G.
The speed difference seems to have leveled out to 200+ all the time.
Will try those antenna connections

I have 2x2 panels from WH. One straight up and one at 45 degrees. Still not sure which lead goes to which antenna. I have moved them around a few times but didn't see any noticeable difference.
On another note, TMHI speeds are 15-20 Down in the early morning. At night and early evening 220-240 Down ...

Does it matter how the antennas are connected? Also, do you think a RM520 modem would perform better than the RM502?

I moved the TMHI sim to a RM502Q-AE modem with Mikrotic RB750Gr3 router combo to see how it performed. So far good. No faster than the ARC unit but time will tell. The only problem is I can't access the router. It's running Rooter and worked at first, but not now.

Thanks for the report. When I get some time I may try this also just to see whet happens.

After looking inside, they seem to be very cheaply made.

I can't really complain since TMHI has done well and continues to do well and has been reliable. Don't know if or when I may try this. Just wanted to know what I needed to do.
Still have TMHI, 100GB/$55 ATT Hotspot Plan, 2 ATT tablet plans, and also Starlink that I swap around. At $255/month for ...

I also have had to modify the THMI unit for outside antennas. Not crazy about this but that's the only way I can get results from anything.

Hello,
Just wondering what is making you try this?

I just would like to try my Quectel RM502-Q modem and see if it may get better results

What APN and TTL values do I use if I move TMHI sim to another router?

I still use this router with a Quectel RM502Q-AE modem in an external enclosure and ATT tablet plan. This is probably the most reliable setup I have. Not real fast but very reliable. Thinking about trying the sim from my TMobil Home Internet. What APN and TTL?

All good advice. I ended up chasing everything. Now I have Starlink, T-Mob Home Internet (With outside 4x4 antenna hacks), 2 ATT tablet plans, and an ATT hotspot plan.
Sure, it's redundant but what the heck. There is always something that works!!

I finally have Rooter flashed on this router. I never was able to do it so one of the Rooter Forum regulars offered to do it for me. This thing works great. Now have it paired up with a Quectel EP06-A modem in a USB enclosure and so far has been very reliable.

Yes, I thought I would flash software. Probably work best for me with a modem in your USB3 external enclosure?

Is this a rare bird?

Anyone know much about a Turris Omnia router? I just scored one on Woot for $150. I would have never paid $395 for one but thought it may be a good router for cheap.

The modem in your router is really pretty good. I have the same router and modem. I am just guessing, but I think outside antennas would be a bigger help than anything else.
One thing that helped my WG1608 router is I flashed it with the newest Rooter firmware. That made a world of difference in ...

I have had great luck with the 2 DW 5821E modems that I bought, but I think it may be a crap shoot. Neither will work inside a router but both work fine inside a USB3 external enclosure from Wireless Haven. I don't even know what firmware they are using, just change their identity and they go. Mine ...

I have 2 of these modems, both are in USB3 enclosures. I couldn't get them to connect when mounted in a router but work fantastic in USB enclosures. What a great, fast modem for $60. Been using 1 for several months, so I thought I would get another. I hear they must be version PH6K2

They are only connected through a multi WAN router TPLink ER605 to my desktop. Other than that, everyone else in the family connects wirelessly to one of them. Haven't noticed any problems like things are. Still figuring out settings on the ER605
BTW I really don't know anything about networking.

I know this may be a simple question but I now have 3 routers at the same IP address (192.168.1.1) Should I change 2 of them to another address? If so, how do I do that in Rooter?

Can anyone tell me the procedure to install Rooter on my Raspberry Pi 4? I am pretty confused.

I have been using the archer A7 Router with Quectel EM160R-GL modem in a USB3 enclosure and 2-2x2 antennas from Wireless Haven with ATT tablet plan for well over a month now. It lost connection one time several weeks ago and I had to restart it. Been what I would call a rock solid setup.

Paying attention to this thread.

No, I have already tried many times with no success. I am looking for someone I can pay to do it for me.

Can you flash Rooter software on a Mikrotik RB750Gr3?

Is there a new firmware for the NEXR5GO router. It now has GoldenOrb 2021-03-09. I really have never been thrilled with the response on that router and was wondering if there is a firmware upgrade. I didn't see anything at Of Modems and Men.

Define "response on that router"

Every action is ...

Anyone here familiar with this router?

I never could get the WG1608 I bought from China to work properly with Rooter. Probably some setting was wrong that I didn't find. Yesterday after reflashing with Rooter 2022-01-20 it fixed it and now works fine. Don't know what the difference is but I like it!

Gave up on this for now. Too complicated for me to flash with Rooter. Maybe some day I will try again.

As far as the modem goes, I really didn't have to do anything. Changed it's "handle" and it started working.

Starting another setup. Will be using an RB750Gr3 router and a Dell DW5821e modem in a Wireless Haven USB3 enclosure. Wish me luck.

Did anyone mention whether the Mikrotik RB750Gr3 is equipped with USB2 or a USB3 port?

I am pretty sure it is a USB2 port.

I posted this same question on the Rooter Forum and one suggestion was a Mikrotik RB750Gr3 router. Since I have most of my modems in separate USB enclosures (I like the flexibility) I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon for $57. Will flash with Rooter and give it a try.

Is there such a thing as a Gigabyte Ethernet only router without Wifi that will run Rooter and accommodate a modem? I know I can turn off the Wifi somehow on all routers.

Seems like when little traffic I will get something like -95, -92, -140, -140

When I run AT+QRSRP I get numbers like -92, -92, -96, -88
What exactly does that tell me? Is this considered antenna signal?

Thanks, I finally got this modem working again. It won't work in a router but works fine in a separate enclosure. Pretty fast and darn close performance to the EM160-GL I am also using.
Thanks

There doesn't seem to be much info available about this modem. Not much AT commands, etc. Does anyone know if there is an AT command to lock into 2x2 mimo?

Once I finally got all the usual settings in place, this modem works well. Only using 2x2 MIMO right now. Pretty darn fast with no interruptions in service. A heck of a modem for $70 to keep as a spare.
Still looking for a complete list of AT commands.

I forgot about this post. I just bought one of these modems. Thanks for the info.

So, now I have 3 separate antenna setups that give me plenty of flexibility to play with. (I gotta quit spending money!)
1) A pair of Wireless Haven X2 15dba 2x2 panel antennas on a rotator 25' up
2) A pair of Wireless Haven YAGI Radome directional antennas on a rotator 25' up
3) One single wavefarm ...

Now using my Archer A7 router with EM160R-GL modem. Have ATT Unlimited Tablet, ATT 100gb/$55, and T-Mob 50gb/$50 plans. What should TTL be set on each one?

Finally upgraded the firmware to the Beta on my old Windows 7 mini laptop after explicit instructions from the Facebook Hacks and getting (110dn 28up). Now to see how reliable it is.
Actually the EPO6-A has been pretty good for me (82dn 15up).

I tried Windows 10 also. I have an old "Mini-Laptop" with Windows 7 starter on it. Would that possibly work?
I really need to find someone to do it for me. Are there reliable people who do that?

Tried it 4 times today and it won't even install the modem as a device. I give up. Maybe it will fix itself.
The speeds are great but it is so damn unreliable. Must have gotten a lemon.

Even after reading over several times, I don't fully understand how to do this. Is Windows 8 OK?

Since I am still having problems with getting internet, I thought I would flash the firmware. Can I flash it with the modem in the enclosure through the USB cable to a windows computer?

Now using a pair of The Wireless Haven Yagi Radomes with a wavefarm 2x2 panel with 20' cables on my Quectel EM160R modem. So far pretty good and stable on ATT tab plan. Streamed all afternoon. Wow, even got speeds on 105/34. Best ever.

Is there such thing as a "Best" router on the market?

Is anyone using Connection Monitoring in Rooter? I am trying it out with a 10 min interval.

I know the A7 router has gigabyte ethernet ports, but is the WIFI performance better than my WE826 and NEXR5GO??

Took the Archer A7 router and EM-7455 modem to work so I wouldn't need outside antennas to get a decent signal. T-Mob data sim, Set APN, TTL to 65 and it connected right up. I wish it was always this easy.

back on this project. Put Rooter on the new A7 router. Will take to work and see if I can get things going.

Does it hurt anything?

Does $20 ATT need TTL? Mine is on 65 and seems to work fine.

Just got this $20 tablet plan yesterday. I also have a $55/100GB AT&T plan. Besides the amount of data, are there any differences?

Still playing with 2x2 antennas. Paired a Wilson Yagi with a The Wireless Haven Yagi Radome. Moved the mast up and over to get farther away from trees. Holy crap, with just a quickie aim job speeds of 70dn and 12up. Best ever for T-Mobile. May even be better when my other The Wireless Haven antenna ...

I also got tired of Visible. Great numbers in the morning and 5 or less down the rest of the day. I think it is very location dependent but if anyone can help, it is these guys. Smart folks on this forum.
Having much better luck with AT&T and T-Mobile

I really haven't made any changes but for some reason my AT&T connection seems to be working fine. Haven't had to reset or anything.

I have a Wireless Haven X2 on my other setup and it does well. Trying to make up a backup setup now.

How would the wavefarm 600-2700 2x2 Panel compare to a pair of The Wireless Haven 600-6600 Yagi Radome antennas?

Is the EM160 installed in a USB3 enclosure as good as if it is installed directly in a router?

I added another 2x2 mimo antenna. How can I tell if my modem is in 4x4 mimo?

The only bands on that tower are 2,12,66,71
Usually CA 2,12,66 but a speed test doesn't seem to be any better than 1 band

32-35Dn 2-4Up.

Just got my EM160R modem. Put it in a USB3 box from The Wireless Haven, plugged it in to a WE826 I already had, T-Mobile sim. Using 2x2 mimo antennas for now. Started right up after making a couple of changes and disabling 4x4. In testing I get 3CA every now and then but same speeds as EM7455 I was ...
