Wireless Joint

Do you have any pics of how you modified this? do you have a link where to buy the copper slugs or the heat sink you put on the other side. I found mine was running quite hot today, not sure if there was some problem since I wasnt really doing much on the net.

heatsink can be purchased here ...

We have a DualQ H721 router running GoldendOrb 2022-09-28 firmware with a Quectel RM502q-AE modem.

Right now we have a Visible+ plan and we are getting a pretty good 150/80 Mbps. Although, when we put the Visible+ SIM into a smartphone (Pixel 7 Pro), I notice that we are within range of an ultra ...

i encapsulated each of the antenna wires in the faraday tape. yes, the metal case was grounded to my server rack

Can you send me or post any links to the fan you used and the faraday tape. Thanks in advance.

heres the link to the fan i used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071JB9WYB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If i use alot of data quickly, say 3 streams going at once, my internet will stop but would still say its connected.

what about like speedtest.net which maxes out your connection bandwidth?

thanks. hmmm, so sounds like maybe this issue is not present with the em9191 then?

I've found that QMI doesn't do well for me on Verizon nor T-mobile. I just default to MBIM for everything now.

Same here, Its becasue the QMI interface does not support 464xlat networking.

I didn't know that. Are joo chure?

if that is true, it would explain why NSA and SA modes dont ...

by any chance, is the VPN connection using the UDP protocol, vs the TCP protocol? i have a sneaking suspicion that if you switched to TCP, the thermal stress would go away.

I have an em9191 with t-mobile. I would randomly have issues with random disconnections. I updated the modem to the latest and now i just have my router reset every morning before i get up. From time to time ill just reset the modem and not the router.

Thanks. im curious if you could run a ...

Heres what i found for that:

CME ERROR 10 is returned by the modem when it does not detect a SIM card.

I had the same issue with tmobile throttling only video sites and constant buffering about a year ago, but speed test showed full speed - only sites like youtube with video were getting throttled. i found this setting in the tmobile app and turned it on (it was off by default). fixed the problem for ...

another thing i might add: type N connectors are not fully waterproof (even if they say they are), especially up here in seattle as it rains all the time. i have opened up my unprotected type N connectors to find a sizable amount of moisture in them, which can significantly reduce your signal over ...

SINR testing results:

Metal lid on, no faraday tape on ant cables: SINR -4 to -12 dB
Metal lid off, no faraday tape on ant cables: SINR 2 to 4 dB
Plastic lid on, no faraday tape on ant cables: SINR 2 to 4 dB
Plastic lid on, with faraday tape on ant cables: SINR 4 to 8 dB

Also modem temps ...

Can anyone with a sierra em9191 and T-Mobile confirm Whether they have random disconnections in 2022? I might actually just buy one to give it a try. After like a week of having it work and not disconnecting after I got my external modem enclosure, the problem is back again

Just the internet, wifi stays up and the modem tells me it's connected but the connection monitor tells me "DOWN". When I say rebooting it I'm just doing the modem, 'at+cfun=1,1'. I had this same problem with an em7565 and switched to visible because of it but visible is way to slow.

And yes it ...

So, i created a 3D printer .STL file to replicate the lid for the modem enclosure. I added a spot on the top for me to mount a 40mm fan as well to cool the modem. Here is the .STL file if anyone wants to make use of this. Will test the SINR later with and without the faraday tape as well, but ive ...

A little update, I've just had to reboot the modem twice tonight using a WE1326 and an external enclosure. Odd how it worked fine for almost a week with no issues now I'm getting the same problem. I'm gonna completely disable the wifi on it and see if it happens again.

So when you had to reboot ...

I ordered a used Linksys 1900ACS with the Modem USB 3.0 housing mentioned earlier in this post in one of the links. I am going to Install the firmware from Rooter on the Linksys and then tether the modem, which will be installed in that USB3.0 to NGFF M.2 Key B 4G 5G Modem Adapter Enclosure with ...

So, i recently switched from the ZBT WG1608 router with Quectel RM502Q-AE to a Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 flashed with OpenWrt GoldenOrb and using the https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/mini-pcie-m2-adapters/modem-enclosure/usb3-m2-4g-5g-modem-adapter-v7/ plugged in via USB, in order to solve a weird issue ...

Update on this. i have fixed the issue and discovered the root cause via the Quectel forums: https://forums.quectel.com/t/rm502q-ae-t-mobile-loss-of-internet-but-modem-is-saying-connected/18377

This router [wg1608] specially versions “V1 and V2” boards have WiFi problems on 5.8G when you install a ...

also, if you run a "Scan to Find Bands Available in Area" using the gui below it will list those values for you with each band's signal strength

so, its not technically possible to specify which band gets used as the primary band (upload and download) vs the carrier aggregation bands (only download), but ive figured out a neat trick to make it work.

lock the modem to the primary band, but dont specify a second band to lock to. the modem ...

Yeah, magenta max is their top tier phone plan with unlimited everything. the steps i took to set it up was to sign up on tmobile's website for just a sim card and the magenta max plan. oh, also i set the TTL in the router to be at 65, so tmobile doesnt detect it as a hotspot. hotspot data isnt ...

That is a usable upload speed. Allot of cable company internet service uploads are not much more than that.

True, its definitely usable now. was hoping to get it up to like 10 though. cant really use it for things like uploading streaming video yet. Also, i dont mind spending more money or time ...

Thanks :)

Final speed test result at 3am. not sure what else i can do to improve this. the download speed has improved the most though lol. wish there was some way to turn up the transmit power of the modem or something. oh and i tried the amplifiers again now with the new bulkhead connectors, and ...

Offer larger than 1.13mm ?

yes please

. 1.37mm low loss RF cabling as an option for the SMA to MHF4 pigtail bulkhead connectors would be AWESOME!
https://www.data-alliance.net/blog/137m ... onnectors/

Update: just got my new 1.13mm MHF4 antenna pigtails to SMA bulkhead connector to replace the 0.81mm ones that come with the wg1608. HUUUUUUGE improvement in the RSRP for both the main and diversity antennas on each pair AND fixed the issue where one of each pair was getting a significantly worse ...

Hi, i have a WG1608 i purchased from thewirelesshaven, and a quectel rm502q-ae with the copper heatsink. Im trying to deal with an issue where the modem will get a speed of like 80mbps down within the first 10-20 mins of being on, and then after that it goes down and stays down at like 30-40mbps ...

One thing ive noticed is that when its raining, the rain affects the upstream connection significantly more than the downstream connection. my downstream connection is hardly affected, but the upstream dropped in half or more.

Just got the 10ft LMR 400 cables. Thanks @thewirelesshaven :) . heres ...

So, the LMR 400 cables are arriving tomorrow. hopefully that will further improve the upload.

Does anyone know what the Upstream equivalent of CQI is? like CQI is an index based on RSRP and SINR that determines whether the downstream will use QPSK or 16QAM 64QAM and the symbol rate etc, and the ...

So i have an RM502Q-AE with Tmobile magenta max in a wg1608. currently i get about 60-80mbps down. however, this speed is only right after ive turned the modem on. after about 10 or 20 mins later, sometimes longer like an hour, i run a speedtest again, and only get like 30 or 40 down. after any ...

This issue also happens to me on tmobile magenta max with the same modem. ive setup an automatic reboot at 2am and also a connection check with router reboot if ping goes away. it happens sometimes sporadically through the day too, or when i visit certain things. one thing i know for certain ...

Ive finished micro adjusting the antennas now.

For b2 which is what im using as my primary band now, im getting:

CSQ: 14,
Signal Strength: 54%,
RSSI: -82dbm,
RSRQ: -14db,
RSRP: -106dbm, -110dbm (2x2 grid parabolic antenna) and -117 dBm, -127dBm (2x2 panel antenna)
SINR: between 2-4db

One thing I’ve noticed about the grid parabolic mimo antenna is that 1 antenna gets really good rsrp and the other gets about 5db less rsrp. Is that something wrong with the antenna? Is that simply a normal result of antenna cross polarization, such that the second antenna normally gets worse ...

So, i got the grid parabolic 2x2 mimo antenna in today. its raining outside, so i dont really feel like todays results are the best case scenario, and also i did a rush job in terms of mounting and aligning the antenna. ive also got a 2x2 10dbi panel antenna for the second set of antennas coming out ...

It wasn’t all bad though. I did get some epic pictures of an old train bridge on the way

Welp, just got back from my visit to the tower. Wasn’t very successful unfortunately. I got about as close as I could to the tower - about 1 mile away and I could even see the tower with my eyes, but for whatever reason, I got worse signal with the paddle antennas. I had about a -91 rssi and -4 sinr ...

for band 2? If it is like -112 or worse that is your issue.
I always got best upload on band 2 with the 20 MHz of data on it. Always needed like a signal strength of -106 or better.

Out of curiosity what were download speeds and upload speeds like on b2 for you when you had signal worse ...

Already have it disabled, as i needed ipv4 only in order to play Battlefield 4 properly

Yes that is what I mean. Paddle antennas will do just fine if you take to the tower. You are basically cutting out all of the variables that are based on signal strength and noise. If you are close to the tower and in general line of site then you don't have to worry about signal strengths, you ...

Hi, so ive been using Tmobile magenta max LTE internet for the last year or so and im trying to tweak things to get better upload right now. Currently i get about 50-80mbps down but 0.5-3.0mbps up using speedtest.net or fast.com. Here is my current setup:
