Wireless Joint

however when i try:

AT+QCFG="band",0,9 for Band 3+3+28

it doesnt work. i only get band 1 alone.

I found that default settings for the band is:
AT+QCFG="band",5af0,2000001e0bb1e39df

Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Do you know how to set which band as primary?

How did you get to combine ...

You could also tether from your tablet but you still need to change TTL on the router otherwise after 15GB of hotspot use it goes down to 600Kbps. If you are able to change the TTL then it's unlimited non-throttled use unless the tower is congested during peak times.

Yeah buy the cheapest LTE ipad/tablet you can find that works for Verizon then just add a tablet line if you are on Verizon postpaid. As for your Netgear wireless router, you probably need to flash to custom OpenWRT or DD-WRT in order to modify the TTL to bypass hotspot detection if you want to save ...

I see the WE826 is about half the price of the WG3526, what is the difference?

Noticeable details:
WE826 - 100Mbps port speed - WiFi is just ok.
WE3526 - 1000Mbps port speed - Better WiFi, not the greatest.

Do you happen to have a router other than the Netgear laying around? You don't have to ...

Drill holes. Modify it.

Not necessarily. It has to do with how many devices you're behind. You just need to increase it to 66 or make custom firewall rules to do so if there isn't an option like GoldenOrb. I set mine to 67 before I could get my end user pc to ping router to get a TTL reply of 65. A TTL reply of 65 is known ...

You might've bricked your router during firmware update is what I think.

I can answer about TTL. On the OMR's firewall page, there is a custom rules tab that you could enter the TTL settings like you normally would. You just need to reference to the correct interface from each WAN connection.

ok, changed the network card from auto to manual and used the ip's from above.
that gave me the correct info doing an ipconfig but CBA850 still would not connect and open the u.i. without doing a factory reset. i was then able to login to the u.i. but in less than a minute it disconnected and lost ...

You could manually set the address to see if it would let you access it. IP: 192.168.0.5 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.10.5 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.10.1

As for the lights, it should be in the CP manual. Look it up for your model.

Does that TTL also apply to ipv6? Maybe increase it to TTL 65 or even 66 to test usage.

What VPS provider did you go with that its ips are not being blacklisted yet for streaming from Netflix? Could your excessive data be LAN instead of WAN data which doesn't matter? Mine uses very limited data on idle but I'm on the previous version and I haven't updated yet. Most of settings are at ...

I don't have another wifi device it works in my unlocked Moto g5 phone.

Your need a hotspot to test. Any cheap compatible one to make sure your sim works because that's what you are having trouble with the M1 or you could try to enable hotspot from your phone and see your other devices could ...

Cradlepoint uses the modem in the usb enclosure so yes you can take that enclosure out and put in it your router to test. Since you fail to get a valid ip address from the CP, have you tried the second LAN port which is set for passthrough?

Ignore the message. It's fine because you are manually setting the IP for your router instead of having OMR dishing out. You could also set TTL in the firewall's custom rules just like you would before in other LTE routers with OpenWRT. You just need to reference the correct interface for each rule.

The 600Kbps is usually a sign that your data is being detected as hotspot data. If you put your Verizon's sim back into the phone and it doesn't throttle to 600Kbps then you know it is caused by hotspot detection.

Try to switch DNS provider instead of using the ones from your ISP. Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 or Google 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 will work.

Buy the cheapest AT&T compatible LTE ipad, go with AT&T's postpaid tablet plan then put sim in your device for home connection. Set TTL to 65 for extra measure to hide hotspot usage but it's not needed for now. You could also use the ipad to tether to a router if it's fast enough for home internet ...

It's sufficient if the tower is not congested. It's really bad if it is congested because band 25 is its main band. The congested tower that I have my friend connected via 25 or 26 is unusable. Thankfully 3CA B41 makes a big difference.

Sounds like you need to have a hotspot bypass in place which has to do with TTL. Search for it on the forums.

Have you tried to use the reboot function from the router's page to see if it helps to apply the new APN? Also, you could access its console to use AT commands and set APN via AT+CGDCONT manually and test it out. https://mt-tech.fi/en/enable-manual-ban ... ar-mr1100/

I would get the WE826 and save the money since you don't need the WG3526 for gigabit port.

I don't see why not.

WG3526's wifi is better than WE826 with good support. WG1608 has best wifi but 5Ghz is not working properly until patched. They all support the usb port for phone tethering.

I don't see how it would make your modem lose connection as it just does periodic ping command to make sure it gets a reply from the ip you set and without it you won't get to reconnect or reboot the router automatically. If anything it actually tries to keep your connection alive without getting ...

I was getting 35-40 Mbps down with the Verizon card. I thought my problem was solved. That was until I hit my "unlimited" data cap and got throttled down to .6 Mbps.

As far as speeds, latency and streaming:

Thanks for all the help and guidance and others on the sites who have unknowingly contributed. Here's the custom rules:

That's awesome! Thanks for the update.

Still worth a try with a phone sim on an always de-prioritized plan (Verizon Prepaid, Verizon Postpaid Starter, or Visible) and mobile phone instead of testing with Jetpack during congested hours then you will know whether it's the jetpack plan or the tower causing slow down.

That sounds like the Jetpack which is a hotspot device has a hard LTE limit not unlimited unlike the postpaid phone plans & tablet plan so it throttles down to useless speeds except for surfing. Try with a phone sim in a phone instead without using the Jetpack. I don't see how you would get de ...

Anyone have experience how much you get de-prioritized on these post pay tablet plans?
Have an uncle on grandfathered prepay Verizon unlimited mifi jetpack plan and it is de-prioritized badly at night. To the point can't watch tv with it.

It is tower dependent. I don't get de-prioritized at all ...

Oomps wrote: Sun Sep 13, 2020 3:40 am Well...Yipzy was correct.

I had experienced it first hand.

If you have the option to easily switch to tablet line route, I would suggest you do that instead of going to Visible (streaming quality @ 480p) vs 1080p for tablet line without using a private proxy or vpn.

That's a slick way to word it and dropping those hints

Maybe some of the users will figure it out. Anyway, if you don't care about higher latency. You could always give Visible with party pay ($25) a try since you are talking about Verizon. It's a hit or miss but no hard cap.

Yes. I used 2 different sets of antennas before.

If it's supported through ROOTer then it is. Otherwise, you would have to be the guinea pig for it and ask for modem support via https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3vx1k1r3?p=700

Yes look up qmi-firmware-update. I don't think it comes with ROOter firmware though. Try it and see.

Yes. You can use the S8 to tether. Certain plans will not allow hotspot so you have to make sure it at least allows hotspot so you could set the TTL to bypass it. If hotspot is not allowed, ie USB tethering is grayed out/disabled on your phone when sim is inserted, you might need to root the phone ...

Also, change the channel number to a different one and restart everytime. I had a lot of trouble with getting a 5Ghz channel number to stick and broadcast the wifi ID.

You are going to have a bad time with Cradlepoint due to the way they have the Sierra Wireless modems set up. It will switch to Sprint firmware automatically and so far no one has figured out how to disable that in order for your Calyx sim to work on generic firmware. Search on the forums. Many ...

I'm not sure but it's not a phone sim. Phone sim isn't compatible with MC7455. Tablet line sim tends to work. Search around the forums.

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on getting this Verizon tablet plan? Have some people that might want to try it out. What plan is it? What is the settings to get it to work on a MC7455? Know they have Verizon phone service now.

I got an EC25-AF but I'm using it on a laptop in Windows 10. Even if it won't do CA it connects at 150 Mb and is still plenty fast although I don't think there is any way to tell what band it's using. Where I can get T-Mo B71 on a phone it's just as weak and slow as the other bands and turned out ...

I would imagine so if others didn't have problem with it. It's also the reason you are leaking hotspot data.

BigMac79 wrote: Tue Sep 08, 2020 4:34 pm Do you still think I need to reflash with another version given there are no errors?

Has the TTL respond with different number other than 64 after reboot?

Just for my learning, you can not just retype in the custom settings for the iptables with the correct configuration? I was the one that typed in the one's that are shown in the Custom Rules section.

Your custom settings are right. It's the iptables applying the settings. If you are feeling ...
