The InvisaGig fast 5G modem has a simple way to lock to cell tower cells, and when the scans can't find the cell you know exists, you can manually set it too. Watch the video for a full tutorial.

What carrier?

Just purchased the NEXPRO V2 from the link above. Is there any information I need to be gathering while I'm waiting on the device to help speed up the process?

Thanks

All you need is the IMEI from the device the SIM is intended for, we copy that to the modem in the router, and the rest is ...

Nope, it'll still work.

ATT does restrict access to 5G bands based on that, but there are simple ways around that.

Very little setup per carrier, and full support including one on one support.

Understood. So you are looking for a new hotspot device or similar that is wifi, router, and modem all in one, correct?

Hey there! I typically cover emails at Wireless Haven, which email did you use? I tested the contacts and all went through for me in incognito sent tests.

Yes, but you didn't mention the CMGF command, that was all I was saying. the CMGF=1 always seems to be required before running the other.

I don't mess with sms on modems much, and that is the limit of what I've done

I usually run:

AT+CMGF=1

then

AT+CMGL="ALL"

To ensure it's using memory on device/modem to store: AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME"

This one jumps out at me. The USB ID of each should be the same. 1199 is Sierra, but the PID of the EM7411 I don't think should be either 9090 or 9091

Not if you can still see it on the USB bus. Are they both EM7411s?

I would go with Tmobile Home Internet plans if you have decent enough Tmobile.

For the modem and antenna, I prefer the modem inside the antenna route, like InvisaGig with Quadlink or the Elsys Amplimax Ultra. Then feed that back into your place to a TP-Link Archer or Omada router or something like ...

You'll need to copy QFirehose into your /bin or /sbin dir, if it is not already there.

It'll have to be compiled for your router chipset, most likely.

I've never seen this. Either the card already has an inherent issue, or you are issuing a command to reboot it? OR your router has a watchdog feature that is rebooting the modem in an attempt to get online. You'll need to disable that annoying bit of software.

Use Google Gemini, or similar service, to find at least a relatively close list pretty quickly: https://g.co/gemini/share/58834f80b096

openWRT / Linux

Should work fine just swapping to a 5G device/IMEI.

I don't think eSIM will be forced in totality for a while yet.

@Dssemulator Ask about it here: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/ ... =-1#bottom

Moving the SIM to another device, has been done by myself and many many others for years with Calyx. They just can't support or warrant the new device is the real reason they don't want you to move it, no other reason that has any merit.

It's a thing ATT does as a management protocol on the tower. You cannot overcome this, the tower is disabling it after an arbitrary timeframe on any connection that is constant. Verizon has also done it. Any form of disconnect/reconnect fixes it. You don't have to reboot the modem, only force a ...

It depends on where it is coming from. I find that if the higher frequency bands have decent enough signal strength that modems will prefer them over a stronger signal lower frequency band.

Depending on the modem, you can cell lock it to always use n71 when it is seen by the modem. (different than ...

RSRP is low, you'll want to get that under 99, preferably as close to -65 as possible. -65 RSRP means your sitting on the cell tower, pretty much.

Better antennas is going to likely be the key here, as the modem is struggling to communicate BACK to the tower, way worse than it is struggle to "Hear ...

Need to know the carrier and plan you are on as well as your signal metrics when you are having the issues:

AT commands:

AT+QRSRP

AT+QSINR

AT+QENG="servingcell"

A simple firmware update reflash, without saving settings. MAybe flash 3x in a row, will generally fix most odd issues that pop up on these type routers with flash memory.

Typically those modems aren't carrier locked, but usually a simple firmware flash can clear any special settings or custom firmware restrictions.

2024 Resurrection Update:
So its kinda crazy that in hindsight I never needed an external antenna .

The latest versions should have it on the band locking page : Modem -> Miscellaneous page.

Yeah, the spreadsheet was made a long while back. It works as is, just has old messages like that. New modems don't need it anymore so it became kind of low priority to change or update for the creator.

Have you reflashed the firmware without saving settings? You can also try installing NEXP1GO firmware, I have seen the NEXP1GO or WG3526 firmware work well. They are technically the exact same router by chipsets. The firmware should be identical. If you need the NEXP1GO firmware, reach out to the ...

Can you time the reboot? How long does it give until reboot?

It handles TTL and HL itself

How exactly do you have it installed? If its anywhere close to a wall (behind it) and if there is limited clearing in front, this may be your issue. Also, if you are running the cables, and installing the antenna itself, anywhere near A/C electrical wires of any time or near a transformer, air fan ...

Is there a debug type logged or live output of what it's running and what fails?

Nvidia Now is a cloud gaming service right?

All carriers seem to be doing an all out war on VPN use on cell data. It's odd as heck.

Have you tested it ok outside of the VPN use, or tried a simpler proxy, or just used TCP only on the VPN?

Gaming services and VPNs use UDP traffic heavily, and that is seemingly what is getting messed with.

Understood. You want to self build, support, and warrant.

Pretty much what the cost of the InvisaGig is.

They have rj45 modem sleds on alibaba that you drop your own 5G modem into, or buy theirs, and use AT commands or opensource code to give it a web interface for sending at commands.

That's not to bad, but a bit more than I want to spend. Big worry is, will it work with the ATT Mobley plan, I really don't want to have to use something else, as it's been rock solid for years and years with me, and I usually use around 1TB a month.

Great work as usual! Make sure to give him a follow and like!

Ts9 to sma, yes. I would never use any rf cable splitters or "Y cables" as it just shorts your antenna ports together; bad.

As long as you have the specs on the ports as to which are the primary pair, you can use those two for the outdoor antenna.

Why not load in the mbim drivers and let modemmanager run the modem in it's current mbim config?

Otherwise at+qcfg="usbnet",0 should do it to convert it to qmi.

R3?

R4 only has 4 LAN ports and the power is next to the ETH ports on the right, not the left.

Hard to say. It's not really jumping out at me.

Might need a reflash and factory reset, maybe update in firmware, but it might just be failing .. maybe.

That is interesting!

I usually revert to using the usb ttyl / UART serial pins to see what's happening in the bootup phase. You will want to use the 16M firmware images, very unlikely you have a 32M version, and even then the 16M version will work.

Correct. It's still in engineering samples stage. No FCC approval yet. It should be fine, and seems to work well, just not technically done "cooking" yet.

The Black/Yellow one is Qualcomm based and requires a different firmware. I'm not sure it was made by Rooter.

Yeah Alfredo was quick on it. It's an easy swap in for any router that supports the RM520. Good for anyone wanting to get in early. In fact it's using the same pid. Engineering samples can be odd.
