Looks good. Any ideas on getting the EM7565 working well with the WG3526 LTE CAT6? Would your custom ROOTer translate well over to it?

[Jflex113]

The Em7565 is m.2 not mPcie, so unless there is a version of tbe wg3526 that comes with m.2 there would be no way to set this modem up in that router. Another thing is the em7565 is cat 12 if you are just looking for cat 6 the mc7455 is perfect for that.

The EM7565 can only be used in the WG3526 by using a Mini PCI-E to M.2 adapter.

Is there enough room to fit it all inside of that router?

There is. It is a little tricky to get the screws into place, and figure out which one should go where first, but it will work.

Oh an I forgot to answer you question on would the custom ROOter work, yes it would it would just have to made for that router which can be done.

I'm planning on the same build, do you have any pointers?

I forgot to ask how did you connect the EM7565 to the router?

You will need a USB2.0 or USB3.0 to M.2 External Enclosure

I used a usb y cable to micro usb to connect to a m.2 usb 2.0 enclosure and ran rooter firmware on the wrt3200acm and that works well
