I have re-flashed to the latest firmware provided above, and ping is working now.
funnily enough ping is working under IPV6, but when i went the additional steps and disabled IPV6, ping no longer worked on IPV4. perhaps the reason it wasnt working before i updated the firmware was that i wasnt getting an IPV6 but was only getting an IPV4.
Still not sure why ping doesnt work under IPV4 though. trying to ping an IPV4 address like 8.8.8.8 still doesnt work even with IPV6 and IPV4 enabled together. only domain name or IPV6 pings work now
As a side note, after re-flashing, every time i navigate to the Network > interfaces page after rebooting, i get the message about upgrading the ifname config, even though ive hit continue and done the config upgrade already. not sure if that means that the ifname config upgrade hasnt stuck, or its just a bug or what.
Which cell carrier?iceburglar wrote: Sun Sep 19, 2021 2:12 am Having same type of issue with my WG1608 ( flashed to wifix GoldenOrb_2021-09-13 ) and Quectel RM502Q-AE ( just purchased with flash to latest firmware ). Was quite happy that both my upload and download roughly doubled using the same antenna setup, compared to my WE826 & Telit LM960.
Web browsing and netflix work nicely but I can't play online games. Games can not connect to or load server lists ( Team Fortress 2, COD Mobile in Gameloop ). Using command prompt in windows I can not get a response to pinging 8.8.8.8 or other addresses but i DO get response issuing pings from within rooter.. Discord voice chat not functional, goes back and forth between "No Route", "Connecting", "Authenticating", "RTC Connecting".
Trying to decide where to go from here, I need everything to work. Are windows drivers available for quectel cards and I can try it in USB sled? I don't see how this is purely a carrier issue when pings succeed issued from the router but not from the PC, to me that sounds like a router issue
T-Mobile ( postpay, One Plus International ). I have a 5G provisioned SIM for the ATT $20 postpay tablet plan on the way to try soon.
Let us know if you actually end up getting a 5G signal or connection with your new sim. As far as I know there are only a few of ATT's plans that are 5G enabled and pretty sure the popular postpay $20 tablet plan isn't one of them. If this is the case, i'm gonna have to do some research on it as I never could get it to connect to 5G unless on their top prepay plan.iceburglar wrote: Sun Sep 19, 2021 3:18 pm T-Mobile ( postpay, One Plus International ).

I'll post my results. I ordered a 5G tablet at the same time I requested the plan, this is how the plan details are shown on their site;mtl26637 wrote: Sun Sep 19, 2021 3:31 pm Let us know if you actually end up getting a 5G signal or connection with your new sim.

Hi Didney,Didneywhorl wrote: Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:17 pm I didn't see, which firmware version are you using again? My brain isn't working well today.
Didneywhorl wrote: Tue Sep 21, 2021 9:02 am All great info, but I meant which firmware on the router.
Did you flash it like 3x in a row without "saving settings" and then setup the settings fresh by hand without using a saved config file?iceburglar wrote: Wed Sep 22, 2021 3:35 pm
GoldenOrb_2021-09-13 ( WiFiX-WG1608-GO2021-09-13a.zip ) which I got from the Google Drive link on https://thewirelesshaven.com/wifix-router-firmware/. As of today it still appears to be the latest wifix version offered
Hmm, I didn't take notes to be able to relay the exact steps I took. But roughly what I did is I tried to use the router config pages to flash to a recent version of goldenorb from ofmodemsandmen website ( i think it was ZBT-WG1608-GO2021-08-15 ). Seemed to not work properly and I couldn't access the router on my network so I had to unplug-hold reset button-reconnect power-wait and release- to do a reset, I think this is when the router "turned Chinese" and I guessed what options to click and I was able to use the pages to flash the current wifix version ( I did have the checkbox set so settings would not be retained ) I assumed this would put the settings to default - all I have really changed is trying to turn ipv6 off to see if that was where my T-Mobile issues stemmed from.Didneywhorl wrote: Wed Sep 22, 2021 4:02 pm Did you flash it like 3x in a row without "saving settings" and then setup the settings fresh by hand without using a saved config file?
