Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Wed Jan 11, 2023 6:36 am

This is some info for FG2000
FX2000 may be the same method to get at the comports? I do not have one of those yet to try on.
I am working on this device, is anyone else?
some info for it
I have the comports enabled now

Awesome. Thier is hope for my fleecbay FG2000.

Assume com ports are the greyed out Lan Wan ports on my US cellular unit ?

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Fri Jan 13, 2023 6:29 pm

no, comports are usbendpoints that allow interaction with certian parts of the device, those wwan fields that are greyed out have nothing to do with them.

Hi Rich, great work & reviews!
I purchased & received the Inseego FG2000 yesterday. Can you please let me know how can I can get the custom firmware patch you talked about?

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 11:45 am

This is in its infancy, a very beta at best, and not properly tested yet. Having said that I do need a few beta testers for it to help diversify testing some, so testing is not limited to mine and a few other devices.

Right now I am not even sure how many different nands have been used in the production of these devices, so far I have only seen one.

Different nands can and usually means different files are needed as these vary in block size and some other required parameters.

Also they may have different partition layouts like the FW does, it has a 26 and a 28 partition layout and the files can not be loaded across platforms like that, so that remains to be seen.

There is still alot to be learned about this device, really all these new devices......

If you are interested in beta testing, msg me away from the forum, this is not the place for that type of posting and will just clutter this thread up. my contact info is easy to find.

Hey Rich,

I have a FG2000-3 with US Celluar branded firmware and I am missing under Advanced->LAN->IPPT (IP passthrough)

FG2000-IPPT.png

Is there a possibility to do this with your custom firmware?

Here some Debug Logs of my device:

Chimay_Debug_Log_01_20_2023_14_08.zip

Thanks for your work and greetings from Germany

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Fri Jan 20, 2023 1:23 pm

Yes it can be done thru firmware, only because for now, it needs firmware loaded to it to enable the ports otherwise it can just be done thru the command line.

Post by **bonkers** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 8:48 am

How can i contribute to get your Firmware more stable? Would love to get this IPPT function on my device

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:57 am

I have about a dozen testers now running it so I am good with beta testers now.
I can do the mod on your device later in the week I am tied up for a couple of days on a commercial job on devices arriving to me today.

Post by **bonkers** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:41 am

That would be awesome

Take your time and let me know when it is possbile for you

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 8:48 am

I can report that the fg2000 can run with the fw2000 firmware on it, I did not run it for very long with fw on it but it ran ok for 20 minutes or so before I loaded fg2000 firmware back onto it.

de-throttle is only partially working, my stock device on tmobile was only running about 22 Mbps down and 5mbps up, after the initial dethrottle it was at 55 dn and 55 up which is not good when compared to other devices like the fw and m2000 which for me here both run at well over 600mbps.
I will play with band switching some more and try to get the speeds up on this flashed fg device.
This fg is really wanting to stay on n71 so I am going to disable n71 and set n41 on it and see how it does, at 55 mbps on 5g n71 I think 5 CA LTE would/should be faster. we will see.

Does anyone have an fg2000e or one of the other variants besides the fg2000-3 uscellular model?

Post by **giboni** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 12:03 am

I see. Everything is moving forward !

Well rcvd my 2nd FG2000-3 today. Going to the store to get it unto my account. This one is not blocked at inseego connect.

Sooo the first one is ready to be a guini pig. Of course. It would need a license plate change. HaHa !

Post by **giboni** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 5:31 pm

I'm like a coiled spring !

The Antenna ports are inactive I think. Are they HARD WIRED ? Or are they Firm Ware/ Software switched antenna ports. Maybe tomorrow. I will figure out how to open up the case.

Sometimes where I live. Hours on end disconecting on 4GLTE. Might try tying it to 20 foot Mast with an extension cord !

I finally jump in my car. Drive 2 miles to the Mansions upper middle class area. Off the inverter. Solid 5G. What else is new.

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 5:40 pm

The Inseego 5G Wavemaker FG2000 ONLY supports bands B42, B48, and n78 for use with external antenna

Post by **giboni** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:09 pm

Ah
So is US C 5G here in Lincoln NE 600MHZ ? 4GLTE ? Guess have to look at Boosters ?

Or a 20ft wire fence pole !

Post by **giboni** » Thu Feb 09, 2023 8:53 pm

I see the screws behind the sticker on this FG. Next week. Will have time to tinker. Their has to be an Antennae inside the case. Maybe can rewire the oem ant ports, So I can connect external antennas.

Rich, I am thinking about opening a FX2000 on t-mobile. How do you know which antennas cover which bands. T-mobilr uses b66 and n71 here in central Missouri. Thanks for all you posts. They are helpful. Jim

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Mon Mar 20, 2023 8:34 am

Look in the fcc docs, there is enough of a description you can know which is which.

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Wed Mar 22, 2023 9:03 am

I am getting an fx2000 sent to me by the weekend so next week I will know what it takes to get that one done and prob will be making a proper thread for it

Post by **giboni** » Wed Mar 22, 2023 4:27 pm

Finally.

A few days off to tinker. Well made . WeMakeEverythingInChina device. Shame this slim version of 10 does not work with getting photos off my smart

phone. Using a utility knife and a plastic razor blade, Phillips #2. A snap to take apart the soft white case. Obviously. I will be working with the black

wires. Which are connected to the internal Antennas. White wires are the wiFi.

My first thought. Though these type of rf wire junctions and wire is available cheap on AliExpress. I probably will be going to either SMA or N . Some

very reasonable cost outdoor 5g capable antennas with gain on Ali-express. N or SMA .

Nice space underneath the external Antenna ports. To the right of the space. Slots in the assembly. To route the new wires. Some scrap plastic. Plastic

epoxy. Couple of holes in the case. N or SMA . Its ready for external antennas. SWR other issues I think plays here.

Okay. I am ready to hear from RH on whats next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:31 pm

What are you needing to do or for me to do?

Post by **giboni** » Sun Mar 26, 2023 2:58 pm

I need to know which Black wires to reconnect. ASSuming. The B wires are connected to different internal antennas. Guess for different carrier frequencies.

ASSuming. Only two are for the band US Cellular is using. AlliExpress vendors have pig tails, adapters,case mounts. 50 ohm impedance. Probably some of this might be on fleaBay also. ASSuming its two. One for receive. One Transmit.

With height. Having the directional Antennas facing the towers/buildings. I might pick up 5G at my location. I pick up 4GLTE strong. Just about 1 mile away. In my car. I pick up 5G strong. The neighborhood with the Mansions. Have a home-brew tower ready. The 25ft mast of a powerful night light !

Best John

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Mon Mar 27, 2023 7:26 am

I don't know the antenna hdwr configs by heart so you will just have to look, they are all right there, and simple to see where they go with labeled antenna bars, you can look thru the fcc doc to get the antenna names and what they represent.

Post by **Harpreetsure** » Tue Mar 28, 2023 3:37 pm

Hi Rich,

I have 100+ FG2000 from US cellular and want to use it on T-Mobile. Thus far I have been unsuccessful. Can you help? The device picks up the T-Mobile APN but getting NO SERVICE.

Post by **zhaopan0720** » Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:01 am

hi! Thanks for sharing, I also have a fg2000, can you tell me where the TTL contacts are?

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:22 am

what do you mean by "TTL contacts" ? time to live is a sub program that lives in the iptables module in your devices kernel

Post by **zhaopan0720** » Thu Mar 30, 2023 9:33 pm

Thank you for your reply~ It's the serial port diagnostic test point on the motherboard.I thought you knew.

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 8:06 am

TTL = time to live, it is how the carriers see end users sharing data from their devices. the test point on this one only renders emergency mode (9008) and since there is no known loader for SDX55 yet it is useless.
I enabled the comports on this one by modifying firmware and loading it to the device.
If you found some other way to enable the ports thats good, what mode/hardware id (VID/PID)do you end up with for them?

Post by **Douglasmv** » Sat Apr 01, 2023 2:07 pm

I am new to this forum so bear with me please. I have just purchased a new inseego fg2000 and I was told that I would not be able to use the ports on the back because they did not support the frequencies of t-mobile. I was given a suggestion from the T-Mobile rep about an antenna that plugs in the ethernet port. I never heard anything about this. Can anyone tell me if the antennas could be used if changing the firmware?

If those are bands you need then use the external ports as they are. As you can read, others are trying to re-route those external TS9 antenna port wires to different bands from the inside of the device, the firmware can-not obviously make for any hardware changes, it can however make for allowing the device to use different bands since this one seems to be by rule only using the uscellular bands for 5g

Post by **Douglasmv** » Mon Apr 03, 2023 8:12 pm

I know the tower I'm currently on is n41. Please let me know how to accomplish this. Thanks.

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Thu Apr 06, 2023 6:31 pm

I dont use the ext antenna ports but its pretty straightforward, just re-route the wires from the ext ports to the proper place on the board for the band you want, if you do not know which one it is use the fcc docs it will show you the antenna info/location you need. if the wires are not long enough then you will have to get or make new ones to fit your needs. There is plenty of room in this device to route them several diff ways.
report back here if you would so others can know how you got along with it.
good luck.

I would appreciate it if you could be of assistance. Since I use Tmobile could I just get the Tmobile firmware and upload it to my new device?

Hi Rich,

I've just ordered up a GSM Unlocked FG2000 that I want to attempt to use on TMHI for Small Biz. Since I can BYOD, the IMEI side shouldn't be an issue, but are there any other potential issues you can think of? Would it be possible to get your FW for this? I did try to click your profile for contact info, but it says I don't have permission to view that unfortunately.

Hi. Iam located in kansas city with same bands I am atound 2.6 miles from tower, had good signal - 90 until trees leaved out,down to - 110 to 115 then goest to hell. Opened it up and have a mimo antenna and have tried the ports on the top board,buy not much luck getting a signal improvement haven't found the right combination
You had any luck?
Tom

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Tue May 16, 2023 7:36 am

Those external ports only support B42, B48, and n78 if you need them to support other bands you will have to modify them like others have done in this thread

Post by **not2loud** » Tue May 16, 2023 1:33 pm

Is there a place to find the actual Inseego firmware for the FG2000 and FX2000 without any of the carrier info in it? I have found a seller with a large number of refurbished ones, and would like to take off the carrier specific firmware.

Thanks!

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Tue May 16, 2023 3:50 pm

A place to find it, no, inseego keeps firmware tightly under lock and key

Post by **kmacwlsle** » Thu May 18, 2023 12:15 pm

Noob here,

Is it possible to remove the the firmware from the US Cellular version to get the device working better on other carriers?

Post by **Rich Hathaway** » Thu May 18, 2023 4:40 pm

Yes there is

Post by **Douglasmv** » Sun May 21, 2023 7:08 am

Yes I'm trying to do the same thing. Also does anyone know how to change the TTL?

Post by **Douglasmv** » Sun May 21, 2023 7:12 am

I have an active T-Mobile for business and have the fx2000. As long as you have the fx2000 with T-Mobile you can take the SIM card out of the device and put it in another device without any issues. Only T-Mobile for business you can do this. I have tried several US Cellular FG 2000 models with T-Mobile and I never was able to get them to work. I have been looking into other routers that allow you to change the IMEI number and set it up to use under a tablet plan which is far less than paying $50 a month for internet service. Right now T-Mobile for business is offering unlimited data with 10 GB of hotspot for $15 a month. It used to be $10 a month but it just went up $5. Please get in touch with me if you want any more additional information.

For the fx like the other newer inseegos you also have to enable the ports first before any other work can be done to it, this is why it needs modified firmware loaded to it that has the ports enabled already cooked into it, then after that you can modify the ttl.

Post by **kalash** » Fri May 26, 2023 10:07 pm

I'm on a tmobile small business internet plan and have been trying to get past the carrier grade NAT.
I got a used fx2000 from ebay and want to try to use that in access point mode (or ip pass through - or whatever it's called on this thing) - but the small business plan is imei locked.

I'm mostly posting to get updates

And because I can't view profiles/contact info yet.
It sounds like there are a few other options that may work - other devices with imei mutability.

I'm locked in to the $25/mo discounted rate (new year promo) - so I don't want to mess it up by popping my sim into an unauthorized device.

Post by **nsa_xploit** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 9:09 am

New to the forum and the thread. Have an unlocked FG2000 that I was looking to use with directional antennas NOT on the bands supported by the external TS9 connectors. Searched through FCC docs to find internal photos showing which antennas are used for which bands. Haven't seen them posted anywhere else on the web, so thought I'd share them here. Theoretically, just need to drill a few holes in the case somewhere, and mount some IPEX to SMA pigtails to the internal antenna port that correlates to the antenna used for you desired band. I'll be testing out the theory soon and will update you all with results.

Howdy, y'all!
I just got an Inseego FG2000 - 3 from a reseller. It seems like this one was from USCellaur per the Admin panel logo. It came to me unlocked and I have it working with a T-Mobile and an AT&T SIM card. I noticed that the IP Passthrough setting is not in the Admin panel. Is there anything I can do to enable IP Passthrough or do I need to run custom firmware?

Have an unlocked FG2000 that I was looking to use with directional antennas NOT on the bands supported by the external TS9 connectors. Searched through FCC docs to find internal photos showing which antennas are used for which bands. Haven't seen them posted anywhere else on the web, so thought I'd share them here. Theoretically, just need to drill a few holes in the case somewhere, and mount some IPEX to SMA pigtails to the internal antenna port that correlates to the antenna used for you desired band. I'll be testing out the theory soon and will update you all with results.

What was the result? Also looking at the Qualcomm board software, I think you could assign which antenna to use for certain bands only if you know what (GPIO?) it uses. So if you want your set of bands to use the pre-existing external antenna ports, you can just swap the (GPIO) values around in the software. I didn't test this yet because I don't know what (GPIO) is used for the external antenna ports.

is there magic or band locking command for this device sir? I have inseego fg2000-3

Yes imei can be changed and band can be locked on the fg but it is a pain to get the ports enabled on that one

hello and good afternoon. I just recently picked up an fg2000 and trying to have it work with my tmobile sim from a g4ar instead. following along on the thread I am trying to see where to start.
