MC7455 Unable to Connect

[kylesfishin]

I recently set up my WG3526 with MC7455. I just activated my PagePlus SIM and installed it into the router. After following all of the instructions on this site (including the troubleshooting connection issue post), I'm not able to connect. I've reset the router to default settings and reflashed the firmware (from ofmodemsandmen). APN is set to vzwinternet. The router recognizes the SIM phone #.

Below is what I was seeing before the reflash.

And this is what I'm now seeing after.

If I use at!selrat=06 to set to LTE only, I get the following:

This is using the antennas that came with the router. I purchased a Proxicast Cross-Polarized (MIMO) 7-10 dBi antenna, but am waiting on the correct cables to hook it up.

Can anyone point me in a direction to get this working right?

I think (and according to @BillA) that APN for PagePlus should be:

tradfone.vzwentp

You may also need TTL of 117

Give that a try...

"tradfone.vzwentp" - just a little typo, it should be

tracfone.vzwentp

""tradfone.vzwentp" - just a little typo, it should be

tracfone.vzwentp"

Opps,. Just copied what you told me in pm, lol.

Just remember, I'm always right, even when I'm wrong! lmao

Yes sir, I will remember that, lol. I looked at it and thought "wonder if that should be tracfone", naw Bill does not make mistakes

Thanks for the help everyone!

Changed the APN to tracfone.vzwentp and the TTL to 117 and it's up and running!
