Wireless Joint

As I stated in a few of my post I acquired a few WE826-T devices, I found they are using a Quectel EC25-A. I purchased a OTR Mobile unlimited T-Mobile data plan and I am getting no connection at all. I put the sim in and ran a speed test with cheap internal antennas and got 0.31 mbps. I unplugged the device and installed an external antenna, powered it back on. I have not been able to reestablish a connection since, I tried the sim in 2 different devices and still no joy. I had a friend try and help me but with my software he couldn't find a (TTY?) setting he was looking for. This is what I have, is there something better out there?

You may want to flash the router with the newest WiFiX version of GoldenOrb.

It has a custom TTL tab and a choice of TTL settings.

For best results, I would use the Firmware Recovery Method to flash it.

Thanks JimHelms, is there a flash your router for dummies guide in here I have been searching and reading for hours and have only managed to get a headache. Most of the guides assume you know what you are doing. I have managed to brick one modem following the ROOTter by of Modems and Men.

You are the first one I have ever heard of bricking a modem by flashing a router with firmware. Router firmware does not change modem settings best of my knowledge.

There is a PDF on the letfix.com site. PDF display seems to be broken there, so here is PDF:

You might also look under "ROUTER DEVICES / Tutorials" in this forum. Simple look I found https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=233 and "Step Two" link may be of interest to you.

Ok I made a little headway, found that I had a bad Ethernet cable causing the software not to load. I was able to load the WiFiX software (I thought it was the firmware recover method causing the problem at first or I would have loaded it as suggested). I ran through several check as suggested in several different pages on the site still no Joy. I was trying to find some specific AT commands for my setup, any suggestions?

The Quectels are pretty straightforward

The only AT command that really comes in handy is
This forces it to only use LTE bands

Are you looking for anything in particular?

The entire AT command reference is free at Quectels website.

I really appreciate all the help from you guys. I did figure out what I did wrong between all the links provided and searching past post. Now I just have to find some antennas since the T-Mobile signal is nowhere near as strong advertised.
