We826-T2 with Quactel EP06-A and GPS
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2020 1:03 am
Hello, I have the WE826-T2 from KuWifi, the Cat 6 version with an Quactel EP06-A modem in it that come Saturday I should have up and running on AT&T’s network. The device shipped to me pre-installed of the modem and a WRT firmware that appears pretty well matured though there are two firmware updates I can chose one of to apply. I’ll take a look at that later.
It also shipped with 4 antennae’s, 2 for 2.4 MIMO, no 5Ghz, and 2 for the 4G LTE. These are run of the mill 4-5 dbi SMA style onmi’s.
From the pics on this site and what I am reading there’s a fifth antennae that can be installed. The GPS antennae. I see no exit holes in the router that would accommodate a cable. I see no GPS plugs. There’s no 5th antennae port. How does one add in the 5th antennae? Also, being the newb to cellular based backhaul and the various model configurations can someone tell me what advantages I gain by having said gps antennae? Does forgoing the antennae still yield a signal that can be acquired as needed for gps functions? Or is it off until plugged in? What is a sufficient antennae to get that will install nicely and work ideally? Is this plug and play I do not readily see configuration settings in the firmware?
Thanks very much.
