EM7565 + WG1608 + Verizon Experience
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2020 10:07 am
Hey all,
Just wanted to share some insight into the last week of work on my new setup. Purchased a EM7565 and WG1608 from The Wireless Haven in hopes of setting up on Verizon unlimited plan and replacing my Mofi4500v4 router. Was hoping to get a little better speeds on the new router (both modem and gig LAN).
Setup:
You can check out the WG3526 tutorials for most stuff, as they are pretty similar to the 1608. Router was good quality, but on of the pigtails on the end was super short, not sure how you would realistically use it, but i didn't need it for my build anyway.
Most of my pains came from Verizon... i tried several working data sim cards and it would never attach. It would constantly degregister the sim. I finally (totally by accident) got it working. I reset the router, and popped the sim in without setting the APN or TTL settings beforehand. The sim registered and attached fine, then i set APN and TTL and restarted the router and the setting stuck, and the Attach/Registration stuck. I just wouldn't work in the order most of the posts specified.
Currently i have the router down in the basement replacing the mofi4500. So 2 yagi's + 40' of RG6 + Wilson IoT amplifiers + router. I just wanted an apples to apples comparison. My speeds are up about 10mb on download and down about 10 on upload. I have the Mofi4500 locked on B2 and get about 40/25, and now get about 60/8 with 3x CA (and now getting B66).
My plan is to move the router into the attic with about 5' of cable between yagi's and modem. Remove the boosters and re-aim my yagis. THey don't point directly at the tower with B66, and i think i can get way betters speeds when i get that done.
Hopefully this helps someone else, i just wanted to post before I got sidetracked and forgot. Good luck!
