Wireless Joint

If this is the wrong board section, let me know and I'll move it!

I have the Spitz all set up with the Verizon unlimited tablet plan, working well. I'm running stock firmware that the Spitz came with.

I had the TTL settings set to 65 as I was instructed, but I noticed after 24gb I was being throttled. Switched it to 64, and got some speed back. I still appear to be losing data through hotspot as well, as it's now showing 27gb.

Am I missing something?? These are the TTL settings I have set currently:

#start 007 rules
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j HL --hl-set 64
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 64
#startTTL
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 64
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 64
#endTTL

Please let me know what I should change it to instead. Do I need to flash ROOter or GoldenOrb onto the Spitz instead? I'd rather not have to try and set it all up again, it was a pain and nerve wracking, hah. I'm very new to this.

Just changed the TTL settings to

#start TTL rules
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 64
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 64
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 64
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 64
#end TTL rules

I have no idea what these things mean, but it looked different to what I had previously. Will see how this one goes tonight in usage...

Works great for me on Verizon post paid tablet plan----your mileage may very. Rocky

#start TTL rules
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 117
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 117
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 117
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 117
#end TTL rules

also make sure to set all DNS setting-this also helped me

Thanks Rocky. The changes I made match what you posted, except with 64 rather than 117. It seems to have helped last night after the change. I'm keeping track of both total usage and hotspot usage now. Went up a little over 2gb total use, only seems to be 0.051gb from hotspot, so I think it's holding ok.

Which DNS settings should I be looking at? Not sure what I've changed or set at this point.

This is from @billa---thanks to you

 it needs to be set in two places, here's how:


Modem > Connection Profile > Default Profile > Advanced > Custom DNS Server1/2 > for Server1 enter "9.9.9.9" without the quotes, and for Server2 enter "8.8.8.8" without the quotes, then Save&Apply

Network > Interfaces > LAN > Edit > Common Configuration > General Setup > Use Custom DNS Servers > enter "8.8.8.8" without the quotes, press "+" and enter  "9.9.9.9" without the quotes, then Save&Apply

So I have a similar setup, unfortunately I am unable to locate the menu for the first item listed: "Modem > Connection Profile > Default Profile > Advanced > Custom DNS Server1/2 > for Server1 enter "9.9.9.9" without the quotes, and for Server2 enter "8.8.8.8" without the quotes, then Save&Apply"

Could one of you IT gurus point me to where I click to get to that point? The second menu "network" was found in the Advanced settings

BELOW WAS LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL POST:

Where would one find the "modem" item in the menu?

I think those are goldenorb menus. I've never use a GL.inet so I don't really know myself.

I heard about this forum on a Rumble video and I've tried searching for instructions on changing setting on the spitz modem - unfortunately, seems most posters assume everyone is looking at the same thing so instructions are sparse - or everyone is a hacker which makes this forum useless to the non-basement dwelling....so looks like I have to go go elsewhere for assistance!

Might want to try asking the company you bought it from. GL.inet makes their own firmware, and most of us here build our own and use Goldenorb firmware, or straight openWRT. Its the same basis, but the menus are different.

Honestly not sure exactly what you are looking for. There is a forum for gl.inet devices.
