Wireless Joint

Hello, I am completely new to building and configuring cellular modems in routers. I purchased the WG1608D-M and Quectel EM160R-GL. I installed the Quec and connected the antennas labeled 5G to M and D/G and the antennas labeled 4g/5g to M1 and M2. I inserted the Calyx sim using the adapter.

Is there a guide/tutorial that outlines the next steps of router/modem configuration? Right now my router says "NO SIM"

Thank You!

I saw this thread. My WG1608 came loaded with openwrt which looks different than the screenshots. There is no modem in the menu.

I did find the APN under network > interfaces > editing the cellular interface. I added the APN there.

under status > overview - there is no cellular modem shown.

When I look at the goldenorb site my router is not listed as supported.

Goldenorb has made firmware for it (latest) : http://aturnofthenut.com/upload/WG1608-GO2021-03-31.zip
There is a WiFiX version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UOzSzC ... sp=sharing

The openWRT version that comes with it requires command line (SSH into 192.168.1.1) to interface and configure the modem, according to the manufacturer.

To send commands via its built in CLI AT command terminal is:

at-cmd /dev/ttyUSB3 "AT-COMMANDS"

For example, check signal AT+CSQ

Thank You! I flashed it with the golden orb and setup everything per the guide. Not connecting. Here is the modem debug AT-Command log:

Your log there says you are connected.

Says you have bad signal, but connected. To B26 if Im reading it correctly. ~40% signal strength.

Ok. I have a laptop connected over ethernet that can't reach any outside sites. It also doesn't seem to be getting a DHCP address I am having to set it manually. I will post over in the router forum. Thank you
