Hello great to be in this group I'm so glad it exists cause I usually have alot of questions no one can answer. But I have a 4g orbi with a visible sim card in it and I've been getting the 5mbs nightmare that is visible. I just changed the curhoplimit to 65 on my laptop and speeds got a little better but not great and sometimes it goes back to horrible speeds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Test early morning and late night. It might just be reprioritizing on the tower. Cant help that. Also make sure you have both ipv4 and ipv6 hop limits set to 65/64, not just one or the other. Verizon based services use both. ( TTL and HL )

Hello,
Set up Visible on Rooter several times.
Use this below for custom rules and always worked just fine to get around the 5 Mbps.

#start TTL rules
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j TTL --ttl-set 64
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wwan0 -j TTL --ttl-set 64
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 65
#end TTL rules

Hey gscheb, have you tried removing the PREROUTING parts? I've found they don't hurt at all, but don't seem to be needed. Less to maintain, and simpler to understand.

No never tried it. Got this from the forum long time ago. It worked, so kept using it.
