RM502QAE Connectivity Issue - Only Some Services
Posted: Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:30 am
Hi Everyone,
I have a bit of an issue and stumped on what to try to next, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I've had a mofi4500 on t-mobile (One Plus Internation plan[which includes unlimited hotspot]) running without issue for years. Recently, I've noticed 4G in the area is very congested so I picked up a RM502q-AE and a USB adapter so I could utilize the 5g in the area. I flashed the mofi with goldenorb and got everything set up. I am getting much better internet speeds and the connection is fairly reliable. However, I've noticed there are a lot of services that I can no longer to get to work. For example, I can no longer join discord voice channel, join multiplayer games, or connect to vpn. I've also noticed that I can not even ping addresses such as 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 (requests time out),
Initially, I thought it was a rooter issue, so I've been combing through settings and forums trying to find a solution. I also followed the tutorial on here to change the startup script to only use IPv4 in case that was the issue. Today, I popped open the mofi and put the stock modem back in to give it a test and everything worked fine. This leads be believe that the issue is not with rooter, but with the RM502Q-AE itself. Does anyone know what I need to change to be able to use things like discord and vpns while using the 5g modem?
