Visible Wireless in a Quectel EM12/WE826 Lost service
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2022 4:33 pm
Hello all,
Have had my uncle set up on this and has had no issues for like a year now or more. He called yesterday and said it was out. Went over there today Immediately put the sim into a phone and got a connection. So next looked at the setting and etc. Noticed that the "PDP Contexts" have changed. They shouldn't have since those are locked during the setup of this router. Below is a picture of what changed.
Tried changing these back and had issues getting it to connect. Decided to put in another service provider sim and test the modem and it worked fine. So the modem was good. When put back in the Visible sim again would connect sometimes and not others.
So flashed fresh new firmware to the router and set it from ground zero again. Using this tutorial here.

After this is is connecting over and over again after every restart like it should.
Have no idea what happened or how.
Just passing this along encase it happens to someone else.
Was starting to think that Visible was going to start blocking this Quectel modem but just needed to be set up again for some reason.
Well let everyone know if it goes out again.
