Configure Quectel RM502q-AE on Visible / ATT for 5G UW & 5G+ Speeds
Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2023 11:59 am
We have a DualQ H721 router running GoldendOrb 2022-09-28 firmware with a Quectel RM502q-AE modem.
Right now we have a Visible+ plan and we are getting a pretty good 150/80 Mbps. Although, when we put the Visible+ SIM into a smartphone (Pixel 7 Pro), I notice that we are within range of an ultra wideband tower, so the 5G"UW" logo will pop up and the smartphone will clock speeds that are considerably higher at 400-500 Mbps download.
The DualQ consistently locks to bands B66 (20 Mhz/20 Mhz) and n77 (60 Mhz), which appear to be the same bands the Pixel 7 Pro connects to as well.
I'm not sure why the DualQ is unable to get the higher ultra wideband speeds.
FWIW, we also have a Verizon 5g business internet plan, and that modem easily initially shoots above our throttled 200 Mbps when we do a speed test, so I know we are well within range of the applicable towers and the speeds can top 200 Mbps pretty easily.
We also have an ATT Elite plan on order (currently waiting on the SIM), so I'm wondering if we might run into similar problems. We are within the ATT 5g+ area.
Any help would be appreciated.
