My WE826 wireless router is arriving tomorrow and I was hoping to get some help setting it up with my Visible SIM.

Hello,
Refer to this post about visible set up.

Good luck with visible. Service itself isn't bad for the price but the customer service is the worse I have ever seen.
On day 5 trying to pay a bill get service reinstated. Was suppose to be on auto-pay.
Seen posts online with people having this same issue back in 2017.

If you're looking for a more reliable carrier for your router, then you may want to read this post for a run down of different options.

Update service back on had to go to bank to get them to allow payment to go thru. It is a cheaper alternate if it suites your needs.

Sending the Router back. Piece of Amazon Junk.

Did you receive it and tried it at all?
It may not be all that bad, lots of people use it as their primary internet.
Its WiFi may not be rock solid, but you can always connect one of the LAN outputs from the router to the WAN input of a decent dual band router/access point to get better wireless performance.

Can you elaborate on that a little more? Interested in this same configuration.

Did you load up a version of goldenorb? If i recall the kufi comes with chinese firmware and should be flashed to golenorb immediately. The we826 and ec25 are a good bedget combination and the kufi variant is the exact same hardware as any other we826 with ec25, only the firmware is different, and like I said above that can easily be changed.

Can you direct me on how to flash the kuwfi? Mine loses connection every hour like clock work. I have the same firmware it came with but don't know how to flash it with new.

I assume it's just like all the other openWRT routers.

Do a search for firmware recovery mode in the router tutorial section.
