Re: What's your ideal OVERKILL setup?

I believe OMR does support direct connections, however, I'm not sure if it can handle multiple as i've never tried. Also the OMR box is already extremely busy with everything else so I'd recommend keeping the modems separate. It all depends on how fast you want your setup to go really. LTE equipment...

Re: Building Home WI-FI

In situations like yours I think the ultimate goal would be to get an external antenna up as high as you possibly can. Best bet is above the tree line with direct line of site to the tower. In determining which antenna I would start with the provider and cellmapper. Use cellmapper to get an idea of ...

Re: Quectel EM160R-GL

From prior post: "+QRSRP: -85,-100,-129,-96" This is indicating all port are being used. Your latest posts: "+QRSRP: -82,-84,-140,-140" This is indicating either the modem is in an 'idle' state or is not using all ports. You could start a large download and run the AT+QRSRP comma...

Re: MoFi 4500, 2 antenna, no aggregation

For aggregation or improving SINR. The modem can use the signal from all antenna ports to improve the overall signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). My bet is if you disconnected the diversity antenna and watched your SINR levels you would find that it isn't as good as it was which ultimate...

Re: STILL being throttled by Tmobile

TTL is used to mask hotspot use. If for some reason they are seeing hotspot data and you have used your limit of hotspot data, your done for that billing cycle and there is no resetting to get speeds back. The fact that you can reset the modem and get speeds back makes me think it is something other...

Re: NEXP1GO + telit help!

Thanks for the help, Didney. It could very well be that my signal just isn't strong enough. Although the signal I was receiving on B2 was comparable to B14, only 14 worked. I'm currently locked on B14. The lm960 is is 4x4, so is that RSRP and RSRQ for the first set of main and diversity antennas? O...

Re: WG1608 - Unable to tracert a certain host, port related?

I wouldn't recommend opening any ports if you didn't have to anyway. Just that much more of a potential security vulnerability. If its that much of a problem I would dig around and find out just exactly why those ports need to be open for proper operation? Usually the only time a port needs to be op...

Re: WG1608 - Unable to tracert a certain host, port related?

Am I correct that it isn't possible to "open" a port? Could this be the cause of me not being able to complete a tracert? * https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=5551#p5551 For the most part this is correct. LTE providers basically use what is essentially a private network. You are no...

Re: Verizon tethering issue

Many don't realize this but you have to make sure your device name is correct. Not saying this is the problem but worth checking. Under the interface tab look for your connected internet interface. Once you find the interface look and see what the "device" name is as this can change based ...

Re: LMR200 Cable damage

Nothing a little electrical tape can't fix right, LOL. That or if you have it handy the self fusing tape would be optimal. Ultimately not that big of a deal I wouldn't think.

Re: Newbie needs help with MR5200

What a headache right? I guess the first thing I would do is find out exactly what 5G services that AT&T is providing in your area as its probably all for nothing. I did the same thing and set up another line for 5G etc etc all to find out that its slower than their 4G offerings. I know in my lo...

Re: Cudy lt400

Verizon bought Simple Mobile. Worst experiences with carrier service since then. They pushed updating your equipment to '4G capable' (whether its already 4G capable or not) and tried to make you upgrade your device. All 3 of my lines were newer samsung phones (2 were 5G capable) and they still force...
