Re: Update on Tmobile's 5G bands

Interesting. The BIG wait is going to be on mmWave antennas, in my opinion. I haven't really searched, but I've not seen aftermarket mmWave antennas. I ordered a WG1608 from ZBT, with 5G modem and antennas. It's gunna be fun to play with I hope. They dont yet have the modems in stock, so I sit and ...

Figured some cheesy modem lol... The Fibocom FM150-NA only has the US Sprint 5G band n41 + LTE bands, therefore it's very limited and you're better off going with one of the other models.

Re: Pageplus - Work on an iPad?

Working now. Even after having the profile installed it wouldn't work. Kept asking me to login to verizon. I flipped on the hotspot mode on the ipad, and data started working. Flipped it off, I still have LTE data. Seems to have worked through a restart. I'm not sure if it was a timing thing, or if...

Re: ibr600 as modem with router running openwrt - allow ttl adjustments?

Yes sir, but we are talking about the A7 (least that is what OP stated), not the C7. If you read the first link I posted you will see that there are differences. I caution anyone getting a A7 to cloesly read the info @ https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer_a7 Or you might end up with a closet full...

Re: Quectel - Programming Carrier Bands and Groups of Bands

Is there a At Command to place the EC25 on auto scan? On most Quectel modems try this command for auto-scan. After sending the AT command, make sure you get an "OK" response and restart the router by powering it off and on. AT+QCFG="nwscanmode",0,1 All other scan modes: AT+QCFG=...

Re: ibr600 as modem with router running openwrt - allow ttl adjustments?

I currently have the cradlepoint IBR600BLP4 with the att ipad plan for my home internet. I've been researching options to change things if and when I get the boot. Is it feasible to simply purchase something like the Archer A7 and run openwrt, keeping the cradlepoint as the modem and allowing me to...

Re: Mofi 4500 and existing T-mobile hotspot SIM?

Surprised you looking into it. Thought you just tethered a phone for data to WG3526 router. My main setup is a WG3526 with a Samsung S9+ tethered via usb which has band 71 and can get up to 350Mbps after midnight with 3xCA when the network is not congested (SimpleMobile running on Tmobile towers). ...

Re: EM06-A : Need Help, modem isn't working after a power outage

I had a power outage this weekend, when the power came back, my EM06-a would not connect to verizon. A power outage may have corrupted the modem's NVM (Non-Volatile-Memory). I would reset it and try both QMI and MBIM modes. QMI mode Copy and paste each command one at a time, and make sure you get a...
