Re: What is the use of GPS function in LTE modem cards?

What is the use of GPS function in LTE modem cards? I have seen that most if not all of them offer GPS capability. What is the use for GPS and if I have an LTE router with a GPS capable modem, how will I benefit from this? I have an Amazon Fire Tab, which, because of the price point, Amazon did not...

Re: TTL control on M.2 Modems in USB enclosures

Hello all. I have a question regarding the use of an M.2 LTE module inside a USB enclosure, connected to a router running OpenWRT or one of its derivative. If I use a USB modem option on ROOter, will I still be able to modify the TTL value to something like 65 to "enhance" my LTE speed? I...

Re: Has anyone built We826-T2 with Telit/fibocom with LTE modems with success?

Any experience from the group using a foxconn T77W968? this is supposed to be an m.2 modem card for dell laptops. it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 in it and rated CAT16. I am more than willing to put in the money for something like this and ma...

Re: Fibocom L860-GL Antenna setup

Hello all. I am thinking of getting the Fibocom L860-GL M.2 modem, and looking at the pictures there are 4 antenna ports. To maximize the use of this modem, do I need to attach 4 LTE antennas (one on each)? I wanted maximized carrier aggregation, thus hopefully faster speeds. Referenced below is a ...

Re: TTL control on M.2 Modems in USB enclosures

Thanks for the reply Bill. I was a little concerned about this because I tried using a tethered phone as a USB modem (router was running GoldenOrb) and I tried changing the TTL value, but my speed remained 3G (this is the default unlimited speed for my SIM plan while tethered/hotspot). I also notic...

Re: Sierra Wireless Modems - Programming Carrier Bands

Soory for this noob question. Will this allow me to add an LTE band to my modem? Let's say I have a modem with no published Band 71 support. Can I program in this modem to support band 71? Not possible. If your modem does not support the band, there is absolutely nothing you can do - other than rep...

Re: Sierra Wireless EM7565 -- Flashing | Updating Firmware

I don't want to hijack this thread, I thought my concern were pretty similar, and I don't want to clutter the forum with similar posts. If I plan on using an EM7565, likely harvested from old laptops, on T-Mobile network, will it be sufficient to have this modem just flashed to Generic firmware and...

Re: ZBT Factory Firmwares Repo

Hello all. Does anybody have a link to ZBT Factory firmwares? Maybe an FTP site? You could try emailing ZBT directly at info@zbt-china.com and ask for the factory firmware. Keep in mind, that Chinese New Year runs from Jan 25th through Feb 8th in 2020, so they may not reply till it's over. They usu...

Re: ZBT Factory Firmwares Repo

On a related note. Is it possible to backup a router's current firmware directly from the device? For backup purposes, just in case I need to go back to factory firmware someday. You could probably use the Linux "dd" command just like on Androids, by logging into root through Telnet or PU...

Re: T77W968 DW5821e and T-Mobile One/Magenta plan, not compatible?

Yes this SIM is working perfectly in a Quectel EC25-AF, and on my LG android phone before that. I will try your other suggestions. Per the seller this should be unlocked. On their website they have a prototype pictured but the one sent to me appears to have no indication of being an engineering sam...

Re: T77W968 DW5821e and T-Mobile One/Magenta plan, not compatible?

The Modem has generic firmware already on it and switches dynamically. e.g. you can make it go to generic in ModemManger by changing the MCCMNC mapping in /usr/share/ModemManager/mm-dell-dw5821e-carrier-mapping.conf Hey OptimusPrime, Sorry I haven't been active and saw your question in the other th...

I do not believe it would without a lot of modification.
