Re: Help an idiot with a not working MoFi 4500

If you got the APN down, the TTL changed, and the IMEI changed, can a carrier really do anything? They might only terminate your account on the basis of extreme usage but how would they be able to find out you're actually using a router device instead? Just to add a bit to BillA's answer. Whether o...

Re: Help an idiot with a not working MoFi 4500

And finally, regarding the 7455 modem in MOFI. BTW, if one wants to see how MOFI interacts with the modem he can simply login to MOFI using SSH, open minicom session and use the MOFI GUI - all AT commands sent to the modem will be printed/echoed on the screen. But having an opened minicom session wi...

Re: is WE826-T2 really outperformed by mini $12 router?

I should respectfully disagree about VPN in general - it was used in the past, is being used now, will be used in future. Nowadays virtually all sites are using https connection, and by using a VPN you're just double encrypting the connection, which is an overkill in my opinion (both in terms of cos...

Re: Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

When I log in to the Mofi control panel once things have gone down, and try to do the "Internet connection test" from the main screen it does indeed fail. However, when I go to System>>Diagnostics, and do things like run a ping test to openwrt.org or do a traceroute, they work and return ...

Re: Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Hi, Another owner of MOFI4500 4GXeLTE SIM4COMBO is here. The fact that you cannot get access to a webserver using HTTP _but at the same time you can use previously initialized TCP/IP connection tells us that most likely there is a problem with DNS (domain name resolution). This is when you can ping ...

Poor man load balancing on Windows

Re: Mofi 4500 VPN disables WIFI

Re: Mofi 4500 VPN disables WIFI

heartbeating and am really glad I did not get the MOFI. For one, if MOFI continues to do this, segregating MOFI traffic by an ISP will be trivial.

Re: WE826-GO random reboots

I have a one month old WE826-GO that seems to reboot itself randomly. I use LTE for internet, via MC7455, and it is not that the internet disconnects, but the router reboots. The WiFix network is not visible from PC for about two minutes and then when the WE826-GO boots back up it reconnects. Syste...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

So, I finally scheduled a script via cron on the router using WGET to Cloudflare DNS on port 80 every minute and if it failed just power toggle the modem and not bounce the box. This is very clever idea, this is how the connection monitor is implemented in MOFI, you have a choice of pinging or send...

Re: No Carrier Aggregation - Sierra Wireless EM7565

Thanks for the answers :-) Actually I came to the same conclusion, the tower simply does not support B2,B4 aggregation although it has no problem with using them individually.
