Hi all and thanks for reading. First above all excuse my english as it is not my native language ( Im from Uruguay, the small country between Arg and Brazil). Having read a lot of posts and comments in the forum, let me tell you I am learning a lot more than any other place. I was really lucky to f...

I would flash the router more than once, sometimes the oddest things happen with a firmware update. Some thing it's dumb, but I have zero issues when I flash my routers 3x in a row before setting up anything. I would remove the SIM card while flashing though. Then once you have a stable fresh instal...

Band locking on the EM160? Simple really, via AT commands. The AT Commands manual has the info but I can skip you to the goods: AT Command: AT+QNWPREFCFG: "lte_band",1:2:3:4:5:7:etc:etc:etc:71 you enter the bands you want, and leave out the bands you don't want. All bands that I know of fo...

Hi again Didney! Well, your commands were close to totally succesfull in my case and now I have internet using both lan and wifi, to be honest through wifi I am seen the 5Ghz net but I am not been able to see the 2.4Ghz (how could I solve this?). So tyvm! WG1608 routers are quite finicky with WiFi,...

1) not sure, though elevation generally helps to a certain point. 2) EM160R-GL you can select bands at will. Modem will restart every time modification is saved. 3) Those bands will be available for service, the modem and tower will negotiate what band to use always. 4) Not sure, many factors. Chang...

Hey Bill and Didney, thanks for passing. ... Excuse me about this large post. Kindest regards! Hey, the pictures didn't load at all, so I cant see the examples. Make sure you upload them instead of linking to them. See here: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2156 You can just edit ...

The number one thing Im seeing is terrible signal quality. Your SINR is WAY bad. Are your antennas or antenna cables near a high voltage AC power source? Do you have multiple cell towers in the are with the same bands on them? Something is killing your signal quality. Second to that is the fluctuati...

I think your jumping from a crappy tower to a yood tower, back and forth.

Lucky for you the Quectel modems can lock to specific towers and radios on those towers.

Are you using your 4x4 mimo antenna? Or just the stock spike antennas?

You may try to block the sides and back of the 4x4 MIMO antenna with some kind of grounded metal shielding. The other cell towers could be causing your issues, called cross-talk. When there are multiple cell towers nearby with the same bands on them overlapping their broadcasting it creates confusio...

TTL may be something to try for sure, especially if they track hotspot usage. The standard value is usually 65, but yours may be different there.
