"... I believe it does support 66 and 72" you mean bands 66 and 71

Hey, new member but long time cellular guy. So, with the issue isn't that your not getting the signal... It's that you sim isn't provisioned. That's the normal message that happens when an unactivated sim is fired up on T-Mobile. I was a long time user of OTR Mobile but with their shady business pra...

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 ...

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 ...

So the SIM card is active. Since it was working before you lost power, and it will no longer connect, I would first make sure the APN is entered and spelled correctly since resetting the firmware to its defaults would have erased it. And, SAVE & APPLY and hard reboot the router. I am wondering ...

Problem solved: Location Services was on on kids computers. Everything is working now.

Sorry i've been gone for a bit. Ive been learning more on all of this. I Just got my PI3 today and started playing with it. first time ive ever seen one.

When you run tbe command AT+GSN does it return the original imei or a modified number? If its not the number your ATT account expects, then that is likely your issue. We cannot discuss IMEI changes but I can tell you it may be good to backup any changes made to the modem to flash memory via the AT+...

Been there done that... The problem is the T-mobile service I subscribed to. All of the problems I have had are based on the plan. Simply Unlimited Prepaid did not support my expectations. For a few $more everything is working with a postpaid plan. I hope someone finds my mistakes helpful with solvi...

Appreciate the help.

Good idea, I'll have to try that. Thanks. If you don't wish to use a car power inverter (up-converting 12V to 110V then down-converting to 12V again is quite inefficient plus it could introduce some noise into the power line, depending on the quality of the inverter), you could plug the router in d...

You can use the above speed test sites, though you'll have a pretty short amount of time for testing, so here's a direct link to iTunes download which should give you several minutes of a testing window for carrier aggregation.

If anyone cares I just wanted to update my post.

I am looking at a used CradlePoint IBR900 on ebay.

Or will the unit always try and re-conne...

A heat sink and fan will help keep it as close to the ambient temp as possible, but I'd expect it to still stay around 60c if your attic is baking at 53c all day.

The router will need roughly 60W-70W of available power for itself on poe. 72W POe injectors are what I use, the The Wireless Haven store on facebook has them.

This is excellent. Thank you! iptables approach is a good alternative—I can muck through it if I spend enough time researching what it is I’m trying to do due to lack of often/common use (my fault/problem, not iptables fault). It’s a bad excuse, but the one I am currently using. Thank you again.

Got it sorted out.

That is kind of what I thought but wanted to ask around. How does the Golden Orb firmware compare to the Mofi firnware? Also, any idea if there is a substantial gain from moving to the EM7565 over the MC7455 when used in the Mofi box running a different firmware? I have your answer! I also started ...

First surgery done on my WG3526. I replaced the EC25-AF with a EM12-G. Fairly straightforward. I was under the impression that the EM12-G had three antenna ports for 3x MIMO. This is not the case. It has Main, Div, and GNSS antenna ports. I drilled and added the third port anyway, as I bought the co...

As a side note (and a FYI), although there is no performance issue or lack of connectivity due to it, the modem active LED ("3G/4G") on the WG3526 is no longer functioning while using the EM12-G (located in a PCI-E to M2 adapter). Testing has shown the LED is functional, and can be manuall...

... I'm also toying with the idea of scrapping the RPi and associated software and instead use pfsense on a small x86 system.... pfsense is almost certainly out of the running. The only way FreeBSD (the OS under pfsense) supports LTE modems is via ppp. That limits performance to the 20mb/sec range.

The best bang for your buck would probably be a WG3526 router with a cat12 Sierra card inside (the pci-e one, so you don't need the M.2 adapter), the The Wireless Haven flat panel mimo antenna (15dbi), and enough lmr240 with proper connectors to hook it all up. That should come up to somewhere aroun...

The Global Cell Id is hex. Convert the first 5 characters to decimal and that will equate to the eNB ID shown on cellmapper. In your example, the eNB ID should be 176278.

Altice is not a viable alternative for home internet unless you know for a fact that you will remain well below the 50GB data limit. Their T&C makes it very clear they DO NOT want you to use them for your home internet.
