Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

Dairyman,

Sadly, I was as fortunate using the 7-20 build. I ended up losing AC WiFi. It became not associated.

I ended up doing the recovery flash method to get back to the 7-15 build where both N and AC are running fine.

Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

Dairyman, Thanks for the build. I just upgraded to it directly from my the April version of GO that I was using. Happily my WiFi is running and that is on both the N and the AC bands. System Status 2.JPG Wireless Status 2.JPG I renamed the AC WiFi to make sure that I was able to get to it easily for...

Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

RockinBandit, Maybe there is two different variations of the WE1326. Mine, bought from thewirelesshaven.com, came without a modem so I bought with it the Sierra Wireless MC7455. I just opened up the base of the unit by removing 4 screw and carefully removing the main board. You have to be careful be...

Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

RockinBandit, My process was to use the recovery flash process to get back to the OEM code that Jim also provided in this thread. The WiFi worked fine so I used the OEM's standard flash process to flash to the GoldenOrb 4-15 version. Came up with WiFi and so I put back in the MC7455 and I have been ...

Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

The code from April did the trick. The WE1326 is running like a champ with the MC7455 and allowing the gigabit hardline connection as well as the AC level WiFi. I am surprised that we had to go through all this to get the WE1326 running. I guess not many people buy this unit. The internal 4G antenna...

Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

Jim, I did change settings to try and see if I could trigger an attach sequence. New name instead of ROOter, new channel, but nothing I tried worked. I used the recover method to install the OEM firmware. It came up with WiFi running fine. I could see the default WiFi name on my laptop, tablet and p...

Re: No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

Jim, Looks like you cannot use the built in firmware flash routine to flash from one modem type to the next. Good safety precaution, but ended up not allowing me to get the WE1326 firmware on. So shifted to the recovery method. "Oh No" moment... When you do the recovery method, all screens...

Re: Changing carriers on MC7455

Of course, senior moment on my part. Once the MC7455 is setup with IPv6, etc. it makes sense that all you need to make the carrier change is the APN field with GoldenOrb without any additional AT commands.

Thanks!

Changing carriers on MC7455

Since our internal wireless provider is T-Mobile, I have configured the MC7455 to fast.t-mobile.com. If, however, I wanted to change the MC7455 for Verizon Wireless (as an example) do I simply do the following? at!entercnd="A710" at+cgdcont=1,"ipv4v6","vzwinternet" at!r...

No WiFi on WE1326 running GoldenOrb for WG3526

I picked up a WE1326 router because of its size and that it had gigabit ports and AC level WiFi. I did not mind the internal 4G antennas. Per guidance, I flashed the unit with GoldenOrb WG3526 lableled firmware (2017-12-15). Unfortunately, even though the WG3526 and WE1326 is identical in spec, ther...

Re: Are usb to mini pci adaptors still needed?

I also think that it depends on your use case and the equipment you may require. I now gotten a chance to spend quite a lot of time working with the WE826 and GoldenOrb (probably more time than I had really wanted as Jim would agree :-)) and like the combo, but maybe the needs require a gigabit LAN ...

We get a chance on occasion to work with first responder groups and the current topic appears to be a governmental effort to dedicate a cellular band for these individuals to use in emergency situations. The band is 14, but through my research it appears that there is only 1 card announce, not sure ...

Re: WE826 no WiFi broadcast

Just wanted to close on this. New unit came in and I was finally able to allocate time to set it up and fire it on. Outside of a stupid user error on my part by mixing up the 4G and WiFi antennaes, the new unit works great on WiFi and hard line. Connection to my wireless carrier for the LTE has been...

Re: WE826 no WiFi broadcast

The new interface colors and shadowing are a big thumbs up. Please pass my compliments on to the author. Did the same as before and did not change from the default after the firmware flash. Menus show that the SSID should be LTE-ROUTER on channel 11 with no encryption, but again I do not detect the ...

Re: WE826 no WiFi broadcast

Thanks for the guidance on the config backup. Since this is really a test unit, I didn't really care about saving anything. 1. Re-downloaded the GoldenOrb code from the author's website. Made sure it was file named we826-GO2017-12-15.zip 2. Unzipped the file with no errors to a .bin file 3. Connecte...

WE826 no WiFi broadcast

This router does not appear to like me. Issue: Not seeing the WiFi SSID on any of my devices. Steps: - Enabled the default WiFi setup without any setting changes (Should see Rooter, but don't) - Set my own name and WPA2 password and made sure to hit save and apply (don't see the new name) - Made sur...

@JimHelms Thanks for all your input/guidance. Looks like this part of the router is now running solid. Been up for a solid 48 hours without a noticeable hiccup. Wasn't connected the whole time, but when I did plug my test laptop into anyone of the ports on random occasions and received a solid conne...

Re: Sierra Wireless MC7354 power cycles in WE826

The good news is that the power cycling stopped on the MC7354, but I am not sure exactly why. Because of the potential confusion on the APN entry I decided to delete the entry, save the blank entry and reboot the router. That was last night. Tonight when I was able to focus back on this issue, I boo...
