Re: PSA: AT&T Doing away with $35 iPad Unlimited.

In the meantime I also ordered a data plan (~$150 :o ) from UnlimtedIRL on recommendation from the Wireless Joint group. Oh my god, who recommended that to you? UnlimitedIRL is extremely overpriced. If you're looking for AT&T, there are plenty of cheaper resellers or vendors on this list: https...

Re: Problem connecting to VZN with EP06

When I first put in the verizon SIM in, it connected fine but then I changed the TTL and power cycled and it was not able to connect again, even if I reverted settings or reflashed the firmware. ATT/T-Mobile work fine on it. Tried on two different SIMs now

Re: Problem connecting to VZN with EP06

It seems I am actually having a similar issue to this thread.

EP06 modem, stay trying to connecting, error 303

Except I didn't have a power outage. And it only seems to be an issue with VZN.

Re: Problem connecting to VZN with EP06

Yeah sorry that's what I meant, I actually do unplug and plug back in.
I tried this with 2 different active SIMs. It's kind of odd.

The other thing is that when it randomly managed to connect at first, at a TTL of 65 and 117, it was still being detected as hotspot usage.

Problem connecting to VZN with EP06

hello, I have a WE826-Q with a verizon SIM. On the initial boot, the SIM was able to connect but even at a TTL of 117 it was still using hotspot data. However, the bigger issue is that when I tried switching the TTL and rebooting, I am no longer able to connect no matter what I do through the Verizo...

Flashing goldenorb firmware Reduced Speeds

Previously I made a post about how the mediatek chipset on the WE826 performed very poorly(you should go with the qualcomm chip) but I realized that my WIFI speeds and connection are actually significantly worsened by flashing the goldenorb firmware vs the WIFI speeds on the original firmware it com...

USB modem with cell phone chipset?

I was looking at some USB modems/routers from china and came across a device that uses a MT6735 chipset, which is a chipset with an integrated modem that a bunch of cell phones typically use. I am not that familiar with the hardware of 4G devices but I was under the impression that typically you can...

Re: Verizon data plan options

Nighthawk m1 doesnt seem to support band 13 and also doesn't have TTL. However, recently I've seen 3 resellers pop up selling unlimited verizon using the nighthawk M1 router. Which is strange because it doesn't allow for TTL so I would assume they get throttled after about 15 gb to 600 kbps in speed...

Re: Good Signals Bad Speeds

Doesn't it also depend on the cell tower's capacity/technology/congestion? I've been to areas where I get -25 dBm worse signal on a particular band but get 4 times the speeds without any carrier aggregation. Also, idk how it works on sierra but if you lock to a particular band as you're doing, does ...

not connecting to certain sites was an issue I had with a device before and it was resolved by changing my connection to IPV4.

I haven't tried the WiFix one from Wireless Joint because it only shows firmware for WE826-T2. Unfortunately, the ...

Or, the device you're connecting with has some incompatibility issue with this particular router, but not with others. I did test it across different devices. I also tried reflashing firmware, changing WIFI channels but same issue. I don't know if it's just this particular router but I am inclined ...

WE826-T2 out performed by mini $12 router?

Recently got a WE826-T2 and this thing is getting consistently outperformed wirelessly in range and throughput by a mini GL-MT300N-V2, which I got for $12 connected behind the we826. The speeds were sometimes 2-3x greater going through the mini router's WIFI than directly from the WE826-T2 with no o...

Re: Help an idiot with a not working MoFi 4500

If you still have the old ATT tablet/iPad plan make sure the APN is set to "broadband" or alternatively "nxtgenphone". There are lots of reports online that ATT is clamping down big time on router usage especially on their newer $65/$75 prepaid plans. If you got the APN down, th...

Both of these modems are quite similar in band support, and both support carrier aggregation although the EP06-A tends to be a bit cheaper. However, I have read online, that people who have compared their MofI router to their router with the EP06-A have had differing speeds and seemed to find that t...

🙏 Thank you Bill. I will test it and get back with an update.

BTW, the router I received came with a different gateway IP: 192.168.8.1 Do I have to adjust the IP settings to my LAN port on my PC to 192.168.8.10 instead of 192.168.1.1? I really dont know much about this stuff.
