Modifying T-Mobile Gateway, buying second-hand gateway? ( Arcadyan KVD21 )

Just got T-Mobile's home internet on their current promo for 30/month when you have a Magenta Max voice line. Previously I was using a One Plus International mobile line in my modems ( Quectel RM502Q-AE + WG1608 , Telit LM960 + WE826 ). I was never really happy with how those previous setups worked,...

Re: T-Mobile One Plus International VS Calyx

Hello, Sorry this isn't what you are asking. Have you tried to see if you can get T-Mobile home internet? $50 per month unlimited legit data. In my experience was actually faster than T-Mobile One-Plus International, It's all good, I'm open to other ideas. Addresses I currently receive mail at are ...

T-Mobile One Plus International VS Calyx

I have two lines of T-Mobile One-Plus International, one for my cellphone and one as my main source of internet in a modem. I've been pretty happy with the service, it doesn't slow down too much during peak-hours and I use in the ballpark of 300gigs/month ( and only around 20gigs on the cellphone )....

Re: WG1608 ping wont work, but internet is fine

Did you flash it like 3x in a row without "saving settings" and then setup the settings fresh by hand without using a saved config file? Hmm, I didn't take notes to be able to relay the exact steps I took. But roughly what I did is I tried to use the router config pages to flash to a rece...

Re: WAN Bonding with ROOter and OpenMPTCProuter

It's been a couple of years since I tested Speedify, but the performance was not nearly on par with what you can do with OpenMPTCProuter. Speedify is also much more oriented towards running on an individual client computer (i.e. a single device gets the benefit of multiple WANs). It is possible to ...

Let us know if you actually end up getting a 5G signal or connection with your new sim. As far as I know there are only a few of ATT's plans that are 5G enabled and pretty sure the popular postpay $20 tablet plan isn't one of them. If this is the case, i'm gonna have to do some research on it as I ...

Re: Configure external USB modem on MOFI4500 ( WE826 ) golden orb

Had this project stored away for a long time. It seems there was a problem with the USB enclosure/adapter I had the LM960 in as it got where it would rarely be detected by my WE826, and also very unreliably when plugged into my windows laptop. I finally installed the module directly in the WE826 ( t...

For anyone to help you, you'll need to provide a bit more info, such as which carrier are you using, and the plan. Also, go to the modem's status page (where it shows the connection status), then copy/paste all that info here so we can see where the issue is. Hey Bill, Carrier is T-Mobile, on the O...
