Re: Super Slow

One of the best investments you can make is to get a higher CAT# modem, such as a Sierra 7511/7565 or Quectel EM12/EM16/EM20 which can aggregate multiple channels for higher speeds. Course a good high gain antennas helps too. That is what I am finding. I wrote a post a few days ago as a primer for ...

Beginners Guide to Fixed-location Cellular internet

I am, by no means, an expert. There are many available to you on this forum. This post covers what I have learned the hard way, in an effort to save you significant time and money. It is a combination of best practices that I have gleaned from others on this site, boiled down and simplified for anyo...

Re: Super Slow

Alright success story. You can do allot with 15-20 down. If you want more could see about tweaking those antennas next to get another band besides 12. Agree, this is a great success story (so far) and despite saying in an earlier post that I had no interest in learning this stuff (just wanted an ea...

Re: Super Slow

Which antennas did you get, specifically? Haven't gotten them yet. I have the Amazon yagi's I mentioned in an earlier post on this string. I am looking to get the 15dbi panels you referenced from The Wireless Haven. Still not back in stock, I check every day. These specifically: https://thewireless...

Re: Super Slow

Not so Super Slow anymore! Got the T-mo SIM in and fought it for a while. Got it working. Without adjusting antenna or modifying anything other than carrier and APN, I am now getting 10-20Mbps down. 20200526_083015.jpg Band scan only shows band 12. Signal stats aren't that much different than before...

Re: Super Slow

So is the T-Mobile SIM still coming? Yes, I opted for the cheapest shipping, I am hoping to get it by Mon. or Tues. next week. I am holding off on driving the MoFi around until I have both SIMs to test with - lazy - it is currently screwed into the wall. Will test with my phones Verizon plan as well.

Hoping the 15dbi antennas allow me to pick up bands that are not saturated. Will I still be deprioritized or is it band specific?

Re: Super Slow

Hello again. I agree have always thought something other than signal is causing these issues. Which is why was thinking there was something wrong with your WiFi. What are your current TTL settings? TTL settings are 65 (Linux-2 65 on the MoFi). Tried the Linux 64 setting and I couldn't connect at al...

Re: Super Slow

".5 - 1M down and between 1-2M up." those seem to be 3G speeds. Before getting better antennas, I would check the account to make sure that you're getting truly unlimited data, and not some limited crap (something like 10GB high speed, 3G thereafter). As a test I would borrow another sim ...

Doesn't appear to be a wifi issue with the MoFi. Here is the test from PC cabled to the Mofi: Capture2.PNG A minute later with the cable unplugged and wifi enabled: Capture3.PNG Stats are about the same on my phone with wifi enabled. Bounced between .5 - 1M down and between 1-2M up. Ping times stay ...

Finally got some eth cables so I can test with PC on LAN port instead of wifi. Strange that I have none at home, everything is wireless these days. Will test tonight and plan to drive with the MoFi unit to the nearest 3 towers and verify bands. I have ordered a T-mo service to see if I get better re...

Are you running your tests over WiFi???
Allot of these we 826 routers have wifi issues.
My parents don't but mine does.
The Mofi I used to have had terrible wifi on it.

I assume you mean plugging a PC into the MoFi eth ports?

Re: Super Slow

Went to The Wireless Haven links provided by BillA and found that they do not accept payments in Virginia.

Is there another source or has anyone had similar issues? I plan to wait until Monday when they open to see if they can take my order over the phone.

Re: Super Slow

Will do, thank you GSCHEB. I have tried to lock to other bands, including 4 and the connection drops completely. I will try again. I think the panel antenna may do great things based on what you are saying and what BillA has suggested.

Thanks again BillA, curious about the difference in MHz between the two? Any benefits one over the other with ATT? What if I switch to a different carrier? The 15db seems more versatile. Still learning.
