Re: MC7455 Lock on Cell Id?

Re: MC7455 Lock on Cell Id?

Woo-hoo. Reseated IPEX antenna connectors and I'm in business. Last piece of the puzzle (reason i got a Quectel) is to lock the specific tower I need with cellID, though don't know which database I should use for that....seem to be many different cellID formats?

Re: MC7455 Lock on Cell Id?

When you remove the case, you're simply letting more signal penetrate the modem/cables, thus the slightly better speeds. I would place the router with the case closed in a windows sill, and see if you're getting better signal. It's hard to tell exactly what's causing your signal issue, but Visible ...

Re: MC7455 Lock on Cell Id?

Here goes too-long post #2: Thanks for the input, I'm definitely going to test Yagis first. The issue is gonna be getting signal over the hill. Though I haven't tested yet, I'm pretty sure no Yagi, even if I could lock the tower I want, is going to pick up a signal directly from my home in the valle...

I just joined as well after seeing your post in Googling, members here seem super helpful which is great to see! My situation in a nutshell: Live in BFE southwest Pennsylvania in the ...
