Wireless Joint

7 month follow-up. My setup has been running great since my last post 7 months ago. I still have not updated the firmware. I have only had to re-boot and run the AT command in previous post maybe 3 times in 7 months. Not sure why, but it was not because of zoom. Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU t...

Just wanted to post an update since it's been a while. My system has been up and running great since my last post above where I put it in MBIM mode, and used "AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","ims";+CFUN=0;+CFUN=1" to get it to connect. To the point made in the previous post about...

I have not flashed the firmware of the modem yet. I have to do that with a USB adapter, right? I bought one but haven't done it yet. It's running in MBIM mode, even though it can't run the "deactivate" command. Honestly, it's running great right now. It has not had a single hiccup in the 2...

There seems to be something wrong with your modem (error on AT+QMBNCFG?) Please run these commands to get the hardware info, then copy and paste the output here. The first "AT" by itself is just to clear the buffer. AT AT+QMBNCFG ATI AT+CGSN < You may block out the last 4 digits AT+CGMR A...

Try these commands, I just tested it on an EM12. They are combined, copy and paste them exactly like this: AT+CGDCONT=1;+CGDCONT=2;+CGDCONT=3;+CGDCONT=4;+CGDCONT=5 AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",0;+QMBNCFG="Deactivate";+QMBNCFG="Select","ROW_Commercial" AT+CFUN=0;+CFUN...

To solve the "Deactivate"/MBN issue, first power off the router, remove the sim card, power it on, wait at least 5 minutes to boot up fully, then send these AT-commands via Modem > Miscellaneous: AT+QPRTPARA=3 wait at least 5 seconds then AT+QPRTPARA=1 Wait at least 5 seconds, restart the...

I've only tried Verizon. I use the antenna with a NEXQ6GO router, Quectel EM12-G modem, the modem adapter and pigtails, and upgraded power supply...all from The Wireless Haven except the antenna, tablet plan sim card. The antenna did improve my signal/speed and gives me the ability to point to a spe...

Just to give an update. I was provided a firmware update over on the whirlpool forum. We still cannot get the AT+QMBNCFG="Deactivate" command to work. It times out. They were trying to get me into ECM mode, but it would never connect. Maybe due to the Deactivate not working? So AT+QMBNCFG=...

Posted there, already getting some feedback. Thanks,

Do you mean initiate a live stream...like on FB, or find a live stream and watch it?

So this morning I connected my laptop to the modem via ethernet. Lost internet after about 1hr and 45 minutes. Unplugged the ethernet and switched over to the hotspot and resumed...like always. Was in a zoom breakout room with 6 other people. Speeds during the zoom session were 25down/5up/49ms ping....

Q. What are your up/down speed? A. Download usually 30-40Mbps, Upload 8-9. I don't think that's it, because it happens when speeds are good. This evening was congested 13/5. I usually keep the Live status splash page up so I can monitor signal numbers and modem temp. Nothing stands out. Q. Have you ...

I have the NEXQ60, Quectel EM12 modem, the upgraded power adapter, using a 2X MIMO Panel antenna. Verizon post paid iPad plan. The issue I am having is a loss of internet, but only when I'm on a zoom session. (laptop connected via wifi). It will run for weeks with no problem, multiple devices, strea...

Just a post to give an update as to where I am on this journey. I've learned that if I combine bands (like 4 and 5), and get carrier aggregation, the thing disconnects more often. I don't know if it's a heat thing or voltage thing with my setup or what. I've also learned that tower congestion has so...

Thanks, that's a great idea that I want to try. I have a couple of routers...a Linksys WRT and an Engenius access point/bridge. I was able to pick up a different tower about 6 miles away (closer one is 1.7 miles). Bands 2, 13, or 66 are not very good even though the signals are better. I still get c...

Just a follow-up. Panel antenna has helped a lot! Still see some congestion in the evenings, but mostly usable. Great speeds compared to what I'm used to most of the time. -7 RSRQ is the best I can get in the current antenna location. I can go another 10ft or so higher, but I'm going to run it where...

Using the stock antennas on the router for now. The external one should be here tomorrow. I drove around and laid eyes on a couple more towers. So I will have a few options to point the new antenna to.

The hotspot is a Novatel 7730L. Looks like it's CAT 9, 3x carrier aggregation. The EM12 in my router is CAT 12, 3x carrier aggregation. Should be pretty comparable, right? Right now I've got the router outside on a deck, about 12 ft higher than the hotspot which is still inside. Router runs slower t...

Here's a comparison. It's 9pm on 10/16. The NEXQ6GO (using unlimited plan data, not hotspot data) and the VZW hotspot are both using band 4. But the hotspot is getting much better download speeds. I do see that the speedtest connected to different servers. Why doesn't the router do as well? Is it a ...

Just an update. First, I corrected my opening post. I was comparing speeds with my VZW MIFI hotspot...not Mofi. As far as antennas go, I do have a Cross-Polarized 600-2700 MHz MIMO Outdoor Panel Antenna on order. It touts up to 11 dBi gain between 1710 and 2700 MHz, and 10 dBi gain between 600 MHz a...

I don't think I am being prioritized. Just got the plan and sim...postpaid tablet. Used 23Gb data so for...showing as plan data, not hotspot. Other antennas are not looking as good so far. Much more obstructed, but I'm still looking.

Cool link. Thanks. I was trying to do it the hard way with google maps and math! Does it look like I set it up and interpreted it correctly? I really wasn't looking at the device type stuff...just the elevations. I put in the coordinates of my house and the tower. I set my side at 25ft installation ...

I'm using a NEQ6GO with an EM12, stock antennas. The closest verizon tower is 1.7 miles away. Pretty close. But I have a hill and trees directly behind my house in line with the tower. I don't think I can get line of sight even with a pole, but I should be able to get better, right? The screenshot i...

Just an update. I moved the router to a different location. Had to unplug it. When it came back up, it would not connect. I deleted the APN in the connection profile, power cycled it. Then re-entered the APN and power cycled again. Then it connected.

Thanks for the help! Calling it a success for now.

Clear out your APNs again, delete your APN under ModemConnection Profile, and try AT+QCFG=”usbnet”,1 (ECM mode) for giggles. Then power cycle the router and then enter the APN into connection profile again then power cycle again. Well, that did something! The ECM mode command gave an error. Can yo...

So I'm guessing we are getting to the same point with both methods (MBIM or QMI). The network is not accepting the connection either method. Should I pursue TTL settings or is it still premature for that?

Change the modem back to QMI mode. It may be an issue with MBIM mode on your network. AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 then AT+CFUN=1,1 Ok...did this. Looks like it's getting further. Now we may be at a provider issue? Wed Oct 7 10:33:02 2020 user.notice usb-modeswitch: Found Modem1 Wed Oct 7 10:33:03 ...

I assume this is the part of the system log that is failing...the bold Permission denied lines? Looks like line 3 ...login with "root" ...was successful. Anymore ideas? Wed Oct 7 09:50:49 2020 user.notice usb-modeswitch: Found Modem1 Wed Oct 7 09:50:49 2020 user.notice usb-modeswitch: Conn...

Great! One less thing to worry about. So is it definitely a software problem? Can I rule out user error on the initial build...like connectors or wrong antennas screwed into the wrong place? Maybe I have to get further down the road to rule out a physical issue? Wifi is working, so I know that side ...

I can't seem to find the firmware (any version) for the NEXQ6GO. It's not listed on either of the firmware locations mentioned here: https://thewirelesshaven.com/wifix-router-firmware/

I guess I have to ask someone from The Wireless Haven to provide it to me?

Firmware Version GoldenOrb_2020-04-04. It was preloaded. I generated an archive (backup) as soon as I got the thing.
After a couple of days of messing with settings I did a "perform reset", and I've restored my backup. But I have not flashed a new firmware image.

Thanks for the response. Still no connection I did everything in your post. When clearing out the APNs, there were 5 or 6. 1 and 3 returned errors. In the debug log, they both come up with "vzwinternet", and that is what is in the connection profile. I did notice in the connection profile,...

Hi. Just bought the nexq6go-u, Quectel EM12-G, the adapter, antenna pigtail adapters, and the good power supply. Using stock antennas for now. I use Verizon, and have a postpaid data plan on an iPad. I get 2 bars LTE on the iPad and usable internet. I want to use that sim in the router. I have every...
