Most sub-5GHz modems come with 5 or 6 antenna connectors, and up to 14 on mmWave modems. You can run it on a minimum of one pair (ANT0 /1) which will only pick up 4G, however for 5G you need to connect a second pair (ANT2/3). The third pair (ANT4/5) is used for GPS, therefore it's not absolutely ne...

I wouldn't worry about the modem's firmware too much, they usually come with a production version anyway. If you want to be a guinea pig for the latest bleeding edge version with possible bugs, it's probably best to contact the manufacturer directly to send you the latest package (flasher and firmw...

Both the Quectel RM500Q-AE and Simcom SIM8200EA-M2 work equally well in the WG1608 router with the latest firmware (no scripting required). Here's the latest firmware dated 2021-01-15: https://www.ofmodemsandmen.com/upload/WG1608-GO2021-01-15.zip The SIM8200EA-M2 is readily available from China, wh...

Well if stilling having sprint bands is the issue maybe could try blocking out the sprint bands. Might trick it into connecting to roaming on T-Mobile I tried locking specifically on band 66, 71 and 12, but still no luck with pcs4people sim getting on Tmobile network. My guess is as long as Sprint ...

On the Rooter forums there were several post from jheld talking about the module. He has written 2 updates to the existing modemsignal.sh and celltype.sh files, as well as two scripts to add the Simcom responses to the appropriate fields in Network Information. If you want to see what I did, take a...

I upgraded my power supply to a high quality full 3Amp one. ;) And once again, I can't stress enough the importance of choosing the right modem for your particular network. The most popular modems in the US are the Quectel EM12-G (4G), EM16-G (EM160R 4G), RM500Q-AE (5G) and the Simcom SIM7912G-M2 (...

I had the same issue with pcs4people as well, wondering if anybody knows how to get it connecting tmobile bands?

Hello guys, I just built a new rig last weekend with wg1608 and em160r-gl with pcsforpeople sim, everything is working good thanks to all the post regarding em160's at command. But there is one thing I am trying to figure out and it is the modem that refuses to connect Tmobile bands like 2, 13, 66 a...

Try running the latest firmware version WG1608-GO2020-12-02, it usually contains bug fixes. https://www.ofmodemsandmen.com/upload/WG1608-GO2020-12-02.zip The EM16 is a new modem, and probably will come with the latest firmware anyway. When contacting Quectel support, they require you to include the...

The easiest solution to carrier blocking is to tether a cheap Android phone to a mobile router via a usb cable which will mask it from the carrier, and there's nothing they can do about it. You can even get a used 5G phone on Amazon or Ebay for less than a new 5G modem. Dairyman is currently workin...

New sub here. There's so much great info here! Thanks to everybody that contributes! Did you ever get your Verizon postpaid tablet to stop registering as hotspot? I'm waiting for my equipment then I will be attempting the same thing. I stopped using the tablet line because Verizon suspended the lin...

Have you tried calling Tmo customer service to see if they can allow you to switch device?

So in the end, factory resetting the modem did the trick? That's great!

Yes sir! resetting both my router and modem did work out pretty good, thank you for the help.

Thats good, at least now you can build another setup

Putty to rma reset the modem . Can you explain what that means? I used putty to locate(comm port) and send at commands to the modem with a usb adapter, then putting in ati at!impref? at!entercnd="a710" at!rmareset=0 at!reset I am not sure this is 100% correct, but at least it worked for m...

As a general reference. Your above pictures show the router is seeing the modem just fine for general purposes, but for some reason the AT command port is missing. This is on the modem, not the router. the router looks in a specific spot for the AT commands and no where else. If that port has been ...

I am sorry don't know how to fix this. Had the same issue and gave up and sent the modems back to Aliexpress. Wonder if that is where yours came from initially. Do they look dented on the outside? If so they probably did. Modems not detected again lol, I bought the em7511 from amazon not aliexpress...

Updates:
Able to connect to internet after flashing in recovery mode but still unable to enter at commands, anybody has clue of how to solve this? Thank you so much.

Hi guys, First off, I am having a headache on the setup right now and hopefully, some of you had the experience or answer to share with me, thank you so much and appreciate it. So here's the story, Last week I have bought the router, adapters from The Wireless Haven and last but not least, a EM7511 ...

The modem inside is a Telit LM960 modem if I recall correctly. It is'nt 5G ready as far as I know. For the AT commands you'll have to go with those. I';m fairly certain the ATTERM is a function of the router and will likely work fine with that modem. I would go with a full set of antennas, 4 matche...

Hi guys, I have reseached for a long time about what should I do and become more confused along the way, hope you guys can provide some suggestions on how to improve my internet speed and thank you so much.
