Re: Sierra Wireless Modems - Programming Carrier Bands

This Bloody well wonderful. Thank you Jim.

I'm getting much faster speeds now on b66/b71 (was on b41 which was not even giving me data). Getting one SCC state (was hoping for more but I guess this tower does not support or have, set it to b66,b71,b4,b12

Help: Band b41 no internet WG3526P/EM7411

Anyone else using this band (tmobile)? Antenna/router used to always connect to b66 with CA from b71 or b12 with about the same RSRP/RSSI but higher RSRQ as b41. Today it was b41 has zero internet, resetting it won't switch (at first I thought it was just slower but my load balance was just failing ...

What is RSSI vs RSRP? - Just want a yes/no confirm

Is this correct (I'm fiddling with my antennas again, just moved spots). Just want to confirm: Rxm RSSI is the LTE signal strength (primary input) RxD RSSI is the LTE signal strength (secondary input) RSRQ (dB): is the signal quality So I can ignore RxM RSRP db as these are the indoor antennas (i'm ...

My Tmo router is the same as yours, 3526, Bolton on it, 7411 and I CA 66 with 71 and get great performance. Hey, the Wilson yagis are 698 if I remember correctly.

Re: Which to buy thewirelesshaven.com for MIMO + question about 2nd modem antennas

If you want to keep band 71 optimized, you don't want to go with the first antenna. The second antenna, the The Wireless Haven 5g Yagi is solid, I have 4 of them and they work great with all bands. I would go that route. I tested the The Wireless Haven 5g yagi against an old 698mhz yagi for band 2,...

The auto reverse change is doing that. What I do is hard wire up via ethernet.

How to change IPv4-Address on thewirelesshaven.com vs. of Goldenorb

I tried Network -> Interfaces -> Lan -> General setup _> IPv4 address

But it won't save. Just keeps reverting. Want to change last two numbers so it won't conflict with my wifi router IP logon.

I've done it on Mofi and TLR600VPN, was super easy/intuitive.

Re: TTL and more settings, what else?

TTL 64 or 65 seems to work with T-Mobile ok at this time. It doesn't hide the data use with just TTL it just lets you use it like it's a phone (not hotspot). For T-Mobile anyway they text me a warning with over 50gb of data use (phone use or not) and "can" throttle me during peak hrs/conge...

Re: Help Building a 5G router for TMobile

I'm sure you did this already but make sure it's a 5g band that's worth the hassle / expense. My phone says it's on 5g where I'm at (rural) but it's really just the 600hz band b71 that it's picking up (its not faster then 4gLTE anyway).

Re: Network Bridge/load balancing x2 connections

One question I do have is TTL, I have it set to 65 (but maybe it should be 66 since it has modem router -> bridge -> PC and modem router -> bridge -> WIFI router -> TV/Phones/Tablets). Will see I guess depending on if "hotspot" data shows up on my plan or not.
