Re: Orbi LBR20 SMA Ports

@hazarjast I think it may have been your Orbi project that I saw on the facebook group. Did you end up putting the Orbi in a box and doing 4x4 mimo? I'm thinking of adding 2 SMA ports to the Orbi by finding a good spot to drill through the plastic case. My Orbi is going to be an inside-Orbi with 25...

Re: Signal Meters and/or Spectum Analyzers

I had to pick one as I'm making the move this week, and got the Wilson Pro. I chickened out and got an simpler tool for the money, but I can't really risk having no internet for a week while I figure out the RF Explorer. Although it looks like a cool device. For anyone interested I'll post my experi...

Re: Orbi LBR20 SMA Ports

I read on the Wireless Joint Facebook group that someone is reporting the 4x4 MIMO antenna ports(ie. the other two in addition to the two SMA connectors on the back) of the Orbi are relatively accessible. Does anyone have experience in getting 4X4 MIMO using 4 external antennas ports working? I'm no...

Re: Signal Meters and/or Spectum Analyzers

After a bit more research it appears as though RF Explorer spectrum analyzers can essentially do everything that the Wilson Pro and Surecall signal meters can do and more. Other than a simplified interface that steps you through LTE carrier bands, do these meters have any features I’m missing that t...

Signal Meters and/or Spectum Analyzers

Hi Everyone, I'm couldn't find a dedicate thread on signal meters or spectrum analyzers so hopefully this isn't too redundant. I'm hoping to have a conversation about the available products and get some advice on what meter is best to use for my purposes and hopefully for others. I don't have techni...

Re: Orbi LBR20 How-To / Megathread

Glad it worked. Not sure why a reboot was necessary as my tests with clean reset worked without reboot but I can add that as something to try for others in troubleshooting. For TTL most folks would use mangle on the router to avoid having to set on each client device for carrier plans that differen...

Re: Orbi LBR20 How-To / Megathread

Hi all, first time writing into this forum. I am thinking of getting an LBR20 because it looks like a great way to get a CAT 18 modem for the price. But I wanted to know what the circle_jerk script allows. I'm in fairly rural Washington and need to setup very directional MIMO antennas. The antenna p...
