Tell me the output is from AT+QENG="servingcell"

Which adapter is it?

No, It should be in the router. Atleast it is in mine.

?
Huh. Your online right now? On the we1026?

I'm watching shows with the wife so I may be on and off as well.

Make sure that SIM card is being recognized

Also.... Prob most importantly.... Go here, the AT Terminal And type in what I have in mine: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/0RGhVapvDa3YnMYX0YezdLTZvPeLX-3EK47DeJBzm1llklJ3lieO1q6VrVWZcHwcaerLEcTYQKDJ4OKdz_hUf9HoimTaRuSjlhnkzVg_vM4iyBc1xvfpIbfiVxrHB_CZqc4BWg16JA=w2400 And Also this command in the...

Should the Comm Port on the Modem, Network Status screen be set to this if I'm using a PCI-E to M.2 interface?

Comm Port : /dev/ttyUSB2

Yes ttyUSB2 is correct, it wont change.

Lets go through some screens.....

Sorry, i kind of hit you with the firehose.

Hold on......

You can replace the modem with any mpcie modem, and even m.2 key b modems with an adapter. I wouldnt go much higher than a cat 12 modem though, and that is even overkill. Your just looking to get more bands. The Sierra Wireless modem modules are great and almost literally pop right in, especially th...

Here is the AT command guide for the EM20 as well....

Just be careful playing with the commands too much. You can brick it

Pro tip: The EM20G does not actually reboot unless you either use command: at+cfun=1,1 but always use at+cfun=0 first. Then use the reset command OR use at+cfun=0, wait a minute, then at+cfun=1, wait a minute, then pull the power from the router, wait a minuite, plug the power back in. These 2 ways ...

What is here in Signal Info?...

For the price, it wouldn't hurt to try. Yagis can be great, sometimes they're just OK.

They don't HAVE to be a matching pair, I've just never seen anyone preach their love of a mismatched pair. MIMO seems to rock better with matched pairs. Also, make sure you are powering the modem enclosure through a dedicated source, not just relying on the usb cable power from the router port to it...

Make sure you don't have the rpi3 and the WRT using the same ip addresses. IE both gateway addresses as 192.168.1.1

I'm not familiar. If you don't get any replies and cant find info through the search, try the Facebook group. It is very active and has lots of info. Use the search there too.

When you get lower speeds, and it returns after a reboot, for a while, does it ONLY go back up in speed after a reboot? It sounds like your being de-prioritized, which can be bypassed sometime temporarily by resets. Does your UL speed also go down, does it stay the same and only the DL speed drops? ...

ooops! Thank you for the correction!

You can always lock onto B25 for heavy uploads, then swap back when done.

Why not just replace the mifi? Wanting to find something possibly better?

You have one of the .best directional antennas made. You DEFINITELY don't need a booster at 5 miles, especially with one of those antennas. I would get my money back on the booster and get a matched antenna. Matched antenna pairs are "da wae" period. I wouldnt bad lock unless you are havin...

Yeah, you need to have a SIM to get the device setup. I mean, technically you don't need a SIM to set all your settings, but you need the SIM to get moving and tuned into the towers. Search for "PagePlus" on this forum. I've seen BillA talk a lot about people using it with limited issues. ...

Cool, glad to help.
Yeah, I think its switch0 is just taking a minute or so to get setup before the LAN responds to plugged in devices.

The NEXG H721 is popular, though you have to use the m.2 modules in the underside interface (usb 2.0) unless you want to solder a protection circuit for the upper interface. It seems to be melting cards in the usb3.0 slot. Still gets you up to 490Mbps theoretical speeds. Unless of course you want to...

ATT has recently cracked down on the use of prepaid ipad and phone SIMs being used in devices that are not the original device registered to the SIM... via the devices IMEI number. It is not legal in the US to change the number, though many people may be doing it. You are your own person and may do ...

Yeah, next best route is a used unlocked iphone and a prepaid month of att service on it to test. Google how to get detailed signal info off your phone so you can get an understanding of exactly what type if signal you get in your house with Verizon. Test mode or engineer mode, something like that. ...

I don't think it's possible to add or change, but I'll ask about.

Reports so far show that none of the post paid ipad plans are being shut down. For now. Some people work around the imei problem. Not legal in the US

B41 is apportioned for all DL, little UL. I can regularly test DL speeds of 275Mbps, but UL of about 10Mbps. I only use B41. I think single channel UL on 41 is avg 3Mbps up, up to 5Mbps. Carrier Aggregation works on the UL side too, so I think that's where higher numbers can come in.

How far are you from your cell tower?

The We826 will work with any and all of the major carriers, IF it has the right modem inside, as the modem is an add on device and does not come with the router. Do you happen to know what modem is inside?

Good stuff! Antenna Tweaks are the next fun part.

What APN do you have on the 8000?

And you entered it into the airmaster, no caps?

I use a Calyx SIM and have swapped devices. You just need the SIM info and phone number of the account, IE the SIM phone number. Lots of people do. Sometimes the Sprint rep acts dumb and refuses, sometimes they dont. Dont tell them your account is through a 3rd party reseller, tell them only what th...

I missed your last post before I posted

Calyx tends to use the APN r.ispsn but the others may apply. You may be able to look that up in your mifi8000 menus. It is provisioned to the SIM permanently.

I would just try it, though if it is an officially Sprint supported device/firmware it won't likely work with a SIM used in another device. You may need to call Sprint business and have them send you a new SIM to swap service to. Tell them your current unit is failing and need to get service on a ne...

100-600Mbps with Visible? On what device? That's fantastic speeds. You can always do better one way or a other, but you put up the biggest barrier, "...without spending a bunch of money." You MAY spend a little and find what you need. You might not, and may have to spend more to keep figur...

What are you using to power it?

Are you using a second Calyx account? Swapped the SIM from your 8000? SIM from another source?

I'm not familiar with this device, but you should be able to run Cat6 and up cables somewhere like 300' I use 75' and 100' cat7 cables myself

It doesn't mean your cable isn't bad, it just means it should be able to run that distance.

Direct messages where requested is pretty secure, no?

call em. They did it to me the day after renewal. I didnt ask. I just let it go.

This isn't making any sense. The other day when I was testing this I just turned if off and haven't touched it till just now again. I turned it on with the external antenna and today the signal is lower but the download speeds are higher. Can outside temps effect this antenna? The other day it warm...

Yes

I use the dual flat panel antennas. They're awesome!

Bolton tech is the brand. I posted a link above. If you go to the facebook group, a guy on there named Greg Nitsche has a pair and LOVES the.

I would definately recommend a second antenna. Mimo is where its at. Make sure you space them properly though, and dont use boosters.

Thats a great antenna gain! Is it this..... https://www.signalboosters.com/bolton-technical-ultragain-26-directional-antenna/ ? Prob the best antenna you can buy for a single antenna.

Hmmmm.

Could you post the text from

...while testing each antenna?
Maybe there's a fine detail were missing.

That's where I would start digging. There has to be something goofy. There's no reason your signal and speeds should go down if all is generally well.

Yeah, I would check the cell site info when your testing and make sure you are connecting to the same cell towers.

There is also a VERY active and goldmine level info on the Wireless Joint facebook group

Modem->Network Info-> Cell yadda yadda dadda

Hmmm. Maybe your connecting to a tower that is different and it is MAJOR congested. Look at your Cell tower info and ensure your testing on the same tower on both types of antennas. Could simply be tower congestion.

Huge difference between using LMR100 and LMR400. HUGE. Which kind of 50 Ohm cables may be your crux. Pointing to a tower 3, or more, miles away is picky work. Read: Pain in the ass sometimes.

Assuming your using 50 Ohm cables that are atleast LMR400 level youd be losing about 3-4 dbi on your 50 foot run. Plus losses on an extra connector, though minimal. Add that to the fact that you MAY be mis-aligning your directional antennas, while the rubber omnis may be scavenging signal reflection...

I don't doubt they are good cables, HAMs are nuts over thems cables, but my question isn't answered.

Also, how are you pointing them? How did you tune the pointing?

Over my head. ;) I usually see on here that when people get into needing top power WiFi they go to dedicated access points like the Ubiquiti's and such. I honestly think the WE826s wifi is decent for me but its far lacking. My Surf SOHO MK3 router has damn good wifi power and I honestly only use it ...

I've not seen that. I have heard of people putting the phone on tether to a router and plugging it together inside an enclosure and setting up as high as they can to get the best signal they can.

BillA is the phone tether expert here I believe. Hopefully he can chime in.

There are sooo many variables to account for... First. Don't compare your cat 16 modem equipped iphone X to your cat 6 Quectel modem in a router that has way more speed limits on it. Apples to orangutans comparison. Your phone will smoke just about anything you can buy. That said you have to make CE...

Likely they scanned and saw the IMEI of your modem was not a phone. Youll have to call them and ask.

If your using the factory firmware, then the Cradepoint website. Google "firmware update notes cba 850LP6" find which version of firmware you have and look for that versions notes. Or search for supported modems and the above, etc, etc. I dont have one of these, but this is pretty common

Exactly what kind of cables are you using? 50' is very long, but are you using antenna cables or TV cables? Different coax cable types have different resistances.

More speed is more fun! A few things.... 1. Your phone has a Category 20 LTE modem with a 4x4 mimo antenna setup and full power blasted to the thing. Your mc7455 in your mofi is a category 6 modem and uses a single pair of antenna connectors you have connected to what sounds like a pair of mismatche...

Please don't use PVC. Your antenna will be swaying all over. I actually used fence posts, welded two together to get 14'. There are lots of creative ideas out there. Just make sure you ground it

An LM960 modem installed a WG3526-P router would fit the bill
