Wireless Joint

It might be, some of the international manufacturers will offset by 65 degrees or 45 degrees or? Youd have to ask the manufacturer directly.

The ones from thewirelesshaven.com are set +45/-45 inside the enclosure. Mount straight up and square.

The wrt32x usb ports are only for storage natively. Ive seen posts elsewhere of people getting it working on OpenWRT firmware. Goldenorb doesnt seem to have support for the wrt32x, but you can go to ofmodemsandmen.com and ask to have it added with usb tethering support. https://wirelessjoint.com/vie...

If I remember right, on the official site, ofmodemsandmen, there are three firmware images for these type routers. 1 has VPN support (4MB), 1 has usb support(4MB), 1 has both (8MB). I think the mofi/we826 has only 4MB for the firmware and my guess is its optimized/compiled to run VPNs over USB samba...

Just for giggles, did you try aiming in all 360 degrees, 10-20 degrees at a time, to see if you can capture any mystery towers? Its sometimes surprising.

Thats super cool apextv, can you get him to join this forum and help people out, or is that just /subtlebrag?

Sounds cool, except Id make sure the router doesn't use the wall plug for a regulator. Ensure the input to it stays at a steady 12v, or whatever its rated for. I'm sure you thought that too though.

Might try the FB group, more eyes there.

Have you seen the LTE modem Hat for the Rpi? I'm wondering how well it works

Bill, you read my mind. LOL

I'm in talks with Quectel right now for prices.

I've never touched the Telits or Fibocoms .... yet

If its any consolation, Ive never been too impressed with the built in wifi of any of the zbt routers. The we826 is surprisingly decent, but its 2.4G only.

Id just buy a unifi AP or similar equipment thats made for that specific purpose.

Just my 2 pennies

Ive always defaulted mine t approx 2 to 5 degree uptilt, but thats just to make sure its not tilting down after pole install. Like swwifty says, try it and see.

Bill, you are correct.

yeah, I think the em12 was more in line with what I was thinking, but I know the EC25 (AF variant) has been mentioned with people only using FDD bands just like you said there, def an older cheaper module.

That is the exact route I went, started with the r850, then r910 and never satisfied with the device serving my home internet. I went with a wg3526, but I recommend the 826 if you dont need PoE to power it. Mine is on the room in an enclosure. I do, though, recommend using a Quectel modem (or a teli...

Cool! Congratz, glad it started working.

Ive not used the mofi firmware myself, but hopefully someone else on here that is familiar with it can help.

I use the same base device, zbt/wifix we826t2, but Im currently using wifix custom goldenorb firmware. I play with it tonight and see ir its similar.

I dont believe that it matters which end is on top, so likely keep the weep holes facing down. I believe the the angles used are an attempt to match the plane of the carrier equipment of the tower your using. Common practice seems to be 45 degrees from vertical plane. One tilted "left", th...

You shouldnt need mobile citizen, you can call Sprint directly and have it swapped in minutes. Just make sure you write down the device (r850)phone number. Its the account number. Call Sprint, tell them your device broke. Give them the telephone number of your r850, and then give them the info they ...

ahhhh, ten four.

I wont deny my previous Sprint cell phone experience left me wanting for more.

TTL tweaking is generally to trick the network into thinking you are using a phone, but it is largely dependent on the network/carrier. I think the carrier its most useful for is Tmobile. I'm not sure if Verizon scans for TTL values, as Ive never dealt with them myself. I've only seen posts of other...

Depends.... If you mean from one Sprint branded device to another Sprint branded device in order to swap to the new one, like one Sprint hotspot to another Sprint hotspot, then no. The SIM cards are provisioned to the device its activated in. In that case you simply call Sprint and tell them that yo...

Curious about your no comment on Sprint? :) I run my main setup on Sprint. Best speed test is 380Mpbs )average 150Mbps (speedtest.net, taken with a grain of salt) on an EM20G, type2 NAT for gaming, and its comparable to ATT plans in cost. Also ridiculously easy to swap devices and not get janged for...

Verizon isnt playing around

Maybe if you could figure out how to use Quectels development boards, EVB kit, in combination with use of the data via USB to a router....

https://www.codico.com/shop/media/datas ... e_V1.1.pdf

It gives multiple audio interfaces and explains them in the user guide.

It seems to be collective info that isn't really posted anywhere in particular.

I've read that 65, or 64, works well with Tmobile and 117 for Verizon. I've not seen anyone ask for Sprint, and Tmobile doesn't seem to scan for it, but that last bit I'm not sure of.

you typed in : AT!entercnd="A710" AT!BAND=10,"2 & 12",0,802 AT!BAND=10 AT!RESET One command at a time, slowly? Then after the reboot typed: AT!entercnd="A710" AT!BAND? And: Index, Name, GW Band Mask L Band Mask TDS Band Mask 0A, B2, 0000000000000000 0000000000000002...

Did you try to connect the enclosure directly to a pc, eliminating any wierdness with your router? I doubt itll be different since it provides a different load on the unit, but still.

Good quality usb cord replacement may be suspect as well

Under Network(on the left)->Interfaces->LAN (tab at the top)->Common Configuration->Physical Settings tab->Interface

Does it have: eth0.1, tap-server, tap0, and wlan0 in the box as linked interfaces?

Interfaces.png

In my opinion, yes.

There's no way for me to tell that for you, if your truly unsure then Id get an omni.

I believe The Wireless Haven sells lmr400 and other cables, I think its a dropdown on the product. Im not near my pc right now and dont want to mess with the mobile site.

Ill look at it later when I get home.

There's a few people posting on the FB page about locking on the nighthawk recently as well. Good info.

BillA wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:16 am Great! Knowing what that box is, now I can live again! ;D

LoL, killin me Bill

I was also wondering. Looks like a PtP beam

Correct, its just an example of how you can test if that is for sure the issue

Has it previously worked? Where did the SIM come from? Have you set the TTL value to 117? or tried 65?64?

I wish I was much more familiar, but I do not have a CP router ;/

I believe the MF279 has two antenna ports on the back side at each end of the device. SMA female connectors. If you know where your cellular tower of main service is, then a pair of directional antennae is best. A Wide band, highest gain you can afford. If you are totally unsure of tower direction, ...

Your install is clean, very nice.

If I remember right, band 13 is like the flagship band for Verizon, aka congestion city. Are there other bands available?

2, 4/66, 5?

Good call gscheb, theres a video on setting up the ipad plan on the nighthawk that demos that EXACT thing..... lemme dig..... found it:

https://youtu.be/oePO2PBYSp8

Its interactive. Clear the channels you dont need, the cells with the channels (B2, B14, etc) are interactive, click on them. The AT! Command shown has the bitmask for each band chosen. The page you likely found the spreadsheet: http://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=364&sid=ea2e74ea1...

Thatd be cool

Nm, "closed system" I read somewhere people were editing the nighthawks with an app called dc unlocker or something

Can you not ssh in and manually add rules?

Ill ask about, I just have the we826 firmware, no links.

I didn't see your reply Bill ... beat me to it

I'm having a similar issue, and can't seem to figure out why, or find any info to lead me to fix it. Nighthawk M1 Unlocked, using a T-Mobile SIM. Shows Mobile Broadband Disconnected. It was working fine for a week with this setup, then over night it showed the error. I have a signal, and I can conn...

which model?

It would be a curious project for sure. I don't think an analog RJ11 connected phone device would work per say since there is no dial tone on a cellular line. But some form of voice channel/port usage programming and some circuit wizardry would prob get the job done. Way outside my wheelhouse, but i...

Cool deal. I have flat panel directionals, and have heard good things about parabolic grid directional antennae. Yagis are very popular, I just havent used them myself.

Id likely go with a high gain wideband omni antenna unless you know the line of site to your tower, but being in a valley, that may not work unless the tower is on the ridge of your valley and in sight line

Cool. I would try the verizon plan, but best to test the sim from a phone already accessable and connected. Get that working, then find the best way to get a plan going. There are many posts on here for getting it working on VZWInternet, and on the facebook group. Many more eyes to read posts there ...

There are ZERO plans from any carrier, currently offered, that are fully truly unlimited, but functionally the ipad plan is unlimited. After 22GB your tower that you are connected to will prioritize the traffic of other connections that arent past their deprioritizing limit first if the node is cong...

ATT is the easy one. Ipad plan, prepay $35 a month, unless you get a post paid phone plan, then the ipad plan is $20 a month.

Verizon is a tough one. I believe people are using an unlimited data phone line as the goto option, but I honestly haven't used Verizon. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

These exchanges arent productive, move on to more technical jargon, less rhetoric and personal opining. Please.

Think he means changing SSID because of... resets? Causing you to have to change your user devices wifi login info etc. Use a dedicated access point for all your wireless devices and just use your modem/router combo for the internet pop. If your modem gets tinkered with and rebooted, the devices jus...

Don't forget a good power cycle when making changes trumps a simple at!reset or reboot button too. Sometimes stuff jsut doesnt seem to work, then I unplug it and plug it back in and boom, werkz. But you may have not set the mode and firmware like Bill said, it may have defaulted back to a branded fi...

Clear the band locks and what dose it connect to?

And a backup device

I concur, I saw no moderation on my end either

Awwww, that sucks. Its fixed, you posted the solution, but its not here?

Repost repost

Ten 4

Hell, go for it. I still remind that the ports themselves may not be useful. I can not for the life of me remember where I read that they are only used for a particular band used overseas. But Id go for it anyway.

So that sma connector would be great if you had a hole to mount it to.

Hirose ms-156, nvm

What is the ms-156 connector for?

Ideally the connector on the device would be an SMA female.

thewirelesshaven.com has a ts9 to sma adapter....

https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/rf-connectors/s ... e-adapter/

Cool. Yeah, if any changes at all are made, I do it twice, save twice, and reset the whole kit before testing anything.

So its updated time now?

Any luck on connecting?

I guess to directly answer your OP questions... The WE826GO does not have a modem, you must buy one separate and install it inside. The we826 takes a pcie style modem, but there are pcie to m.2 key b adapters that is as simple to install as just the modem. Any modem Cat6 and above can handle your st...

Ten four. I think your go to is the WE826 with a Sierra Wireless mc7455 and an ATT ipad plan if that is the provider of your choice. Its easy to put together, yet easily upgradeable. Its completely open for firmware, no weird modem firmware lockdown. The mc7455 is a great modem that has run my whole...

Bricking the unit makes it unresponsive to being turned on at all. Semantics I know. :) I think Jim is just trying to suggest paths of lower resistance. No one is judging your choices. Doing these connections still gets the 'shady backroom deal' treatment by people and makes it hard to figure out so...

If its been verified as "flagged" in their system, could you ask them to unflag it?

Ive been told the antennas, even when getting a set of the custom hirose connectors, arent used here on USA frequencies and takes some work to get operating even for the limited band they use.

Hey there, welcome. The Mofi4500 IS a WE826 with a Sierra MC7455 inside. Except the firmware is customized. The Wifix WE826 is great. I have one with a Sierra MC7455 inside, on ATT. The wifi is 2.4Ghz only and I feel like its pretty strong, but some complain its lacking. You can always add wifi exte...
