Re: Help an idiot with a not working MoFi 4500

And finally, regarding the 7455 modem in MOFI. BTW, if one wants to see how MOFI interacts with the modem he can simply login to MOFI using SSH, open minicom session and use the MOFI GUI - all AT commands sent to the modem will be printed/echoed on the screen. But having an opened minicom session wi...

Re: Help an idiot with a not working MoFi 4500

Now regarding MOFI. This is not a silent device by any means also. First thing it does after reboot it tries to resolve the domain name "router.mofinetwork.com" After that it tries to download 2 config files - one with the name "1.config" and the second one using MOFI ID as the n...

Re: Help an idiot with a not working MoFi 4500

If you got the APN down, the TTL changed, and the IMEI changed, can a carrier really do anything? They might only terminate your account on the basis of extreme usage but how would they be able to find out you're actually using a router device instead? Just to add a bit to BillA's answer. Whether o...

Re: Do I need to go with a custom built router or should just get MOFI 4500?

Just measured power consumption of my MOFI. It comes with a very small (110-220V - great for traveling) 12V 1A power adapter. For voltage measurements I used a DMM UT-139C with min/max function and the current clamp UT210E for the current measurements. Typical current consumption - 130mA- 180mA, max...

Re: Do I need to go with a custom built router or should just get MOFI 4500?

Hello, just in case if someone is wondering how quick (encryption wise) can be OpenVPN running on MOFI. This is result of encryption benchmark ( openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc) running on different devices: ---------------- MOFI: OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014 built on: Fri Jan 10 16:04:24 EST 2020 opti...

Re: MOFI 4500 vs Nighthawk M1 vs WE826-T2 with EM7565

Your Nighthawk has better antennas. While it may be totally true (but MOFI has 2 kind of external antennas - the stock one and upgraded, paddle style) in order to compare apples to apples it would be interesting to check what bands/CA were used by MOFI and M1 during the test. And if they were diffe...

Re: Do I need to go with a custom built router or should just get MOFI 4500?

Another unpleasant surprise. Decided to setup dynamic DNS, freedns.afraid.org in my case. There are several ways to achieve that, I used a custom service (you provide a URL that includes an authentication token and a special service (can be wget/curl or a custom script) periodically calls it to refr...

Re: WiFi Dropping on WE826-T2 w/ Sierra Wireless MC7455

We have a Ring doorbell, and stumbled across a post that said that the Ring can have issues with WiFi channel 12, which is what the router was defaulted to. In case of the USA be careful with channel 12, it seems to be "low power" only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels h...

Re: Do I need to go with a custom built router or should just get MOFI 4500?

If you get a Mofi and something is wrong with it their customer support is terrible. Still trying to get a refund out of them because mine was bad. I decided to go with MOFI and received one 3 days ago (GPS version / 520 CAD). I wonder what was wrong with your device? I have been actively testing i...

Re: Mofi 4500 question

My wife and I both work remotely and would kill our verizon hotspot allowance if we don't get this figured out soon. Let me start from saying that I am not an expert but: Using your phone for tethering will not work since this is not what you can run 24/7. While your mobile phone can have a pretty ...

Do I need to go with a custom built router or should just get MOFI 4500?

Hello, I would appreciate an advice from knowledgeable folks regarding whether or not I need to build a custom router for 300$-400$. Sorry for the very long post just want to provide all necessary info on the subject. This summer I plan to go on 2 month long vacation in Europe and most of the time w...

Re: MC7455 / EM7565 vs. Quectel EP06 IMEI Change

Hello guys, While this is a Sierra forum, I understand you can change the Quectel EP06 modem IMEI via sending AT commands such as AT +EGMR=1,7 "New IMEI#" I wonder if it also works for Quectel EM12 because then it would be the main reason to choose Quectel over Sierra modem for a new route...
