Wanted to post this here so others could benefit as well I am on verizon and based on what lte band I use I get either better quality or better signal strength Stats look kinda like this: Usable bands are 2,4,5,13,66 2 has no advantages at all so wont be using it for sure 4 rssi approx -85, rscp app...

Just dont wanna anger anyone.... like i said I like it here and think I can help.

Hopefully you and gscheb dont see me as a trouble maker as i have been known at time to be a little to strong in my opinions and a little to free at expressing them.

Like in the last post on the numbers for lte

Does your verizon plan have unlimited tethering data or does it like mine slow data on tether to 2g/3g speeds. Wondering if it is working properly but that verizon is seeing you as tethering and thus slowing your data to unusable speeds. TTL trick never worked with me on verizon thats why I suspect ...

rofl I refuse to answer that on the grounds I may incriminate myself

Besides I like it here and the stance on "playing with imei's" is clear

Honestly haven't been impressed with WiFi out of any of the lte routers. Always use access point router anymore. Seen allot of people that struggle with good signal don't see speeds over 100. Right, thats why I was recommending the router with the gigabit ethernet ports. You will never get a FULL 1...

Well for example my rsrq is never better then -12 and usually -13 to -15 my sinr based on the at command is 12-13 and like i said earlier my rsrp is anywhere from -112 to -116 (depending on lte band) My concern is this... my system is working great, but if I used that chart as a guide I would be lik...

Personally if don't plan on going over 100 Mbps like WE826 and a Quectel EM12. I dont like the lower end router only because their wifi is so weak (and only 2.4ghz) and they only have 10/100 ethernet ports. For a little more you should get the wg3526 which has gigabit ethernet ports. As far as the ...

Sure, Just keep in mind I am like the poster child for worst case scenerios to get good signal. I have mountains and thick trees and my closest tower line of sight is about 10 miles away. Before all this it was difficult to even make a good phone call. With the booster setup I would get anywhere up ...

$40 bucks a month and cancel if you dont like. Just have them set you up with a new number to start with and no harm no foul if you hate it,

Better usually means more flexible, able to utilize more bands, able to use carrier aggregation, use carrier aggregation on upload and possibly more then just 2x and of course better would mean 5g capable if thats even something you need/want

Yes sounds like congestion/de-prioritization. Yes external antennas get better signal than a phone. (your phone signals are not terrible by all means) Then with antennas on your router / modem could be even better. Best in my opinion to have wide band antennas. Wide band antennas just means they ha...

Visible is the trick for now if you cant change the imei.

Agreed I used visible with no issues for a month before I found the IMEI trick

lol but can you build a REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY better router

Personally I am budget conscious and use a wg3526 and an ep06-a combination. Its like the mofi 4 and mofi 7 had a baby with the best of both units.

TTL is only for bypassing hotspot limits and throttling. Are you saying that you are connected with your Verizon account and the TTL settings never stopped your account from throttling or shutting down your hotspot data? I meant in my specific case, no matter what ttl I used verizon always detected...

The thing about antennas is the more gain they have the harder they are to correctly aim. With the cheap plastic yagis that kinda look like a white flag you can aim within like 70 degrees of the tower with a parabolic its usually more like 12 degrees. Check the specs on the individual antennas. Also...

Back when I was first setting up my system I messed with trying to get QMI working as well and never did get it to work. I ended up just using MBIM mode and never looking back. Is there a reason you are trying to use QMI, other then reading in some forums its faster and better and the like? As hones...

As I have said in previous posts I have NEVER got my verizon account to work with the TTL trick. Had to resort to other methods

A dedicated wifi AP, like the ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE-US, only uses max 20W during full load. Might not be as cheap, but the wifi throughput is top notch. I use dedicated access points for my wifi. WAY simpler, and no dual router NAT to turn off and deal with. That works too. I think mine is 18w based...

Do you mean IMEI? Or does a modem have both a MAC and an IMEI? This is something I have tried to research, but do not have a conclusive answer. My Quectel EM160 obviously has an IMEI, but I cannot find any evidence of a MAC Address. My cell phone has a WIFI MAC, but I cannot find any evidence that ...

Had the same issue when using a wg3526. Connected a secondary router via ethernet and let it do all the dhcp and wireless requests and like you I saw a big increase overall speeds. Since the secondary router only cost me $40 I honestly never looked back and am still running that config today. The on...

If you not ever seeing the "congestion" on the phone but are seeing it on the modem device then verizon is likely seeing your plan as a tethered data type plan. Phones use a different data type unless of course they are tethered. In THEORY changing the ttl should make your modem device loo...

MNVO's woud use the same towers and are prioritized even lower then primary customers

I read somewhere a ways back that the mofi firmware will ONLY work with modems that were made specifically for mofi... aka they have to have a specific serial number range that somehow matches something like a whitelist. Said another way if you dont have a modem card specifically made for mofi it wo...

I wouldnt do it as a passthrough, Make the zbt device your "modem". You make the other device handle all the wifi and dhcp and make 2 seperate ip networks. Connect one port on your zbt to the WAN port of your "dedicated WIFI router" Thats it for hardware setup Set the devices to ...

I have found with ALL these routers the "built in" wifi is weak. Over and over you will see that most recommend using a seperate dedicated router for wifi use. Personally I use a cheap c8 router even though I have a completely working wg3526. The wifi is simply much better on the c8

Your not doing anything wrong here is what I believe is happening. Your mifi8000 is a verizon device, thereby verizon knows its a hotspot device and the ttl trick wont work since it knows that a hotspot device should only use hotspot data. Heres the fun part about verizon, if it doesnt recognize the...

I must be misunderstanding..... the EXTERNAL ip address is your PUBLIC ip address and is issued by your isp. You cant just change it.

Sim slot broke? You mean the internal modem is damaged? Why not just replace and or upgrade the internal modem card in your wg3526? Seems that would be the easiest way unless the issue is a budget thing. Its just a removeable card, easily replaced just make sure you get the right connection type htt...

The above recommended antenna solution should resolve your signal strength issues just fine, I can add nothing to that recommendation, other then you may want to research MIMO for your antenna solution. Using a dedicated router will solve your other issues: 1) It will allow you to set TTL like menti...

My understanding of CA is that it is COMPLETELY controlled by the tower and there is nothing you can do on the modem side to influence it at all, unless your restricting bands which could restroct CA choices.

Someone please correct me if I have it wrong

Sounds like you have found your solution then. How is your ecio and sinr? as I have seen really good download and upload speeds but like I said above poor reliability for things like streaming video?

Ok I will just keep monitoring this thread

Ok so with above results I am getting an sinr of 13?
Awesome as I am in the mountains and heavily wooded. I would have exp[ected a far worse result

If you have a version I can use/test at my own risk I would be willing

i dont see anything in here that appears to be SINR +QENG: "servingcell","NOCONN","LTE","FDD",311,480,2A1DF24,113,2450,5,3,3,AC0B,-100,-13,-71,13,- that said I have no idea what a few of those numbers relate to specifically the 2450,5,3,3 the rest I think I ca...

Where can I get the version pictured above for the wg3526?

Like the subject reads I am looking for some kind of AT command that will show me SINR. Something like atstatus but for the ep06-a.

Wifix shows ecio but thats not really the same thing.

I have read the only way to be sure your modem isnt banned is for verizon to have the device registered in their database under your account. You can call in and register the device. Simple. Of course if verizon has the device registered they will know what it is and most of the things like changing...

A few questions: If you have a mofi that usually has the modem card internal why are you not using this configuration? Are you using goldenorb or the specific wifix version of goldenorb? what are you trying to acomplish with goldenorb that mofi firmware cant do as honestly for the little time I used...

Sometime the default band the router chooses is not the optimal band. In my own situtation I am a verizon user and I have the following bands available: 2,4,5,13,66 for me 2 and 13 are absolute garbage. Meaning either poor quality or porr signal strength. % is the best balance of strength and qualit...

May I ask which booster(s) you were using? Hiboost 10k... Absolute requirement for making phone calls from my house (native signal without it was like a -116). So like you I already had the equipment in place and was like I wonder if I could use this to help my internet solution as well. For the in...

I have played with a setup like the one you are proposing. I also tried a small mimo antenna and placing it right under the wireless broadcast panel. I can give as much detail as you like but the short answer is 2 cheap yagi antrennas and some lmr400 cable converted into smc and feeding the router a...

I use a wg3526 and an ep06. Like you I looked at other options and upgrades and realized this setup does all I need. Anything "upgraded" in my case would be a "want to have" not a "need to have" The EP06 has carrier aggregation and supports band 66 thats all I need The ...

I also have a wg3526 and have used it BOTH with a usb to pcie adaptor (externally) and internal card slot. Use the wifix firmware (its a modified version of goldenorb). Mine is dated 5/16/2020 though I have the NON poe version and am not sure if the firmware will differ for your version. As far as b...

We would need to know things like what bands your currently using, if you would have access to band 66 if your modem supported it, and some stats for things like signal strength and such as its very possible depending on distance and tower utilization that you may not get any better download speeds....

about ca combinations.... direct from The Wireless Haven page for ep06

2×CARRIER AGGREGATION (“CA”) BANDS:

B2+B2/B5/B12/B13/B26/B29;
B4+B4/B5/B12/B13/B26/B29;

Hi, I need help with a rural internet setup. What I know so far is that I have a tmobile 5g in my area but I live 10 miles from the cell towers. what modem should I use that's fast but doesn't put a hole in my wallet, and also what external antennas should I use because I live ten miles away from m...

I looked at Cellmapper and found it about useless in my location. Not that it does not show the towers, it just that where I point my antenna for best reception has little correlation to where they are at. Funny enough my outdoor antenna is pointed almost midway between two towers (near as I can fi...

Another band 66 user.... I wonder if its a combination of the higher frequency and in my case also the better quality (ecio 2 to 5 db better). Just kinda counter intuitive as I live in a mountainous and Heavily wooded area so you would think the higher frequencies that penetrate these obstacles less...

I am having similar issues to OP, though must less in the way of overall results: if I let the router pick its own lte channels it picks lte band 5 (10mhz) and sometimes will aggregate to band 66 (10mhz) stats were as follows: CSQ 28 Signal Strength about 77% Rssi -65 ecio -14 rscp about -98 Speedte...

Late to the party but I have a setup with a wg3526 and a epo6-a modem. There is lots of technical data and reasons I picked this modem over others but here is a quick breakdown: 1) PCIE form factor meanig the antenna connectors on the modem card are larger and easier to connect to 2) Price, this was...

for anyone still interested MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-COMBO (this model has no cellular module and cannot work with a SIM card) MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-7411-COMBO (this is the model that you are on right now) for $399.99US MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM7411-GPS-COMBO (this can process GPS signal as well) $439.99US MOFI5500-5X...

Been gone a while you ever get it all working?

So did those numbers stay consistent?

I have been away a long time now but just finished my setup that is very much like yours and faced some of the same challenges as well so was curious how you made out in the long term

I prefer the size of the wg3526 and it's metal case. I have found the smaller plastic units have more heating issues

Been a while since that thread and the other one you and I were in about the wg3526. I am now also running a cheap archer router (C8) on the head end for all the wifi part and the wg3526 as a dedicated modem. For me the wg3526 worked great by itself for things like streaming video and even got good ...

I have the wg3526 with an ep06 inside and as outlined above I am using the booster as my source. The other thing I changed was I turned off the wifi on the wg3526 and used a dedicated router for my wifi, connected via ethernet. This also increased both my download and upload speeds. there is a reall...

I wouldn't hook one directly into your moderm. If you ask Wilson about that configuration they will tell you that you will likely damage your router as boosters boost 65db and the average router is only made to take about 15db through the antenna ports. While I don't believe you would do permanent d...

Purchased new NEXQ6GO-U and EC25-AF from The Wireless Haven. Received it a few days ago and put it modem in router today. Every thing boots and I can login in to router but in the modem network status it says No Modem Present Have removed and replaced modem a couple times but no luck. Modem debug s...

Ok now that you know you using the correct band let me ask you this.... are you using the built in wifi on the NEQ6GO? As you may have read the built in wifi can be very substandard. I didnt believe it either when I read about it as I could stream 3 movies at once so how could that be bad. Well once...

Booster is good for a phone desperate to make a voice call. Boosters are not recommended for direct router connections. Basically you use a booster setup OR you use a mimo setup The two setups are pretty much mutually exclusive to one one another, meaning a booster can only utilize a single antenna...

Its a little longwinded and for the kuwfi wg3526 but I BELIEVE the concets are the same. Let me know if this helps.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVh4woP_41c

It may be as simple as on the screen you posted clicking on the button, selecting the correct firmware file and letting it flash

You shouldnt be power cycling, obviously... go into bootloader mode as described above and load a clean copy of rooter/wifix. Make sure you have the correct firmware version and that if the chinese screens from bootloader mode comfuse you look up the step by step process.... its really easy, had to ...

I have not heard of anyone having good results with antennas that weren't matched, meaning its not recommended to have only one amplified.

You have a few options... I BELIEVE the LB1120 is capable of band 13 but that assumes its not locked to att. If it is locked you could try and get it unlocked via like an ebay unlock code. If you dont wanna mess with all that then the cheapest modem I can think of that I would actually use would be ...

Like didneywharl said but you may have to use bootloader mode to load it

I’m a bit confused about this setup. Is the idea to get MIMO with the Omni but boost the signal with the other antenna and booster? The idea is the booster is your antenna source so to speak. The omni antenna is simply a way to "connect" your booster and your router. You could try the sam...

Normally I would NEVER recommend the rigged setup I have but seems you have tried almost everything else with no joy so here goes: What your looking at is the boosters wireless panel (the large square white unit) and a small generic omni mimo antenna (the small white square with 4G stamped on it). T...

agreed sell it and buy yourself TWO new better quality routers for the same price

I was on visible for a short time and as suggested above all I did was use the apn vsblinternet and left the modem in the default mbim mode.

Also using an ep06-a when I was on it. Now mind you I used the modem in a wg3526 enclosure running rooter.

So are you saying if I went 200ft with cable i would lose 100% of my signal? Geez that seems extreme lol. I had heard about the wifi capabilities of the router. Do you disable that somehow? Or just ignore the wifi it broadcasts and use the router you have plugged into the lan port? The cable loss i...

Good! It's working just fine for her google meets. So far so good. Im letting visible go and just using Verizon. I upgraded the plan to the Do more to get the most out of it. I seem to get more priority for my data than I did before. Visible is definitely a little slower especially in ping times, A...

Thanks 👍 Today is her first day of using it for school so we will see how that goes. Has her first google meet in an hour. The up is still pretty bad. Occasionally hit 1mbps but averages around 0.5mbps. I'm going to dink with the antennas another time to hopefully find a slightly better spot. But a...

Thanks for the responses. Now that i think about it, i really don't have the luxury to tinker around a bunch to get the RPi setup going since my girlfriend works from home. It just needs to work. That said, i'm thinking about going with the WE1326 and remove my Netgear R7000 from the mix. Would the...

Assuming this unit has bootloader mode like the wg series and you can get a file version of the original software to flash back to, seems like it would be worth a try
