Re: I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to do it right

Thank you. I'm putting in my order now. I have another catch 22 and that is that the best signal comes in on the opposite side of the house from where the router would need to go. So I think I'm stuck with a 50ft run. Otherwise I'd have to put it up higher on the side the router needs to be on and ...

Re: Need Router Recommendation

If I am not mistaken the WG1326 has the same innards as the WG3526, or at least the same chipset, going from memory here so if someone can confirm. But if that is so then rooter is not likely to be the cause of the wifi issue if yours works and the same chipset in gscheb wg3526 doesnt work. Same chi...

Re: WG3526 WiFi Connection Issues

In order to diagnose your issue, set different 2G/5G WiFi names like "WiFi-2G" / "WiFi-5G" so you can pick them up separately on a test device (pc/tablet). If you set both to the same name, then only one name will show up on your test device, and it's more difficult to tell whet...

I had a mofi for like 3 weeks, sim4, didnt like it and returned it, but also never had wifi issues with it either. Now I will add I am really in the sticks, I cannot see another wifi network from my home at all. The next closest wifi is probably 1/2 mile away Also will throw this in for what its wor...

Well one of the WiFi are not even there. This should have 2.4 & 5. And one is like faintly there very weak signal. Barely registering on phone when right next to it. I am not having any of these issues at all. As I stated in the other thread I am in a smaller house only 1500 sq ft so the longes...

All the above just terrible. Can you give me some details? I just hooked up an old netgear wifi n extender/portable ap and tested. I didnt see any difference in performance or on speed tests. Now granted I have only a 1500 sq ft home and the router is smack dab in the middle so the range is not bei...

Re: I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to do it right

So far for me the WiFi in these things don't seen to work right. Always disable WiFi and stick in another router to lan port. And if you get similar speeds under 100 those lan ports will be fine in a we826 router. I see lots of people saying that. What kind of issues specifically? throughput or ran...

Re: I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to do it right

Its all about compromises. If you need 50' you need 50' Your starting with a lot more signal then I did. I coudnt make a phone call and my best signal on the ground was 116 when I started. 120 means basically no signal. I also had to setup a booster just to make phone calls. Your in for a long fun r...

Re: I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to do it right

As far as what you lose with that box over the wg3526: You get only 10/100 ethernet ports (not gigabit) No 5ghz wifi Basically this unit is considered an entry level unit. The wg3526 is a higher end unit, but if you can live with the 2 things above, Its fully functional and since it runs wifix/roote...

Re: I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to do it right

I love my setup. Wouldnt change a thing. Does just what I need at a good cost and nothing extra. The CA combinations work pretty well for my available bands, the Wg3526 doesnt need me to drill holes and with the EP06 I dont need to swap out pigtails or use an adaptor. And of course its a quectel so ...

Want to look at this post about that router. Will need to modify it to add LTE antenna ports. https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1846&p=12831&hilit=We1326#p12831 Will also need adapter for that too. https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/pcie-m-2/mini-pci-e/mini-pci-e-to-m-2-ngff...

good choices but one issue: The router you picked has no outputs for external antennas. You would need to drill holes in the case and add in some sma connector pigtails. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWD5R47/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There is a pic of that mod on thi...
