The easiest way do you get great signal, just bring your gear to the tower for a speed test.

A better design would to have no cable or very short cable in your set.

Re: MOFI4500 Random Modem Disconnects
Removing the SIM and doing a hard factory reset may do the trick.
It could flush the gremlins out of your modem.
Take screenshots of your set up before doing so!
Also as mentioned above getting a good two amp power brick very important!

Re: Rural Virginia , Good Phone Service Options
Use https://www.cellmapper.net to help you map out your best options. Click on the dots to see which way the tower is pointed and what band they are using. T-Mobile band 71 600MHz works the best for rural settings Not the fastest, but sometimes the only option! SIM Solution, 100GB, 5G, T-Mobile, $50...

Re: Starting from Scratch
With this setup you do not need the cost or pain of antenna cables.
Even with good low loss cable, there will be signal lost.

Re: Mofi4500-Sim7 + Quectel EM12-G CAT12
Can I ask what Carrier you’re using and what type of cell phone
What band are you using with the MoFI
What is your Signal strength and Signal to noise ratio?

Re: Mofi4500-Sim7 + Quectel EM12-G CAT12
In theory maybe I think the chassis/router for a MoFi is a WE828. Which is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Will be better off starting fresh with a better new router. Will need to know how to load firmware and use the command line. The best thing about a MoFi is the GUI Sure a better Quality mode...
