Re: MOFI4500 SIM7 download speed question

Speed.JPG I believe the problem is with the tower, NOT your modem, cable or antenna!! I have gotten 60Mbps with a MoFi Sim-7. :shock: Take your modem on a road trip and test with different towers. This would remove cables, and antennas from the equation. Power.JPG Tower.JPG Location….Location….. Lo...

If you are using WiFi I would turn it off and use cable.

Re: Problems with TTL settings on gl-mt300n-v2 using Visible

Found this it's for a PS5 but may help. Well, I found my issue. Within the PS5 internet settings, I changed the mtu to 1473 and it cleared my issue. Also found this for PS4 https://www.dualshockers.com/ps4s-temporary-mtu-1473-fix-to-access-the-psn-made-official-by-sony :shock: https://weakwifisoluti...

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. :shock:

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...
