Ok If you are wanting to keep the T-Mobile plan and make it faster need to find the T-Mobile tower. Do you know it is? Can find it here. https://www.cellmapper.net/map?MCC=310&MNC=260&type=LTE&latitude=39.116023560813545&longitude=-85.26742582255285&zoom=11&showTowers=true&am...

Hello, When you say this is the only option you have do you mean cellular data or T-Mobile period? Who do you have this plan thru? Is it T-Mobile directly? Speeds are low but how low are we talking? That modem you have is a very low end one. Here is a video about your device. https://www.google.com/...

Quoted from BillA: Someone should try the ATT plan with a Quectel modem, maybe they are only blocking Sierra's. I have Verizon post pay plan for cell phone service. Lowest level plan called start unlimited. So low it has no hotspot data allowed at all Anyway have tried it in several Sierra wireless...

Hello,
Been using the WE826 routers. Know about the Wi-Fi issue with them. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. If someone really wanted a all in one unit router they could count on is the WG3526 a good choice?

Yes I remember you saying that. Why I posted this to let you see what is going on with this vendor. Think we are going to ride the wave out on this one. See how long it last. The simple mobile requires TTL I believe. Bad situation for someone who really needs AT&T. Seen this company that is very...

Well I said before time will tell if places are legit resellers with AT&T. If you read this message seems they where more than likely selling the ipad plan. Got this message today thru email. https://traveldata.page/?na=v&nk=41-b981308a6f&id=3 Seems all these resellers are moving to T-Mo...

I have noticed allot of data resellers are switching from AT&T to T-Mobile. Does anyone have an idea of what T-Mobile plan they are reselling? Would need to be something that doesn't require TTL setting. Is there something comparable to that old AT&T ipad plan on T-Mobile?

Hello
Think this is what you are looking for.
Look at this post page one jim helms post air advantage.

To add to the band 71 dellima think there is also a. Issue with good signal connection. Since all the antennas are actually tuned to get 700 MHz and up frequencies. I tried the Quectel EC25-AF CAT-4, Bands: B2/B4/B5/B12/B13/B14/B66/B71 Really like the modem works great. But not impressed with band 7...

No the EC25-AF doesn't support carrier aggregation. It performed very well on one band in my opinion. It even worked with my Verizon Sim card from my phone. And it has never worked in anything but worked on this thing. If you want 2 band Carrier aggregation go with the EP06-A.

The Quectel EP06 can be cheaper than EM06.
Can look at this post here
https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=278
And in my opinion Band 71 isn't very fast at all from what I have seen.
Sure you don't have band 2?

Since this isn't very often and if your phone works there well enough. Could you just tether the phone to a router?

Honestly don't know if it is in QMI composition or not. Currently have a Nighthhawk M1 in use. (Seem to always be shuffling devices between people.) My account for it says unknown device but does show the IMEI for it . Just found this odd since was using this device for quite some time and all the s...

Hello, Seen this mentioned in another post here : https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=884#p6074 Was wondering when one would want to do this? Under what circumstances would think it was necessary? For example have another post here : https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9...

Well hear they are shutting down people violating TOS. So if you buy one and put it in a hotspot device you are probably going to get shut down?

Maybe look at this post.

My sister and parents are on the travel data option I have listed on this post and so far have not had any issues.

Hello
Seems netbuddy is taking customers again. And have a new option for service. Anyone understand what this is?

See this service on The Wireless Haven store when buying a Sierra wireless card.

Is this something that needs to be done regularly? I have never done this. Could this have anything to do with the slow down issue?

Flash what? The router? It is not band locked. It is on band 2 & 12 which is the only bands it has available to it.

Do you know why the MC7455 would just start to slow down? It dropped quite a bit.

Well to be honest the band 71 was definitely less than awesome. Only had 5 MHz on it and think might have something to do with that most antennas are tuned in to get 700 - 2700 Frequency not 600 for band 71. So not super impressed with it. It was no better if not worse than band 12. Liked the Quecte...

Hello, Have a MC7455 in a WE826 using T-Mobile for internet. On band 2 and carrier aggregating on band 12. About a month ago my speeds just slowed down all the sudden. Thought immediately must be signal strength. Checked signal strength and nothing has changed. Second thought was well T-Mobile must ...

Sounds like you are being affected by AT&T ipad data plan being shut down. More than likely your service providers where reselling this to you which breaks the terms and conditions and now they are getting turned off. It is not your device. To verify this you could try a phone sim in your device...

Well to return to this topic about Mofi. They have now had the router back in their possession since 1-16-2020. They still where not refunding my money. Literally been calling them everyday to try to get the money back. Keep saying yes today we will do it. Then they don't and then call the next day....

Could you use a VPN with server location in the city you suppose to be locked too? For example we wanted to watch a show that someone seen in Canada. Wouldn't let us go there to the show. Found a VPN that was located in Canada and then let us watch it. Also I don't have Hulu live but have used this ...

Thanks Jim,

If one did decide to go with the Quectel EM12-G CAT12 modem is there a good way to tune it in to the correct signal strengths? On the Sierra Wireless modems have the AT!GSTATUS? command to check the signal stats. Does the Quectel modems have a way of doing this as well?

From a quick google search found this about Sprint bands. Shown below says bands 25, 26, 41 are the LTE bands. So what ever modem you get believe will need to have those bands. For example the Sierra Wireless MC7455 shows it has all three of those bands. Sprint operates a nationwide network with CDM...

If is find for people to buy low and sell high. But when you are buying something and reselling it and breaking the terms and conditions from the person you bought it from that is the issue for me. That is why I never had a Ipad plan trying not to break the terms and conditions. "do it the righ...

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. Not saying the don't have good ones but if you get a bad one they don't stand behind their product at all. Please avoid the Mofi company. That mofi is W...

Yes I do. And that why I say it is scamming. Cause I asked them. If that is what they are doing. And at&t do cancel all those they will be gone for sure. Do you have any idea why at&t don't shut these places down? Like netbuddy was advertised all over you tube that is how I heard of them. If...

So are saying that there is no actually resellers of Data that have legit relationship with the company? That actually buy the data from at&t and sell it? This is what net buddy said they did. Actually talked to them. Had my parents on it originally. Untill they raised the price. That is when I ...

Time will tell if they are scamming or not. You are right if they don't take new customers they are scamming. Here is a different company. See what their site says.

This plan does work though without any TTL settings. It is a unlimited hotspot plan no calling included. Can runt it even in a portable hotspot device. Is that what this auto-pay the $65 plan, costing them only $45 is as well? Does this have unlimited hotspot?
If so where do I get it?

The plan was $49 per month and just changed to $55 after the Ipad plan went away. It is hard to tell if some one is scamming on these things or not. They could be legitimately getting data from AT$T. If they are not legit they will be out of business soon for sure.

According to this video existing $35 ipad customers will be grandfathered in but only if you are not using it in a hotspot device. Using as it was intended to be used as terms and conditions.

Hello Again, Seems T-Mobile told me wrong again on the bands available in my area. Just got a Quectel EC25-AF modem. Yes it is only a cat 4 modem one band at a time but it has all of the T-mobile bands. Band locked the bands one at a time and only have access to bands 2, 12, 71. Don't mind the Quect...

Hello My parents be & my sister are on on this and have been very happy with it. It is a AT&T unlimited hotspot data reseller. It cost a $30 activation fee then $55 per month after that. There is no streaming data caps with it either. What you are able to connect to you get. Believe you can'...

Hello,
What do you mean by this?
Are you saying you don't have good verizon coverage at the house?
What does work well mean? Have you ran a speed test on it?

Hello, If you have these antenna setting outside waiting on router to be hooked up make sure to tape those ends so no moisture gets in them. Have a question about a post on this NOW, my opinion. If you want to use the cat12 modems and higher, your better off using an LTE router that has an m.2 key B...

Hello,
Was looking thru the info on the link in this chat.
Showing the AT commands for the Quectel EP06-A AT commands for bandlock.
I have the Quectel EC25-AF.
Does anyone know if the AT commands are the same on it as the Quectel EP06-A?

Thanks allot. Just an odd thing really that happened. Have Verizon wireless phone service. Have the lowest unlimited data plan "start unlimited". Which has no hot spot feature at all. Have tried that Sim card in several Sierra wireless mc7455 modems and had never worked. But for some reaso...

Do you know what the equivalent of AT!GSTATUS? is on a Quectal EC25-af? Just got one of these to test out band 71. My hope is to get a simple mobile set up for someone with out the need for exterior antennas. They had the cool pad surf test thing from T-Mobile and it worked good for them. While got ...

Hello, Have the exact same set up with T-Mobile service and have had the same issue. Currently now have it in the attic and have the WiFi turned off. And use another router on the ground floor for WiFi use. Now with that being said, my parents house has the exact same setup using AT&T service an...

Hello Again, Called T-Mobile again. This time was told that tower has bands 2, 4, 12, 46, 66, 71. Located 4.7 miles from this tower currently using a MC7455 on bands 2 & 12. Does anyone know what by best option is getting more speed out of these options here? What band is more likely to be faste...

Visible can work in a router. But yes there are better options. My uncle uses visible but he basically like checks classified ads and Facebook with it.

Wow so there really isn't a TTL for Visible to get around the throttling?

Yes the they will connect to other bands. But you need to find out what bands are available in your area. ATT = Rumor is that Ipad plan will be expiring don't know if maybe Business one is different. Visible = Isn't bad but high ping/latency if you care about that, their customer service is legendar...

You think maybe I should call again? See if I get a different answer.

Well all employees make mistakes though.

For example had a new tower go up thought it was AT&T. Called them they say no not ours.
Get ahold of the property owner yep it's AT&T.

Hello all, Currently use T-Mobile with a MC7455. 2 way carrier aggregation with band 2 and 12. Been thinking of upgrading myself at times to more powerful modem. So I called T-Mobile and asked what bands my local tower has? Was told it has bands 2, 3, 12, 71. Does anyone know what band 3 is? Not lis...

$89 is pretty high price to pay for AT&T service.

Hello, In my experience the We-Boost is great for getting phones to work if you don't have good service to make calls and what not. But for home LTE internet better off with just antennas to the device itself. The We-Boost will create noise and degrade signal quality and it seems to make the signal ...

According to this video Apple phones can hot spot more than this. Says apple wouldn't agree to change so will connect 5 devices at once.

Start listening at about 5:40 into video for that part of it.
Don't know if this helps or not but just passing it along.

It was completely dead. Wouldn't fit in phone it is a full size SIM. Bought new SIM and they activated it and up and running again. Had similar issue in the past with another provider that sells AT&T data. Does anyone know why this happens? Think about it. Will have the same SIM in a smart phone...

Well did the ole switcheroo. Put known working sim into the router with exact same service provider and bam it works. So it is a card issue. Now to convince the provider of this. This is a legit unlimited hotspot plan. No TTL stuff needed here. So card should be working.

Hello, Have a few questions. 1. Was wanting to know if you used a TTL setting to get the faster speeds now. Ping 119 Download 16.79 Upload 2.26 2. Also was wondering would a VPN block that it is used in a router? Don't know much about VPN. 3. Would a VPN cause even higher pings since it is another s...

Yes service is paid for like the first thing had them check. Have had that happen before where the auto pay didn't go thru. Can't get over there today have prior arrangements. Wondering if it being so cold has anything to do with it? It is a in an outside enclosure a legit one. Is there anyone that ...

Powered it on and off already. Didn't remove the Sim. It is a AT&T reseller. Contacted them they said all is good on their end.

Hello all. At my sister's home have a setup there with the unit in an outside enclosure with a POE setup. Thing has been running great for few weeks now all the sudden it won't connect. Modem says failed to connect. Not sure what to do. This is what I get when run status on it. at!gstatus? !GSTATUS:...

Could set TTL on windows computer to 64 to see if that makes it work on the computer. If it works on computer after that will know that is the issue.

Hello.
If you read visible website it says hotspot capped at 5 down. Are you sure this isn't a TTL issue? Heard in the past that Verizon needed TTL of 117. This is technically Verizon. And I think high pings are just par for the course with Visible.

Advantage of having an access point and not router connected to your modem every time you decide to change something.

Hello, With the WE826 if it didn't serve you as a router you can disable it and use an access point inside the home. This what I ended up doing after allot of changes. It is the way to go in my opinion. Reason why is once you start down this road you will find yourself turning it into a hobby and al...

Looks like a all in one thing to me.

Yes I think you are right about the overseas thing, read it too. I want to put this on the ports we use here in the US. Just to eliminate those terrible ts9 ports that cause me issues with connectivity. In my opinion this is the largest down fall of the Nighthawk M1.

Well aware of the risks that it could ruin it. It is a used unlocked one from ebay. Learned when it comes to the LTE game have to be willing to loose money and time. There is no definite answers to nothing. If it does work don't care if it is ugly. Will end up in an enclosure or the attic anyway bei...

Well was thinking of just soldering on the ms-156 right to the ports shown in the picture above. If they are a close match to the antenna port. Then drill holes in the top face for the 90 to reach down to it.
Kind of like this picture shown here. You think this is possible?

Solder 90.PNG

Hello,
I am learning as well. Sorry didn't know that the MC7455 AT commands where different than what you had. Just done that myself and it had worked. Understand being frustrated with this stuff. Always listen to Jim over others when conflicting info. Good Luck

Hello again,

So looking at this again to possibly solder on some sma connectors to get better connection than ts9 ports. Is this the adapter you think could possible be used?

MS-156 to sma female.PNG

Ok So trying to get more performance on T-Mobile band 2 and 12. Connecting to these won't help me then? Nothing to gain having 4 antennas? Do you think I could solder some wires on the two other ports? The normal ones. Reason to do this just so don't have to deal with the flakey TS9 ports. Thinking ...

Does anyone know what size these are?

When I look at simple mobile this is what i see.

How do you get around the 480p streaming?

I have a WE826 with MC7455 and just use an Ethernet cable to send the at commands to it.
Go to MODEM > MISCELLANEOUS > AT-COMMAND TERMINAL to send AT commands.
Send them one at a time waiting for response. Will say ok each time when it is successful.
