I do have it setup that way now. I wondered if I should consider L1 and L2 as the "Primary" antenna? Is there ever a world where I point the two pairs in different directions? (one up and one straight for example) Wouldn't hurt to try to switch one are around here and there. See if someth...

Is there ever a world where I point the two pairs in different directions? (one up and one straight for example)

Would think the same direction but you never know.

I don't have any length on the j-arm, but I think I could make something out of PVC to temporarily test that. Do you think 2 feet higher would accomplish anything? It is possible. Just to get it away from the reflections of the roof. Can read this I posted along ago. Antennas can be finicky. https:...

Another small test is to play with what Antenna lead is to what modem lead on the can. Would start with one pair going L1 and L2. The other to L3 and L4.

Wouldn't go making new holes and all that. Small steps first. Do you have enough length to just raise it up above the roof a little? Even a foot or two.

In real world testing I have never noticed high loss on connectors.

Could also try just setting the TTL to 88 as well and see what happens. This is a unproven method method. It just works for my tethered phone.

Could play around with different value of TTL. Try to find it.

Used a vpn as well?

I did find out I have no idea how to install a VPN in Linux. I think it's getting close for me to box all this crap up and throw it into the closet and forget about all this. Hughesnet doesn't look so bad after all. Plug it in and it works. You could just test the vpn cloudflare app on your phone. ...

Now I am completely lost. I will have to look up what a client device is and start from there. Thanks for trying to help. I just mean the device receiving wifi. Like if you are using a tablet. It is receiving wifi data so it is a client device. Or if you use a Roku to get wifi data it is a client d...

From what I seen on tethered phone set up it takes a TTL 66 or higher along with VPN. Been just using 88 just because. But haven't tried on a modem yet though. Need someone to test that out please. Try this below and put VPN on client device. (item using wifi) Like said before free warp cloudflare w...

Today 6AM: 5Dn 5Up B5

That sounds like the Visible hotspot cap to me. Not a antenna issue

It seems like I'm not able to hold onto the "Primary" b66 signal and that is kicking me off of "Secondary" n71 and into "Primary" B71, which is the home of bad speeds. There apparently is a known issue with this dropping 5g read somewhere and a new firmware update is s...

Yeah it's being throttled right now as I'm trying to download a game. Won't go past 5MB Well I have been throttled on my tethered phone. But haven't checked a sim in router yet. So Drove over to my uncle's house. And yep he is being throttled too! So on my tethered phone I changed those values to l...

And it is being throttled?

Alright so got the new SIM and redid the whole setup and got it all working finally! Now how would I go about getting past Visibles 5MB download cap? Good! Did you do this here below in the steps to set it up? copy and past this shown below in to custom rules Tab to the left of custom TTL settings ...

Here is a couple Verizon groups. Also the excel file to make your own

2+5
AT+QCFG="band",0,12,1

2+4+5+66
AT+QCFG="band",0,2000000000000001a

All bands:
AT+QCFG="band",0,42000000003300185a,1

Quectel Create Custom Bands (3-18-2020).xlsx

Did you say you are using visible?

OK so band 66 would be a faster band if you had decent connection to it. If you look at your signal strength for it more than likely is very bad. So if you get another antenna want to try those other bands again.

Do you remember the post from way back where you showed a new status page that displayed sinr and such? Do either the new rooter build or the latest The Wireless Haven build we cannot find have this new status page implemented into them? Not sure if you are talking about this below. https://wireles...

Think there are other bands to connect to? That would help. Band 5 isn't the fasted band for sure. What category modem do you have?

Give is some specs. Carrier? Bands? Current signal strength?

I have the antennas set up and have been fine tuning aim with my router. Is there such thing as a best celluar antenna? Not really. Each situating is different. Depending on Carrier, Bands available, distance from tower, landscape of the land and etc. If you provide that kind of info maybe some cou...

Can confirm that TTL settings no longer work with Visible. I have a gl-inet ar750s at home that I use for backup with a backup line from visible on a google pixel 4a. My main internet went down at home, so I fired this stuff back up and I am being throttle to 5mbps now. Worked fine in the past. Has...

So this TP-LINK ER605 combines all the speeds into one?

Would this wire guard help with visible throttle issue? Are there any blocking issues with wire guard? Like Netflix or etc?
No experience with wire guard here.

Have had resellers sims go out allot. Yes streaks are totally normal.

gabe1475 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:02 pm Also changed custom TTL to 64. Seems like a reboot solves the throttle issue for some time, but eventually comes back.

On the tethered phone if I use custom rules and give it a higher ttl like 88 and use a VPN on client device works everytime. Even with free warp cloud flare app.

I am being throttled on my visible tethered phone. But haven't tried one in router since this started. So don't know if it is happening there too. Did you put this and do nothing with the Custom ttl change?

I like Quectel modems. Since they can be set up for auto reboot. Some modems like sierra wireless have to have power cycle (turned on and off). Which can't be done automatically. Also Quectel modems take less commands to do things. And if you look thru these forums sierra wireless modems have issues...

All quectel modems work well with visible.

This will get you in the ball park for wifi settings.

Thank you again. Which tab do I find the TTL/Custom rules that are in the link you provided? one last question, where do you set a wifi password in Wifix configuration? Won't say TTL will say custom rules. When you paste that in there it will change TTL. Also for good measure copy and past this sho...

Hello, what plan on Verizon and how did you set it up?

What modem did you end up getting?

What we are wondering why doesn't just TTL work anymore? My self now I got to use TTL and VPN on client device. One or the other don't seem to work. The other way seen it work is with app called vpn tether. But it is cumbersome to set up every time works with a proxy in WiFi setting in client device.

Try this below.

WiFiX Router Firmware

No that's not it. I'm trying to get to the admin page but it won't work. I typed in the 192.168.1.1 in but it says page can not be reached because I'm assuming I can't connect to the wifix. When I try to connect to the wifix that pops up when I plug in my router it asks me to type in the network se...

That's fantastic. What plan is this? I always connect through an iPAD with tethering on and TMobile randomly allocate parts of the traffic to hotspot and then throttles the whole line to 512kbps once the hotspot allocation hits 20GB. Depending on the day of the month, and the way the stars are alig...

Well been using it for awhile now cause it is a deal. Probably always use it for personal phone at minimum. Still working as of now. Wouldn't use it as my main source of data but think it is great for a supplement.

Have a couple of these also. These are good for Tmob's lower 600mhz band. Quality is good and they are actually bigger than I had expected compared to similar 'LTE' yagi's. I would say if you are looking to get more out of specifically Tmob's lower band 5G signal then yes they do a great job. Thank...

I purchased an 11 dBi Yagi Antenna for TV White Space (470-862 MHz). I'm still testing the configuration, but it made a significant difference in the dB gain.

Do you not like visible?

My tethered visible today will run at full speed with TTL and having VPN on the client device. Even with free Warp VPN by CloudFlare 1.1.1.1
As far as us mobile goes it recently changed. Now has a hard throttle on their service. See video below

Hello
There is a way to use the factory firmware on those GL.Inet routers. The use a type of rooter as well. Here is a link on it.
https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=20 ... =20#p15672

The tethering issue with certain phones is likely caused by the implementation of the hotspot app/firewall in the phone. Instead of the stock hotspot app try some of the third party apps which don't require root, and might get better results. https://play.google.com/store/search?q=mobile%20hotspot&...

So none of your devices work all the time when you are tethering?
Is anyone have issues with this with the sim card inside a modem router?

Also, I’ve been using calyx for 2 years now and can confirm that it is truly unlimited and without throttling (other than normal network deprioritization). Was wondering if you ever moved around with that calyx? Even maybe on trip or something. Does it always connect to T-Mobile service? Don't have...

This is the SIM AT&T sent me. (SIM VAR AFF2 UICCG), it came on an orange card. Do they still make non LTE SIMs, were there ever 4G SIMs that couldn't receive LTE? Yes according to past post people reported. Happened because of the type of tablet they connected with. https://www.wirelessjoint.co...

Visible? I can't get it to stay full speed without wireguard at the router level. Not sure what they are doing to detect modification but they have some mechanism going. Another method that will keep it full speed is a proxy. Just modifying TTL and letting it run, eventually something automatically...

It really doesn't matter what device you activate the service in. If both the new device AND the plan supports 5G then it should work on 5G (even with the magic, the modem will request a 5G channel regardless if it's available). As far as I know only Verizon charges extra for 5G at this time, best ...

I activated the $20 + fees stand alone tablet plan using an iPad gen 4. It cost me $100 including tax on FleeBay. I put the SIM in a Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot (MR5000) and it worked but only on 4G. I put the SIM back in the iPad. I have to "repair" the IMEI and change the TTL on...

The purpose of tethering a phone to a router is two folds. 1. It's a legal "external modem". 2. You should be able to bypass the 5Mbps limit via the router's TTL and other settings (such as setting IPv4 only or IPv6 only). I would try the following TTL values, it can't hurt (64/65/66/117)...

It sounds like it may be IMEI related? That seems to be going around a lot lately. Seems like most posts are about 'no internet', which makes me think IMEI as first guess. Would IMEI be the reason when we are talking about tethering the phone? Wouldn't think so. Every once in awhile it does work an...

Didneywhorl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:47 am for your Visible, did you try changing the TTL and HL to 65/64? Some people have done "magic" to the modem to avoid counting as hotspot on phone plans.

Is "magic" legal in the United States? Having hard time finding straight forward yes or no for this.

Hello, Been using one of these for AT&T. With original orbi firmware. Being AT&T have no use for TTL settings. But would like to create a group of bands. Do I have to switch to this voxel to do that?

Hello, Read thru this as beginning to start to understand. https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=1286 The router set up will give the phones wifi coverage. You hook antennas to the router that are outside kind like you would for a TV. Same concept really. He might have mean to re-home you booste...

Look into visible phone service. Has unlimited hot spot limit. Can use it right with your phone. Can connect one device to it. It is slower speeds but it will play Netflix and etc.
Visible phone service is ran on Verizon towers so should have good coverage. Don't get much simpler than that.

I decided on the NEXR5GO. It looks like it should do whatever I need. Now for the Modem card. Is there any one that is easier to get working than others? That can be a matter of opinion. In my opinion from what i seen that was suggested you the Quectel EM12 seems easiest to me. Less command lines t...

I do have an Omni directional antenna I used before for awhile that came with the booster, it did okay but nothing like the signal we have now. I know that visible caps your hot spot at 5 Mbps which is more than enough for what I would use it for, but to be able to have 5 Mbps available is what I w...

Yes post pay plan. Those sims work great.

T-Mobile,
They are really easy to set up for a sim card. Can use a ton of data and have no issues. Know several people that have done it. Can also check to see if you can get T-Mobile home internet as well.

Well if you leave it all in can let it do it's own thing. Not all towers have the bands. Was just taking 13 out since it is typically the slower one.
