Sorry, not I.

I dont know the answer to this question, but you can always send your provider a copy of the firmware to check out him/her self

Why would you take the lock off? Might fry something not finished terminating or hurt someone that isnt smart enough to check before starting their work. Might be a show though.

With no other changes, I agree its likely a change on your tower (weather or some other damage likely). You can call in a trouble ticket for it and have your tower checked. Ive never done it myself, but Ive heward of people getting things checked out that way.

Signal cam bounce off metal buildings very very well. I thought I was getting my signal from the rear of my house, then when mounting my antenna on the roof I found it was actually just bouncing off the shoo behind my house back to it. Im not sure on your signals... Im also not home, have to play la...

Just dont be like me and try to put the SIM card in the SD card slot on the back for 10 minutes trying to insert it in the dern thing, instead of the side of it where it even says "SIM Card". LoL!

Even without the SIM card installed, you can go ahead and flash the routers firmware and set the APN and timezone settings.

Remember to unchecked the box next to Keep Settings when the dealio bobber has it before hitting the final "ok" to upload the firmware.

CalyxInstitute.org Sprint service, pay a year at a time. $500 First year gets you a device included

Rich, you get it running?

I used to be a victim, but I had zero Idea of the options available. That was prob 4 years ago now. They are crazy high with some of it, and they have lost provider accounts in the past screwing their customers

Thanks!
The antenna I use is setup for the range you saw, but Jim at thewirelesshaven.com sells a similar flat panel antenna that is broad range. Exact same install.

No, its indoors next to my 8 port hub

Awesome! Its super fun to build this.

Thank you! Have fun with it, and ask any questions you have and we will try our best to help get them answered.

Id prefer to beam a wired connection to me over LTE, but LTE is what I have for now.

Super nice. I cant generally get better than 19ms ping

Sure. Send me a PM.

Ive heard of a few who have done so just fine. For some odd reason it will not use B25, but you can 3xCA on B41.

Good ole dbl NAT. Im not familiar, yet, with ATT but with Sprint I simply needed to find a different device(SIM) that was provisioned to Sprints public ip APN to get rid of the dbl NAT issue; aka crappy ps4 online play, and impossible XBOX online play. Im fairly certain that your service area has no...

I cant say Im super experienced here, but do you have a public ip from ATT? Sometimes you can request one for a few bucks more per month, though Im not familiar with ATTs offerings.

Also, why do you say NAT is causing ping issues.... I need to google "NAT444".

Overlooked detail, sorry Jim.

And thank you for the kind praise.

Exact same setup. Its been done by others. I need to buy one myself, just have yet to do so.

I doubt cold is a problem with any electronic. Heat has been well over 100F here and Ive zero issues.

Short version: LAN cables are cheaper and more efficient than antenna cables. Longer: The router is the place the modem is installed and interfaced. The modem is where the antennae are plugged in. Antenna cables arent cheap and degrade quickly over length without spending a large sum on cables and e...

Im going to delete this in the morning, since its not my link

Its not even seeing your modem

My R910 used n.ispsn

Ill look...

Ill have to dig....

Anytime!

Just to beat the dead horse, make fully CERTAIN the SIM is completely flush in the adapter, with no bumps on the edges. Also, what device is your hotspot? Try swapping APN numbers for giggles. Also, where did you get the firmware? I do not use the newest. I use one compiled by Wes on the facebook gr...

It maxxed my signal strength solidly. My speeds were decent before, but now theyre effectively double, sometimes up to 100Mbps (Down) on tests with fairly responsive ping times.

The Sierra wireless modem module can act as a generic modem that the wireless networks will accept if setup properly. When configured with a SIM slot, you swap the SIM card from your hotspot to the modem and configure it appropriately. There are tutorials on this site that should give more detail if...

The modem, like a sierra wireless, gives you a lot of freedom to use multiple SIMs (providers) and more control over your radio. The router is like any other the features are what matter. The routers sold by The Wireless Haven are customized for using your own modem module and custimizable antenna s...

Wow! Noice!

Thats great! Im being forced out if unlimitedvilles Sprint plan, so I think I might give Calyx a go.

Im hoping to upgrade to the new Sierra cat12 modem soon too.

Thanks! This definitely helped boost my signal strength; once I figured out where my primary cell tower was so I could point at it properly. The feet for the router board, the weatherproof LAN plug, and all mounting hardware comes with the antenna. The Wireless Haven stocks the PoE power adapters .

I just recieved the notification for this....

That said.... What Jim said!

Going away? Seriously? Here we go again.

Lets finish this long bugger up! Don't forget! --> Programming the router and setting up the modem as well as troubleshooting is all included in the tutorials that Jim Helms has already done. This tutorial is simply a build tutorial. If anything doesn't make sense to you, comment on here or message ...

Moving onto the LAN connection and more

Lets mount the board inside the housing now....

Power Tools time!

So that we know where to place our router board, inside the case, we need to mark out where the antenna ports are and a rough center point between.

My marks arent exact, and yours dont need to be either. Point is to get a good approximation.

Moving on to the Antenna and enclosure assembly I removed one of the ground wires and bonded the two halves together, but you can simply bond the two wires together if you wish. Be sure careful not to damage the threads on the antenna ports, I left my caps on until I was ready to attach my antenna w...

Next add the feet/standoffs to the board.

Remember ... PLASTIC! Don't over tighten, just real snug.

Now to install the SIM card.

Dont be like me and forget to install the SIM card!!!

Sand off any odd points or irregularities so that the SIM will fit snug, but not too tight or too loose, in the adapter.

Now to install the modem into the router

Don't overtighten ANYTHING that's made of plastic

Now time to remove the router board from its case. We are doing this because, as you'll see later, we are going to mount the bare board INSIDE the antenna housing assembly! You could just mount the whole router assembly in there, as there is plenty of space, but that has its own modifications that n...

Now pull the plugs out and gather up the hardware, and TADA!

Now we take off the antenna connections

More to come.... Bare with me.

Getting started with the Router body. We gut the router...

Here are a few of the things needed to get going, already listed above.

Ok, so I'm going to post a butt ton of pictures here on how I put together a WG3526-P Router w/Sierra MC7455 Modem inside a DM25X19 Antenna. The pictures will be posted on this thread as a series of posts instead of one SUPER long single posting. NOTE: It is recommended to build and configure the WG...

Is it possible to aggregate/link multiple modems on the 3526? Or even run two 3526s and bond the connections in one network?

I'll be the starter of this branch of the forum... I'm currently using Unlimitedville's Sprint hotspot plan, I get pretty dern good LTE/Spark signal. $99 a month, no contract plan. I used to have Mellinicom, until they cancelled the service on me. Prior to that I had a few other services that also w...

You did answer my question though.

I roughly understand the fact that there are nuances that exist between each connected device, Im asking strictly about the connection between the modem and the tower. Im sure different modems configured different ways will perform differently, but Im asking if Im static with my modem will a better ...

Is a well setup antenna the only way to optimize ping?
