Wireless Joint

Has anyone developed open source firmware for these units? They are rugged and reliable and just what many people need who don't want a full WIFI, router, gateway. I use a Peplink load balancing router and just want simple and reliable LTE gateways. Those devices including the modem firmware are en...

Your phone's data and speed limits should be same even when you insert your SIM card into a router. However, if you have a limited "hotspot" plan, then the router may be able to bypass it (mostly has to do with the TTL settings). So you might be able to bypass your 20GB hostpot limit and g...

Could be a number of things, try to run through the following... Make sure it's flashed with GoldenOrb/WiFix firmware (if it's not already done so, important!) Do a factory reset: AT!ENTERCND="A710" AT!RMARESET=1 Wait till the modem reboots, then try to get a status: AT!ENTERCND="A710...

Could you explain why band 14 is so important Bill please? Isn't B14 reserved for first responders and therefore not for use by regular consumers? Should regular consumers keep clear of B14 to prevent obstructing or delaying emergency services? From what I've read, band 14 will be available in some...

Just to see what would happen, before I saw your message, I plugged in an old 2.4GHz "n" adapter that I wasn't using anymore and it recognized it. I didn't try my dual-band '"ac" adapter yet, it'll be interesting to see if it's supported since it's much newer. The whole reason f...

Thanks for replying. Well, I did not make it all the way there. I was able to flash the Netgear R7800 with the flash you provided, thanks again. I was able to change the connection profile to “broadband” like I have used in the nighthawk m1 and the GL-X750. After reboot I go to Modem , Network Stat...

Hello, I have a WE826-T2 router that I am trying to connect to the serial port with. I have soldered the headers for tx rx and gnd and have it connected to my PC. I am using teraterm and have set the connection settings to 115200 8n1. I have followed the instructions here: https://openwrt.org/toh/z...

I found this thread: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=46 while looking for more info on splitters. It seems these would work. I tried today plugging in two MC7455 modems. GoldenOrb seems them, but I cannot get either of them to connect. I setup custom connection profiles that matched the M...

Hello, I've been looking around into the Telit LM-960 which is a mPCIe factor vs the m.2. I'm lost on where to start on this project. Lingering around your website i see you sell a "Mini PCI-E To M.2 (NGFF) Key B Adapter With SIM Card Slot". Will this work in for example a WE826 or a WG35...

I purchased a DW5821e several months ago to play with. Have not spent a lot of time with the modem, but could never get it to accept AT+commands in order to set the APN or Bands. Most AT+commands return an error--almost like it is locked--although the commands show to be available. Thoughts? I will...

Nope, not locked. I am using it right now in an USB enclosure connected to OpenWRT router with ModemManager. I also tested it with ROOTer with latest fixes, it works fine. It is that good of a value. Thanks, good to know. I've read somewhere about being locked, but I think that pertains to not bein...

The T77W968 is only missing B71 and has the features and same chip of the Telit LM960. LTE band preference (extended): '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 46, 48, 66' I won't be spending money on it unless B71 really boosts the speed in ...

I just received mine the last few days. It works out of the box even my Verizon voice sim works with it when my EM7511 (tried with VZW and Generic firmware) doesn't. Sprint also works on it which is what I am currently using it for B41+B41+B41. Will see how stable it is as my EM7511 had a 15 day up...

I'm super interested in the telit/fibocom/quectel options out there. Could your friend post up the At! commands they utilized to set up their quectel EM20? As suggested by JimHelms, this thread over at GL-Inet is chuck full of great info about Quectel modem setup. The EM20, EC21/EC25 practically us...

Thanks Bill, I tried that but this does appear to be a limitation of passthrough as linked to by hazarjest above. Its not critical but would have been nice to have had ping and SNMP output but the internal interfaces aren't available when in passthrough mode. Well I guess it was worth a shot, maybe...

You can try it, but if drivers are not included in the router's firmware, it probably won't work. As an alternative you could disable WiFi on the router, take a cable from any one of its LAN ports (not the WAN!), and connect it to the WAN port of a simple/inexpensive 802.11ac access point/router to ...

I followed the excellent Cradlepoint CBA850LP6 Introduction | Installation Options thread and have my CBA850-LP6 modem configured and working correctly with my pfSense router. I'm able to connect and control the admin interface without problem. If I monitor pings to the CBA850 192.168.13.1 address,...

So wanting to update this....basically 4G on ATT doesn't allow for port forwarding because they still use IPV4, so I'm NATed with like 100 other people on the same public IP. I got around this though as I have a VPN and just request a port and use it. Sucks but I'm on the Mobily plan paying $23 for...

I will do exactly that, thank you...I will give it one more shot tonight, as im heading to a wife's friends house who has a PC. Hard to find in the world of Apple these days :lol: crossing fingers.. Any news on your success or failure? Please let us know what happened, and the exact steps you've ta...

Hello Yes they do say you can't put out in router but you can. Just have to configure it for it. You have to put it in phone first with the app to activate it. Then configure hotspot / router for it. That is what I did for my uncle. He is using it with a nighthawk M1. Now yes in it you are still de...

at+cgdcont=1,"IP","VSBLINTERNET" : sets APN as visble (seems that capitalization matters) at+cgdcont=1,"IPV4V6","VSBLINTERNET" : allows for IPV4V6 use... this was a setting that seemed to "enable" my service. In my experience, sending both IP and IP...

Hello, Set my uncle up with this. All they do is email, Facebook, Netflix and basic browsing..So it is just fine for them they think it is great. But anyway from what I seen compared to Verizon is the ping is basically double and the download speed is 70% of Verizon. Here is a video about it https:...

That makes sense. I will leave the bands alone. I just selected 4G only, that is acceptable is it not unless I move it to a location where 4G is non existent? Yes that should be fine, but for heaven's sake don't suffer with 3G speeds (lol). You'd be surprised how much difference even a few feet of ...

Hi fellow LTERS, I would like to build a custom WE826-t2 router with Telit LN940A9 / fibocom L860-GL as they are cheaper than sierra wireless and also they are with higher Cat 11/16 range. If someone has built successfully pls point me to right direction or material. that would be great helpfull. N...

Hello, If anyone wants to help explain this sweet spot effect of the CA would like to hear it myself. The term "Sweet spot" means finding an ideal location for your router where the main and diversity antennas get the proper polarization in relation to the each other, so that when the wav...

I've tried doing a speed test and gstatus at the same time, no dice. Is it possible that only band 13 is servicing this area? Could I aggregate b13+b13? Once I get the h721 I plan on using both my verizon and sprint sims together. That should help a bit. CA sessions are controlled mainly by the tow...

In order the narrow down whether it's your modem or router at fault for your low speeds, remove or disable the internal modem in the router, and connect your mobile phone with the ATT sim to the router via a USB cable. On the phone turn on USB tether and set everything up under your router's wireles...

Either what JimHelms has suggested, or it's possible that the unmanaged POE hub in between the CBA850LP6 and your access point is causing CBA850LP6 not to assign DHCP properly. For testing purposes try to borrow a managed switch from someone and see if you get DHCP IP with that.

Just wanted to point out to anyone considering using Visible's service, for their unusually high ping times between 100-200 ms which is almost unusable for real-time gaming and other delay sensitive applications. While they are using Verizon towers, they are piggybacking their own server/firewall/Vo...

Just like phones, a modem's firmware is programmed to always search out the best possible signal based on the received RSRP and RSRQ signals. Unless it's a buggy firmware, there's really no need to lock it to any particular band. Due to environmental and tower changes in the signal, it's actually be...

I can confirm that using a Samsung S9 on an MVNO (SimpleMobile using Tmobile towers in the US), I get 3xCA during speed tests or large downloads by quickly typing *#0011# into the phone dialer to view the signal status. At the top of the screen you can see the main band, while at the bottom you can ...

Qualcomm devices have a much more secure NVRAM than MTK based ones, so I doubt that there's any simple AT command to repair it in case it gets wiped out. Most likely there's a hidden engineering mode which requires a challenge/response mechanism. Your best option at this time is to go with a Quectel...
