Re: External Antenna Band 13 MIMO?

Your higher upload than download is a reasonable sign of tower congestion. A quick test to find out is to see if this changes at 3AM when the tower's resources are not being taxed. Do you know exactly where the towers are located in reference to your location? Generally, a bad ideal to install anten...

Re: WE 826-GO / Sierra EM7565 CAT-12 and Visible

This is what I would try. Go to SYSTEM > BACKUP/FLASH FIRMWARE RESTORE > RESET TO DEFAULTS. Once it came back on line, I would set the APN and the Time Zone. I would then test the WiFi as it is before making any changes. The WiFi on these units are far from optimal, and can be a little finicky--espe...

MBIM CONNECT: FAILED SUBSCRIBER REGISTRATION

This is a pretty good hint that it is network related.

Might call the carrier and have them reactive the SIM card.

Re: We826-t2. Em7455. AT commands not working

I have very limited knowledge of these things and looking for some help. I just bought a we826 and installed a em7455 and upgraded the router firmware to the newest WiFiX golden orb. Looks like my internet is working off the lan ports but not the WiFi. I can connect to the WiFi but no internet conn...

Re: Frequent modem disconnects MC7455/WG3526

I'm using a Linksys WRT1900ACS with the USB enclosure w/ a 3A stock power supply. External omni antennas about 4 miles from Sprint, nearly LOS. I'll let you know if I figure out a solution. It feels like it is a USB issue but I can't confirm that. I had narrowed the system & kernel log down but...

Re: WE 826-GO / Sierra EM7565 CAT-12 and Visible

They do look better and are showing the secondary carriers for CA which appear to get a lot better signals than the Band 66 the modem is camped out on.

What band is your phone using?

You may also want to create a set of custom bands that does not include Band 66 and try them.

Re: Sierra Wireless EM7511 Aggregation Issue

Signal strength looks fine, but "IMS reg state: No Srv" does not. Have your rebooted your router once or twice after the upgrade? Have you done the initial setup (MBIM/QMI mode, APN), including the selection of the "generic" firmware? The"IMS Svr: No Srv" is normal for...

Re: WE 826-GO / Sierra EM7565 CAT-12 and Visible

Your signals are not all that good, but I have seen a lot worse. One think pops out, and that is your lack of the secondary carriers that would be used for Carrier Aggregation.

is this a known issue? or is it worth it to get a brand named router with open vpn built in and use it for the home.
Someone on the ROOter forum could better answer these questions.

Re: Golden Orb Public Static IP Issues - MWAN3

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to assign WAN (eth0.2) a static IP address?

Since it shows MBIM assigned to that interface, I assume it is the LTE interface? If so, do you have a static IP address on your cellular plan.

Re: Modem NOT identified

As Jim mentioned in his previous post, the network cannot see the router. The router cannot look like a phone IMEI since it is the modem that has the IMEI and not the router. It is the modem that transmits its IMEI to Verizon. The WE826GO is a WE826-T2 with GoldenOrb firmware loaded on it. Now if y...

Re: Modem NOT identified

The dilemma is that the E826GO has been flagged by VZ so the next strategy is to hack and hide. The E826GO will show the same IEE as the phone. Either this will work or the component within the E826GO will have to be replaced as that is now assumed to be on a VZ blacklist. The router does not conne...
