Hello, No the tower itself is not grounded to a ground rod. The tower is in the ground though. Think you are saying that isn't enough? Think you are telling me to put in a ground rod and ground the antenna tower to that ground rod? Then once that is done can ground the lightening arresters right to ...

Hello have another question about grounding. Have a old school tower antenna tower. It is in a concrete footer over 3 feet in the ground. Does this mean that the lightening arresters could be grounded right to the antenna tower? Or do I need to put in a new ground rod for this?

Hello again, Now have cleared my Cache, did a system back up on my computer to time before Mofi software was flashed and also reset the router. The error is unable to define ip address. Have no idea what to do on this? Is my router ruined now? Is my MC7455 modem ruined now? Don't have any way to acc...

Hello all,
I tried to do this same thing. Load the mofi software to this same setup. Now I am locked out of the web page just like this forum says. Does anyone know how to get out of this now? Just get the back to where I started even and give up on the mofi software.
Any help would be appreciated

Hello again. I looked into this. And yes says online says use arresters right before you go into the house. But I have 50 foot cables lmr 400 that go from antennas straight to router. So the only connection spot I have to add them is at the antenna connection. At the very top of the run. Is that ok?...

Hello, Mention that the mofi is a sunk cost? If you look on eBay they are popular on there and regularly sell for $250 and up. Just mentioning it if you ever consider selling it and starting fresh. Mofi isn't a bad product for someone who just wants to get internet with out getting to far into the w...

Hello, First disclaimer that I am still new to allot of this. Recently went thru this my self. Have T-Mobile where I wanted band 2 as my primary and band 12 as my secondary. Had same issues as you did. When it was the other way around with 12 as primary and 2 as secondary speed went way down. How I ...

Hello sokraski, Don't know the answer to your question. Was wondering if you would create a post on how to get service thru visible? Been wondering if that is possible? Was thinking you would have to connect a phone to router via usb port. But you can actually put the SIM in a Mofi and get it to wor...

Sorry, Confused on this one. Maybe I wasn't clear. I have two antennas on a antenna tower with LMR 400 running into the house and into the Router. Then an Ethernet wire from router to a computer. If I lost my antennas or my router could deal with it but very concerned about my sons computer getting ...

Hello, Getting close to finishing my setup. How important are lightening arresters? Can a computer get fried if it is hooked to the router thru a Ethernet connection? Is just an old school lightning rod on top of the antenna good enough to protect it? Thanks confused on this just starting to look in...

Hello, I have a MC7455 modem with Mimo Configuration 2 log periodic antennas with lmr 400 cable. Positioned on top of a TV tower antenna. Receiving down load of 48 to 62 mbps. But even as I improved this speed still couldn't get HD quality on my tvs and computer streaming. Then realized the issue wa...

Ok thanks will look at those antennas. Is there currently some where you can get Verizon unlimited hotspot plan? Don't use Verizon cause don't know of such product.

Thanks.
So did you replace your one band yagi antennas now then? If you have a new set up post I would like to see it. Looked for it didn't see one.

Hello swwifty, Believe I just read a post that said you would mostly recommend wide band antennas? Apposed to Yagi Band specific ones? Asking to see if you are still using your Yagi Band 2 antennas as your set up? Very much considering doing the set up like you had from this post. Would you still re...

Hello. I have a nighthawk m1 that I have used with same setup. Exact same fittings. Sma female to ts9 male. The issue I had is lmr 400 cable is very stiff and rigid. About impossible to keep fittings in the night hawk m1 when attached directly to the cable. They just pop out over and over. Ended up ...

Hello, Been reading this post to learn about my own set up. Have the same issue. When I run Carrier Aggregation on T-Mobile always get band 12 as my primary and band 2 as my secondary. The results is that will get a speed download of about 15mbps. But If lock to band 2 will get download speeds of ab...

Hello again,
Just wanted to say thanks again and that fixed my issue. It recognizes the card and is back up and running again.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Will try that after the work day. I of course live in a rural area and have been learning to do this stuff for around a year or more. With Netgears Nighthawk m1 and LB1121 and the Mofi. In the beginning didn't know about Cat lte modems or carrier aggregation or...

Hello, Would appreciate any possible help on this. Running a Mofi 4500 on T-mobile. Was having an issue with carrier aggregation on the mofi so wanted to try the gorlden orb and openwrt systems I read on here. So I flashed this unit to run on Golden orb with a file I found on this site. And had it r...
