Wireless Joint

Got my router stuff today. Installed the antenna pigtails and modem. Got it all hooked up correctly. Logged in to the router address all kinds of stuff comes up and it is then I realize, I have no earthly idea what all this means or what I am doing. I am in WAY over my head. When do I put the sim in...

I am sure I will. I think it will be delivered in time for the weekend.
Is this hard to setup on a Linux computer or should I use my Windows laptop?

Just now getting my feet wet with my new purchase.
NEXR6GO router
Quectel EP06-A modem
SMA antenna adapter kit
4.0 amp power adapter
Will be using with outdoor dual Wilson directional array I built and installed.
Visible SIM

Should I start a new thread when my order gets here and list all pieces on my setup?

You hit the nail on the head. I am capable of just about anything. It is just unknown to me.
Thanks, I think this is very interesting. I like it here!

Does this router and modem include detailed instructions? I really have very little idea what I am doing.

Went ahead and ordered the NEXR5GO with the Quectel EP06-A from The Wireless Haven . Maybe not the latest and greatest, but it seems to be a pretty common choice.

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?

Thanks. this sounds like good advice. The modems cost a bit more than I thought.
What about a lesser priced router? Would it be better to spend a little more on a modem and save a little on a router?

I already have a 2 directional Wilson antenna array setup with separate low loss cables that I built for the Router/Modem. All I need is a router and modem.
I think I will go ahead and try to return the GL and buy the WG3526-p. What would be a good moderate priced modem to use?

Should I buy something like the WG3526-P from The Wireless Haven? Can I take the EC25-AF out of the GL-X750 and use it?

That’ a loaded question. It depends on your goals, needs and budget. It’s like asking what’s the best vehicle. Depends what you’re hauling. Kids, lumber, or babes. A two seater convertible sports car is fun but not always practical or affordable. I want something to replace my Hughesnet satellite a...

Sorry, that was a typo. I have the correct apn entered.

Great! I guess I screwed up! What do you suggest? Which router? Is the modem card usable?

OK. Trying to get this to work. Visible SIM works fine in phone. Wireless connection is strong and connected. When in GL router I get "SIM card not registered" Is this one hard to setup?
Already changed apn to vsbleinternet and applied. What should I try next?

Should I combine the 2 cables or just test only 1 antenna?

Good idea. I will do that thanks

What is the easiest carrier to set up and use on my GL-X750V2 ? I am new at this. Best signal is band 5 on verizon network

All of my antennas are 50 ohm. Got the 2 antennas mounted and aimed as best I could. Haven't decided on an ISP yet. Is it possible to use the booster and cell phone on 1 of the antennas in the X configuration to check the aiming?

Now I need to decide on a data plan. I let Mint expire and am using Visible on my phone so i don't want to take out the SIM. Verizon seems to be better signal here. Should I get another Visible SIM or maybe try someone else on Verizon network?

I think I have enough info for my antenna install from another thread. Maybe can attempt this weekend.

I have used the booster with one of the directional antennas and Cell Tower Locator app to locate the tower I want to aim the antennas for the modem. It is 2.4 miles away and a pretty good signal.
I was thinking about mounting the booster antenna about 40' away on another mast.

I will give it a try this weekend. How far apart?
I do have an omnidirectional antenna for the booster.
Thanks

Cell phone gets a usable signal outside. Use booster inside. Live in metal building. -91 to -95db inside with booster on. 2.4 miles to tower

I have 2 Wilson directional antennas. No signal inside my home. Would the best thing to try is mount them outside in an "X" configuration, aim close to tower, and hook up to the antenna connections on my GL-X750V2 ?

I have done nothing so far. Kinda got cold feet and didn't want to screw something up.

Newguy here. Been reading up on LTE internet equipment and related stuff. Have a -90 signal inside with a booster. Visible (Verizon)and Mint (T-Mobile) phone services. Just bought a GL-X750V2. I really haven't tried anything yet. Is there any chance of making this stuff function? Where do I start?
