It's a mobile hotspot, unlikely just like the Netgear MR1100. It's not needed if it's AT&T postpaid unlimited plan.

Propriety firmware, best to contact them. Though I don't think they will help you as they want you to buy the T-Mobile version if there is one. Usually they rename the modem's id and only whitelist of known serial number from your router to prevent a swap like what you are trying to do.

Go with the postpaid unlimited plan and keep your netgear if you don't have issues with it.

freep, have you tried flashing without a sim inserted? Try to flash the verizon firmware instead of generic.

BigMac79 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:52 pm Could be the B13 isn’t used by too many people here (if that’s how it works).

That should be it. B13 travels farther so you get better signal as well.

So I've ran speed tests and checked the modem several times today and especially during my normal deprioritization periods. Seems to be working great by removing B66 from the rotation. I've generally been on B13 and have speeds in the 25-40mbps down and 10-18mbps up. So, looks like this is working....

As this is a fresh build of new equipment, I'm motivated to get the direct remote access working. I'm assuming I'm not the only one that has been down this road and hope the more experience members can point in the right direction and or provide some guidance how to achieve a remote connection with...

That was one theory I had as the tower is probably pretty old. But, if I can carrier aggregate enough, I think it should be fine. I don't think I can get a unlimited verizon plan off like ebay or anything right? Pretty sure they are mostly scams. Maybe you could put your AT&T hotspot sim in you...

Great! Maybe you could chime in here https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=8& ... 769#p11761 if you did anything differently to resolve the issue as this user has similar problem. I rather not reproduce his problem if there is a solution already.

If you are deprioritized, VPN won't help. Changing to another tower nearby will if it's not congested like yours.

How do you change the ttl settings to stop throttling? I have a Verizon hotspot with 15gb as well. But that’s our only internet, we desperately need more, or some unlimited, unthrottled.

I'll try to reproduce your problems and see if I could solve them tomorrow. I happen to have a CBA850 with MC400LP6 laying around.

Correct but add Band 4 which is 8 so

OK so I've ran the code to include B2, B5 and B13 and left out B66. The CA is working as it's went from B2 to B2+B5 during the same 10 minute period. Maybe it just likes B66 now for some reason. The numbers aren't that different than with B66. Signal is a bit better but the other numbers are about ...

The response is !READY The reason I wasn't able to see the other three slots must have been browser based. I switched to a different machine and different browser and can now see the list.

freep wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:42 pm Oh yeah, the sim was definitely in it. Should I have pulled it before resetting to OEM?

Well I don't think it matters since you deleted all the firmwares. But I do think you need the Verizon sim in to flash manually with a Verizon firmware and won't let you flash the generic?

Thanks to both of you for that. Yipzy I checked that post but it's all for AT&T and mine is with Verizon. I still can't figure out why all the sudden it won't CA with the other bands B2, B5, B13 that it was before. I know the towers and the modem will do it because it was doing it before. Will ...

But the weird thing is I can still only see one slot in the system>system control>Modem firmware section. The entry is : Active Carrier Current Package Checked Verizon Check for available firmware I'm tempted to attempt another firmware load in this section but I think I'll wait until I hear back. ...

I know how to select the bands I want but how do you tell it to pick one before the other (a primary and a CA one)? Like gscheb said, you can't do that. Your modem will switch it around and normally it will set the higher bandwidth as the primary or you could try to restart the mode. Though you cou...

gscheb wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 5:11 pm I know in the past if my primary band is band 2 (15 mhz) CA with band 12 (5mhz). Speeds are allot faster if that scenario is switched around. That is what I am talking about.

Oh. Yeah that is true but his speed is down to unusable which shouldn't do that unless deprioritized.

My speeds slow down in the early morning and late at night. Mid-Day like now I'm pulling 30mbps down and 8mbps up. But when it slows down it is below the 600kbps which made me think the same thing at first. Your settings are fine. This is the classic deprioritization. You can't really do anything e...

It shouldn't show any firmware after clearing the firmwares and carrier preferences. Maybe you need to remove the sim and try again and also delete the firmware. Then without the sim, try to load/update firmware manually from the post I linked. If it still doesn't work. Try my next suggestion below....

It's aggregating with another 15 Mhz so it shouldn't be only when it's not doing the CA so he just needs to test each band individually.

Every since I've ran this the modem will only lock onto Band 66 for some reason. Before as you could see in previous post it was constantly switching to 13, 2, 5 or 66. I seem to be getting deprioritized (it's not all the time that I'm throttled) now that I'm over 50gb of use and am wondering if it...

freep wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 4:55 pm The error I'm getting in the log is "Timed out waiting for device pmip2 to replug."

Maybe it's waiting for the Verizon firmware you deleted as it is trying to switch to it?

gscheb wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 4:24 pm How should you find out? I did by doing what I said.

You click on the tower points on cellmapper and they show details of bands belonging to them. If one of the towers he stated with B71 is the one he is connecting to then that tower has B71.

Have seen cell mapper to be wrong before. What I did was got the EC25-AF since it has all the bands. Made a list of bands to check and band locked them one by one to see what I had. Turned out had Band 71 when cell mapper didn't say so. OP is stating towers around him have B71. That means users of ...

MC400LP6 if you must have CBA850. You will have problems with Verizon sim due to propriety router firmware.

Yes but in this area other T-Mobile bands like 2,4, etc. are so weak and slow they are useless for anything unless I happen to go to the mall or in one of their stores where they have a booster that lets met get up to 90 Mb but go back outside and the speed is back down between zero and 2 Mb again!...

BigMac79 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 3:39 pm So you literally combine them to get to the band you want

Correct. When it's 10 or greater, you need to put it in as a hexadecimal number. So 10=A, 11=B, and so on. It's why your default band configuration has letters.

I didn't try it by replacing the <0x0> with the <1>. Just did that and it accepted it. Thank you! This is all new to me so trying to figure it out. Really appreciate the quick response. Now to figure out how to aggregate 13 and 66 my best two bands and avoid 5 and 2. B13+B66 AT+QCFG="band"...

Calyx is good if you have good signals. Priority unlimited data due to how it is provisioned which is incredible IIRC. It's rare you get caught with device mismatch. My friend has been using it over a year in a Foxconn modem.

I've been looking for a solution to have the sim card separated from the router as the router will stay together with the antenna. The idea is to be able to switch between one of our 3 carriers to get the best signal, however ideally without having to open the radio+antenna box. I noticed peplink h...

Not sure about that. The potential buyer just asked if it had Poe or not. Thanks The POE version is WG3526-P. Regular is WG3526 without POE capability.

So basically what you are saying it that B71 will never work.

The tower determines what bands your phone will latch on.
