Man, that is cool stuff and a lot on information to digest. Thanks for sharing with us and I am intrigued... Just do not have the time now to try this, but one day soon, I have got to!

I've just received an AirMaster 4000D and am not getting a signal even though my Calyx MiFi 8000 is running on band41 currently (indoors with no antenna it picks up a slow but solid signal). The AirMaster 4000D is powering up but the radio information is blank, much like this post (which sounded li...

I hate to bump this thread, but hate even more than that starting a new thread on the same subject! AND I told Bill I will post my findings here I have some information for you on the ATT PREPAID plans. First: 1- You can change your IMEI with ATT. You can call them and they will change it and you c...

This isn't making any sense. The other day when I was testing this I just turned if off and haven't touched it till just now again. I turned it on with the external antenna and today the signal is lower but the download speeds are higher. Can outside temps effect this antenna? The other day it warm...

Yes, it was all the same. I literally was doing a speed test, unscrewing the external antenna and screwing it the 6 inch antennas and doing the speed test again and then reverse the process to confirm that it was an antenna issue. Throw my 2 cents in: Unscrewing external antenna and reconnecting an...

I cannot give you recommendation going directly with T-Mobile since never setup router/modem with their info, but have used SimpleMobile $45 plan (t-mobile network). Works perfectly with WE826 and my EM7455. EM7455 is same as MC except little smaller card. Changed the APN to "simple" and T...

Sure. Here is a link to where the L860-GL conversations were happening last year (page 68 in archive mode). The forum is a bit hard to follow as it's one giant conversation. If you use search for L860 & 1860, you should be able to navigate through it pretty easily. https://forums.whirlpool.net....

FIXED! Spent the better part of the day getting this up and running! Pulling 15-30mbps down, and 5-15mpbs up from the bottom floor of my house. All for 25 bucks a month since I'm taking advantage of the Party Pay. Reminder: Visible deprioritizes Visible customers when Verizon customers are active, ...

I do have a bit of an update. I’ve been unsuccessful with Windows or ROOter, but I did get it to connect via ModemManager. It uses an NCM protocol to connect instead of MBIM or QMI, but it works. I’ve read this card Is designed for a PCIe interface in Windows instead of the typical USB, so I’m not ...

I have ordered recently from Chine, it just takes a bit longer to go through customs.

Oh yea, I do enough ordering from across the waters to understand time involved.

USA seller with US stock, 25 ordered and be in our procession in about 6 days from today

All is good in this crazy world.

Yes sir, have ordered about 11 of them in past week from Amazon for teachers needing cheap internet access via phone. Not looking for used ones from craigslist, need new in the box:) Found USA seller on Ebay what will bulk them to me for $18 so least have an avenue. Cannot of course order them from ...

Any word on those $12 little yellow boxes @Chungus23 ???

Speaking of Sprint bands, Tmobile is now allowing Sprint customers to roam on the Tmobile network, but not the other way around, yet. Last night I have forced my Tmobile phone onto the three Sprint bands 25, 26, and 41, but no signal at all, hoping it will change soon. Good news to know. All the da...

That did the trick, thanks Jim. I was close on my second attempt, my command was one zero short :) On band 41 now with jerry rigged antennas: AT!GSTATUS? !GSTATUS: Current Time: 406 Temperature: 38 Reset Counter: 1 Mode: ONLINE System mode: LTE PS state: Attached LTE band: B41 LTE bw: 20 MHz LTE Rx ...

Using Jim's spreadsheet to generate correct code for locking EM7455 to band 41, but modem will not connect after reset. Before I go into more troubleshooting want to make sure every thing is correct with code. This is what I have after spreadsheet: AT!BAND=10,"SP41",0,10 Entered that into ...

That is interesting about the wifi issue. I still use the WE826 built-in wifi for wireless printer and seems ok. But I do use external router for household wifi. You said: "mini GL-MT300N-V2, which I got for $12 connected behind the we826" Please share where you are getting the GL-MT300N-V...

I will have to research to see if Sim cards go right in external USB enclosures or they still require the Sim to be in the router. If they can be in the USB enclosures, then I could make all this work with a used modem and an enclosure. In my tests using external USB adapter / enclosure the SIM wor...

Router1: WE1326/Sierra EM7565/ATT Tablet plan Router2: WE826-T2/USB Note5 phone/ATT prepaid plan Loadbalance: "wan" interface = internal sierra | "wan1" interface = ethernet cable from Router1 to Router2 WAN port. That is just how I have it setup currently. You could just as eas...

Looks like an M.I.A.

Active March 2020 so got my fingers crossed...

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. W...

I actually started that discussion over at WP :) I did use a Y cable to confirm it’s not power. I’ve seen computers reject modems that aren’t whitelisted, but a modem rejecting the computer is an interesting thought... I’m probably moving down a rabbit hole, but I found a Dell DW5822e driver/firmwa...

Yes sir, I will remember that, lol. I looked at it and thought "wonder if that should be tracfone", naw Bill does not make mistakes

""tradfone.vzwentp" - just a little typo, it should be

tracfone.vzwentp"

Opps,. Just copied what you told me in pm, lol.

I think (and according to @BillA) that APN for PagePlus should be:

tradfone.vzwentp

You may also need TTL of 117

Give that a try...

I cant even get my em7511 or the mc7455 to connect to it.

But a att hotspot will.

Any update or progress on this plan? You ever go over 50Gig hotspot?

Basically what Terry is saying, is that his antenna is BIGGER than yours. lmao jk

HAHAHA, lmao!

I've not had much time to play with this in the past couple days but did want to give a quick update. I have a different setup that uses the EM7565 and ATT tablet plan and the WE1326 router that has worked flawlessly for around a year now. That is good information! I do not totally understand the d...

If Verizon is the only choice in your area, there's a prepaid service called PagePlus for $55/mo with completely unlimited data. Hey BillA, howz it hanging bro? Hope the world is treating you with respect :) I wanted to try PagePlus for a friend some time back (actually thinking for wife as she is ...

First, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I am new at all this so I still have some basic questions. Could you expand a little on why you like the 2 antennas with separation and the RG58U coax better? Also, how far should the separation be between the 2 antennas? I also ha...

I just purchased a Cradlepoint CBA850LP6 and have it mounted inside my motorhome. Currently I am using the 2 paddle antennas that came with it and they are working. However, I feel it could be even better with an external antenna mounted on the roof of the motorhome. Not only would I use it parked ...

I still am without internet access because I had the bright idea to buy a house in the boonies. So frustrating!! Can anybody recommend a Sim/plan I can go out and buy that will work?? I checked that list on this forum and that's why I bought the $75 ATT prepaid. Also, if you figure out a solution p...

You can change the WE826 wifi channel:

Then:

As for the IMEI edit topic, it may be illegal, however, isn't using prepaid phone/tablet plan in a modem/router setup 'illegal'? I wouldn't see why one is an allowed topic over the other except trying to keep it more of a hush hush. That being said, I do get it and agree that it probably shouldn't ...

I understand that the real modems you mentioned does indeed fits best for most. However, not so easy with new beginners like myself. However, I want to have something different with something different to install. I was able to connect both the Coolpad and ac2350 wirelessly. However the ac2350 does...

But would like to know if there is a way to change the IMEI that way I could test to see if that’s actually the issue Very touchy subject and petty sure discussion is frowned upon here. Some say illegal here in USA. I personally do not know if illegal and according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I did NOT think about that and you may be hitting on exact issue. Only the $75 plan ($55 auto-pay) features a hotspot option...

If you wish to learn about User Agent, here are a couple of tips: 1) Go to https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent and look at "user agent string" shown. This is what carriers sniff at. Mobile browsers have a different user string. 2) If using Chrome (or maybe new micr...

Yes they ask for one. I wondering about that myself because I used my modem IMEI thinking that would be the best option. So you entered your modem IMEI and it let you continue to setup plan? Have you tried the SIM in a phone to see if it works (calling and data - browse to sites)? Sorry for all the...

I have not tried the at&t prepaid plan yet, but I am wondering if it is locked to the first registered IMEI and that IMEI must be a phone? When signing up for the at&t prepaid plan do you have to furnish phone IMEI up front (before payment)? Just trying to gather some info about this issue :)

Att seems to be about the best coverage in my area. TMobile hasn’t ever had good coverage here. I grabbed the sim cause it was cheap and was in hopes coverage had expanded. In your exact shoes. AT&T very strong and T-Mobile in fair/good range when using phone. Was happy with at&t ipad plan ...

So, I ended up playing with T-Mobile and didn’t seem to get any signal. So I went with the $65 ($45 in autopay) att prepaid plan with unlimited data. I set the APN to nxtgenphone and the modem is showing a connection. But I can’t get my router to have access. I’m trying to figure out how to change ...

Forgot to mention that there is talk here on forum about people using the at&t unlimited prepaid plan ($70 / $55 autopay I think). Have not really followed and cannot say if good solution, just pointing out have heard mention of it in couple of posts.

What does adjusting the TTL do? Basically hides your hotspot data. Lots of talk about here on the forum. For example, doing a search for "simplemobile ttl: https://wirelessjoint.com/search.php?keywords=simplemobile+ttl Sometimes 64 works and then at other times 65 does the trick. @BillA guided...

I have always activated in a phone first and then verified could browse the internet (make calls too). Once good, moved the sim card over to router. I have years of old 4G phones laying around from different carriers and just use IMEI from one of them them. Unlocked at&t work with t-mobile and v...

I had this posted here and now it’s gone....not sure why exactly..... Pretty sure the board was having some issues or maybe an update went bad and some posts lost. If the netgear LB1120 is unlocked, SimpleMobile $50 truly unlimited ($45 prepaid) may be a good choice for you. Using it myself in plac...

I'm also using the 2.5 power supply I bought from The Wireless Haven that they suggested for this. Jim knows what power supplies work, he builds and deals with the equipment daily. I am a tinkerer and have many power supplies laying around, one just happen to be correct voltage and rated 5 amp. Plu...

To add to the band 71 dellima think there is also a. Issue with good signal connection. Since all the antennas are actually tuned to get 700 MHz and up frequencies. Unless there is some type of filter, there is nothing really restricting the reception of 600Mhz with 700 MHz antenna. Signals care ab...

I went ballistic and instead of 12V & 2A power supply which was claimed to be sufficient for this little thing I upgraded my FW on the router as well as power supply which is now feeding 12V and 5A to the router. More amperage is a good thing:) One of the first things I did was replace the supp...

I am not familiar with the netgear lb1120 and what menu(s) it has. Best to google the question using your modem model or someone else can do better answering that than I. Using the same coax as in-place satellite dish is far from ideal. Two different types of coax. Satellite uses 75Ohm and LTE route...

Thanks! This has definitely been a ride lol. From what i have been able to find(as long as i am looking at the right kind of tower lol) the at&t tower is approximately 1 mile away. Unfortunately it is washington state so there are a lot of trees and hills. First thing you need to make sure of, ...

Completely understand lol. I did that incase anyone had worked with them before. Here is the antenna i bought based off the research i did on the modem. https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-6000450- ... B00DN3J03O Your right it has to Ts-9 connections that plug into the modem. But it is a flat square ant...

In no way is this a promotional post. I have just started dabbling in LTE internet and this was how i got into it. Ripp off? Maybe. But for someone who pays not much less than that for internet that is 10 times slower it is a miracle. Now my main question wasn't clear and that is because i am tryin...

Interesting. I have a em7455 in WE826 and speeds are not that great on t-mobile. Have been thinking about getting a Quectel to try for band 66 (no 71 here yet). Maybe some others will have some useful insight on the subject...

Could this be a promotional post?

Those are some interesting screenshots. In the past, band 3 was overseas only. Band 11 is Japanese BUT I have heard that it may be coming (or already here?) to USA. If it were me, could not resist trying to lock onto each and see what the speeds are. Maybe some band guru's will enlighten us both wha...

If this is the same problem you reported here https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=6000#p6000 I would follow @steveg advice and use the link provided. Had same issue after failed attempt when updating GoldenOrb. My WE826 was acting exactly as you describe. Took me 4-5 tries to get my t...

You are in fact connected to Band 2 and CA Band 12, which should give pretty good results. Those were always the best bands for me. But, your signal levels do not look good, matter of fact they are considered poor. If you had better figures than shown in your image, something has changed. Water in a...

Using either the mc7455 and the em7511 using a sprint sim from venn mobile. It will work in att hotspot but it wont work with the generic firmware in either.

You think maybe I should call again? See if I get a different answer. Heck yea, call them. If you can get to an "engineer" as they call themselves, then you are likely to get some good solid info. On a serious note, there are some very knowledgeable technicians that know where to find inf...

Well all employees make mistakes though. For example had a new tower go up thought it was AT&T. Called them they say no not ours. Get ahold of the property owner yep it's AT&T. Everyone makes mistakes ( i have already made 3 today) and was not trying to point that out, only that band 3 migh...

Hello all, Currently use T-Mobile with a MC7455. 2 way carrier aggregation with band 2 and 12. Been thinking of upgrading myself at times to more powerful modem.

I figured I could always improve on them by aiming my directional antennas when I get a usable SIM.

ok good info.. I am getting a tmobile test drive sent to me so I can check speeds at my house. Should I just stick with the CBA850 I have with the Tmobile SIM, provided that I get good speeds? I am unsure of how to set the TTL since I only use the CBA850 as a modem and run an amplifi mesh network i...

Really hard to recommend anything when not sure of your terrain and environment (other than your description). One thing for sure: DO NOT use a splitter to combine two antennas into one port! LTE is not designed to operate like that and you will end up with very poor results. If you must a use ampli...

How I set mine up was by following the tutorials right here on forum.

Love it when people get creative and a plan comes together. You should post some pic later and show the world your setup.

By desired result I meant to stop it from showing data use. I thought that was the only use of the TTL setting. Ok, got ya. Some people discuss more speed and others about hiding usage with TTL. You said "ATT Prepaid Tablet/Hotspot" so I assume the ipad plan? If so, I personally have foun...

Have TTL set at 65 on my ATT plan. Not sure what you mean by "desired result", pretty wide term:)

On my we826 do not use built-in wifi, use ethernet to another wifi router and it also has TTL set for 65.

Kind of sounded like a wooded area. Flat panels are better than highly directional (yagi) in your situation for sure. You might even try pointing them in other directions away from tower while watching your signal levels. Reflection is a mighty powerful thing in the LTE world. Just remember to "...
