WE826T Won't Connect

Post by effinpissed »

We experienced a high wind storm on 3/26 and lost our connection with AT&T. I've tried restarting the router numerous times since then without success. I turned off WiFi in the router using an Ethernet connection to my PC. Then I entered the system log and it looks like the system settings may have changed.

I spent 1/2 hr manually typing this out on my android since I have no WiFi to my computers. Android wouldn't let me copy and paste the complete system log from the .odt file I saved on my phone. I have 3 more pages of output I could post manually but I don't have the time to do so.

A friend of mine purchased a WE826T at the same time I did. We both had connection problems from the beginning. I upgraded my modem from a Sierra to a Quectel and it allowed me to stay connected for several months. He upgraded his modem and increased his power supply from the original 12v 2a to a 12v 5a unit. He also updated the firmware and purchased some Russian antennas that are no longer available. He hasn't had any connection issues since. My unit is still attempting to connect so I might try his upgrades and see what happens.
