Looking to maybe upgrade my modem

Post by habituallimit »

I'm on the calyx plan. I currently have a mc7455 modem. I still get disconnected once per day. Any Modem recommendations? Should I consider upgrading my router it's a we826? Disconnects are not a huge deal but since I'm upgrading my antenna's figured I'd ask what's going on in the modem department.

I read that some were having better success with Quectel modems. Wanted to get some feedback on it if true.

The Sierra MC7411 works good, in my opinion.

If you want a power upgrade for not much more, the Quectel EM12G I've used with Calyx before.

I switched from an EP06 to an EM12 and although I'm not seeing much faster speeds, it has been pretty stable the last few days. No disconnects in about 3 days. I have mine in a USB with GL-1300 router.
