MC7455 Unable to Connect

Post by kylesfishin »

I recently set up my WG3526 with MC7455. I just activated my PagePlus SIM and installed it into the router. After following all of the instructions on this site (including the troubleshooting connection issue post), I'm not able to connect. I've reset the router to default settings and reflashed the firmware (from ofmodemsandmen). APN is set to vzwinternet. The router recognizes the SIM phone #.

Below is what I was seeing before the reflash.

Code: Select all

at!gstatus?
!GSTATUS: 
Current Time:  77		Temperature: 38
Reset Counter: 1		Mode:        ONLINE

LTE band:      B2     		LTE bw:      10 MHz

EMM state:     Deregistered   	Attaching

PCC RxM RSSI:  -89		RSRP (dBm):  -116
PCC RxD RSSI:  -66		RSRP (dBm):  -92

RSRQ (dB):     -9.1		Cell ID:     03DCC818 (64800792)
SINR (dB):     10.2
And this is what I'm now seeing after.

Code: Select all

If I use at!selrat=06 to set to LTE only, I get the following:

RSRQ (dB):     -10.4		Cell ID:     03DCC816 (64800790)
SINR (dB):     -1.8
This is using the antennas that came with the router. I purchased a Proxicast Cross-Polarized (MIMO) 7-10 dBi antenna, but am waiting on the correct cables to hook it up.

Can anyone point me in a direction to get this working right?

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...

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

tracfone.vzwentp
