Best & Easiest Sprint Router

[Joe43wv]

I have a Sprint Unlimited plan and am looking for the easiest to setup and the best router that will take the SIM. I have been testing with a Yeacomm P21 router and I can get it to connect for a couple of minutes, then it'll drop for a couple of minutes, then it'll keep doing this over and over. If this router will work could someone point me in the right direction as to what could be causing this issue. If not, what is everyone's recommendations on a router that will work.

What does Yeacomm or the place that sold it to you say?

I've never used one of those, never seen one.

I like the openWRT based firmware for routers that can use it.

If you want a decent unit that can serve well enough on a budget:

Done.


Supports all the Sprint bands. Category 6 modem with 2x Carrier Aggregation.

If you want a category 12 modem upgrade. Same parts above with this modem instead of the EM06A:

If you want even better, I can recommend above that.

Thanks for the recommendations.

For the NexQ model, does it work out of the box or do I need to mod it? Also, does it work on both Sprint and T-Mobile?

Install the adapter, then the modem, into the router. Pop the antenna pigtails onto the modem. Close the case. Plug it in. Wait to boot. Follow the configuration tutorial here: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/routers/wifix-r ... 8ghz-wifi/

...Under the tutorials tab.

Same firmware as that router, same setup.

For Sprint you'll likely have r.ispsn or n.ispsn as the APN. If you have x.ispsn I can't help. That is IPV6 only and I've not had good luck setting it up to work right, though I'm certain it can be done.
