Hey antenna wise those small things won’t do much. Look into directional antennas, & see if you have line of sight to your local tower. With your low speeds you should be able to use antenna to find less congested tower and get 5-10x speeds
Hey dude, thanks for the video!...I'm wondering if the data used by this device, because some providers differentiate, is "tethered" data or does the software make the cell provider think this thing is using ALL cellphone data? it's annoying they throttle either "type" of traffic depending on plan (or charge more)
if you take those thin antennas and find away to put them outside above the house,...you will get better signal and faster speeds,...it does not matter which type of antenna you use,...but the higher your antenna is outside, the better reception your going to get
Hi Mike what antenna connection are these , as was going to buy this 4g router and a hi gain 4g antenna (seen a 18dbi gain) to pull the best signal possible . Thanks
its actually the reception you are getting looking at the bars you were getting on your phone you not getting much so with this router i advise you get out door antennas not wifi antennas but directional 4g antennas and place it on your roof and point it in the direction of the tower and your speeds will increase tremendusly
Mike could you possibly show us how you flashed the OpenWRT software for your router and configured it for the LTE. I just purchased one of these from eBay.
@Ben Lewis have you checked out LTEhacks? I don't want to put my personal information out on youtube, but that is a good place to start. Also, where did you buy the router? Is it a KuWFi router?
There are actually three firmware options available. Having tested all of them, the best one is GoldenOrb or WiFix. 1. OpenWRT > openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/zbt/zbt_wg3526_16m 2. GoldenOrb (search for "ZBT WG3526") > www.ofmodemsandmen.com/firmware.html Latest release Oct 27 2019 > www.ofmodemsandmen.com/upload/wg3526-GO2019-10-27.zip 3. WiFix > drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q7gGb33rK5z0zPR7cITCczu0ACG0WDxA The modem that comes with the standard WG3526 is the Quectec EC25-AF which is a CAT4 modem with no CA (Carrier Aggregation) therefore it only works on a single channel at a time. However its advantage is that it has all the new Tmobile bands B2/B4/B5/B12/B13/B14/B66/B71, in particular B66/B71. KuWfi has just released a new version of this router with the newer Quectel EP06-A modem which is a CAT6 modem with CA, basically it can download at twice the speed of the EC25-AF using CA (two bounded channels). This modem is virtually the same as the Sierra MC7455 but less expensive. Here's the link for the WG3526 with the EP06-A CAT6 modem (bands: B2/B4/B5/B7/B12/B13/B25/B26/B30/B66) www.amazon.com/KuWFi-802-11AC-1200Mbps-2-4-5-0GHz-Wireless/dp/B0827G5RNX By the way those sub 20Mbps speeds are terrible, I get close to 100Mbps on Tmobile with the EP06-A modem. ;)
Is it possible to connect a normal phone to make calls without affecting the data plan with this router? What area does it cover over wifi and how many users?
I have a we826 and it's garbage town. I freezed up every hour and I have to unplug and plug it back in again to get it to work. How's this one please tell me it can run for a day straight without acting up

@__ < Sure do, for example to lock it on band 66 your would send this command: AT+QCFG="66",2e0,20000000000000000,0 Where "66" is just a band label, it's the hex numbers after the "band" which need to be calculated for each band or combination of bands.

i have a mofi 4500 with a mc7455 i was thinking of getting this and put my mc7455 in it.. ill eventually upgrade to the em7565 later... do you think its worth it? i have att, and i already have outdoor antennas.. the mofi is bridged to my wifi router.
Keep the mofi 4500 the mofi and this is the same but it's in a different case For what I know Not sure if the mofi Has a internal sata drive connector or a SD card slot or Gigabit Internet But that will be the only reason why I would consider upgrading other than that it's the same And don't forget to subscribe
It's available on Amazon at www.amazon.com/KuWFi-802-11AC-1200Mbps-2-4-5-0GHz-Wireless/dp/B0827G5RNX Comes with a fast Quectel EP06-A modem (up to 200Mbps, the cheaper version a lot slower), all you have to do is insert an active SIM card with unlimited data.

Does this thing have a band selection? If so you can get better speeds. I’m assuming you’re on band 12 which is always busy and most used

Yours is most likely defective but I can tell you this one works really well this the MC7565
can you send me a link to a faster modem that the EC25-AF MODEM you mentioned @8;45 thanks
does it come with a set password that works ?Do you have to hook it to a computer to set it up?
What is the software are you using and where can I download ? Thank you
The software that i used is goldenorb firmware

you need to get two yagi directional antennas then your speeds will increase
So you have the unlimited plan do you have to pay an extra fee for hot spot tether with the router if you have an unlimited phone plan?
No

@@MikeTech41 i don't believe the MoFi supports all the different bands like KuWFi example 66 or 71......unless it's unlocked via firmware on the KuWFi

No.
Thank you!
Can i buy this and use it with t mobile?

Video coming soon
Setting up the AT&T service Should be easy just plug in the SIM card and use
were you able to get ATT set up on it?
@@SuperChopperpilot I was able to get Netbuddy working on the router Go to netbuddy.com for more information
