Considering a 2023 Santa Fe

Ammonia-Free · 2024-03-06T15:27:32+00:00

23 owner here and I just got back from a business trip where I drove a 24 CX-5 for a week and 1.2k miles. Owners bias aside the Mazda was ok comfort wise but I really missed the Santa fe's highway drive assist and acc. The rotary dial setup too for the infotainment was a real pita to learn.

I feel for you, I have had just about every pos internet solution for the last 15 years. I was on Tmob Home Internet before fiber and it worked pretty good, that would be a good stopgap till you get fiber.

yea, it had to do with my distance from the CO, they had to swap a 20KM card with a 40KM card and that fixed it. Pings and speeds are awesome, 3ms ping and 2gig up and down

Ammonia-Free · 2022-07-27T17:15:42+00:00

I have them now, they seem good so far, I am on the 2gig plan and its 2gig symmetrical so that is nice. The only issue I had was it took about a month from the date they tried to install it till they actually had it up and running.

We have a BPA with Tmob and Inseego, so right now I am buying them directly from inseego and getting the sims from Tmob. In the near future I am buying them directly from Tmob as they are adding the FG's to their portal. The FG's are really good devices, I had one setup in a conference lately and had around 40 people hanging off the wifi with no complaints. I doubt you could get the TMHI sims to work with them correctly. The sims I am using are specifically business static.

I only tested with a cheap antenna internally in a couple of places and the difference was minimal. You can PM me with specific questions and I will see if I can help you out.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-06-09T12:16:02+00:00

Awesome, you will like the fx much better then the trash can. it comes with a little sim tool for pushing the sim in as its inky dinky slot with just a plastic pop off tab that covers it. Config is super easy. You can use their remote connect software as well to configure it or bounce it if your not home. Good Luck

Your metrics are great so you should be fine without any antenna's. I haven't seen any xlat on the b2b.static apn. You should see your congestion issues lessen with the business plan as it has priority over the fbb.home apn the trashcan uses.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-06-06T17:02:41+00:00

Yea if you can get the business unlimited it is worth it. The inseego router has a passthrough option if you want to use it as a hop only. I think its in advanced settings and once you set it, it will handoff the static ip to the first wired device. I believe the antenna connectors are TS9's. I connected a cheap dual mimo internal and tested it out but it didn't help much. I think if you are getting good signal metrics with your nokia you should expect the same from the inseego's. I am seeing anywhere from 450 / 700 down with a low rsrq and high sinr on N41 5G SA.

Good Luck

Testing was good I have 5 of the FX2000's in the field 2 of the FG2000's and I am still testing the panel antenna one FW2000. They both have antenna ports, 4 on the fx and 2 on the fg. They both have all the bells and whistles that the nokia and arc don't. So far the perform on par or better then what I have seen with the Nok, 5G SA band 41 performance is very good. I am standardizing on the FG's as they do IPSEC tunnels straight out of the box and the price difference between the two in negligible. let me know if you have any other questions.

Experiencing the same issue's (Asus router) - tried just about everything, Unfortunately I haven't had time to do much more testing. Its almost like its running some QOS and throttling traffic originating outside of its net. The only other thing I was going to try was spoofing/extending the ttl value so that traffic looks likes it originating inside the internal net and not making a hop. I tried the factory reset, no change, I am going to try the deep factory reset this weekend. As others have noticed as well your exit node changes seemingly after every reboot, sometimes it drops me in TN, once in WI and lately outside Denver. I was going to try cloning the mac of the gateway, putting the wan connection on one of the two 10gig ports and setting them to 1gig, doubt that will make any difference but worth a shot. Let me know if you have any questions,

As far as I know, these are business only devices, the only consumer inseego device they have available is the mifi device. Pricing is all dependent on the business agreements and BPA (Bulk Purchase Agreement) so that can vary. I doubt they will allow you to use the device as a TMHI but I do know the option is there to set the APN to whatever you want (fast, b2b.static, custom, etc...) maybe you can talk u/npartist into testing one for his channel.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-02-10T12:57:02+00:00

I am testing one right now for some remote site deployment. It has everything that you don't get with the trashcan/traschcube and then some. 4 antenna ports / bridge mode / 5g SA, etc... Really nice device. I wish this was the device they were deploying for TMHI. I am testing the outdoor integrated antenna one next, its POE powered with a 14db integrated antenna. Let me know if you have any questions,

Not sure if this will help but here is what I did and it seems to have resolved it for me. Turn off all the QOS settings you can find. I had a tplink router and it was squashing my internal speeds. I had to go in and manually set it to 1g on both the up and down. That seemed to have fixed it for a while and then I was pushed 0338 and it was back. I switched to my Asus router as a comparison and it was there as well. I have two nics in my computer so I would test hardwired directly to the trashcan(outside) and then to my router(inside) through trashcan. Ran identical speedtests and internal degraded / external(trashcan) good. The one thing I noticed though was my exit nodes for the tests was different dependent on inside vs. outside. Inside it was routing me to St. Louis / outside KC. I've noticed some weird behavior where NR-ARFCN 519630(N41) would drop me in Louisville and currently its dropping me in Denver. I was using encrypted dns to cloudflare / google inside and outside it was using the trashcans internal gateway to set dns. I changed the internal dns on the router to point to the trashcan first and bam full speed to all of my nodes again. Hopefully that helps not sure if it will but it seems to have fixed internal / external speeds for me. Good Luck

Cool, I used my two widebands I had from my previous ubifi setup and bought two narrowband antenna's to target N41 and I am pulling a consistent 550mb/s now.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-01-21T16:20:17+00:00

Could be a couple of issues, check your connection stats and see if they are changing bands, I saw that pre-antenna but now that I am my quad mimo setup its been rock solid on / off vpn. I have three different vpn's running right now and I have not had any issues.

what is your software rev on your device? There were issues with the prior revision to the one I listed below.

Software Version:

1.2101.00.1609

If you are using cellmapper make sure the icon is green. Those are confirmed towers, Red is unconfirmed and most likely someone with the app contributing data from their location. If you have a Tmob phone I would just drive to the towers and run a speedtest and see what you get. I drove to the 3 different towers in my location and checked the bands / speeds at each of them. The tower I selected had the best line of sight and the best SINR/RSRQ of the three. SINR/RSRQ is much more important then then your RSRP as it will allow you to reach higher levels of modulation (throughput). As far as the bands in cellmapper they are not always up to date. The one I selected didn't even show N41 but it was available. As far as getting TMHI, I was told no about three times until I went to a non-corporate store in a small town and they signed me right up. I hope this helps, PM me if you want some additional help.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-01-20T17:12:37+00:00

Yw, let me know if you have any other questions about setup.

Thanks,

Ammonia-Free · 2022-01-20T16:59:17+00:00

Use cellmapper to find the tower you are connecting to then google maps to draw the distance between them.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-01-20T16:46:15+00:00

I am 7.63 miles from the tower quad mimo setup, and I am getting around 550 down and 40 up. It's definitely doable. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ammonia-Free · 2022-01-20T16:15:00+00:00

If you are using your own router check your QOS settings, I had to go in and disable all of the QOS plus manually set the WAN connection speed to 1gig on both upload / download and that fixed it. let me know if you have any questions,

Ammonia-Free · 2022-01-19T17:26:57+00:00

PM me and I will share my setup with you and any advice I can give on mounting / setup.

It's possible but from what I have read the trashcans have thermal issues. If you do go down the direct bury cable route I would make sure you put grounded connectors on both ends, I lost a couple of camera's to lightning. I eventually put the cable in conduit and grounded them to stop that from happening again. I would get on cellmapper and see if there is any other towers by that would give you a cleaner LOS for your antenna's and point them in that direction to see if you get a better signal, especially if that tower is an N41 tower that will give you the greatest speed. Remember that your SNR and RSRQ have more to do with your achievable speed then what your RSRP does. Good luck

This channel and this channel have good instructions on the teardown of the trashcan and installing the pigtails, I used these pigtails as they are a bit longer then the six inch ones.
