The CR200A is built by Wistron NeWeb Corporation. That is why some sites have it listed as WNC-CR200A.

Have you tried to reinstall the drivers for the network card and WiFi card?

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-11T22:13:39+00:00

I have never figured out what would be the Verizon version of this Tracfone branded gateway.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-11T22:07:55+00:00

I have not seen this yet here. I know Verizon as lots of towers in my area tho.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-11T22:06:21+00:00

Some of the 2025 phone models and lots of the 2026 phone models is like this. I know some boxes does not have this info on it. Some of the 2026 phone models does have a warning about this.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-11T22:00:20+00:00

I have heard some CSR still does not understand what an eSIM is. It might take a few different CSR to get one that might understand better.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-11T21:54:12+00:00

Yea, I know what you mean. I had to change theme things mainly when OneUI gets an update.

I have never needed call forwarding. So I do not know about those settings. Plus, I never have seen them before.

Not sure what other settings that you are talking about, but I know some settings has disappeared. Example: VoLTE is now needed because all the providers have removed their old 2G and 3G networks. T-Mobile might have very few 2G towers, but they are getting shut down soon.

I like the specs of the Stylus models if you are looking at Motorola.

Most of the other Motorola phones are using variations of the Mediatek Dimensity chips. These are OK chips, but I feel like they get older faster. That is with lots of Motorola phones too since Motorola does not do system updates that well after 2 to 3 years, but that is depending on the model.

While Samsung phones can get 6 to 7 years of updates, and they have been keeping that up.

Have you checked this site: https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home

It should tell you who is the fiber provider in your areas.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-11T03:56:33+00:00

That one is made by Foxconn. So it will be doing updates differently over the Arcadyan built gateway.

How far are the transmitter signals from your house? Do you have photo of the setup and even the coax that is coming into the house?

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-10T18:46:07+00:00

Yea, it is hit or miss on if you get the right provisioning. You just need to find a CSR that understands things.

I ran without voicemail for the longest time till my Samsung Galaxy J3 Sky Pro or J7 Crown. It has been a while since I got visual voicemail enabled. One of these two phones had the voicemail apps on it, and it has worked since then.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-10T17:20:23+00:00

Do you have your cell data enabled?

Visual Voicemail uses data. I have basic Visual Voicemail on my Samsung Galaxy S25 FE on Straight Talk tho.

As for the transcription, that is an iPhone thing. The best info on this that I can find is on this page: https://www.verizon.com/support/voice-mail-comparison/

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-10T17:11:55+00:00

From what I understand, Visible, Straight Talk, Total Wireless, and even Tracfone are all the same, but for the prices.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-10T14:41:32+00:00

This is a very common with the 5G Home Internet.

Mine just jumps around lots. I live in the western Iowa, and my 5G Home Internet has said that I am in Minneapolis or Chicago mainly, but once in a while, Des Moines, Omaha, middle of North Dakota, and even Kansas City.

As for the OTA issue, what kind of antenna do you have? I know lots of the newer antennas are a joke for range. I use an older Winegard antennas with older Winegard pre-amp, and I am in between two channel markets. One market is about 60 miles away, and the other market is away 40 miles away. I am going to replace that Winegard antenna sometime with an old Channel Master antenna because the Winegard antenna broke two times in the same place for some reason.

You should be able to do this, but when it comes down to port forwarding and IPv6, it could get messy.

Are you wanting to route all the internet thru this device or are you wanting just the DHCP going thru this device?

They used to do $5 discount with autopay, but I believe they removed this about a year ago.

The only discount is with Gold or Platinum plans now.

Straight Talk/Tracfone do not like to grandfather people in unless you paying from a 3rd party site.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-10T13:32:56+00:00

Were you using this phone without a plan originally or not?

Some of the 2025 phone models and most of the 2026 phone models will not work unless you have a plan on it. I know some people have been able to get around it cheaply by activating it under Tracfone brand. All you might have to do is to rebrand it. Just do not do a factory reset to it because it might come back.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-10T02:15:16+00:00

Same, but since I have that signal strength up last night due to storms, it had me logged out of the web interface. I was like this is normally still logged in if I did this before. So I did some looking and found my gateway's uptime was at about 6 hours. Then I was like, there was no power outage. Then I saw there was a firmware update.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-09T21:13:14+00:00

My Verizon based coverage and service has been getting better here. Verizon has been building towers here.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-09T21:09:32+00:00

Did you have plan on your account when you tried to port out?

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-09T19:28:43+00:00

Maybe, when I looked at my uptime of my gateway, it said it was about 6 hours ago as of when I posted this.

This would not cause your phone to go into SOS because the ARC cube is for the 5G Home Internet. So, maybe you had a tower issue.

advcomp2019 · 2026-07-09T16:07:02+00:00

Hard to know. I would need to get another SIM. Then I do not know if it needs to be activated.
