    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Yes! A DIY wireless hotspot; which works on all carriers, and on all LTE bands across the globe. Just insert a SIM, set the correct APN through OpenWRT, and go. Need to figure out how to disable DHCP on LAN, yet still enable it for WLAN. That way it can be a plug and play wired ethernet modem...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Haha... exactly the packaginges I would have needed to. I had tried the one prior, but had yet to try this one. I will give this a whirl in the next few days to compare it to LEDE. Gotta head out of state this weekend. Haha, I know what I'll call it.. Neither a hotspot, nor a modem...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Hmmm... although network wide, everything on port 80 is getting 4-5Mbs/s, any other port or protocol is getting throttled down to 60Kbs/s again, just like Windows 10 ICS set-up. I'm thinking that T-Mobile is identifying networked components as "tethered" devices to their "registered" device...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Tried that build, but still couldn't register the cdc-wdm0 device with the MC7455 plugged in. At the suggestion of a member of the Sierra Wireless Community Forums, I ended up flashing the LEDE 4.4 Kernel (which I gather is just a flavor of OpenWRT with some extra bells and whistles), on a Pi3...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Alright, so.. Repeated this process using compatible hardware "Raspberry Pi 2 - Model B", the latest version of OpenWRT (15.05.1), and followed the walkthrough posted here (https://forum.sierrawireless.com/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=10117#p39975) exactly as posted, with no success. 1.) Flashed an...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Will do...thanks! Now that I am starting to become familiar with the Pi, and linux in general, this should help with other applications (especially seeing as I have an extra Pi3 laying around now...)

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    I believe that OpenWRT hasthe most recent release of Chaos Calmer (15.05.1) as a pre-built IMG to flash available on their Raspberry Pi device wiki page. Haven't downloaded and tried yet. Waiting on shipping for another day...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    So, I figured out why Pi3 wouldnt work. Pi3 build from SFX is built off of a Designated Driver trunk which there are no compatable packages to install to handle QMI (i had to "--force-depends" with thr generic Pi2 repository, and the packages didnt work. Howevsr, the Pi2 build aavailable from...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Sounds like you have your hands full there. I am quickly learning that this wireless module - the Sierra Wireless MC7455 - is not an easy thing to work with in ANY environment. Outside of being tied directly to a Windows 10 machine, with Sierra's specific drivers installed, and using Sierra's...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    So, thankfully I set this older laptop up earlier in the year to dual boot in to OpenSUSE Leap 4.2.1, but only briefly used it...hoping to find GobiNet and GobiSerial in the repository or figure out compiling it for OpenSUSE (or cross-compile for the Pi3.) If I can get it working from this...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Found out why it was redirecting me. Each package folder needed to be individually referenced in OPKG.CONF, and not just the "base" folder. Got package list updated, and... the packages needed to run QMI modem are not available in this build. Damn... Going to just have to pony up, and learn...

    Even though this is copied directly to OPKG.CONF, it still goes to the wrong http?...weird. OPKG.CONF src/gz base http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm2708/generic/packages/base dest root / dest ram /tmp lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists option overlay_root /overlay Console output...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Hmm... this is still giving me an "Invalid signature" fail. Even after providing the http, and "option check_signature" between 0/1. I'll give that one a shot... Now that I'm figuring out how to make my way around the CLI and OpenWRT LuCI. ;)

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    YES, thank you! I am continuing to figure things out here. I've played with ASUSWRT and DD-WRT enough to be efficient...but I am stumbling around with OpenWRT. I know what most options in here can change, but it seems a bit foreign in the way access is organized. I think I need a few days...

    I am up and running on the pi. I think i figured out why the passwords weren't being accepted by SSH client last night. I used thd NUMPAD without numlock on when i used passwd... but didnt see my typed input because of masking. I did it again, and got stuck for another hour. urrrg! Now...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    No way! I appreciate YOUR patience! This is how I learn new things. I bang my head in to a table in frustration, someone points out obvious things, and I commit these things to memory to use in future instances. There is always a learning curve from one thing to the next! Downloading the...

    REQUESTING HELP PLEASE: Use of uQMI Protocol on ASUSWRT-MERLIN

    Downloaded & verified SHA256, then flashed & verified Pi3 image as SFX noted above. (Thank you for generating that build image, by the way SFX!:)) Pi3 was booted up headless, and seemed to initialize well. Status lights on Ethernet seemed to indicate activity, and that little green...
