🔴5G Home Internet Outdoor Gateway - New Firmware! Perfect? 

Yes, I have a new found respect for the hardware and the firmware. It is all based on WRT which gives them great flexibility and a hardened code base. The world radio in this unit is also top notch - just look at all the bands it supports!

Yes and I gave them a wish list of other things we would like to see implemented.

Yes, it was pretty cool of them to take time out of their schedule and come capture the issues I was seeing. There is no such thing as good hardware with poor firmware.

Great!. Thanks for letting us know.

What kind of speeds are you getting now?

@PeterC408 I was getting 26 down and 2 up with my 2 waveform antennas ran with 30ft of cable. Now I am averaging 50down and 10up with this hardware. Perfect for just streaming 👌.

SUPER!

The new firmware work on the Q version ?

⁠@@fromtheroadwithrobertno sir no Q

Yes, it fixes the SA lockup!

Try NSA for speed right now. Resources are allocated to n41.

I switch mine from SA to NSA mode and then it worked for a little and locked up or page can't be display. I unplug the POE and waited about 10 sec and plug it back in. It came back up and now the cell says 5G+ the + got added after it. It's the best upload speed I seen yet all most 100!

Did you change the IMEI? If you do not, it will work and then stop. Have to loaded the new firmware? If it did lockup, unplugging POE and waiting, did not do it for me. When I had lockups with 5G SA on the old version, I had to actually hit the reset button the device (located near the SIMs).

@@PeterC408 are you saying speed is better with NSA than SA? I thought it was supposed to be the other way around?

Funny, I was talking with Kevin and Jim from Proxicast about Rural Internet just a few months ago. They have a ton of experience and shared that every rural internet solution is its own beast. Take a look ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RWJ38qF_ZxA.html In other words, we would have to try it.

@@PeterC408 Im thinking about picking one up and testing it. Not sure how it will do as the tower is 6 miles away as the crow flies. The yeacomm has an omnidirectional antenna and I am using directional antenna pointed at the tower with the chester cheetah modem/router, it will be interesting to see what it does at that distance. I will check out the video with Jim and Kevin. Thanks again!

Many thanks Bob! 😊

Interesting... I know that you can lock bands and towers but not sure if it goes down to the cell level. Loads change, I like to leave the radio a little flexibility. I use 5G SA with bands n41 and n25. It gives me a good mix of download and upload speeds with minimal impact on time of day.

@@PeterC408 Trying this with ATT Air. Problem I have is living close to the interstate (I17 AZ), I'm getting bombarded with signals. Air hub is switching quite a bit to different bands/cells. I've got the Yeacomm with overall good results. I believe I did get PCI lock working, but ultimately I found locking certain bands worked just as good if not better. I've lost quite a bit of DL speed 150ish down to 80ish, UL stayed the same at 25Mb. Wondering if the Air Hub does a bit of bonding. Yeacomm did improve my ping (from 40ish to 30ms) and can stay locked on to one tower. I've locked in band 2 and 4 (LTE, no 5G that I can detect) which net me the best ping (as a gamer I want). I still get 80/25Mb which I'm happy with. Signals only improved marginally, but they were already good with the Hub. My line of sight can be improved, but I'm still deciding if I'm gonna keep all of this. I play Call of Duty and have been happy with the in game performance with ATT and the bands locked in. Definitely something I can live with and actually seems a bit more responsive than my TMHI. I also tried Yeacomm with my TMHI, but I couldn't come close to the performance of my "trash can" and external antenna setup. Speedtest also only gave me Neveda/CA servers to test on. Yeacomm was not really in the right location either. If I get ambitious one of these days, I might play with the Yeacomm/TMHI some more.

Different BANDS and band configurations have different uplink and downlink speeds but 1Mbps is pretty slow. Which bands are you getting? Is it 5GNSA or SA? What are your RSRP, RSRQ and SiNR scores? This should point you the right direction.

Aah, Micro-brand. I was wondering what you meant by Micro-band. Most of these companies are ODMs, making equipment for others to put their names on, and their brands are lesser known.

Yes, this modem will work well with your Ubiquiti setup because it can be a modem only. Unlike the gateways that are both modem and access points, this device can go into bridge mode and pass through your IP address to your Router and avoid the DOUBLE NAT scenario. And if your router supports DDNS, you can use it to correct for the changing IP and fix the CG-NAT issue of a changing IP. Also, this unit supports 5G SA, so you can craft your signal improve your uplink speed for serving by over 3 times!!! And if you are already getting 500Mbps down with an internal antenna, you are going to like this unit.

Companies usually only release new firmware to fix a problem. Is there a problem with the NR330?

@@PeterC408 I'm not sure of his issue, but I did notice with the NR330-Q I failed the IPV6 test. I unboxed it today so I have yet to email support. Your videos and reviews encouraged me to lean towards this brand. Thanks

@@nicholasnelson9734 Plugging directly to the modem and see if it passes. Mine passes IPV6, but my access pont is not playing along.

You mean using two SIM cards? It does one then the other for fail-over. It does not aggregate them.

no just using one T-Mobile sim card and thought it can get 2 5G at a time? To get faster upload and download.@@PeterC408

If two 5G signals are available it can grab two 5G signals. Sometimes it will even grab the same one twice, n41 and n41. Give it a little time, 20 minutes, and check it again. Sometimes it takes a little while for the tower to assign full resources (it just gets faster).

Thank You! Have you seen this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hbt1ie2BA0s.html it shows how the NR610 can go to bridge mode. Also there is this video that compares it to several 5G solutions ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SqJ5e8w8iio.html

@@PeterC408 yes, I watched those videos, appreciate them, but how to keep the firmware updated?

@@carlosedwardos let me write to them and see when they are pushing an update. They sent me a new version a while ago but I forget what the changes were. The best place to get firmware is always from the manufacturer instead of some random RU-vidr even if it is me.

@@carlosedwardos Firmware is very specialized software and in a perfect world, would never have to be upgraded. The only reason to change it is because of bugs or security issues. This is a pretty mature product; I don't expect to see many more updates to the Firmware.

​@@carlosedwardos I just bought one of these, too (Qualcomm version), and I'm wondering if my firmware is out of date. Do you have the Qualcomm version? If so, what version number does yours have and do we know what the latest version is? Mine is showing as NR610-Q-FF0420220316BEU8_A301722.

Yes, this is an outdoor unit so it has the antennas included. Instead of running the antennas outside, this brings the entire modem outside. Really a good idea.

Generally, you need to plug in your SIM and it works... but if you have parameters that need to be entered, they of course need to be entered.

You must put in the imei

Yes, the first button saves the data from that page and now you can go to another page before pushing it all to update with a possible reboot.

It does not surprise me that the InvisaGig performs faster. It was designed from the ground up for performance but.. Do they pickup the same bands? Do they have similar signals? Do you have an external antenna on the InvisaGig? The "issue" you think you are seeing is PRIORITY. T-MOBILE is a phone network, they give high priority to phones. TMHI is at the lowest priority on the network. Business accounts are slightly higher. So, the IMEI is important, especially with a business account. Business accounts get a higher priority be sure to set the IMEI and APN to show you mean business. Yes, the iPhone is a phone and has different priority. No one is going to download a 20GB file on a phone and they know that, so they let the run wide open.... it's just for speed test.

@@PeterC408 Thank you for replying, the Yeacomm was locking on 71, and the InvisaGig was locking 41 and 25. (no external antennas). We just left the InvisaGig. Today the weather was bad, therefore we didn't get to troubleshoot any further with the Yeacomm. Thank you for all the insight.

You don't need terminal access to this device to change the TTL

No static necessary. Capture the log and send it to their support. They might be able to tell you what is causing it and how to fix it

Here is the address for the Yeacomm engineers, support@yifanrouter.com Send them the log. They have been very responsive.

Rule one with firmware is always know what it is that you're trying to fix and make sure it's addressed before you go changing. They did give me a new version of firmware but they didn't tell me what it was for and the proper way to get it shouldn't be from me it should be from the manufacturer pushing it to all devices so keep checking your firmware and looking for an update. That should be the right way to get it.

@@PeterC408 Thanks I reached out to them. I love this modem though. I did have a newer firmware on the unit I bought and used this firmware that you provided and did not realize the superadmin so trying to get the firmware that came with it.

Nope. It appears that they watch my videos an the network became more stable shortly afterwards. The reason that I chagned my MTU was for stability. Now it is pretty stable at 1500

So do you have a Yeacomm or is this a tablet? Which IMEI? TTL on what Tablet or Gateway? Are you trying to use a TMobile Tablet SIM in a Yeacomm Gateway? If so, you will need the APN and IMEI that the Tablet plan are using and then transfer those values to the gatway and stop using the Tablet unless it is WIFI only.

Try it directly into the unit without using your Wireless Access Point. Many of the APs strip out this functionality. If it then works, then look at your AP settings to see if you can make IPV6 work through the AP.

yes when i connect directly to NR610 IPV6 work great. But when connecting via Wireless Access Point ipv6 well never work

I am not sure Bridge mode means what we think it does.. How do you have it configured?

@PeterC408 I have the yeacomm NR610 hooked up and then my linksys mx4000 mesh router inside hooked up to the cpe adapter providing wireless internet throughout my home. I was just wondering if it would be better to put the yeacomm in bridge mode because I use it as a modem only.

They say if it ain't broke don't fix it. What features or problems are you trying to fix or add?

I do have new firmware for this unit but do not feel that I should be trusted as your repository for such releases. They should be pushed by the manufacturer. The only reason, I let that one go early is because it fixed something pretty important.

Good idea to get the right version for your hardware (Always!) . JUst write to them. They have been super responsive support@yifanrouter.com

Did they give you an update of European version? I want it too and I have problems with IPv6

@iC4e no I asked them they said it already has the latest firmware and support sa

@@mataralmuhairi2402 Is update you have NR610-EAU-FF0420220316BEU8_A332187 ,?

Most applications can handle a double NAT. This is a Gateway (modem and access point) but it is an outdoor unit. I use the outdoor 2.4GHz WiFi for outdoor IoT totally separate from my indoor mesh WiFi access point. It works pretty well. I have no problem with WiFi calling. Sounds like this is worth giving it a try. If it doesn't work, send it back to Amazon but you will have time to put it through its paces.

In the UI can the unit be put in bridge mode? Can it be assigned a static IP? Turn off DHCP?

Update: i sent Yeacomm and email and they sent me a link for the Q variant

Very Cool. What features did it add?

@@PeterC408 not 100% yet having trouble downloading but I emailed them with a list of bugs and they responded with this plus answers to my questions. Soon as I find out I will respond back. I have to say im pretty impressed so far though my closest N41 tower is on the other side of the bay over the water 10 miles maybe and im getting 30s for ping and 400+ down 70 up metrics not to bad either for the distance.

Here is the link for the NR610-Q firmware. drive.google.com/file/d/1J_JxD_hDqtT_HDfaNGw7Me7EApDcPJLD/view?usp=drive_link

Fixed the sim switch issues I had going from 1 to 2 and back plus SA now works without crashing.

There is a link in the comments.

No I don't, but you really only should seek firmware form the manufacturer. You can write to them at support@yifanrouter.com but always be cautious when updating firmware. Know what you want to gain before you update anything. Good Luck.

You can go here yifanwireless.com/ and write to support. I do now see it in the download section but perhaps they will push it though the device itself when it is ready. Though the normal update process.

Thank you!@@PeterC408

They developed it this weekend and will put it through their normal testing cycle and then give it a number greater than the one they gave me. How long will it take? Not sure but you can join in by downloading this one and report any bugs you find. I asked them if I could release it and they told me yes.

It is best to go to the current firmware and search for an update. That way you make sure it comes from the source!

Have you seen any of my videos where we talk about bands, RSRP, RSRQ and SiNR? This is the key to hunting down the right bands. Otherwise it is like fishing with salmon eggs at 50 fathoms in the ocean.

​@PeterC408 of course. So with my inseego im now locked out of the firmware. Even after resetting. But my scores idicated a terrible signal quality. But i get n77 and b66 last i checked. The sinr was literally 0. The other scores were bad. I pull pings rasonably from 45 to 65. Speeds up to 100 with no one else connected. When hooking up the yeacomm i couldnt get a solid signal at all. I band locked to b66 and n77 since thats what inseego gets. The best score i really got was 5mbps down. I do use nomad as i am unable to get any other good providers.

@MM-kx7ru Jevin from Proxicast today us that SiNR is the single most important score. That Fx2000 is only good if it gets hood signals. This should dramatically help

​@PeterC408 so i am able to log into my inseego with laptop directly connected, normally i accessed it thru my phone. Anyways now im getting an snr of 3 to 5 it fluctuates. Im getting b66 and n5 right now

​@@PeterC408but im still lost in why the yeacomm nr610 wouldnt recieve a signal worth a hoot. I tried it with all bands open even to attempt that. No avail.

I wrote to their support about Bridge Mode and how to use it. I got back a video (no audio) and it shows the trick. I will have to make a video on this as I want to try bridge mode myself!

​@PeterC408 please upload it I will try to do it

Here is the video that they sent me to show how to do it. Take a look and let me know if you are successful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZfZgs3PsDjc.htmlsi=AaDsngOaWemRQANV

@@PeterC408 thanks

Downloading is a two party process , there is you on the receiving end but there is another computer on the sending end. . You could be downloading from a source that is bandwidth limited.

@@PeterC408 I just update my modem with the firmware u post and my modem not getting internet were I can download the previous firmware?

@@jonathanbajandas3020 is it the same Yeacomm NR610 radio? Can you get back in the FW screens? If so, just reload it. This fw is working

@@PeterC408 yeah is the same radio, u have a Discord chanel or something like that?
