Bought this kit from you last year and just wanted to thank you again for all the support and advise given. Its going great. Do they ever release firmware updates for the MC889? I can't seem to find any online
Great to hear its working well for you. Great bit of kit. They will release OTA updates, although its still fairly new on the market, there may not be any updates released yet. But when they are, the modem will auto update if enabled.
Very informative video, thanks. When you showed everyting connected together you said that the external modem went into one of the LAN ports, as far as I'm aware the connection needs to be only in the WAN port on the internal router and will only work in that one as default.
Can I connect the RJ45 LAN-IN port on the POE with a cable directly to a PC ? When you have only 1 electronic device, you dont need a router. I think it is possible ?
@@kalwongkl yes you can connect directly to a Lan port on a PC, but you'll have to setup the connection as a PPOE or make sure the unit is set to router mode rather than bridge.
I live on a narrowboat cruising the uk, i was going to buy a teltonika rutx50 and pontying 3-17 external aerial, but at half the price of the above would this be a viable option?? Thanks for the informative video.
Could you please review the GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) 5G NR AX3000 Cellular Gateway Router with Wi-Fi 6, Multi-WAN, Dual-SIM, and Detachable Antennas? Thanks!
@@router-mods I haven't ordered mine yet. Just want to learn a bit more information. How do you switch it to bridge mode? Is it a physical switch on the device or can you configure the modem via a phone or computer
It looks like if you wanted to change the ethernet cable that goes into the outdoor modem it might be tricky? It has to be one of those flat kinds to fit through the plate at the bottom? Or could you fit a normal round one in?
interesting device this.....i don't recall you mentioning anything about the antennas which are obviously internal on the outdoor modem. How many are there inside? and is this at all mod-able to connect your additional external antennas?
@@J1ggleMyPuff yeah i didn't think they had any as standard, was more curious as to if it was possible to mod the device at all to enable you to attach your own external antennas rather than use the internal ones to establish if there could be any potential gains/benefit from it
@@router-mods thank you for your response on this. I agree modifying would defeat its intended use, however if you are a user that has 4G and 5G towers in opposite directions modifying would be worthwhile, as otherwise your limited to having the antenna facing one direction
I have a question. I have the exact same router and I would like to connect the cat. 6 10 meter cable to a second LAN-cable (cat 7) via a connector so cat 6 - connector - cat 7 - PoE. I need a longer cable to put the mesh I have with the router in the right room and the 10 m cat 6 isnt long enough for that. is that possible or would the outdoor router not get any power because I use another cable? Thank you!
