Is this compatible withe routers that are running openwrt or rooter? meaning can I just plug this into the usb 3.0 port on the routers (and then configure etc)?
Yes, that is the main way we use them, with openWRT based systems like our routers. They can also be used with any device/system OS that supports modems that connect over USB.
@@wirelesshaven Very nice. Is the driver part of the standard Linux kernel and/or OpenWRT? If not, which package does OpenWRT need (excluding dependencies)?
@@Cabinlab The adapter is a direct pass through USB adapter, so itself has no effect on the drivers needed. This leaves the modem installed. Most all modems we have used are using standard USB modem drivers (QMI, MBIM, ECM, NCM) which is part of the core Linux driver set install in most cases. Note, this wont work with PCI data lanes of modems, only the USB... as far as we've tested. You should be good to go with most any Linux build, and you should only need to include the various related drivers in your openWRT build. Modemmanager typically takes care fo the dependencies, and Rooters version of openWRT includes it all.
just to be make sure, can you pls tell me what position voltage level switch need to set for Quectel RM502Q-AE 5G Cellular Modem is it “UP” (away from usb3 port)position or DOWN position?
Hello, It is compatible with most all 5G modules, including Sierras modules. We have an updated version of the board now. The link to it is here:thewirelesshaven.com/shop/mini-pcie-m2-adapters/modem-enclosure/usb3-m2-4g-5g-modem-adapter-v7/
Yes, the devices primary power is via the USB3 data port. IF you want to add aux power for surplus power supply you would have to figure out how to either split the power input from your host device or extra power run. It is not recommended to power a cellular modem over category 4 or 6 over a long USB cable alone; 10 feet seems to be the max. The 5.5 Volts DC does not travel well over lengths of very small wiring. Placing it in an enclosure with a router that is PoE powered, though would do well.
Raspberry Pi work is happening. :) It may be a while before any videos are recorded, and as a channel follower you should get updates on all of our videos. :)
Great video

Up position, away from the USB3 port, for Quectel modems.
Is this compatible with the snapdragon x55 5g card? Is there an enclosure that will? Or does this kit work with a verizon sim?

Can this be powered remotely? Say for outside exclosure?

Can you do a raspberry pi video and make it have really powerful Wi-Fi signal? 🙏👌
