Cheap $20 a month Stand Alone Unlimited Rural Internet through AT&T Wireless

fail
it doens't show up, with an IP tool
my mobley does, our androids do, but that's it.
i have ethernet cable connected to the router in the lan ports..
ipconfig gave me an address but that one wouldn't let me back in either
here is the ipconfig screen,, missing an address under default gateway,

I would assume there is a button to reset to factory defaults. Find, do it, start over. Not that I've experience with that particular item, but maybe wore out some Ubiquiti buttons.

I would estimate the loss at 3GHz of RG6 to be about 20 db per hundred foot . I don't have a chart to confirm that, but I would bet a large amount of money I am pretty close. 20db is very significant loss. If you put 100 watts of power at a frequency of 3Ghz into one end of the cable you could expect about 1 watt to come out the other end. The other 99 watts would be consumed as heat along the length of the coax. No one would use 100 foot of RG6 at 3Ghz. Or even 50 foot. The reason there are not charts from the manufacture at these frequency's is because it is unthinkable to use it in this manner.

And that's when the impedance is matched. He's losing a lot more from using the wrong cable.

Definitely reset your router to factory. Part of your issue may be that both the router and the Mobley default to 192.168.1.1 (and they cannot share addresses) - first order of business would be to make the router anything BUT that address. In the DNS fields, you do not have to use the Mobley/ATT DNS, you can enter any DNS provider you wish; I tend to use Google (it's faster) and their DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

That should at a minimum get your router and Mobley communicating.

ok thanks, rebooted, then did the first 3 screenshots from what website,
how do i know that the router is pulling the signal from the Mobley and not
another (dsl) router in the house?

Kill any extraneous internet sources, routers, access points - eliminate the question

Unless you have another modem (cable, DSL, cell, etc.) hooked to the WAN port of the AC-1900 or you've connected another router via ethernet to the AC-1900 then it is not using any other upstream device as a source. Keep everything else unplugged from the AC-1900 except the Mobley and whatever you want to use as a test client then you know for sure only the Mobley is the Internet source. You certainly don't want to hook this new router to any other router in the house for the use you're targeting.

The Asus/T-Mo AC-1900 does not share the same admin IP. It listens by default on 192.168.29.1. Nothing to change there. Per the thread I linked to earlier for Dutch there are only two things to change in the AC-1900 - APN and DNS servers.

True, the impedance mismatch will cause some additional loss. But the total coax loss is kinda of a moot point as the poster that put up the yagi, gained enough signal by using the yagi at the increased height that his total system gain was enough to get the signal strength he wanted/needed to get the speed increase. My only point was that if you use a lower loss coax your total system gain will be much higher, but of course at increased costs.

I decided to try and give it a go if Best Buy still had one but they were out with no info on if they would get any more. Guess I procrastinated too long. I'm almost certain I would have to do something like sodamo did if I could get it to work at all. Guess if they are all gone I will still be stuck with 1.5Mbps from CL and begging for the customer loyalty price every year.

That is the way I see it also, its working and for relatively low cost spending another $100 may gain him a bit better signal but I doubt much more speed.
