If you are in Portland your address probably isn't compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. EBS is leased out entirely to another entity. No B41High Low separation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MB at the Sprint store a couple blocks from where I am now is broadcasting on 40978. Based on what I have seen, should it not be on that channel?

jefbal99 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Got a call from MagicBox support regarding the Galaxy Tab E not connecting. Went over everything I had done so far and they are looking into it, hope to hear more in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreuschl Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Anyone have an issue where their phone will fail sending messages on a Magic Box? I have an S7.. MB is connected to tower on B25. I notice sometimes my S7 will show in signal check that it is also connected to the originating tower and then it doesn't have issues.

SMS doesn't run thru the MB, but the macro network. If your phone can't see the macro network, texting won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

though Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have seen users posting their software @ 60.6.40.2 Mine is 60.6.35.0 Anyone know what has changed, better yet, a changelog? Anyone with a newer software version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a newer software version? Most MBs ship with eNB firmware .113 and relay firmware .35. After activation, an overnight update should take place updating the relay to .40.2 which is the most recent public one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

though Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 My unit also got stuck at 20%. After talking to Magic Box advanced support, they advised that some markets do not have the proper tower upgrades to communicate/authenticate the Magic Box. I think we already knew this. Do we have a list of what markets are not currently supported with Magic Box somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have the B41L spectrum needed to do the relay action. Return it and get a S1000 or a Airave 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does an S1000 differ from Airave 3? The Airave 3 is supposedly OOS and will be for 1+ months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airave 3 is a S1000 LTE+WIFI femto plus a CDMAFAP module so that it does CDMA 1x1900 + LTE 2500. Airave 3s and S1000s are / will be offered to those where MB does not work be it lack of signal or spectrum issues. Airave 3 for if you need CDMA voice enhancement in addition to LTE and S1000 where macro CDMA voice works well but LTE doesn't.

(check your PM) Ok so if voice coverage is also an issue (besides) data, and you have backhaul, via fiber, broadband, etc, the Airave 3 is recommended?
