crazy_vag Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 What's the software version you have on your Magic Box Gold? I'm on one that looks like an invalid IP address: 15.16.00.663 / 60.11.63.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonsteele Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 My 2nd gen updated today and enabled WiFi backhaul. Not going to use it, since it has a good B41 connection.

bigsnake49 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I changed the backhaul to WiFi and did a speediest. I get about the same results as LTE backhaul. On the other hand if I leave WiFi on on the phone itself I get twice the performance. Is there a way to aggregate the links? LTE backhauled cellular + WiFi?

On your phone without modifying the network stack - area that's pretty locked down. But there is a standard that would allow carriers to use Wi-Fi frequency for downlink. Not sure how I feel about that, since Wi-Fi bandwidth doesn't share as efficiently as LTE (at least not until both phone + router are Wi-Fi 6).

LTE backhauled cellular + WiFi?The MB maxes out at about 85-90 Mbps, regardless of backhaul. It seems to be some kind of hardware limit, either on the LTE eNB or on the ipsec tunnel. The Airave 4 is exactly the same. Both my Airave and MB are connected via Ethernet on a gigabit connection and max out at that.Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingenium Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I was thinking about the device side. If there is a setting that will aggregate the two data streams, the LTE stream and the WiFi stream.I think some Samsung phones support it, but it's disabled in the US at the request of the carriers.For a single connection, it would need to utilize Multipath TCP. And the destination server would also need to support it (which is rare). The only major deployment that I'm aware of is Apple using it for I think FaceTime, and maybe other Apple services. It's done so that when connectivity changes (for example going from wifi to LTE) there is no interruption. I don't know if they actually aggregate the connections otherwise.It's possible that Sprint also does it for VoLTE -> Vowifi hand-off. I know that Vowifi uses an ipsec tunnel (UDP), but within that tunnel the SIP connection uses TCP, which surprised me. This could be a valid reason for using TCP I guess, to allow seamless transitions.Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanlong20 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 just requested a Magic Box and was told I was receiving Gold. After setting my parents up with the original AirRave, I hope its a better experience than that was. I watched a setup vid on YouTube and it seems straightforward and much simpler then before.

mmark27 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Popping back into this thread quick, read back a few pages but....... Is the "Magic Box Gold" still the newest Magic Box? I'm heading home this weekend and want to make sure I update anything necessary for them then. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Box gold is the highest tier magic box which is not readily offered to non business customers.The Magic Box silver and Gen1/2s are their main offerings.

Would an HOA which would want one to cover basement of thousands of residents constitute as a "business customer"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
