Assuming there's internet, you could get a raspberry pi and code something up with Tasker/autoremote/IFTTT. Maybe have the pi have a browser full screen, with a page open that displays whatever it receives from autoremote/IFTTT. It would involve some coding/scripting on your part. Depends how comfortable you are with it, and what your requirements are for the message.

So the AC66u was named as a vulnerable router against the VPNFilter hack. FBI is recommending that everyone with this model update to the latest firmware and do a factory reboot.
The Sprint router wasn't named as being vulnerable. But since it's the same physical router as the AC66u...shoukd we expect Sprint/ASUS to finally rollout an update to the OG firmware?

Sprint has refused to give me my MSL or I would have made changes a while ago. The phone also supports 2xCA on B25 and that has never been enabled. 

R=routable, N =Non routable X not sure. r.ispsn devices receive a routable ivp4 address.

So it seems there are at least 3 Sprint APNs: n.ispsn, r.ispsn, and x.ispsn.

I remember seeing n.ispsn on some of my older devices. I have a hotspot from Calyx (via Mobile Citizen) that has a Sprint account that I can log into, and it's using r.ispsn. My Pixel 2 XL is using x.ispsn.

Does anyone know what the difference is between them? My only guesses are that n.ispsn is "native", and r.ispsn is "reseller". Or perhaps n.ispsn is NATed via CGNAT and r.ispsn is "routed" meaning a public IP? I have confirmed that the hotspot that uses r.ispsn is assigned a public, routable IP. But that doesn't answer what x.ispsn is. My phone with x.ispsn is assigned a NATed IP.

I am not sure at the moment what you mean by NSG. 

Network Signal Guru. It's a root app that basically interfaces with the Qualcomm engineering driver to give low level modem/radio details https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qtrun.QuickTest

He's explaining it wrong. Ericsson 8T8R sites are broadcasting 3 carriers, however it doesn't seem to support throughput on 3 carrier simultaneously. The speeds attained on Ericsson 8T8R sites are the same whether you are connected to 1 carrier, or all three through 3xCA. I have seen this on multiple Ericsson 8T8R sites in a couple different markets.

Interesting. Have you looked at it in NSG? If so, does it show throughput only on one of the aggregated carriers? Or does the throughput on each drop by 2/3?

This quote didn't come from me,it came from a premier member Dkoellerwx.. I noticed it right away .. speeds should of been much faster on a 3xca site then they were .. and that's when he added Ericsson sites are only brodcasting a single carrier at the moment

Which portion of a cell site could go down so band 26 no longer works but band 25 does?
 
My local site that has some problem every few months (usually voice / evdo) went completely down a couple of weeks ago.  Using the sprint app i reported it and either coincidentally or not, they got voice and evdo working once again as well as band 25 10x10.  Band 26 has been dead since.  I report it every day / every other day.  Middle of this past week band 26 popped up back online mid-day only to die again within a half hour and it has been offline since then.  Tech probably got it working and high tailed it out of there.
So...which band 26 only part could possibly break which doesnt effect anything else, including band 25?

Okay so I managed to make it out to that other wireline mobilitie site today(or yesterday lol whatever haha) It was getting dark so my photos are not the best but here is what I have. (Btw I also included some of the development going on in this area that may have been reason Sprint decided to locate a small cell here. That and well, its pretty close to Ford Field, Comerica Park and Little Caesars Arena.)

Again, sorry for the poor lighting but this is definitely another small cell connected by wire-line as apposed to relay. The last few images are construction for a massive development from Bedrock, which is affiliated with Rocket Fiber.(Both part of quicken loans if that matters) They could be providing the backhaul but unfortunately due to lighting the only wire-line on the utility poles i could spot with a name was Comcast; that's not to say there were many other lines on the utility poles. It was just to dark to spot. Anyway;  here it is:

Any thoughts? 

The fact that Sprint is likely using different backhaul providers in the same area is exciting.

Were you able to get engineering screenshots? Or anything showing the earfcn of it? I'm curious if it uses a different earfcn than relay fed small cells.

Also, if you happen to have NSG, looking at signaling for what PLMNs are broadcast would be useful. It would tell us if a non-relay small cell could serve as a donor for other small cells or magic boxes.

Anyone else having issues with their Airave 3 LTE going red daily?

Well getting rid of sensorly made a big difference in battery life, left work with 72%. Was leaving work before at around 50% if not a little lower. Glad I figured out my issue.

Not sure whats changed but I'm impressed. 
I'm curious, has anyone stumbled upon a MB connection in the wild?. 

Does the MB retain it's optimization across power outages (planned or unplanned).
If yes, are the settings stored in non-volatile memory or is there a battery backed storage
with a time limit before the settings are lost?

Yikes. I can tell tell the difference between 1080p and 720p on my phone so there is no way I believe you can't tell the difference between 1080p and 480p. For what it's worth the iPhone 7 has a 1,334 x 750 display so you can't see better resolution than 720p on that screen.

So in this case, a downsampled 1080p video will look better than one that's natively at 720p.

I may have discovered why my battery life sucks, was just looking under battery stats and saw Facebook has been active in the background for over 4 hours, I disabled it from running in the background let's hope that fixes the problem. Currently at 66% and I hardly used my phone today since I am at work.

My pings on my magic box are in the mid 60s usually. It got better after the latest software update, down from the 80s. It might take a couple days for the software to push to yours.

Honestly, I don't really notice a difference at pings that low as long as the speed isn't slow. I can't tell when I'm on my MB, my Airave (about the same ping due to the ipsec tunnel), or the macro unless I get on b25/26 which are both congested (20ms-ish pings, but super slow, often sub megabit).

What are you doing where pings of 60-80 ms are causing you noticeable problems?

Also, if you're concerned about speed, run multiple speed tests back to back. Your phone is pretty aggressive at engaging CA immediately, but the magic box is "lazy" and will only engage it once there's been sustained data use for a bit. I would guess this is by design actually, so resource blocks aren't unnecessarily tied up by a high priority UE (the MB).

Not sure that is even possible to push 600MB/s (6Gbps) on a home Wi-Fi wireless.  It is 600Mbps (megabits)? 

Android P on Pixel 2 XL and SCP has remained consistent for me

i knew that, just never seen the 2nd carrier as 10x10.  they had a big push here in the last month or so where the first (or only) band 25 carrier is now 10x10 so i only assumed in this case they did a 2nd 10x10 for a total of 10x10+10x10 and i thought that wasnt possible.

San Jose has had their GCIs revamped. A majority of sites no longer are using the hex 1450 offset between bands 25 & 26 and band 41. All 3 bands are using the same GCI base, with different endings. The old endings no longer can be used to determine the band. I saw at least one site with an "02" ending for band 41. 

My data is from a drive from SF to Santa Cruz, then Santa Cruz to Oakland. So I don't have all 3 sectors and all 3 bands from a single site. From the data that I do have, there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern to the GCI endings. It is very possible though that there is a pattern (or multiple patterns limited to certain geographic areas). From my logs, I've found the following endings:

B26:
02

B25 (earfcn):

Since the majority of 1x calls that ring through when I have service is spam generated numbers with similar prefixes I haven't really invested time in using voice much. Nexus user so WeeFee calling is out. The answer here has been and continues to be densification. 

Using Google Voice separately (voicemail integration with Sprint, so conditional call forwarding which will continue to work), MMS has worked for a while. At least using Hangouts. My issue with it for calls is that if I'm in an area with congested data, then calls are flakey.

Yes, on a normal 8T8R site, 03/04/05 is the normal second carrier. On 4T4R tri-band antennas in Samsung markets, 09/0A/0B has been used fairly regularly. I do not know off the top of my head what is done with the 3rd carrier on the tri-band antenna sites (normal 8T8R being 06/07/08, which is already covered).

Sometime yesterday while I was at work, the net light went solid red on the LTE side, but is still functioning normally. I connect right away to the airave LTE and stay connected, with no speed issues. Anybody else come across this scenario?

I'm not sure if Sprint has the capacity to provide home internet through the magic box. Maybe if it's a limited data allotment (similar to hotspot caps).

I could see it more as a possible incentive offered to businesses for them to install magic boxes. Provide wifi for their POS terminals and such in exchange for hosting the MB. That wouldn't eat into Sprint's capacity very much, and would make it an easier sell to the businesses.

Right now, the wifi chip seems to only be turned on when the magic box fails to connect to a donor. It broadcasts an SSID allowing a technician to connect to the box and manually configure it and view logs and such.

The 544 model (gen 2) actually has an inferior wifi chip compared to the 540 (original beta unit) and 545 (gen 1). I want to say it's 802.11g only versus 802.11n on the others. Which is a sign that they don't intend to really deploy it for anything other than diagnostics.
