  1. I followed that exact guide and got mine flashed successfully. What changed since then was Asus (and other manufacturers) released new firmware that prevented firmware downgrades past a certain point due to abuses in transmit powers being adjusted and etc. So i would flash something before the 378 range first. I've relegated my flashed AC66 running Merlin 380 version to my relatives place as a primary AIO router for their 30 / 30 fiber connection. It had a few connectivity issues initially but a couple of complete resets has made it stable. I had to mess with my friends Sprint AC66 back in september since its IPSEC "prioritization" would mess with the Airave 3 / S1000 femto cell IPSEC tunnel back to Sprints network (~300 kbps limit up / down). I would not be surprised if they'll drop the router soon enough too as it's redundant with the Airave 3 / S1000 being able to offer AC WiFi + LTE &/or CDMA without the ipsec tunnel conflict.
  2. You're probably seeing just different sites using different contiguous carriers. It's the same thing in SLC. Part of the metro uses B41H while other parts of it uses B41L. I have several sites here that operate B41L while the vast majority operates B41H. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  3. Get rid of the old non updated firmware and load up the standard Asus or Asus Merlin.
  4. It's been available for months. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  5. No. UL wise it's limited to whatever is the PCC at the time ie 10 or 5 MHz. DL is slighty affected due fact it's two different LTE carriers being aggregated together. As they're independent LTE carriers and on different (though close) frequencies they are susceptible to other environmental factors which may not impact a single contiguous 15 MHz carrier. In most situations the DL performance would be very close but not identical.
  6. That's 10+5 carrier aggregation and not 15x15. Note the 10 MHz carrier @ 8290 EARFCN and the 5 MHz carrier @ 8665 EARFCN.
  7. It is. Several Nokia / Ericsson land markets have all three active. Software is not finalized and ready for widespread push yet though. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  8. No problem. Apologies for not messaging you beforehand. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  9. Moved to premier section post as his map is from from that section. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  10. Many of then are running LTE relay for backhaul so that's about an average speed for a single carrier given the donor macro is probably a bit loaded. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  11. These are likely multi sector mini macro sites. We've got up close pictures and information on one such example that is progress.
  12. One Nokia mini Mac and flexi (looks like). It'd be great if you can get SCP screenshots as well. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

  14. Take more pics. Most likely it could be an Ericsson RRUS82 8T8R 2.5 setup which has never documented before. Screenshots from NSG/SCP and more pics would be fantastic. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  15. A 92XS small cell. Sprint loves putting these on tops of their store locations where possible.
  16. Have you set it up with the GPS antenna properly placed? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  17. Tim YuSprint 4G Rollout UpdatesDecember 11, 2017 - 9:30 PM PST Recently, individuals who ordered Magic Boxes noticed a change in the product code of the unit to AU544 from AU545. It is now confirmed that the product code change is due to the release of the 3rd generation Magic Box. They are now being shipped! The new revision is in essence a GEN2 optimized with a high quality LCD touchscreen display like that of the 1st Generation AU540. In addition, an external battery pack with an adapter to hook onto the Magic Box is now provided. It can be lugged around for testing purposes instead of internal batteries. In addition, the touch power on button of the GEN2 has been removed with power on sequence done by plugging in power to the unit via a battery pack with an adapter or via the AC power brick. Performance wise, the GEN 3 is identical to the GEN 2 in that they still utilize the Airspan Airunity 545 small cell eNB and a Ninja LTE Relay module. The product designation change from 545 to 544 is primarily due to a change in the WiFi module to a different Qualcomm WiFi module. But for what matters to Sprint users, the LTE B41 performance impact as noted from GEN 1 and subsequently the GEN 2 are identical. GEN 2 users will not be left behind in performance wise. Previous generation device owners will not be missing out on much! For those that are getting the Magic Box for the first time, welcome to the party! Here's pictures of the GEN 3 (AU544MBGN2) courtesy of @bucdenny
  18. All 600 MHz equipment are 4x4 radios (4x2 at UE level). Att and Verizon and in some siteareas Tmobile they're retrofitting sites to 4x4 eNB setups on 700 and 800mhz by using two lowband antennas + two sub 1ghz radios. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  19. Separation required for sub 1 ghz frequencies is troublesome. It's why low band inter and intraband CA has not been implemented and 4x4 MIMO on sub 1ghz frequencies at UE level is almost impossible.
  20. Yep. 540/545/544/gen3 Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk *544 is GEN3 with product name ASP544MBGN2
  21. Oh that's the gen 2. It just has a different wifi chipset. Not gen3. Actual gen3 name will have gen3 in it. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk This be Gen 3
  22. Should be similar to my GEN1 in terms of articles (lcd display, external battery). Can't wait to see it! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  23. I'll take a Matsasuka beef grade A5, medium rare, side of tenpanyaki oysters and clam, desert entree', and a pint of Sapporo.
  24. Ah but you forget that there are potentially multiple 1x Voice carriers to meet voice demand and people complain about 1x voice quality in several regions where cdma has been thinned. It's a delicate balancing act for sure when refarming spectrum.
