Wait, Robert, I thought your birthday wasn’t until July 6th.

I could have sworn I donated before. How can I check that ?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWas your donation over 6 months ago? Donations give members S4GRU Sponsor status for 6 months from the time of their last donation. After that, your account will revert back to member status.
As WuTang03 implied, yes, S4GRU staff has had (and still does) different sources within the company over the years. There is a wealth of awesome information available in the Sponsor, Premier Sponsor, and Honored Premier Sponsor forums.

Bumping again - new (replacement) MB arrived Friday. We were gone this weekend, so i just now got it set up. Achieved a 'score' of 59. MB has been configured and running now for 2 hours, and neither of our iphones will connect to it. Guess I'll let it go overnight to ensure it does its update to the latest software, etc. If we still aren't connected to it in the morning, then i guess it's a call back in to MB Support.
I'm starting to wonder if it's our iPhones. Has anyone in this thread had a consistent experience in regards to iphones connecting to their Magic Boxes? Maybe iOS 11 will have a carrier settings update that helps?
I have an iPhone and have been fortunate to not have any issues with it connecting to my MB at all.
I received my MB on Wednesday. After plugging it in and letting it do its thing for a couple of hours, I witnessed my signal strength go from -114 dBm to -69 dBm B41 while I was using my phone. Pretty neat to witness. Since then, my phone has automatically locked onto the MB B41 signal whenever I pull into my driveway.
I'm on a 6S+ and haven't had to reset my phone, do a PRL update, airplane mode, or anything else. My house is in a pocket of pretty weak B41, and B25 is weak indoors, so that could be why my phone is connecting so well to the MB. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I hope this helps and that your MB starts working out for you!

So---tell us why you need a magic box. You already have B-41 in your home and it sounds like it is going to get even better. Am I missing something?
And why that's a better fit than where I have LTE all around outside my house... but drop to extremely weak and useless 3G inside. (Yes, I have WiFi, but Mediacom likes to do a lot of maintenance around the time I get home at night ~midnight).
Yes, I receive a B41 signal in my house, but it's rarely stronger than -115 dBm. The Magic Box is meant to fill in B41 coverage gaps and weak signal areas, making my place a perfect candidate. As Tim mentions above, the stronger, cleaner signal will do wonders for battery life and overall user experience in my corner of the neighborhood. Also, the MB will keep my family's four phones from camping on B25 as they currently do now.
As to why others who seemingly fit the criteria may have been denied, I have no idea. I just filled out the application and crossed my fingers.

I applied for the Magic Box the day it was announced and just received the call this afternoon. They left a voicemail saying that I am eligible and that they will be contacting me again via phone or email before the MB ships this fall. My area has Band 41 all over. I receive a B41 signal inside my house even though the two sites closest to me are not yet B41 accepted.

Happy birthday, Robert!
P.S. Where'd all the cake go?

Yep, definitely an issue with Ookla's app or hosting servers. Check out this test I got on Band 26 a few days ago.These speed tests keep occurring. There must be a problem with either the Ookla app or with some of their hosting servers that is causing this problem to repeat. Sprint is not near releasing 3x CA in Salt Lake or anywhere at this point. Not to mention there are not any 3x CA Sprint devices out there, yet.
