Setting up Orbi with LTE router

Thank you. Can you tell I don't work in the terminal much?
It may be the poor internet speeds I'm getting, but at this point I'm getting the message "unable to connect to remote host" when I give the telnet command
I put the computer on my phone hotspot (a little better or consistent internet) and I've confirmed the debug mode on the orbi has telnet enabled

- Are you sure of the Orbi router's IP address?
- Please untick Enable telnet and tick it again and try.

Doh. the IP address was incorrect. I've only been staring at it for a day.
Commands entered and Orbi rebooted. Confirmed that current lease is 3600
Very early observation suggests this did not correct speed issue.

I assumed that was true. But I’m thinking of the people that might read this thread with similar issues. Thank you for getting me this far.

I was never able to get the t-mobile sim to work, but had immediate success activating an AT&T mobile sime through otrmobile.com (not an advertisement
This ran great all day Sunday, but when I got up on Monday the Orbi had been kicked off the internet. I power cycled the Orbi and all is well again. It's too early to know if this will repeat, but I'm wondering if that is a sign of a leasing issue like what started this thread?

What FW version are you using now on the Orib?

I'm not at home to check, but I know that when I was working on this I checked the firmware and was told I was up-to-date

There is new FW for the 40 series if you haven't seen it or your system hasn't already updated:
