Any ideas?

 

I'm about to either return the MR1100-2A1NAS and try to find a 1A1NAS (that's supposedly supported); or switch to neverthrottled (which is on AT&T's network which the 2A1NAS would, I assume, work with).

    You skipped telnetting into the MR1100 on port 5510 to issue the AT!BOOTHOLD command before using FDT.exe.

      I had done that (pretty sure... Was a while ago). I eventually switched services to another data provider that used AT&T instead of T-Mobile). And then eventually returned everything because even with a weboost signal booster mounted on the roof I couldn't get a strong enough signal... So back to looking for a neighbor with Comcast access that I can set up fixed wireless to.

      Good luck all and thanks for the reply!
