Network Speed Test

RM50XQ Network Speed Test

  • Install speed testing software, such as Internet speed manager and other speed testing software, you can choose to download the speed test at www.speedtest.cn/pc/download.

About the speed testing

As there will be many inconsistencies between actual and laboratory conditions that will result in 5G speeds that are not ideally stable at 100MBPS, there are the following.

  • Base station distance, the closer to the 5G base station the better the signal and the faster the speed.

  • Base station load, the fewer people using it the faster it will be, and the slower it will be during peak commuting periods.

  • Number of base stations: due to the spectrum, an equal amount of 4G coverage requires double the number of 5G base stations.

  • Operator: you need to confirm your 5G card, and whether the speed is limited, you can regularly ask the operator to reset your network.

  • Indoor is worse than outdoor: building penetration attenuation, and indoor bypass attenuation.

PS: The current number of base stations still does not have good coverage, and the speed measurement is not quite the same in different locations.

Working with Raspberry Pi

RM500U is based on the Zhanrui platform, and the dial-up Internet access in the Raspbian system of the Raspberry Pi is unstable; it is recommended to use Openwrt, Ubuntu and other mainstream Linux systems.

Ubuntu System Use

 sudo apt-get install screenfetch
 screen fetch
 uname -r

The USB device descriptor needs to be loaded for the first use

In order to identify a module, the module's VID and PID needs to be added to the file [kernel].

  • Check the VID and PID of RM500U.

sudo apt-get install minicom

3. Open ttyS0 through minicom——ttyS0 is the serial port of Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B, the default baud rate is 115200;

sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyS0

4. For Raspberry Pi 2B/zero, the user serial device number is ttyAMA0; you can use the following command line to confirm, serial0 is the selected serial device number, as shown below:

ls -l /dev/serial*

OpenWrt

Introduction

Soft routing is using desktops or servers and other equipment with software. It mainly depends on the settings of the software to achieve the functions of the router. The hard routing is a unique hardware device, including a processor, power supply, and embedded software to provide router functionality. OpenWrt is a very popular soft routing system. It is a highly modular and highly automated embedded Linux system with powerful network components and scalability. It is often used in industrial control equipment, routers, and other equipment. In addition to the functions of general home routers, OpenWrt soft routing can also achieve port forwarding, intranet penetration, 4G networking, FTP server, and more powerful functions.

Burn the image

Download the RPI OpenWrt system, unzip the system in the Imgs directory, and use the burning tool to burn the system to the SD card.

Login and initial settings

  • After the OpenWrt system is turned on, the Raspberry Pi is equivalent to a router. Therefore, use a network cable to connect the Raspberry Pi to the computer according to the use of the router (you can also use the mobile phone to search for WIFI, the default name is "OpenWrt").

  • You can set the language to auto first.

  • Enter 192.168.1.1 on the web page, the default user name: root, and the default password: password, enter the OpenWrt web management interface.

  • Set WIFI password: Network —> Wireless —> interface configuration —> Wireless security.

  • Create the new interface: Network -> Interface -> Create interface.

  • Modify the IPv4 address of the LAN port to a different IP that is not the same as the LAN port IP of other routers in your home. (Many routers default the LAN port IP to 192.168.1.1. If you do not modify the IP of the OpenWrt, it will easily lead to conflicts and failure to connect to the Internet).

If necessary, it is also recommended to disable the IPv6 allocation length. After the modification is completed, click "Save & Apply", and re-use 192.168.10.1 to access the OpenWrt console.

  • In addition, it is recommended to adjust the Firewall setting to connect the OpenWrt terminal and Web management interface through the local area.

Network —> Firewall, change all "reject" to "accept", and click "Save & Apply" after modification, as shown in the picture below:

  • And then select System -> Administration, modify the allowed interface for SSH access to "unspecified" (that is, any interface can be accessed by ssh), check the Gateway port, and click "Save & Apply" after the modification is completed.

At this point, you can connect to the OpenWrt web management interface or terminal through the IP address of the LAN port or wan port.

Configure networking

  • Insert the SIM card into the slot of the communication module -> All 5G antennas are connected, after connecting to the Raspberry Pi 4B via USB -> Power on;

  • Change the mobile communication module to RNDIS mode (USB network sharing mode), which can be changed in Openwrt by sending the following command via minicom:

sh -c 'echo "2c7c 0900" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id'
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2    
AT+QENG="servingcell"
AT+QCFG="usbnet",3
AT+QNETDEVCTL=2,3,1

To switch ECM mode, use this command:

AT+QCFG="usbnet",1

  • Add new interface: Network -> Interfaces -> Add New Interface.

  • Create new interface: name of new interface - SIM8202G; protocol of new interface - DHCP client; include the following interfaces - ethernet adapter: "usb0"; submit.

  • Configuration interface: Firewall settings - wan; save & apply.

  • Wireless configuration: Network -> Wireless -> Modify -> Interface Configuration -> Basic Settings -> Check SIM8202G (Defined by yourself) and lan in Network; Save & Apply.
