AT&T Microcell

I just got one about a week ago. My coverage sucks in my house apart from one spot by a window.

It's been working great until I had to send a bunch of texts. Bloody thing doesn't seem to pass the SMS messages through it.

I tried called their 'support' but they didn't seem to understand what I was telling them.

Anyone else got one of these?

I've got two in our District office. Their support is worthless but never had texting issues.

Going to re-kindle this thread. I've since got the texting to work through this device.

Latest issue - couple of weeks ago the wife and I went away. My usual routine is to power everything down while we're away. Powered everything up when we got home and the 3G microcell stopped working.

I've been on the phone with AT&T and they have said, well, it must be your router. Hmm, I don't think so, mate. I've tried two different 'home' routers with ports forwarded. Alas, nothing. I even configured my 1841 for a short period of time to see if that would work, nothing.

I just fired up WireShark to see if it would show me anything. Looks like it came up with:

I did a little research and found that people were having the similar problem, but no fix.

I finally broke down and called AT&T, in this case they were helpful. They're sending me a replacement for free. They could see the device, but it's just not broadcasting anything to my phones.
