<div dir="ltr"> It was Sep 8th, so it was almost a month ago. Just haven't had time to follow up since then. For what it's worth, I was receiving a very strong signal from the tower. I'll go through tomorrow and check all the settings in my modem. I may also get time to drive over and set it up again and see if I can connect (figure I'll try from an easy location before I go back to trying to make it work from my very iffy home location).<div>

</div>There is no such table. Soon there will be a certificate based<br>
authentication scheme, but this will only prevent you from routing<br>
packet, it will not influence your ability to receive a signal. If<br>
your radio is on the right frequency, you should at least be able to<br>
receive a signal.<br>
<br>
When was your modem configured? A month or two ago the channel plan<br>
was changed, moving all the sectors into the ham-only part of the band<br>
to avoid interference from Part 15 users.<br>
<br>
The configuration here is accurate today:<br>
