GMRSHub Node and a Verizon (ORBIC) RC400L

[Joeteck]

I have setup a GMRSNode with a Verizon orbic RC400L and it does not show online or connect to any hubs. My buddy has the identical hot spot and his node connects perfectly fine.

I have added the IP address to the DMZ on the Verizon hot spot, without success. I also created port forwarding rules that do nothing as well. Not sure what else to do.

TIA

Are you sure your buddy is still connected? If you read the news article on the front page the MyGMRS network was shut down nine months ago when the FCC announced that linking was prohibited.

I am not using it for linking. What gave you that idea that I was? We have nodes we created that a bunch of us use to talk on, not RF related. Node to node talking. Like Zello

Which requires a connection to a network, which the FCC has said is prohibited.

If you are using a Verizon Orbic RC400L cellular hotspot then you are definitely using RF and also using the cellular service to connect the nodes. 

I see that you are having issues connecting the nodes through your cellular hot spots and since you are talking about DMZ, ports and IP addresses then you are connecting the nodes through the internet.

All of which is prohibited by the FCC on GMRS. So you won't get much help here on this GMRS forum.

Plus the attitude won't get you very far either. I can tell you that @SteveShannon is definitely not a noob to GMRS or amateur radio.

Best of luck figuring out your networking issues.

The moment you said GMRS node you lost the argument that you are not using it for linking radios via the internet. Like zello.
Ya see Gmrs, the R stands for radio.

You're not comprehending the question. 

I will ask allstar guru's who actually know more. Sorry to have bothered a noob

Cheers

And Allstar is allowed for amateur radio. Not GMRS. Calling @SteveShannon a noob is both inaccurate and rude.

Cheers

Okay, but before you go, Joe, tell me more about what you’re trying to achieve. Are you not transmitting from a GMRS radio to the hotspot?

Is it for the purpose of sending your radio communications to the hub where they would then be sent to another node?

Or is this just a voip network with no radios involved?

I greatly appreciate the cyber hugs!!

Everything is relative. Compared to some I am a noob and I love the fact that I am learning everyday.

Assuming your creating a node only network and talking over DVswitch or Zello only, I would think the network admin would be able to help more then someone on here since most here is just RF related. With that said with my limited knowledge of nodes I would say it sounds like you have a config issue, that your node number is not registered or approved for the network. In which case again you would need to contact your network admin.
