A few random thoughts…

You could consider getting a signal booster as they can be purchased online. For example: https://www.signalboosters.com/blog/a- ... -boosters/

You can also try making a home-built Faraday cage and seeing if you can force the CPAP to find a different carrier. https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-ma ... raday-cage

You could also see if ACBio (CPAP repair) had any suggestions. It is not difficult replacing a CPAP modem.

You can get a different CPAP, maybe go back to an AS10 and see if it works.

And finally, since SleepHQ is cloud based, you could load your data there and they can access it directly.

For those of you who run into this, one of my co-workers used to work on two way radios. He told me to get out the tin foil, leave it plugged in, and wrap it with foil :| . Once it's wrapped with foil, wait an hour or so, then check if it is on a different carrier. I grabbed a piece of Reynolds Wrap off the roll, wrapped the machine in it, and now on AT&T's Network :D . It finished the setup, so it now has my old RS 10's settings. Now to see if it stays on AT&T.
Wow ok! I can't believe that worked. lol Good for you.

So problem solved?

Beware the schoolyard bullies, mean girls, and fragile male egos. Move along if you can’t be kind.

Problem solved. It's odd you can change just about everything on the device, except the carrier, but I now have a work around for that. Thank you everyone for your input and suggestions.

A poor-mans Faraday cage. Nice!
