Re: Tmobile phone sim in hotspot?


I have an unlimited data Tmobile sim (phone) and I was wondering if it’d work in an unlocked hotspot like the MiFi 8000 ? Would I need to do anything?


Should work.

Data usage however will count towards hotspot / tether data on the plan. If you can mangle the ttl to 65 (possibly 64 or less ...

Re: Planning a build and have questions!


I generally like the WG3526P as an established router that has been in use for a few years, AND it has gigabit LAN ports. I turn the wifi off and use it as a LTE gateway modem/router and feed it to an edgerouterX myself. It costs a bit more than some other options, but the gigabit LAN with a ...

Re: Planning a build and have questions!



Just curious about what signal strength you are at on Band 2 and what MHz on that bands?

For routers with higher LAN ports to look at
WG3526
WE1326
WG1608


It's a pretty solid connection on B2, RSRP: -82 RSRQ: -7. When It connects to B12, RSRP: -76 RSRQ -5. Tower is about 7 miles away, but I ...

Re: Planning a build and have questions!

Good point!

I would have overlooked that. I'm pretty close to going out 100mbps ethernet as it stands @ 65-70mbps.

I wish there was a ethernet only 200+mbps modem / router option out there.

Re: Planning a build and have questions!

Hey thanks for the reply!

Yeah, 71 up here is 10mhz and some are even 5mhz wide. Not much of a worry really when I get great reception on 2 and 12. (2 being the fattest band)

Yeah I really like the ASUS routers I have. The mesh system works excellent for my particular setup. Honestly, I'd rather ...

Planning a build and have questions!

Hello!

I'm currently using a m1100 (with 2x2 external antenna) tied to a mobile router for TTL modification, then to my home Router.
This has been working fine for now, however I'm thinking I should look into a more serious solution.
In doing so I'd like to rid the setup of the GL-iNET router ...

Re: PSA: AT&T Doing away with $35 iPad Unlimited.

Looks Like ATT dropped me on my Unlimited Auto Renew plan as well. No warning or communication, just no mobile data connection. I do see the 34.99 plan is on the add / change plan section. Currently trying to identify my next options.
