In case anyone cared, I landed on the Motorola 5g ACE. It had all the 5g bands except mmWave bands and every LTE band. Got open boxed item for under 150. It has excellent reception as well (much better than our iPhones). Still rocking the T-Mobile International unlimited hotspot plan from 2017ish.

Wow. Those are pretty cool.

I have in the past at home but I have other devices for home internet (mofi4500 and T-Mobile can) I don’t want to carry around a router to tether to on vacation.

So I've begun searching for another Android phone to replace my old Moto g4 we use for a traveling / backup hotspot / spare phone. Thought I'd see here if anyone had any recommendations. The Motorola seems to have worked well but Wifi range could be a little better. We were going to use an older ...

I just had this issue today with my MOFI that I'm repurposing as a backup and travel wifi hotspot. It's been set on bridge / ip passthrough for years. I tried to set it up for wifi and it wouldn't connect. Pissed with it for a while and reset all the wifi parameters. I then could connect but it was ...

Long story but I called up to start a T-Mobile Business Internet account. They didn't bother asking me about the actual service address as they were focused on my other address issues registering as a business account (rural life). They are shipping a trash can overnight! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It will work! I bring mine and road trips so the kids & wife have WiFi in the Min-Van I saw that thank you. I am chumming the waters to see if there have been any reports of issues as well. Our tower just got the 5g upgrade and all adjacent towers have TMHI available.... I've been patient, but.....

So has anyone run into any issues by using their official T-Mobile Home Internet in another place than where you are supposed to? I'm thinking about using a nearby address so I can obtain it but, it does violate their TOS.

Whenever I swap sims with the same provider it takes a few reboots for the number to register. TTL settings has never stropped the number from registering for me, just whether or not I could get data. If I am moving from 1 provider to another I note my few settings i use on the mofi, put in the new ...

I already have synology system and don't want to double nat.... causes issues with my VPNs.

How does 5g cause an issue with VPN?

I'm using Tmobile LTE right now but i'm typically behind a carrier grade nat. Not sure why they haven't just embraced IPv6. Is that the issue?

Is IP passthrough still an issue?

Is there a difference in the quality of service you get between official T-Mobile Home Internet and a typical T-Mobile sim + BYOD? T-mobile is saying that I'm next in line for Home Internet service but I'm wondering if I should just go with a WG1608D-M + RM502Q-AE. I already have a t-mobile line ...

That's sounds like a really weird thing to do. Sorry that happened.

...I just don't want to deal with the shenanigans T-Mobile will start to pull soon with their Home Internet. They are trying to sell these and once they hit some internal metrics where they no longer need to grow as much, they will start to boot out and remove people who don't fit the profile they ...

thewirelesshaven.com they can recommend hardware and even build it for you for a labor fee, as they are normally a parts seller for DIY customers in many cases; for the routers and modems. I would go with the WG3526-P and Sierra EM7565. Router with parts for modem: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop ...

I just don't see this option listed anywhere.

Have you checked to see if you are eligible for T-Mobile home internet? Has became available in more area. I have it now. They give you equipment for free. Yes. They have been telling me to be patient for over 2 years now. Maybe I'll call them again. Jim Helms.... I think.... also mentioned there ...

Yes. That’s basically what I want to do. What do you mean have The Wireless Haven set it up for me?

So... I have been back and forth.... considering Starlink, considering trying another upgrade, Starlink, upgrade..... This helped make my decision: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/o52drx/house_was_struck_by_lightning_last_night_rip/ To make Starlink work I would have to put it on my roof ...

Much like other carriers in the US, Verizon uses the TTL method for detecting tethered traffic, so the easiest way is to change it in the router running either GoldenOrb or WiFix firmware. Unfortunately I haven't seen a way to change TTL in a NightHawk M1 router yet. If using an external modem in a ...

I tried all of those and didn't seem to make a difference.

Edited and quoted here:

Thanks! I’ll mess around with this.

Make sure you change both ipv4 (TTL) AND ipv6 (HL) info on that all over the forum here already. Tmobile uses IPV6. Thanks. I've been searching for this information and I am confused. I set TTL the registry on my PC for 65. I created another DefaultTTL entry in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM ...

Used to use the exact same thing. Now got T-Mobile home internet unit. It is cheaper per month and faster. When I say faster like the down load is 2x plus as fast. Upload about the same. That's STILL not available here. I just keep being told to be patient, but..... What I have is essentially free ...

So it's looking like changing TTL on my Mac or PCs does nothing to reclassify "hotspot data" on both iPhone and Android (moto g4). Not sure how others got this to work or if this is no longer possible. Placing my SIM in the MOFI and setting TTL to 65 seems to reclassify traffic to "data" and I can ...

TMobile phone line with grandfathered International Unlimited Tethering via MOFI4500.

I'm actually considering cancelling my Starlink preorder. T-mobile service here has gotten an upgrade in the last few weeks and getting ~45/20. I love the upload speeds and I'm using a free line Tmobile gave me with grandfathered $25 unlimited international. Maybe check it again out after beta is ...

My mom is sick and I have to go out of state to stay with her for a while. She does not have internet, just her phone. I need to bring my work with me, which is a bevy of PCs, that all need network access. My first idea was to try to use my iPhone (TMobile) as a hotspot by changing the TTL setting ...

As curiosity, and after today's T-mobile Home internet failure, I decided to see if Starlink was available in my location. Their website requires your address and a request to order before giving you any information. It says it is slated for mid 2021 in my location but they would happily sign me up ...

gscheb wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 7:29 pm Sounds like post pay to me. Yes use way more than that.

I have a post pay line with international I'm not using but I'm considering. I'm also thinking of getting a prepaid $50 Tmo plan instead as I fear getting my grandfathered plan shut down.

Why is postpaid considered "better"?

Never mind about the pig tails and antennae. I see now connectors now on better images found on google.

First of all, Thank you for all the help you guys have provided. It's really appreciated. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the thread to do this in. If not I can delete and move it or if the mods are willing, maybe they can move it if necessary. So I'm trying to piece everything together to order the ...

Update. I'm returning the M1 for a refund. The ethernet port flaked out and then died. After hours of fiddling I gave up. Some googling pointed to this being a common issue. I was really hoping this would be one of the good Netgear products but I'm not convinced. I think I'm going to try a USB ...

Can you take a T-Mobile phone plan and put the SIM in a router? I've done that successfully with postpaid AT&T but from what I've read, T-Mobile tends to shut that down pretty quickly. I'd done this a few years ago without issues but got worried they would retaliate by cutting off my service and ...

Anyone ever here of this outfit?

https://www.viperbroadband.com/

Thanks for the help guys. I did decide to go with the M1 for now due to availability and ease of use. As soon as I start working more soon I'm going to try a USB enclosure with my r7000. The upload speed on the Mofi is about 50% better than the M1 but the download speed is about 300% better. With ...

I'd only be using the r7000 as a passthrough to my router that has wifi.

Which USB enclosure are your referring to?

Shit! I just realized I have a NG R7000 just sitting here. I can grab a sierra card, enclosure and use rOOter right?

Yeah, I'm using T-mobile but ATT just upped their speeds here and is easily 4x faster on average now. T-mobile will probably up theirs at some point. That's the reason I was interested in band 71. As I understand it, if the modem supports it, it can aggregate bands but I'm not so clear on that ...

gscheb wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 11:54 am My advice is sell the mofi start fresh. Mofi Has resell value to beginners.

Thanks. Any suggestions on a capable yet somewhat simple to use device(s)? I like tinkering but I need to work too!

You can reflash the mofi. I believe you need to remove the modem and sim card first, though I have no idea why. Search for flashing the mofi on this forum,I believe its already been done. Ofmodemsandmen.com is the site where Goldenorb is hosted, an openWRT variant made for LTE modem compatability ...

Hello, In my opinion band 71 typically isn't super fast. Band 71 may be included here soon. We definitely are using 2, 4, 12 & 66 now but I don't have access to 66. Super fast is relative out here. If you want a bit more control over your modem any of the openWRT capable routers will work. You may ...

Hi all, just found this site as I was searching for new equipment / solutions so, I thought I'd ask you folks.... I'm looking to replace my current modem with something else. Currently I am using a MOFI SIM4 from 2016 with a Sierra MC7455 modem. I want access to the newer bands that this combo does ...

I've used Asus for this and was underwhelmed. I use a Synology RT2600AC and find it better in most ways. Switching from dual ISP to usb modem is seamless.
