TTL, APN, for ATT? *need a reliable solution.

[treyallover]

Does anyone know if ATT examines APN+TTL when using a phone sim in an LTE modem? I've bounced around from OTRmobile, BlazingHog, Boom, and now GCellular. I've also used GLI.net tethering with ATT's data connect (unreliable). A lot of these resellers have stopped offering ATT.

As of right now, I'm leaning toward multiple Nighthawk M1's (dc-unlocked and band locked) with an ATT plan (post or prepaid).

I'm currently looking into speedify for bonding and failover to increase reliability. I want to be able to use more than 400GB per month if I need to (boom limits to 400gb)

Can anyone recommend hardware and software for this(including APN and TTL settings)? I would prefer to use ATT, although US cellular and and Verizon are also available.

I currently have a ZTE mf279, as well as a Netgeart LB 1120. I can purchase whatever additional equipment is needed. I'm looking for a reliable solution for home internet and I don't mind stacking modems.

plus these to get the modem in the router:

Done. APN must match the APN the phone uses when the SIM is in it (ATT uses NXTGENPHONE and another one now, cant remember it atm), best plan is the small business elite plan.
TTL for ipv4 and ipv6 is usually 65 or 66. Set this in the webUI of the router under Network-->firewall-->Custom TTL settings, or Custom Firewall Rules if you want to define both ipv4 and ipv6

THANK YOU.

Are there any other recommendations for blending in? User agent, etc?

I just use the postpaid unlimited elite consumer plan. Since I already had that for my actual phones, adding a line only runs me ~$35/mo. Nxtgenphone or broadband for the APN. Ttl changes aren't necessary for AT&T, but 116 is what my phone reports when doing a ping directly from a terminal interface while on LTE.

Ignore me on the TTL.. The result showing on a ping test is incoming, not outgoing.
