I work on the road from my RV quite a bit and looking to upgrade my internet, but first I'd like to test it at home.
I'm looking to buy cheap lte modem/router to test at home with different providers and plans before installing into my RV. Any recommendations? It's something I'll sell in another month and upgrade to something fancy.
The other part -- I know the magenta max is a phone only deal, can a little hacking get it to work in above mentioned modem? I currently have Visible and did the TTL tweak on my MacBook and it worked! I'm guessing the Tmobile SIM may have a more difficult path to make it work.

All you need.
The Magenta Max Tmo plans don't/shouldn't need any tomfoolery. Tmobile is very easy to work with SIM swapping.
