Usually you have to set the APN manually for an activated SIM to work. IMEI and TTL need to be set for unlimited hotspot. The Spitz X3000 works with Verizon T-Mobile & AT&T and many MVNOs

You can activate the SIM with a phone supported by your carrier and change the IMEI on the MUDI V2 before inserting the SIM to the MUDI V2 Make sure to take note of the original MUDI V2 IMEI incase you ever want to set it back. Also take note of the APN name while the SIM is in the Android so you know what to set it to on the MUDI V2 Once the T-Mobile SIM is inserted you can set the APN name and the TTL

For that I use an app called TTL Changer from the F-Droid app, but I also I did a manual edit to set an IP preference su echo 64 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl I'm thinking about making an end to end video from unlocking the bootloader, rooting, modify restricted APN settings and changing the TTL.

Yes you need a computer for adb and fastboot commands. You can use your hotspot with any device

It's not free but it takes your unlimited phone data plan that has hotspot restrictions and removes those restrictions so that you can take full advantage of your unlimited data that you pay for. This is useful because if you require unlimited cellular data that you can share with your devices, this let's you do it.

In some countries changing an IMEI is illegal but I have found no law in the US against it, only a proposed law by the senator Chuck Shumer that didn't get support and never signed into law. If you choose to use a phone that is supported by your carrier then you will not need to worry about that part anyway because the IMEI is already of a phone allowed by the carrier. That is the part of the process that legality is questioned.

It's common for it to fail if copied and pasted, you may need to type the AT command in manually

@@developer-of-things found out command is formatted wrong. Must have space for 1 and 7 before comma. On current firmware.

Rooted means you have access to the "root" user which has the highest privileges in unix based operating systems. In Android you have to take actions to unlock the root user since no production phone comes rooted. The most common way to root a phone today is to unlock the phone's bootloader and then use a tool called Magisk to patch various files from a firmware update package and flash them to the phone using Android developer tools and you can find out which files need to be patched depending on how the phone manufacturer partitioned the phone file system before installing Android. Some warnings though would be that this is risky because a bad flash could brick the phone and Magisk should be downloaded from the official git repo since there are lots of copies of Magisk on third party websites with embedded malware.

I don't have the Mofi 5500 router but I think I found the AT commands you were looking for. I see there are 4 modem cards this router might come with, but assuming you have the Mofi 5500 with the 5G modem card I searched this query in Google and found an answer on the first link. site:wirelessjoint.com What is the IMEI repair AT command for Sierra Wireless EM9191 cellular module

Probably nxtgenphone but could be enhancedphone or nrbroadband. What it is for you depends on what your sim card requires. The best way to find out is to put the SIM card in an Android phone then navigate to your APN settings to see what APN your phone uses for that SIM card.

I sold the Nighthawk hotspots that I had and bought 5G routers that support all the bands that I need out of the box and get faster speeds than the Nighthawk hotspots. I experimented with configuring cellular bands on the Nighthawk hotspots when I had it with success on the 4G bands but not with a 5G bands. Since I don't have the Nighthawk hotspots anymore I can't reproduce instructions and there are better 5G routers on the market now, the Nighthawk hotspots might be the best 5G hotspots currently on the market due to a lack of options in the hotspot market but the difference between that and the 5G routers was enough for me to take a 5G router around or with me and use it like a hotspot.

I don't believe there is a good option on the market for a 5G hotspot right now, however if taking a 5G router around with you is something you could live with then the GL iNet Spitz GL-X3000 is the best option I know of. If 4G speeds are acceptable then the GL iNet MUDI V2 does the job if used on ATT or T-Mobile however the MUDI V2 is a no go for Verizon

Yes, this means your phone and carrier restrict this APN setting you have to set the APN type to include 'dun' using a rooted phone and the content command e.g.: adb shell su content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --bind type:s:"default,supl,dun,hipri" --where "name='Spectrum'" You can list all APNs with the content query command content query --uri content://telephony/carriers

Well for Verizon I have had luck just setting the TTL on my computer to 65 when tethered to my phone. I didn't need to make other changes and that might be all you need to do. For other carriers usually you have to add 'dun' to your APN type. Your phone might be sufficient

@@developer-of-things yeah, thats atactually the setup that I'm running right now, it works great. But i'm also looking for a router setup that I can connect all my devices to.

@@developer-of-things thank for reply. Why don't you recommend MUDI V2 for Veriz0n? Looks like a great litttle gadgets.

Make sure the APN name is the same as it appears on the phone.

Possibly, it works for some.

You might be able to just set the TTL on the computer that you are sharing the hotspot with. This works with Verizon last I checked which is the same network as Visible. Also maybe checkout pairvpn

If you dont understand it, dont tell the expert how to explain it. You explain it and share the video link please.

If you have a phone SIM use a phone IMEI, if it's a tablet SIM maybe use a tablet IMEI but phone IMEI still worked fine too for me in this scenario

They appear to be the same from a quick comparison of their specs. The Spitz is the only one of the two that is available for purchase on Amazon though. Amazon usually runs discounts on this device and delivery is faster. I'd recommend using a 5G IMEI number that you know won't be used in the same network at the same time. Some people try their luck with IMEI generators and others use an IMEI number of a device they own which would be the safest choice due to potential legal issues.

The IMEI number change on the Spitz router is permanent until changed again though so you might want to back up the original IMEI number somewhere if you ever want to revert it since restoring the device will not bring back the original IMEI.

Without an IMEI change and TTL, it will be identified as hotspot data usage and may still provide data but it will count towards your total data limit. US Mobile isn't totally unlimited and have a fine print high speed data cap of around 50 GB or 70 GB. I don't remember the exact data cap

No, I don't believe a guide exists for that

Most likely the APN needs to be set. Also make sure to remove the SIM before charging IMEI because that could suspend service

​@developer-of-things I've set the apn, and it's saved. the sim works and gets data even on a phone it not registered to it is a Verizon unlimited 5g sim and ive tried a metro plan since t-mobile is the main provider in my area and still the same issue could the isp be seeing thats its a hotspot and not a phone some other way besides IMEI

@@dj13579100 for 5G the IMEI should be the only number used to identify the device.

I don't think so, most carrier hotspots are too locked down to make the needed changes.

I would guess so but it would depend on what TTL and APN carriers there are expecting. Try it out and let me know if it works.

Usually if 4G and 5G connectivity is the issue, I would point to location, the SIM card, or the APN. Probably just make sure that your Android phones APN settings match the router. If you have an iPhone then you might have to find an android to insert the SIM in to read the APN data. I haven't had luck on iPhone with most carriers viewing the APN settings page since it is usually blocked.

@@developer-of-things I already got the right apn settings and no 5g . I looked online and a few people are having this issue hope someone finds a solution! Would love the 700 mbs I get on my phone 5G on cricket

Even with root access the Pixel is a hard one to get working. Mostly because of the TTL changer apps not working on Pixel phones. Then there is the issue of if you can edit your APN type to include 'dun' it's pretty common nowadays for that to be locked. You might be better off picking up a MUDI V2 hotspot if you want easy unlimited hotspot usage of your unlimited plan.

The GL iNet Spitz AX GLX3000 worked about as well as my phone did on Visible. I'm still waiting on a good OpenWRT based portable 5G hotspot option to be available in the market.

I added three AT commands to the script that enable telnet. Once the script unlocks engineering mode these three lines run enabling telnet tn.write(b"AT!TELEN=1 ") tn.write(b"AT!CUSTOM=\"RDENABLE\", 1 ") tn.write(b"AT!CUSTOM=\"TELNETENABLE\", 1 ")

@@developer-of-things Thanks for the quick response 🙏 Do you know how I could find an older firmware version? Where did you find these AT commands documented? Do you have some idea what causes your process to fail on the newest firmware? I see many people saying the same thing. It appears to work until it reboots, but it does not flash the new IMEI and the telnet service is not listening.

@@Lost-s5j Firmware is no longer provided by Netgear for manual updating, it's all OTA updates now. I don't have the Nighthawk hotspots anymore so I can't test the script to find out where it's failing. The AT commands I was able to find by doing a PDF file type search on Google with search terms for the modem chipset in the Nighthawk hotspots.

Probably a patched firmware version. I no longer have Nighthawk hotspots so I can't test to update the script anymore.

I keep it up to date, the current version is V4.4.9 and it usually runs very stable with the exception of if you always run a VPN on it. Sometimes running a VPN can cause interruptions in connectivity.

AT&T for carrier

Yes it could be possible as I've run an unlimited tablet data plan on the Nighthawk M6 for a long time but it seems this hasn't worked for some other people after an update so it looks like this does get patched at some point. I would say GL inet cellular routers would be your best bet for a simple setup with an unlimited data plan.

You have to set the APN also. That's usually the reason for no internet.

It has to be unique, not used by another phone on the same network. Not sure if you could use it on other carrier's network

If your laptop is going to have the SIM card inserted then the process might look something like sending an AT command to the modem (4g module) to set the IMEI number, you would also have to set the TTL to 64 on the laptop, and likely set the APN type to include 'dun' On the router whether you tether wired or wirelessly you would set the TTL to 65. You would have to find the way to do this but this is basically what you have to do.

@@developer-of-things I ordered the MUDI V2 . I'm hoping with your video that explains this I can do it. I'll still use my Note 10+ as the dummy IMEI, this phone will not be used on my carrier once I remove the sim after carrier activation. I'll slip that activated sim into my MUDI V2, update IMEI/TTL/apn and from there I should have the unlimited hotspot. I'll follow up later once it's all set up. Thanks again

@@sammythebull2240 any issues with the setup?

@@developer-of-things none. It works flawlessly, I used a SIM that was for my active tablet, changed the IMEI of the MUDI V2 to the same as the tablet attached to my account. I used it 72 hrs straight steaming video to 2 TVs and 3 other devices were active the same time. Not one issue 😁🫡 I also did the TTL and other settings you mentioned. We would be best friends if we lived closer. I used to root phones and change codes in the binary settings to get unlimited hotspot. That what made me start looking again. That was 10+ years ago. I needed to see where guys like you were with this kind of thing and found your page. Thanks a lot Also this was in the sticks at a campground that's why I had so many devices for 72 hours. This thing powered the Internet for my family and our 35 foot camper

@@developer-of-things hey I thought I replied to this but I can't find my reply so I'll explain again to be safe : Your instructions worked flawlessly. The whole reason I needed this to work is bc I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling with my family. We have a 35' camper with smart TVs and devices throughout. This ran perfect the whole 72 hrs I needed it to. We were somewhat remote too in a cornfield town campground. I put relatively extreme demand on it and can't be happier. I went on to tell you in my other reply that I used to change code in my rooted phones to trick my carrier into believing that it was my activated device using data while I was actually using the hotspot feature of the phone and accumulating zero gigs used with hot spot on. That was 10+ years ago before banks stopped letting rooted devices access banking apps. A lot of services cracked down on that so I can't have a rooted device as a business owner who needs access to banks apps regularly. If we were from the same town we would be best friends Im sure bc you seem like the same kinda cat. 😁🫡 Thanks again. I'll be a subscriber forgive typos
