New Favorite Tech Channel! Great content, with clarity, but also technical info. Just ordered this modem. And a Yeacom. And a Kuwfi POE post mount too lol.
Awesome! Welcome aboard! Check out the new video I just posted ruclips.net/video/rd8NjuUh4XQ/видео.html Makes the most of out an unlimited data plan
This looks cool. I just got the GLI net mini router and could not be more impressed. They build great stuff
Have not met the mini-router but expect nothing different.
I bought my first GL.iNet product last year after watching one of your previous roundups, kids needed remote school access during a beach trip. Ran the whole house for two weeks no issues. I’ll definitely be upgrading to this one for this year. GL.iNet products are top-notch for their price point, tons of forum support. Great in-depth review.
which Gl-iNet product were you using? If you ended up upgrading can I buy your old one?
Great Firmware on them too.
Awesome video brother PETER. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an amazing weekend.
Thanks, you too!
Hi Peter. I love your videos. I’m sure I’ve watched them all and some of them multiple times. I just purchased the Mofi. Should I return it and purchase your new favorite? Thanks for all you do!
No. I like the MoFi as well but a lot of the benefits of the MoFi are in this one... The most important thing is to get the support for the right channels, external antennas and both of these radios have that. You could always get both and return the one of your choice. That way you get to choose with both in hand.
The problem with VPNs (that most people do not realize) is that your traffic exits to the internet AT the VPN provider's location, where, lots of hackers hang out. Think about it ... VPN .. hackers .. go hand in hand. If they wanted to, they could snoop on your traffic over at the VPN server. So I do not recommend using a VPN for "security". It is a misconception. All you need is a SSL connection (the lock symbol on your browser's address bar). This establishes a true end-to-end secure connection the bank/etc.
Have you been to a secure co-location server center? I have been to a couple. There is no wondering around. One even had armed guards that were there to protect the sensitive data their customers were gathering.
@@PeterC408 Hi Peter - I was not clear when I said "hackers hang out". I meant that they themselves are also using the same VPN provider as you and as such THEY themselves are on the same network as you are when you're connected to the VPN and thus they can snort the traffic where your VPN IP address is, over at the 'datacenter'. So they do not need to be physically present at the VPN server -- they would be connected, just like you or anyone, and monitor the traffic at the VPN IP address level.
Some VPNs also NAT VPN clients through the same public IP address.
By the way, thanks for all your videos.
Helped alot.
Okay, thank you for the video. But which one is better? The Elsys Amp,ima or this one for the 3 major carriers?
Might have to try it i have the att firstnet for first responders works off of channel 14
Thanks for these videos! Could you explain how to do the TTL settings to have streaming data instead of tethering data, thus avoiding throttling? Thank you!

Thanks for your review. Did you ever offer a link to the VPN tweaking you did?
hi peter im william i got a gl inet it works awesome im using USB tethering works great vpn is awsome too thankyou for makeing this video its awsome im useing visible wireless this router lets connect a lot
Great to hear. They do make some very good equipment
Fantastic review Peter. The only thing that made me feel sad was the slow internet you have to put up with. Here in Thailand I get 900Mbs down 500
Mbs up. I will be ordering this from Aliexpress because of your review.... Thanks!
Which carrier do you use? I am looking for a good solution for 4g lte in Thai
@@kaojaicam For home internet I use 3BB Fibre. But for 4G I use AIS and it depends on what package you get which determins the speed and download limit.
@@MacAdder1965 nice, thanks. Hopefully they offer plans with lots of hotspot data so I don't have to jump through all of the INSANE and expensive hoops the United States ISPs offer 😆
What software do you use for making your video? It's great. Of course, I could just google it or search YT, LOL. Great informative video, btw.
Here is a fun little video that I did to show my software and a green screen ruclips.net/video/eYWHzEPz1b4/видео.html
but to answer your question, it is Camtasia Studio amzn.to/3omkKVJ
What does the sticker say on the sim cover of your router? I’m finding some of these don’t support carrier aggregation which is critical to getting high bandwidth, mine is EC25AFFA which doesn’t support it.
Any tips for someone who is wanting to game with solutions like your videos? I live in a very rural area with. Good cell service my local bands are 2,4,12, and 66. If I could just get 10mbps up 5mbps down and like 60 ping I would be absolutely ecstatic. Thanks for the great educational videos!
Peter, I got a question for you... I purchased the KuWFi router. Working fine, activated a new sim card with Verizon. But just receive a message saying I've used 80% of my mobile hotspot... How can I get it to show it's phone data, not a hotspot?
Question: can you change the IMEI number? I see that it’s visible, but can’t tell if you can update that field.
Hi Peter. Can you confirm if this is compatible with ATT? I am being told that ATT has locked these out of their system as of recent. Any thoughts?
Hey Peter. Great vid. I tried this router and I was excited about it but it didn't work for me. Kept dropping my signal and resetting everything on its own. I use an at&t sim. I thought I had a defective unit but I read a similar complaint in the comments on the amazon page and another on the company's forums. I guess this one just wasn't for me. Keep up the great content!
Sorry to hear that. Do you know why it was not working? Check out this video ruclips.net/video/PAl3D84V-3o/видео.html it will show you which tower your are using, where to point the antennas and the supported BANDS. I noticed that this radio, while "AT&T Certified", does not support all the Bands.
@@PeterC408 Thanks for the response. I never really locked down why it wasnt working. I decided to set up the router close to a tower in order to avoid some of the issues you mentioned in your video. Also confirmed the bands I was locked into. It all checked out and I'd be happily connected. Then I would run a speed test or stream a video and the router would disconnect and reset. Support wasnt really helpful. They sent me documentation on the old model lol. I'm tempted to order another one just in case I got a bad unit.
U have done a number of these 4G videos to attain net thru the cell towers. Is it a good idea to buy a cheap unlimited plan and buy ur recommended routers to bring good net speed to a home?
Great video!
Is there any similar product with T-Mobile 5G support?
Good question. 5G chipsets are running hot and expensive, so nothing at this price point or size just yet. Actively waiting.
Thanks for sharing! Just bought one of these for a van build. Two questions. Can the repeater mode be automatic? Meaning if I roll up to a public WiFi can I use that to bypass my 4G data automatically or is it a manual process each time? This might be a dumb one because I suppose you can just use the repeater but does the tethering work over WiFi?
Interesting... can you get it to default to WiFi repeater mode and automatically switch to 4G if not available. I know that it will reconnect to wifi (xfinity public) for example but will it switch back and forth automatically? Not sure - I would have to try that. I would bet that it can failover but perhaps automatic fail back might require small intervention via the web interface. Great product. Still very impressed with this.
@@PeterC408 it does seem to work as a failover, just got my router, works great except I’m finding there are different modems in these. Some don’t support carrier aggregation which men’s you get half the speed I think of what you are describing. I will ask in another comment for visibility. Thanks for sharing and responding.
Peter, I've watched several of your videos on LTE routers and there was one where you changed packet size to speed things up, can you please direct me to that video, I've gone through your videos over and over again and can't seem to locate that particular one.
Thanks in advance and thanks for all your videos.
Here it is... Some people have told me that 1420 did not work for them.. you may want to try 1400,1410,1420,1430,1440 to see which works best for you. Lowest Ping and fastest speeds. ruclips.net/video/SRW4E-z-x54/видео.html
I peter, like your videos , I have a question : I'm planning to get T-Mobile 5g internet service but I also want an out side antenna to get better signal . can you suggest which one to get of the ones you review . I kinda like the one that looks like a bullet.
My concern is that rumors claim that Tmobile is closely monitoring the location of your radio, so that you do not move it to another location. If you change radios an it no longer reports your location, will it still work? Unknown. I would love to know the answer to this too.
@@PeterC408 ok thanks for the info but can you suggest which out side antenna to use
Hey Peter,
I have this router and was wondering if you had a video or knew how to change the TTL settings on the GL-X750V2? I have a T-Mobile Magenta Max plan and would like to know how to change the TTL on this device. Please let me know if you have a video or instructions on how to change this. It would be greatly appreciated.
The TTL is only a packet life value. Some Telco providers have used this to distinguish phone data from hotspot data but it is only a trick. It is fun to try it but it is not a long term solution unless you can change the IMEI number as well. Then we would be talking!
Hi Peter. Please Help with my GL-X750 trying to set up with ATT prepaid data use only, but I had no luck with get it to work. please advice. thank you
Hey Peter... What would be a solid setup for a van-lifer who needs high speed for work?
How fast is high speed? I get up to 85Mbps with 4GLTE but it depends on your location. I bet this video would be helpful for you ruclips.net/video/PAl3D84V-3o/видео.html
Peter, does the Spitz support IP passthrough, and if it does, where and how do you configure IP passthrough in the web GUI
No it doesn't
does it allow skipping hotspot tethering by changing the ttl?
Peter, thank you for your information, but how can you lock the band 66 and what is the commend?
I googled it online. I found it on one of the forms. It was an AT Command (modem days) if I remember correctly.
Peter, New Question. There is a lot of great 4g lte Tablet plans out there, How about using that sim plan ? If so what is the TTL of a Tablet ?
TTL is just a packet value, time to live, that will enable a packet to die instead of bouncing around aimlessly forever. Back in the day, it was creatively utilized by some providers to identify phone traffic instead of hotspot or devices. That "trick" has evolved but so has the market. We can now have many wonderful and unlimited options like TMHI. The cat and mouse game of trying to out smart big telco has run its course and the reasons for doing so are disappearing. Why not just get an unlimited TMHI gateway for $50-40/mo and just move on?
So, the way I understand this is that the sim card needs to have an associated data plan from a cellular company so another data provider?
This little device can do so many things... You can use your cellphone to tether several devices, wireless bridge public wifi and more... if you want to use the 4G functionality, it will require a SIM card to do that.
Looks promising. Can the ethernet port output to an external router/hardwired lan?
Sure but an external router would create it's own subnet unless you allow a pass though. This router does it all. It has firmware based on open dd-wrt
This little thing works great, the only thing I can only get 720 video on Netflix and RUclips, I’m using T-Mobile, any thoughts?
Not sure... Are you getting good bandwidth? You should only need 12Mbps to get 1080P. Are you getting at least that. I have gotten close to 90Mbps wiht T-Mobile and this box.
Are you still happy with this as a VPN router or is there a better option? Is it true the carrier doesn't see your traffic volume while using a VPN? Love your videos
Is a hotspot device basically the same as a 2 in 1 modem router?
this good for Australia?
Hello Peter, I could not find an alternative contact for you that I could use so please forgive me for asking my question here. I am trying to find reviews of a router called the Yeacomm YF 325. It is supposidly an industrial router that has a dual sim card facility. I would be grateful for your thought on this as not sure about the "industrial" claim or what it means. Plus I can find any reviews which I find a little odd as there is also a claim the router is highly rated🤔
Thanks in advance
I have the YF-325 and it is a good router. It offers watchdog timers which allow you to auto switch when the Enteriprise network goes down.
I'd like to use this with my TMobile phone sim and change ttl settings like you can with the yeacomm. Does this support those features?
pasted from another response "In the cat and mouse game of trying to get more internet than you are paying for, TTL has gained a lot of attention. Some telco providers are using a Time to Live value for phone traffic, so that they can treat it differently than internet. Some people have claimed that they can fool the big Telcos into thinking that their internet traffic originated from a phone, but I know of no one that has gotten away with it.... that said, even if we did, it would be short lived. Now some of these routers allow you to set the IMEI value, in which case we could appear to be our actual phones... that seems like a better idea." To answer you actual question, I did not see the option to change the TTL in this firmware.
@@PeterC408 sure would love to know what modems Allow you to set a custom IMEI I can think of so many used cases for that I absolutely love your channel just for you guys showing all of this technology and since I drive a semi for a living it’s routers and things like this that make it where I could have a somewhat normal Internet connection in my truck
@@bubba19912 there’s an AT command to change IMEI but we are unsure if this modem supports it or have we confirmed?
HI Peter, i was sold on the Beryl when i saw your video. Should i get this instead of the beryl?
Hummm, that is a toss up. The Beryl is newer and faster supporting new and faster protocols but this one has a 4GLTE slot and external antennas. Very difficult decision..... I think for WiFi 6, I like the Beryl
@@PeterC408 ok. Hmm maybe I can just get the beryl first. Then pair it in the future with some cheap 4g modem/dongle/hotspot if I need it. Any recommendations for that?
Hey Peter
I have a ATT Nighthawk
How would I go about to get it unlocked to use a T Mobile SIM in it
TMobile seems to want you to use their equipment (although I am not sure why). It appears to be locked to the IMEI number and APN. I would see if I could modify those value and be recognized by their network. For the Nighthawk, you would have to make sure that it supports the right bands for TMobile and your area. Do you know what bands you are trying to receive? Check the documentation and see if that one is supported.
Peter Can you add a external cellular antenna to the spitz?
I believe the answer is yes, but it is not as easy as removing those little SMA rabbit ears and adding an antenna. It is probably an internal connection for the Cellular antennas and they are probably IPEX-1 connectors but I have not opened it up. So can I do it or can it easily be done? I do love their product and image that the new Spitz with 5G support is something worth seeing. amzn.to/48QO4bC Wow! that is at a different price point all together. If you are thinking about a solid gateway and the need for antennas, make sure you see this one ruclips.net/video/HU7TQ97cv9s/видео.html It as a modem, powered over Ethernet that lives outside!!! Great overage, all carriers equally supported, 4G and 5G in both NSA and SA with bands that are still coming out like n48 and n77 which will transform 5G forever!
Can you adjust the TTL?
My phone has unlimited data, but the when I use the phone’s hotspot I am limited. If I use my phone SIM card which data will be used?
Thanks
Hi all , looking for some quick advice . I have a friend I've recently started handling the cell phone plans for ( not normal for me ) , and they gave me contact info for their Verizon rep . I've been working with him for almost a year now , and I'm constantly having problems getting answers from him on basic things like can he confirm he put insurance on our plans and how do I utilize the insurance after a phone is damaged ? My question to you all is : how do you normally work with Verizon on things like activation problems on new phones and questions on insurance and such ? Do you have a client rep you ask , a special number to call , or how can I get quick and reliable results here ? What is the proper way to request a new client rep ? If I make the request , I want to make sure I don't end up still stuck with the same guy . I've already had a heart to heart with him and needing faster response times , and the quality dropped after that talk .
Like you, I work with a rep, but he’s awesome. Always responds to me within 30 minutes and always confirms details and answers all of my questions.
I’m not familiar with “network management.” Do you mean the administrative side of their website where you can manage user and cost center information for a specific user or are you talking about mobile device management? I use both at my organization.
If you have a problem with activation or something technical, do you contact Tony miles (rep) who is quick to help?
I do. There have been times where I’ve received SIMs for a phone or laptop and it didn’t activate. Sometimes he suggests I contact customer service and other times he finds an error in the order and corrects it.
Network management" on the plan itself. So all the lines on the plan, the speed is managed by Verizon to work with all Verizons clients (it would slow down during peak times). We have an older plan that isn't throttled like that, and I don't trust my nonresponsive rep telling me it should be fine (but he won't be able to change it back)
Do you need to have a certain plan from T-Mobile? I’m going use this with custom ttl so I can use phone data only
The gateway works very well with T-Mobile. The "TTL trick" is a cat and mouse game that has evolved beyond TTL. If you are successful, we are all ears. 😀 I really like this device, there are so many ways to use it.
@@PeterC408 thanks for the info I’m curious if their is a way to use my unlimited data on this router
Could you make a video about repeating the public wifi? Trying to help a friend out with his Cox limits!
I got ya. Here it is on another modem by the same manufacturer. Also a great product ruclips.net/video/yrF_E7ndjvA/видео.html
Can it be used for automatic failover? As in if your phone drops out it automatically switches to LTE for example...?
Failover is a feature of some of these routers... It uses a "watchdog timer" to regularly check for a response from a known entity... if this fails, it looks to switch. If you want this feature there are some very good choices out there but you need to look specifically for this feature. I did a video on it but few seemed to care. Now, this will provide great failover, just not automatic.
Can you do port forwarding on any device that you've tested?
Both of the modems from the manufacturer have a full suite of configuration options. This is a good choice for flexibility.
Do you know is this will work with Visible ? They do run on Verizon towers but have a different APN ?
Visible is trying to make a business by purchasing bandwidth form large telcos and reselling it. They really don't want "data-hogs" like us (me too). Here is a great article that talks about what T-Mobile and Verizon are doing. They call if FAW (fixed area wireless). They want to sell off bandwidth in areas where they have extra capacity. www.fool.com/investing/2022/02/09/t-mobile-is-already-a-leader-in-home-internet-serv/
Can I use the SIM out of my AT&T phone or do I need to get another SIM and have it activated as a stand alone hot spot? Would rather use my phone SIM as needed.
Yes, you can use a standard phone SIM as I did in this video ruclips.net/video/znfTVp4iCOA/видео.html but you need to understand the bands used by your carrier and local tower to know if this radio will work . See this video ruclips.net/video/PAl3D84V-3o/видео.html for how to do that
@@PeterC408 Looks like the AT&T tower I want to use has bands 2,14 and 17. Do you know if this device will support those? Between this router and the Yeacomm P21 which would you select? Looks to be only $40 difference.
If I bought this and my landlord said i can use his wifi but i don't get a good signal on my phone to see his wifi. This might be a dumb question but will this devise pick up his wifi and I'll be able to repeat it in my shop? He's about 3 building/offices over btw.
Will he know that im repeating his wifi? Not that it matters but was just wondering lol
Thanks in advance! Love your videos!!
This would be a good use but you need to put the repeater in a place where it gets good signal. Do you have attic space between your buildings? Let your phone as your guide... it is one of the best receivers you'll ever own. If it does not get good signal, either will this repeater. Find a spot where it can get something worth repeating... can it be secured?
@@PeterC408 ok.. thank you for the information.. yes it can be secure. ...i'll figure something out 👍
This is the first one I've seen that can get Sprint bands which would be good for someone using T-Mobile. The price has dropped to $129 and it's got a lot of bad reviews though. Also they say that currently, it only supports T-Mobile mobile data plan and AT&T IoT data plans, whatever those are. 5 GB for $100.00? Maybe someone could explain them?
This is a very good product with caveman reviews. Most people have no idea what they are looking at. I am still using this product on a daily basis (it runs the back of my house, Kids network). 5G is for 5GB WiFi (it has dual bands), it does not support 5G Cellular. Great product though. I would imagine that it has a price drop because it is getting replaced soon. Might be a good deal. This is the Spitz and this company also makes the Beryl (non-4G LTE cellular version) but it has much faster WiFi 802.11ax or WiFi 6.
Hey Peter I have the Spitz 3000 and I could not get my Ipvanish to connect. Did all the steps it just stays orange.
What are "all the steps"? Did you download all the OVPN definitions. Did you unzip it and identify the few that you wanted to install?
Since this is a 3G/4G modem, under what circumstances will I use the Tethering option? The modem connects to 4G network directly, so why should tether and make the modem connect to 4G through my phone?
When I leave the room, my phone leaves with me. I use a device like this at work, as a fail-over for when the internet goes out. It supports the entire company: time clock, credit card machines and sales people. It is so fast that people forget to check the land line and disconnect.
Are you saying that it can repeat and make a public IP I have security cameras and I use the T-Mobile gateway will this give me a static IP for my security cameras at home?
A very interesting question.... I found this on line and now I want to try it....community.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-4G-LTE-Router/How-do-I-get-a-static-IP-address-for-my-4gLTE-usb-modem/td-p/701108 THIS IS A PORTABLE ROUTER WITH VPN BUILT-IN Let me know what you find out.

Looks like I finally got a stable connection to Verizon with my Spitz, after quite a bit of headache. Fingers crossed its no longer counting everything as hotspot data, I'll know soon.
Yes, let us know. What are you setting as TTL?
@@PeterC408 I’ve been using 64, adding the ttl mangle script to custom firewall rules in luci. I’ve also been setting the imei to match the phone that the sim was activated in. I’ll know soon if it’s counting data as hotspot soon and will report back
@@PeterC408 I can confirm that at least for now my data is not being counted as hotspot. However it is apparently being subject to throttling during times of network congestion according to my account overview, which it didn’t say for the phone or tablet that was previously on that line. I haven’t actually noticed any change in speed compared to straight from the phone but that is probably because I max out at a bit over 20mbps down with the antenna I’m using at my location. Apparently the imei change command is no longer working because they are displaying the devices original number online now. Pretty interesting. Overall I’m happy to have a pretty stable connection to the outside world finally despite living in the middle of nowhere on the side of a giant active volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! 🤙
If I have TMobile home internet, can a use the sim from the router on this router?
Unfortunately the sim from the T-Mobile home internet is locked to that device.
It is unknown but I've heard speculation that their radio closely monitors your location to make sure that you stay put. This would mean no moving your device to another home/office and no radio changes.
Peter can you use a T Mobile SIM card from a phone in this? Thanks Mike
Great question. I would love to know but from what I've heard, they want to make sure you are at home (so they are tracking your location). This modem might not support such geo-location things, but just a guess as to why it may not work.
New answer after re-reading... Yes, I have taken SIMs out of phones and gotten them to work in these device.... but it is going to be pulling hotspot data. It sees the device as a hotspot and not a phone. Now, if you were to be able to spoof the IMEI value to match that of your registered phone????? That would be another story... perhaps.
You can, but you need to “work” the modem (radio) to match the IMEI of the phone, this gl x750 comes with Quectel modems, easy to work with, you can also change the modem for a better cat like the em12-g for more Carrier Aggregation.
Also you need ttl modification if not you will het hotspot leaking which mean you will have hotspot usage.
@@markahdz can you provide more info or where to find the steps on doings this i have this model an few lines of tmobile that I'm not using i did conect to one but as soon as i used my laptop i tried to watch a video on yoitube and it was constant buffer so your help would be great if ok thanks in advance
@@jesrdz8589 Sorry for the late reply, you must know that IMEI change is a law issue so it's up to you if you want to continue the process, in order to "clone" the phone line you need to "fix" the imei from the phone so if you have a quectel modem just search for the "at" command to change that look in google at command imei quectel it will show you the command line, it literally takes about 2 mins to do it, know if I remember right, I dont think there is an option on the gl.inet to where you can send commands to the modem so you may need an usb-modem enclosure for sending commands from your computer to the modem card, if the modem is a sierra modem well then you need to do a little different process, you can find the information on google, sorry I'm not too specific but like I said IMEI change is "against the law".
For some reason while setting up this router I popped the sim in and changed the TTL to 64 for metropcs T-Mobile. I says there’s an error that says SIM card is not registered. The sim works fine in the phone. How do I get around this?
Lots of people are trying to use phone plans in routers. Some of these have phone applications that register the phone IMEI to the SIM. It seems easier to get a hotspot data plan (although maybe not as inexpensive). Setting TTL is an older trick. Now they are using phone apps to bind phones to phone plans. I am not sure about Metro PCS. Not registering means that it could not get on the network (APN) did you set the APN to fast.metropcs.com
Hi Peter, can i change the ttl on the router

If you are replicating a network that is locked, say Xfinity WiFi, then it will still be locked but if you know the password, you can get on. What I was looking at doing was getting that network, authenticating using the password with a PC (connected over Ethernet)and then sharing that authenticated connection with the PC over WiFi... then you could support several devices with no hassles.
@@PeterC408 oh ok. That's what I thought. But for a minute I thought we were able to bypass and. Log on. I was gonna say what. Really. Lol. But I just ordered one.

Question about team mobile with global protect vpn. Would it be better to use a router and hard wire it to T-Mobile home internet?
I am getting no connection when I connect to the VPN T-Mobile home internet.
Hi Tim... there was no problem using VPN with Tmobile. Tell me more.

@@thefrugallifehacker1225 Now that's more like it.
What is the function of the SD card in this unit?
Since no one more knowledgeable has replied, I'll offer my two cents. As I understand it, the SD card allows you to store data that then is available to devices throughout your network. Think of it as a mini hard drive for everything on the network. If that's incorrect, someone can chime in. BTW, I'm not sure how practical it is. I would think storing things on the cloud would serve the same function.
Know anything that would work for vzw bud I can tie my phone too
What is VZW? Verizon? This one would work well, if that is the case.
I have the same LTE router..it very stable with band lock, and TTL. Wish it has gigabit ethernet port. I get 135mbps dl and 40mbps up with 5 ghz wifi..lan port only get max 60mbps dl 40mbps up.
How were you able to set the band and TTL? Do you have some good commands to share?
@@PeterC408 Hi, in the "At command" tab, there's a drop down called "Shortcut" click on it then go all the way down to "set band" then you can select the bands you want to lock. For TTL.. Go to Spitz Panel > More settings > Advance > log into Luci > Network tab > Firewall > Custom > and Add " iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING 1 -j TTL --ttl-set 64 " (without quotes) to the beginning of the script > click the Restart button
They make a 1000mbps version of this router now, check gli website.
@@CKexploresNYC so just out of curiosity, changing TTL to 64 or 65 will recognize sim as phone data and not Hotspot data?
@@arc6232 Yup, so they won't throttle you. I'm currently using t mobile magenta max with 2 mimo outdoor antenna facing the towers. I use 1TB a month.
Is there a way to bypass Tmobile throttling streaming at 480p without using a VPN?
T-Mobile should only be throttling you if you are using "Binge-On" an older program they had where you could stream Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and others without impacting your data program. By passing with a VPN would cause it to be seen as normal data. If you are paying for service, T-Mobile doesn't throttle - they want you to use as much data as possible. When I am on WiFi I set Netflix to 720p so that I don't run out of data. Try getting a better signal and it should upscale.
Links for the external antenna ?
Good point! I have adjusted the description to include the external antenna I used as well as another 4G modem for RURAL areas! But if you just want the link, here it is Proxicast Antenna Tested amzn.to/2LfALev
Can I call you sir , I dont know how to set up mine
Does it have ttl settings?
While this seems like an advanced "hack", I know of no one that has foooled the big Telco providers into getting Free Internet. That said, I do not see the option but will check to see if it can be set.
@@PeterC408 I'm very much a novice at this, but you did a video on Nomad. I believe that's how they offer "unlimited" "unthrottled" service reselling the major carriers. I think a lot of other resellers are doing that. That's my assumption/speculation. They are very vague, or downright unresponsive, when anyone brings it up.
I’ve been trying to use the m2000 device with a T-Mobile SIM card for the past couple months but it’s terrible really considering getting this, 30mbps upload and download would be more then enough for gaming, rip please someone advise me
The gaming experience is going to depend on your signal and the latency to the server you are trying to connect to. Give it a try. Jeff Besos is paying for shipping :)
@@PeterC408 using the T-Mobile provided device that’s basically just the size of a small phone im still able to play certain games with no problem, im hoping this device in your video with the antennas will at least boost my signal by 10-15 mbps i get a reliable 10mbps down load but not even 1mbps upload my latency in my area regularly tests at 55 idk if that’s important, but once I get this next paycheck and buy it I’ll let you know back here in the comments
Can you change TTL settings?
This is an excellent hotspot and it does so many things so very well. I believe that the firmware is based of DDWRT so it should have the TTL feature but if you are hoping to fool the large telco providers into thinking your hotspot is a phone by setting the TTL value, you are about 3 years too late for that one. :) It is a cat and mouse game and just like the squirrels on my back fence they keep getting smarter and smarter. Every time I find a new trick, they get used to it. If you want fast unlimited internet for $50/mo check this out. ruclips.net/video/C4LnaewYSZA/видео.html
I can not access my sd-card, though I activated file-sharing....
Filesharing is a 2-way street. You have to make sure that your device is willing to find shared devices as well. See if this helps support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-sharing-over-a-network-in-windows-10-b58704b2-f53a-4b82-7bc1-80f9994725bf
I don’t understand how to get SIM card for the router some one please explain
You can go to TMobile, Verizon or AT&T and tell them that you want a SIM for a hotspot. They will try to sell you their hotspot, but tell them that you already have one. They might try to complicate things by staying you need to provide an ASIN or something similar but it is not true. Just the SIM folks.
what about changing imei number?
So you are hoping to spoof the device. I like the idea but I have not seen that setting on any product to date. :)
Do I also need a modem after buying this router?
This is a gateway. Both in one. No modem necessary, this is a modem and access point together
@@PeterC408 oh okay.
I might possibly get PLUTO TV after buying this device and connecting it.
I don't see why not!
@@PeterC408 👍
@@PeterC408 Both in one, so I should not ever need spectrum and then I'm not paying spectrum or any internet company?
Since the gateway router would have the password on the back of it and any other information
And this is better I'm not renting any gateway router I own it.
Hey Peter, Pulling what little hair I have out !!! Can not get this thing to Register the SIM card. Well thats not totally true after trying 40 time It worked. But then Visable started this thing to sign into my Visable account to pay my bill I had to have a code the text me. so I put the card in a phone to retrieve a text pay my bill and put it back in. Well it did it again, after 4 thousand trys I figured I had two days left of my 30 days to return it so I did thinking it was probbly that unit. And I ordered another one got it today and the same this !!! AHHHHHHHH !!!!!!! Help if you can.
Visable service tries to bind itself to a phone to make sure that it is not supporting WiFi hotspot users. Hotspot users, like us, are generally considered undesirables; we place a tremendous and constant demand on the network. Companies like Visable, Mint, Metro PCS, Consumer Cellular do not own their networks but instead purchase excess bandwidth from the network owners. If you want to run a hotspot, going to the source should be your best bet. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile are the ones that own the networks. Those should recognize straight away. It is interesting to know that Visable worked after removing and re-inserting the SIM. I would have thought that they would have locked to that phones IMEI number upon registration in their app. You would not have to do this if you had T-Mobile for example. They have a hot spot plan for 100GB of data for $50/mo. How much data do you use?
@@PeterC408 To be honest I dont know, never had to monitor my data. We stream all of our tv
Yes, when TV was streamed at 720P no one hit there data limits but now that you can stream at 4K and Dolby 5.1, the data streams got a lot bigger and we started hitting our 1TB/mo limit and even going over. Most hotspots limit you to 720P viewing which works out pretty well.
If I have a sim card out of a tablet on my account,could I use it without it being read as hotspot. I have unlimited data on the tablet.
If you have an old AT&T account for your iPad, the answer is surprisingly Yes. My cousin had an old iPad and I put it in a radio for him. He has been watching non-stop for 4 months now without no issues.
@@PeterC408 I put the Sim card in and it said that the card wasn't registered, but I have been using the card in my tablet for two weeks.
@@PeterC408 I have installed the Sim card and the wifi is working great, but I when I check my service usage, it's using hotshot data instead of data usage. Is there a setting to change that.
Need 5G version.
which CAT is this device?
CAT is a term used on ethernet cables and it is short for Category. This box doesn't really care what ethernet cable you plug into it, but I bet you mean will it take full advantage of CAT 5e or CAT 6. Look, the speeds you are probably looking to replicate are less than 100Mbps, so you don't care. It will give you wireless (WiFi) speeds above that but for cabled devices, you would be limited to 100Mbps. Don't let that slow you down... this is a super great device that only 3 out of 5 will appreciate or understand. 😮😎
@@PeterC408 I meant the 4G LTE module CAT4 or CAT6 etc...
Why not use a 4G Android phone for the same purpose?
A very good question. Try plugging a wired connection into your phone or trying using a public wifi as your own. With this thing, I could go to a Starbucks and setup my Alexa (wired or wirelessly and encrypting all my traffic with a built-in vpn). That's the difference, oh and I can support more clients.
@@PeterC408 Hey Peter, after buying a modem router, don't I still have to pay for internet?
Monthly?
@@PeterC408 👍
@@PeterC408 Still need to pay an IS provider? monthly?
HOW DO YOU PLUG IT IN? They sent a uk plug. 😡😡
It comes with all the plugs and it geniusly runs off of 12v making it perfect for mobile applications. They have a new 5G 802.11AX version which supports 5GSA and Bands n25 and n77. amzn.to/44XIS3l A bit pricey but wow! I want one!
@@PeterC408 I’m an idiot. I didn’t notice the adapter. Doh! :-)
3 star on amazon ! pass
I am not paid for my opinion but let me tell you that this company creates some of the most well made and innovative devices I have seen in years. Get one and make your own decision. There are a lot of people out there that do not know how to use technology.... but IMHO this device is a very creative and an incredibly useful device. Using this device, I can pick up a public internet that totally unprotected, create my own network with a firewall and even implement OpenVPN .... On the device!!!! I can then share it with dozens of devices. I just made Starbucks and McDonalds free networks, safe enough to trade stocks or buy bitcoin!!! 3 out of 5 people? Some people are just dumb.... look at the uptake on free vaccines, it is also about 3 out of 5.
I know you buy your own to review. I'm looking into this one when it come out, MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-7411
Would like your opinion
This looks like it might be worth taking a look at. MOFI had a great product but kind of ruined their reputation by cost reducing the 4500 and really making it vastly inferior to its once glorious self .... and then they made it worse by standing behind the change poorly. We'll see.
Just a heads up, there is a family of 5500. Including dual sim card. But that one is out of my price range
