Ok Pete, now for the slow guys. When you put this unit outside on your pole and ran the cable back into your home...what did you plug it into? I am assuming you ran an ethernet cable back into your house? Or, was that just a power cord and you are running from WiFi because I did see that :through walls" setting?
Yes, the cable comes back into my house and plugs into a special adapter that takes in an ethernet connector from my network and puts out the another ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet. It is like a data pass-through but adds power to your ethernet cable. Think of it as an ethernet modem on the roof.

I think 5G is a great way to get internet, but find the price of the rougher a bit expensive at the moment. I can get EE 5G but only get about 20 meg, due to a weak signal on my phone, and do not want to spend a fortune on antennas and stuff, and the same with Three. Vodafone and O2 share a mast just a few 100 meters from me, but is a low-spec 4G mast that gives me a reliable 25Meg connection and an inexpensive 4G router works fine, which I've connected to a WiFi extender for 5GHz WiFi. As well this way I can leave 4G router in a window for the best mobile signal, and the WiFi extender can be located in a central location of the flat for WiFi coverage of flat. Have used an ethernet cable for WiFi extender. Once you've found the best mobile network have a look to see if there is any cheaper resellers. For me, Lebara was the best deal on the Vodafone network.

Peter, 6 months ago I bought the Yeacomm 5G ODU unit. 2 months ago I started getting dropouts. I would lose my internet for a few minutes at a time. I assumed it was the sim so I asked for a new one. Being winter here in Chicago I didn't want to climb on a ladder to install the sim so I put it into the T-Mobile modem until better weather. Today I was up on the roof installing the new(er) sim and have the problem again. It's not the sim, it's the Yeacomm unit. Is anybody else having this problem? ( after all, this thing is expensive )
No, this is the first that I am hearing of any dropouts. Mine has been running 24/7 but I know that Chicago is a cold climate. Did you contact Yeacomm support? They have been very responsive to me and seem very anxious to help customers. Login and check your Firmware version, because they will likely ask. Also check and see if there is a new version of FW. How do you have it configured... NSA or SA? Have you tried swapping just to see if stability improves.
I'm looking at getting an outdoor modem, metal walls and roof, distant towers though T-Moble now shows me in range for extended 5G. Have you tried other outdoor modems? What about 5G vs 4g /12? Fed up with Hughes...
If you are considering 4G, take a look at this Gateway by Elsys. They are expected to come out with a 5G unit very soon but the Yeacomm is hard to beat. I also looked at a 4G gateway by Yeacomm but the band choices back then were more opportunistic. ruclips.net/video/aHYh8WlSsMg/видео.html Here is a video that you should definitely see. Just straight talk with the radio experts at Proxicast about XR bands (eXtended Range). ruclips.net/video/RWJ38qF_ZxA/видео.html
Yes. It is both a decent antenna and a feature rich modem. It will do 5G SA and NSA and has great band coverage and aggregation. It even supports bridge mode, so yes, I still like it.
🎉 Great video!🎉 This product sounds fantastic my only question is at - 22° Celsius operating range, how is that going to work in States like Maine when we may be at - 30 or 35? How serious do you think that would actually drop the usability and also would that be any issue with the capacitors at that temperature?
Great question. You can post a question on the Amazon page and either a team member or customer can chime in with the answer. I am interested to know. That is indeed pretty darn cold. I can't even imagine how cold that must be. As a general rule if I can see my breath, I stay home. 😬
Thinking about this again... If it really gets that cold, I would think of running antennas outside and keeping the "guts" inside where it is warmer. I really like the Proxicast antenna. It just works. ruclips.net/video/wXSpbP8NuWw/видео.html
Has anybody had issues with TM/Metro refusing to authorize this type of device? I tried a similar product and according to the tech rep from TM/Metro asvised that my device would never be authorized. Seems odd, but hey i understand they don't want harmful interference.
Harmful interference from where? Imagine buying a phone from a source that was not Samsung or Apple. If it puts out the same frequencies, the network sees it is the same thing. Their network only needs to know the APN and IMEI.
@@PeterC408 Exactly my theory, especially considering the lawsuit involving Verizon and our ability to swap our sim into any device. To give a little bit more clarification of the issue, when I spoke to the representative I had very little faith that they had any knowledge of the issue. They told me that because it wasn't an approved and authorized device that it's IMEI is automatically going to be rejected. And of course when I mentioned that Federal lawsuit involving Verizon gave us the right to swap our Sim to a compatible working device, they suddenly didn't want to speak to me about the matter because I had said "lawsuit". It was a very unproductive waste of an hour and eighteen minutes. That's why I'm currently in the search for individuals like yourself that have the knowledge and experience which is hugely appreciated. The only thing that I can conclude about my experience was that they didn't have the answer, and simply just put bits and pieces together to make me go away 🤷🏻
I'm new to TMobile internet just got the gateway last week! It's working fairly well but would like to improve it if i can. My question is do i just pull the SIM card out and place it in this outdoor unit and then plug Ethernet cable into a regular router inside and im up and running?
Did you flip it around? There is a small graphic that shows the proper orientation. They system boots up slightly faster if you use Slot1. Personally, i have been successful using both slots.
@PeterC408 I tried 6 ways to Sunday and it will not go in either side. Is it possible the sim card is a different size? I'm going to t-mobile tomorrow. Please look at the pic of the slot
I'm a newby at Home Internet Cell Service. I do have T-Mobile Service and I'm using the G4AR gateway. My goal is to increase my signal strength and reliability. If I were to purchase the Yeacomm gateway can I simply remove the sim card from the G4AR and install it in the Yeacomm without any issues?
@7250dk There is no "simply" with radio products. The Yeacomm can be configured to accept that card but there are steps involved. Take a look at this video ruclips.net/video/SqJ5e8w8iio/видео.html My new favorite Elsys product is there. It is an antenna and a modem in one so its a good deal at $699 Watch the video. This radio with the same card was 120Mbps faster than the NR610 both on Download and Upload speeds and it comes with access to a really good reseller who can get it working for you.
I don't have those technical specs. Wish I culd answer this. Zyxel appears to be a European corporation who sells some of their equipment to US ISPs.@@PeterC408
It depends on where you live. Some countries consider adjusting IMEI setting as a sensitive area. Yeacomm will probably ask you before sharing that information. You need to change the IMEI, the APN and the Gateway settings and then poof, it works. Note: We still have to pay for T-Mobile service, we are just using a different gateway..
This is from their Support Group, "The NR610 is using Fibocom FG360-NA module which is based on MTK T750 chipset. The NR610-Q is using Quectel RM520N-GL module which is based on Qualcomm X62 Chipset".
I am using a T-Mobile Hotspot card in this video but after looking at the Band support, this unit would work with AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. I got it to work with the T-Mobile Home Internet even!
330 feet (over the length of a football field) gives you the freedom to get the radio and antennas in the right spot. Running antennas any distance is not only met with signal loss but a huge cost as well. Lots of buildings have roof and this would allow you to run a good signal down to the basement. It really is a neat solution. Thanks.
Do you still like this gateway? If I can sell some stuff I'm thinking about getting one. I need a remote gateway about 200 feet away near the top of a hill behind my house. I've been picking up the wrong tower 7 miles away for years and it's gone to shet. Instead of complaining, I'd rather be on the tower I'm supposed to be on, 2.5 miles away.
That's strange. Yes, YT has been acting crazy. Here is my latest video ruclips.net/video/1KHCjxmIBac/видео.html but I have a new gateway coming that should be FANTASTIC for XR band reception. Can't wait to try it. Welcome back.
T-Mobile? T-Mobile home internet is one of the best deals going but the hardware lacks pro features. This one allows me to set the right settings to make that card work in the unit.
@@PeterC408 Thanks Peter. I'm new at this so I guess I really don't know how or what to ask. I have just obtained T-Mobile 5G home internet service with the G$AR gateway. Can I simply remove the sim card from the t-mobile gateway and put it in the Yeacomm gateway without any issues. I'm just looking to improve my signal strength and reliability. I notice on amazon the Yeacomm only has 3.8 stars of satisfaction. Do you know of any other better outdoor gateways?
The TMHI SIM is locked to their device and I am not sure why. Why would they care if I continue paying for their service using different hardware? That part is unclear to me. I imagine it will require ASN and IMEI values be input. I plan on seeing if I can get this device to accept that SIM and will let you know if I am successful.
@@PeterC408 I have the business internet plan, uses the same devices but I did the BYOD. My sim isn’t locked to any one device. It just won’t work in 4G LTE only devices for some reason. Cudy makes a watered down type device to this, PoE. 100mbps max speed. My location doesn’t qualify for the 5G home internet plan but since I’m a business I was able to get it. I bought my own TMHI router off FB marketplace because I didn’t want to be locked in a contract. Im not spending $300 on an antenna kit. The PoE solution is perfect because I need to have it outside for the best signal.
@@PeterC408 I talked to T Mobile some months ago and the service rep told me it’s possible to bring your own module/ router. I just need to provide my unit details when I’m ready to activate the 5G service. I’ve been struggling to get 5G inside my home. I’d like to test this unit with my Visible Sim card as they have unlimited hotspot data.. First I’ll try the TMHI modem outside to see if that improves my results.. As always, thanks for the content.. ❤
Visible is a strange service. From what I understand you need to run an Application your qualifying IoS or Android device. This is to make sure that it is indeed a phone. Some viewers have reported pulling the SIM every month and "reauthorizing" with Visible but that seem like more problems than it is worth. Be warry of the term, "Unlimited", it means nothing anymore. On my phone, I had a 2GB Unlimited plan but then upgraded to 5GB Unlimited. Why the data limit if it is unlimited? You get full speed 4G/5G speed until you hit the number, then it drops down to 3G speeds.... still technically unlimited, just unusable too. They only way to get truly unlimited is to go to the providers T-Mobile or Verizon.
@@PeterC408 Thanks for the heads up! That why I call you the 5G, OG.. I’ve only done short term test with my Visible sim (a few days) on a 4G WE826-T2, seemed to work fine once I set the TTL config using ROOter firmware…. But anyway, looking forward to getting another TMHI 5G modem to test outside.. Awesome content… Ty
@@PeterC408 I meant is the firmware based on OpenWRT (open source) where it would be possible to add 3rd party packages. TailScale or ZeroTier are point to point VPN tunnels that can traverse NAT with ease, making it so I can have access to my network from anywhere
It has two features that I want to investigate more: static IP and bridging mode. I want to see if I can get a static IP to port forward. I might need to use the bridging mode to do this but if I can finally all that upstream data would be usable.
Hopefully T-Mobile will add n77 soon since some structures can destroy 2.4 performance but at the same time have no effect on 3.7. The reverse is also true since some warehouse stores destroys Verizon performance almost completely and yet 2.4 will give you insane speed and 0 packet loss. If I did get T-Mobile after they pop their 3.7 and 3.45 up I would have to get a gateway with band select and choose 3.7 and 3.45 and see how well both bands work since n71 is too horrible in my experience on the network pass.
Thank you very much for this video. I am just using T mobile internet for just a week and few days now. I am considering getting this unit because I was considering getting the wave-form antennae as I was hoping that I worm have got the new white gateway from T-Mobile that has the 4 external port to connect up an external antenna. but sadly they said me one of their older unit and I do not what to go into them to modified it. As for this Yeacomm 5G out dor gateway. is it plug and play (where I just take out the sim from the T-Mobile unit and put it it the Yeacomm and it config it to work)? or does it involve manually configuring it?
@@PeterC408 OK! Thank you for the information, I think I will buy one, once I see one a reasonable discount prize. What is APN; what it mean and how to I find or get it? I try to find more reviews on this Gateways, but your is the only one I find that have a review on it. The other videos I see are from the maker of the unit.
Hey! I got an answer back: The NR610 is using Fibocom FG360-NA module which is based on MTK T750 chipset. The NR610-Q is using Quectel RM520N-GL module which is based on Qualcomm X62 Chipset. Hope that helps. I just got new firmware for the NR610 and will be checking for improvements in IPV6 and 5GSA support. Check out my roundup where this product did pretty well when you consider its competition. ruclips.net/video/BMgU5nzO4F4/видео.html
Peter, Is this going to solve my "high congestion" problem? Watching the installation video I noticed that they didn't hook up power.??? So, you hook up a cat6 cable to this and run it into the house to your router? Do you have to connect a usb C cable to this as well?
No, if you have high congestion your priority does not change but perhaps you can add non standard bands like n66, n25, n48 and get on a less conjested frequency... really you're competing with phones.
Yes, and no... You need to change your IMEI to match your gateway, you need to change the APN (network) to match the home network (fbb.home) and I also changed my gateway to match the TMobile gateway (192.168.12.1). After doing all that, it works just fine.
@@PeterC408I'm glad I read this. I commented on your other video. You put out great info bro. Anyways I just found out i get a stronger Verizon signal at 3 to 4 bars compared to the 1 to 2 from T-mobile where i live. I was just curious if this will work with Verizon home internet as I'm thinking about changing over due to better signal.
I think this is the solution I've been looking for. Can this plug straight into my DECO mesh or do i have to purchase an additional router to go between the yeacomm and the DECO mesh?
Hi Bill, thank you for the support. I really like this one for you because using the Power Over Ethernet you can really run this solution further (higher) than you could with an antenna. With an antenna your looking at 30-50ft and the cable is expensive. This allows you to put the radio outside, up high and even over to a clearing if at all possible.
@@PeterC408 holy smokes. I just got it going today. Went from 3 to 6 mbs down and 1 mbs up to 90mbs down and 6mbs up. I have never had internet this fast.
I did. Did you get the mounting brackets brackets and the PoE adapter and power supply? The price shot right back up after price day, so good thing you grabbed one. I am using mine right now.
@@PeterC408 Yes everything was there except no manual. It was quite disappoining. I put my t-mobile sim card in and got a whopping 6 Mbs down. That's about what I was getting from the hotspot.
They are a reseller of Wireless Service. They have a Blue plan and a Pink plan. It's AT&T and T-Mobile. I have heard that their support was hard to get a hold of during the pandemic, but that was true for many companies. This recommendation would be getting a card without their hardware. Would that solve your objection or is there a deeper issue? IMEI changes are not on the standard firmware but I suspect there is a way to do it. I will take a closer look.

Hey Peter. So I can simply plug the sim card from my Arcadean tmobile router on this and give it a shot outdoors. In other words can it replace the tmobile tower itself?
@@PeterC408 but it is configurable in the interface right? I have the tmobile tower in my rv in a remote area. It works decent but latency at times is an issue. All I have is 5G NR. I tried to use a weBoost cell booster but that does not seem to do much. So I am down between hooking a waveform 4x4 antenna to the tomobile tower or replacing the tower with this router by setting it up outside in the rv patio deck. The area to cover here is not large. Like 40x60. Given the choices what are your thoughts?
Both. During this test, I was using a HotSpot card that I have activated and kept as failover and travel service but have since plugged in my TMHI card (locked to the T-Mobile gateway) and was able to make it work in this unit!! I sent out an announcement to channel subscribers and plan on doing a video on that later today.
@@PeterC408 T-Mobile Home Internet Card how can you get that when they say they do not offer Home Internet in my area, but the pole around the corner has N41 and N71
I know when you use 5 GHz wifi you will increase your speed big-time but 2.4GHz you get up to 300 download The downside about this product there no build in 5GHz wifi
It is best to think of this unit as an outdoor modem. The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi will be emanating from outdoors so it is not to cover you home or office, but just for simple setup and maintenance. I actually use mine as an outdoor network, totally separate from my home network. This way when I am in the backyard, I am still on the internet. You are right that 5GHz is faster than 2.4GHz but did you know that this is not always true? 2.4GHz travels farther and doesn't degrade as quickly with distance. My daughter's room used to be at the edge of our WiFi coverage and she got better speeds with 2.4GHz. It makes sense. Now we have a Orbi Mesh router and I get 300Mbps in the furthest bathroom with the door closed. Thanks for your response.
This unit looks good. I have been using the MOFI4500 for years with my Tmobile additional line SIM card. Can I use this card with this unit without getting a card for a hotspot with its its higher fee? I actually have two free lines from Tmobile and both are used for free home internet for years. I would like to continue with these, but at higher speeds. I have Tmobile site about 1 mile away from my house line of site. Thanks
I have used the 4500 also. This unit works perfectly with my free TMobile line. Had to mess with some of settings. Average 250 to 450 download speed! Tower is about a mile away. Also take it camping when traveling. The low band WiFi is poor. Use a separate WiFi router in camper and home.
It is working perfectly! I’m averaging 120 to 500 mb download speed an have been using over hundreds of GB per month. 650 Gb Jan 24 month! This with a free TMobile cell phone SIM card.

Africa's a huge continent filled with many different countries. Any one in particular?
🎉 Great video!🎉 This product sounds fantastic my only question is at - 22° Celsius operating range, how is that going to work in States like Maine when we may be at - 30 or 35? How serious do you think that would actually drop the usability and also would that be any issue with the capacitors at that temperature?
Great question. You can post a question on the Amazon page and either a team member or customer can chime in with the answer. I am interested to know. That is indeed pretty darn cold. I can't even imagine how cold that must be. As a general rule if I can see my breath, I stay home. 😬
Thinking about this again... If it really gets that cold, I would think of running antennas outside and keeping the "guts" inside where it is warmer. I really like the Proxicast antenna. It just works. ruclips.net/video/wXSpbP8NuWw/видео.html
Has anybody had issues with TM/Metro refusing to authorize this type of device? I tried a similar product and according to the tech rep from TM/Metro asvised that my device would never be authorized.
Seems odd, but hey i understand they don't want harmful interference.
Harmful interference from where? Imagine buying a phone from a source that was not Samsung or Apple. If it puts out the same frequencies, the network sees it is the same thing. Their network only needs to know the APN and IMEI.
@@PeterC408 Exactly my theory, especially considering the lawsuit involving Verizon and our ability to swap our sim into any device.
To give a little bit more clarification of the issue, when I spoke to the representative I had very little faith that they had any knowledge of the issue.
They told me that because it wasn't an approved and authorized device that it's IMEI is automatically going to be rejected. And of course when I mentioned that Federal lawsuit involving Verizon gave us the right to swap our Sim to a compatible working device, they suddenly didn't want to speak to me about the matter because I had said "lawsuit".
It was a very unproductive waste of an hour and eighteen minutes. That's why I'm currently in the search for individuals like yourself that have the knowledge and experience which is hugely appreciated.
The only thing that I can conclude about my experience was that they didn't have the answer, and simply just put bits and pieces together to make me go away 🤷🏻
On the business side, they even advertise BYOD (bring your own device) although their reps' knowledge of the program is lacking.
Peter,thank you for the great video.Do you have a discount code for your viewers?
I'm new to TMobile internet just got the gateway last week! It's working fairly well but would like to improve it if i can. My question is do i just pull the SIM card out and place it in this outdoor unit and then plug Ethernet cable into a regular router inside and im up and running?
No but you can get it to work!!! Check this video ruclips.net/video/MWqcj_P-JG0/видео.html
Hi Peter, my simm card will not go in either side of the simm slot. It will not fit. I have t-mobile service. Anyone else have this problem?
Did you flip it around? There is a small graphic that shows the proper orientation. They system boots up slightly faster if you use Slot1. Personally, i have been successful using both slots.
Any Luck!?
@PeterC408 I tried 6 ways to Sunday and it will not go in either side. Is it possible the sim card is a different size? I'm going to t-mobile tomorrow. Please look at the pic of the slot
I'm a newby at Home Internet Cell Service. I do have T-Mobile Service and I'm using the G4AR gateway. My goal is to increase my signal strength and reliability. If I were to purchase the Yeacomm gateway can I simply remove the sim card from the G4AR and install it in the Yeacomm without any issues?
@7250dk There is no "simply" with radio products. The Yeacomm can be configured to accept that card but there are steps involved. Take a look at this video ruclips.net/video/SqJ5e8w8iio/видео.html My new favorite Elsys product is there. It is an antenna and a modem in one so its a good deal at $699 Watch the video. This radio with the same card was 120Mbps faster than the NR610 both on Download and Upload speeds and it comes with access to a really good reseller who can get it working for you.
@@PeterC408 Thank you Peter. I appreciate the information.
Pete, have your tried the Zyxel 5G NR/NSA outdoor router? BrightSpeed/CenturyLink (ATT NVMO) uses Zyxel products.
Do you know if the IMEI value can be set with this modem? You can only make the SIM migration on ones that you can access and re-set the IMEI value.
I don't have those technical specs. Wish I culd answer this. Zyxel appears to be a European corporation who sells some of their equipment to US ISPs.@@PeterC408
Could I use the SIM from my T Mobile 5g Home Internet Gateway? Thank you in advance.
It depends on where you live. Some countries consider adjusting IMEI setting as a sensitive area. Yeacomm will probably ask you before sharing that information. You need to change the IMEI, the APN and the Gateway settings and then poof, it works. Note: We still have to pay for T-Mobile service, we are just using a different gateway..
Is there. Difference between the nr610 and the -q x62 version? Can’t seem to find a reliable answer anywhere online
This is from their Support Group, "The NR610 is using Fibocom FG360-NA module which is based on MTK T750 chipset. The NR610-Q is using Quectel RM520N-GL module which is based on Qualcomm X62 Chipset".
What sim card are you using in this video? I have a tmobile hotspot sim card, need something that will work with this. Thanks
I am using a T-Mobile Hotspot card in this video but after looking at the Band support, this unit would work with AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. I got it to work with the T-Mobile Home Internet even!
Were you able to get a static ip with this unit?
If you watch closely (super closely), I login as "superadmin", and pswd is same. Then imei is visible
I got new firmware yesterday. Fixes lots of things
Considering the cost of other units that require outdoor antennas, this is not bad.
330 feet (over the length of a football field) gives you the freedom to get the radio and antennas in the right spot. Running antennas any distance is not only met with signal loss but a huge cost as well. Lots of buildings have roof and this would allow you to run a good signal down to the basement. It really is a neat solution. Thanks.
@@PeterC408 How well does this perform compared to the InvisaGig router that you're currently testing?
Do you still like this gateway? If I can sell some stuff I'm thinking about getting one. I need a remote gateway about 200 feet away near the top of a hill behind my house. I've been picking up the wrong tower 7 miles away for years and it's gone to shet. Instead of complaining, I'd rather be on the tower I'm supposed to be on, 2.5 miles away.
Yes, I'm doing a video about a new feature I just found on it.
@@PeterC408 I just noticed that RUclips had unsubscribed me from your channel.
That's strange. Yes, YT has been acting crazy. Here is my latest video ruclips.net/video/1KHCjxmIBac/видео.html but I have a new gateway coming that should be FANTASTIC for XR band reception. Can't wait to try it. Welcome back.
where do i get the t-mobile sim card
T-Mobile? T-Mobile home internet is one of the best deals going but the hardware lacks pro features. This one allows me to set the right settings to make that card work in the unit.
@@PeterC408 Thanks Peter. I'm new at this so I guess I really don't know how or what to ask. I have just obtained T-Mobile 5G home internet service with the G$AR gateway. Can I simply remove the sim card from the t-mobile gateway and put it in the Yeacomm gateway without any issues. I'm just looking to improve my signal strength and reliability. I notice on amazon the Yeacomm only has 3.8 stars of satisfaction. Do you know of any other better outdoor gateways?
Will it work with the T-Mobile home/business internet sim? Not a hotspot sim.
The TMHI SIM is locked to their device and I am not sure why. Why would they care if I continue paying for their service using different hardware? That part is unclear to me. I imagine it will require ASN and IMEI values be input. I plan on seeing if I can get this device to accept that SIM and will let you know if I am successful.
@@PeterC408 I have the business internet plan, uses the same devices but I did the BYOD. My sim isn’t locked to any one device. It just won’t work in 4G LTE only devices for some reason. Cudy makes a watered down type device to this, PoE. 100mbps max speed. My location doesn’t qualify for the 5G home internet plan but since I’m a business I was able to get it. I bought my own TMHI router off FB marketplace because I didn’t want to be locked in a contract. Im not spending $300 on an antenna kit. The PoE solution is perfect because I need to have it outside for the best signal.
@@PeterC408 I talked to T Mobile some months ago and the service rep told me it’s possible to bring your own module/ router. I just need to provide my unit details when I’m ready to activate the 5G service. I’ve been struggling to get 5G inside my home. I’d like to test this unit with my Visible Sim card as they have unlimited hotspot data.. First I’ll try the TMHI modem outside to see if that improves my results.. As always, thanks for the content.. ❤
Visible is a strange service. From what I understand you need to run an Application your qualifying IoS or Android device. This is to make sure that it is indeed a phone. Some viewers have reported pulling the SIM every month and "reauthorizing" with Visible but that seem like more problems than it is worth. Be warry of the term, "Unlimited", it means nothing anymore. On my phone, I had a 2GB Unlimited plan but then upgraded to 5GB Unlimited. Why the data limit if it is unlimited? You get full speed 4G/5G speed until you hit the number, then it drops down to 3G speeds.... still technically unlimited, just unusable too. They only way to get truly unlimited is to go to the providers T-Mobile or Verizon.
@@PeterC408 Thanks for the heads up! That why I call you the 5G, OG.. I’ve only done short term test with my Visible sim (a few days) on a 4G WE826-T2, seemed to work fine once I set the TTL config using ROOter firmware…. But anyway, looking forward to getting another TMHI 5G modem to test outside.. Awesome content… Ty
Is the firmware locked? Does it have TailScale or ZeroTier support (traverse NAT/CGNAT)?
There is a password to access the device but I would not call it a "lock". See comment from @iC4e
@@PeterC408 I meant is the firmware based on OpenWRT (open source) where it would be possible to add 3rd party packages. TailScale or ZeroTier are point to point VPN tunnels that can traverse NAT with ease, making it so I can have access to my network from anywhere
Hi. Does this do port forwarding for the T-mobile network?
It has two features that I want to investigate more: static IP and bridging mode. I want to see if I can get a static IP to port forward. I might need to use the bridging mode to do this but if I can finally all that upstream data would be usable.
Hopefully T-Mobile will add n77 soon since some structures can destroy 2.4 performance but at the same time have no effect on 3.7. The reverse is also true since some warehouse stores destroys Verizon performance almost completely and yet 2.4 will give you insane speed and 0 packet loss. If I did get T-Mobile after they pop their 3.7 and 3.45 up I would have to get a gateway with band select and choose 3.7 and 3.45 and see how well both bands work since n71 is too horrible in my experience on the network pass.
This gateway is all ready for n77
@@PeterC408 Good
Thank you very much for this video. I am just using T mobile internet for just a week and few days now. I am considering getting this unit because I was considering getting the wave-form antennae as I was hoping that I worm have got the new white gateway from T-Mobile that has the 4 external port to connect up an external antenna. but sadly they said me one of their older unit and I do not what to go into them to modified it. As for this Yeacomm 5G out dor gateway. is it plug and play (where I just take out the sim from the T-Mobile unit and put it it the Yeacomm and it config it to work)? or does it involve manually configuring it?
You need to configure your IMEI to match your TMHI gateway and set the APN to match the APN used by the home networking products.
@@PeterC408 OK! Thank you for the information, I think I will buy one, once I see one a reasonable discount prize. What is APN; what it mean and how to I find or get it?
I try to find more reviews on this Gateways, but your is the only one I find that have a review on it. The other videos I see are from the maker of the unit.
Do we know which modem the NR610 uses? How about NR610Q?
I wrote to them and will find out the differences.
Hey! I got an answer back: The NR610 is using Fibocom FG360-NA module which is based on MTK T750 chipset. The NR610-Q is using Quectel RM520N-GL module which is based on Qualcomm X62 Chipset. Hope that helps. I just got new firmware for the NR610 and will be checking for improvements in IPV6 and 5GSA support. Check out my roundup where this product did pretty well when you consider its competition. ruclips.net/video/BMgU5nzO4F4/видео.html
Peter, Is this going to solve my "high congestion" problem? Watching the installation video I noticed that they didn't hook up power.??? So, you hook up a cat6 cable to this and run it into the house to your router? Do you have to connect a usb C cable to this as well?
Just a Cat5, power is completely over Ethernet. It comes with the adapter, so just plug and play.
Sorry, I see how you got the power.....Still need "high congestion" problem fixed
No, if you have high congestion your priority does not change but perhaps you can add non standard bands like n66, n25, n48 and get on a less conjested frequency... really you're competing with phones.
Hey, Peter! Is this a simple plug-and-play? You just pull your SIM card out of the T-mobile gateway and install it in the Yeacomm gateway?
Yes, and no... You need to change your IMEI to match your gateway, you need to change the APN (network) to match the home network (fbb.home) and I also changed my gateway to match the TMobile gateway (192.168.12.1). After doing all that, it works just fine.
@@PeterC408I'm glad I read this. I commented on your other video. You put out great info bro. Anyways I just found out i get a stronger Verizon signal at 3 to 4 bars compared to the 1 to 2 from T-mobile where i live. I was just curious if this will work with Verizon home internet as I'm thinking about changing over due to better signal.
@@jeffreycaron6985 Yes, this radio is very well specked. It should cover Verizon Perfectly
How did you change the IP on the gateway.
See comment from ic4e
I think this is the solution I've been looking for. Can this plug straight into my DECO mesh or do i have to purchase an additional router to go between the yeacomm and the DECO mesh?
Yes, you can use it as a modem only and the plug it into your mesh router
Hi Bill, thank you for the support. I really like this one for you because using the Power Over Ethernet you can really run this solution further (higher) than you could with an antenna. With an antenna your looking at 30-50ft and the cable is expensive. This allows you to put the radio outside, up high and even over to a clearing if at all possible.
@@PeterC408 holy smokes. I just got it going today. Went from 3 to 6 mbs down and 1 mbs up to 90mbs down and 6mbs up. I have never had internet this fast.
Peter, did you find a manual anywhere? I didn't get one with my unit.
I did. Did you get the mounting brackets brackets and the PoE adapter and power supply? The price shot right back up after price day, so good thing you grabbed one. I am using mine right now.
@@PeterC408 Yes everything was there except no manual. It was quite disappoining. I put my t-mobile sim card in and got a whopping 6 Mbs down. That's about what I was getting from the hotspot.
Don't recommend Nomad. They are bad. I assume you can't clone the IMEA to use the t mobile Sim from the internet box.
They are a reseller of Wireless Service. They have a Blue plan and a Pink plan. It's AT&T and T-Mobile. I have heard that their support was hard to get a hold of during the pandemic, but that was true for many companies. This recommendation would be getting a card without their hardware. Would that solve your objection or is there a deeper issue? IMEI changes are not on the standard firmware but I suspect there is a way to do it. I will take a closer look.
@@PeterC408 every other RUclips channel that was promoting Nomad has dropped them for bad business practices.
@@PeterC408 Nomad is an awful company. Take a look at what they did to all of the RV channels that were promoting them.
What did they do?
Can you set the IEMI?
This video might answer your question at the 1 minute mark ruclips.net/video/C1o5Np74RdI/видео.htmlsi=WJ3bGy3UCDHyrIDo
Can you use a T-Mobile cell SIM?
You mean just a cellphone SIM? I don't see why not, but it may see this device as a Hotspot if you are trying to get unlimited data. 😉
@@PeterC408 ok so that wouldn't work for unlimited Internet. Thanks.
@ajsolik10 TMOBILE does offer unlimited internet for $40/mo and that can work in here.

@@PeterC408 Thanks for the info. I'll try that.
Hey Peter. So I can simply plug the sim card from my Arcadean tmobile router on this and give it a shot outdoors. In other words can it replace the tmobile tower itself?
@user-nv3hx9ts9d yes and no. Yes you can do it but you need to do a few extra steps (IMEI and APN need to match).
@@PeterC408 but it is configurable in the interface right? I have the tmobile tower in my rv in a remote area. It works decent but latency at times is an issue. All I have is 5G NR. I tried to use a weBoost cell booster but that does not seem to do much. So I am down between hooking a waveform 4x4 antenna to the tomobile tower or replacing the tower with this router by setting it up outside in the rv patio deck. The area to cover here is not large. Like 40x60. Given the choices what are your thoughts?
What T-moble Sim card do you use?
Both. During this test, I was using a HotSpot card that I have activated and kept as failover and travel service but have since plugged in my TMHI card (locked to the T-Mobile gateway) and was able to make it work in this unit!! I sent out an announcement to channel subscribers and plan on doing a video on that later today.
@@PeterC408 Thanks Peter what if you can't get TM Home Internet in your area what sim would work?

@@PeterC408 T-Mobile Home Internet Card how can you get that when they say they do not offer Home Internet in my area, but the pole around the corner has N41 and N71
Originally, I tried it out with just a T-Mobile HotSpot card that I keep activated for testing.
I know when you use 5 GHz wifi you will increase your speed big-time but 2.4GHz you get up to 300 download The downside about this product there no build in 5GHz wifi
It is best to think of this unit as an outdoor modem. The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi will be emanating from outdoors so it is not to cover you home or office, but just for simple setup and maintenance. I actually use mine as an outdoor network, totally separate from my home network. This way when I am in the backyard, I am still on the internet. You are right that 5GHz is faster than 2.4GHz but did you know that this is not always true? 2.4GHz travels farther and doesn't degrade as quickly with distance. My daughter's room used to be at the edge of our WiFi coverage and she got better speeds with 2.4GHz. It makes sense. Now we have a Orbi Mesh router and I get 300Mbps in the furthest bathroom with the door closed. Thanks for your response.
This unit looks good. I have been using the MOFI4500 for years with my Tmobile additional line SIM card. Can I use this card with this unit without getting a card for a hotspot with its its higher fee? I actually have two free lines from Tmobile and both are used for free home internet for years. I would like to continue with these, but at higher speeds. I have Tmobile site about 1 mile away from my house line of site. Thanks
If it works in the Mofi 4500, it should work in this one.
I have used the 4500 also. This unit works perfectly with my free TMobile line. Had to mess with some of settings. Average 250 to 450 download speed! Tower is about a mile away. Also take it camping when traveling. The low band WiFi is poor. Use a separate WiFi router in camper and home.
It is working perfectly! I’m averaging 120 to 500 mb download speed an have been using over hundreds of GB per month. 650 Gb Jan 24 month!
This with a free TMobile cell phone SIM card.
