Joel - I love my new Puli AX (XE3000). This is my first cellular router, and I’m really impressed of the quality and capability. Currently, I’m running and AT&T tablet SIM card in an area not well covered by AT&T, without an external antenna, and the speed results are impressive for a low signal 5G NSA connection (100 to 200 Mbps downloads and 15 to 75 Mbps uploads). The battery life is about 9 hours, which is amazing in itself. The tablet plan I have costs me about $15 a month after some rebates I get as a veteran. My plan moving forward is to put a T-Mobile cellphone SIM card in to have it as a secondary ISP when traveling within the US and its territories. Now the question is, do I need to revert back from a tablet IMEI to a cellphone one to use a cellphone SIM card?
That's fantastic!! Great numbers all around. And that's a great question... I genuinely don't know, I'd have to test it. I'm not sure if you can set an IMEI for a specific SIM card or profile. I haven't seen anything during a quick search, so it might be something to play around with, for sure. If they don't apply per profile, then definitely a copy/paste IMEI command sort of situation there.
@@CozyLivingMachine The reason I mentioned the IMEI number (and/or potential changes) is because I used an old AT&T 4G tablet I owned to add a new tablet SIM card to my plan. I inserted the SIM card to the router and all was good until it wasn’t. Somehow, AT&T realized a few hours after inserting the SIM card into the router that I was using the SIM card on a device with a different IMEI (beginners mistake on my behalf, as I forgot to update the router with the old tablet’s IMEI). I fixed the mistake, called AT&T and troubleshoot the issue with the SIM card not being able to access the network with “my tablet” (the router), and finally got access to the network. Then I realized that because the tablet I used was an 4G LTE tablet, the only access to the network I was granted was through the 4G LET bands, blocking 5G access. So, I used an “old work 5G tablet” to swap devices in my family AT&T plan through customer service, and viola, I got 5G access to this date. That’s. Why I asked the question before I throw in there a T-Mobile cellphone SIM, because I don’t want to block the cellphone SIM card if there’s a potential for T-Mobile to detect that I’m running the SIM card through a device with a tablet IMEI.
@@RamblinRoadies either router is worth the investment. I guess that my concern will be down the road when that battery fails. I guess that at that point my Puli AX router will turn into a heavier Spitz ;-)
Thanks so much this is great. To get set up, do I just get that spitz and a phone to run the hotspot off of? Just making sure I have all the things needed to set it up right. Thank you!
Hello, thank you for the informative video. This question might be obvious, but I was wondering since this router uses a SIM card through a carrier I'd think it would have a phone number associated with it. So is it possible to connect a landline to it to be able to also make and receive phone calls as well as the Wi-Fi ability?
Sounds like you have a pretty good plan going. We're on Google Fi, which uses T-Mobile networks (and maybe some others?). We get free data SIM cards that are tied to each of our four lines, so whenever we get close to the 50GB data limit for that line I just swap to another SIM. I've been using our roof mounted Winegard or whatever it is setup, but it's only 4G. I think I'm going to grab one of these, would make everything easier and give us 5G access. Thanks for the video!
That's a good deal, just swap them out as you go! 😂 our Winegard was a pain in the ass to try to set up and they wouldn't give me access to the software, even though it's running OpenWRT as well, so I've never said a positive thing since. 🤣 One of these would definitely be nice to have, especially since you'd be able to pop two SIMs in and switch them with the press of a button, pretty dang easy!
I hope you answer questions. I’m moving into an apt. I have a Roku, phone (AT&T) , computer and a kindle. The quote for Cox WiFi was unbelievable., cheap end $85 plus modem. And of course they tried to get me to go for the $185 version. If I go for the tablet SIM card do I have to add unlimited data to my phone plan? Because that might end up adding $85 to my phone plan
Woof! Don't go for a tablet SIM card, it will not work. Just add a regular phone line and try that out instead. If for some reason it costs $85+ to add a single phone line to your plan I would switch carriers because that's wild. A single line with a company like T-Mobile is $50 or so, Mint Mobile is even less than that!
@@CozyLivingMachine I only have a 4 gig plan so I’m thinking I have to up my gigs and with the added phone SIM card I’m concerned it will add up fast. I have AT&T my base for that is just under $60. I’ll check with them and Verizon. The people I know with T-mobil have issues with coverage in my area.
@@CozyLivingMachine Is there a chance you'd do a video specifically on Mint Mobile & Router ? That seems like it would be the cheapest way for any new user that doesn't have an existing phone plan. Like kids going to college not living in dorms, or new off grid folks.
Our lake property and the spot our camper spends a lot of the summer was in a cell phone reception desert. But the great news is a T-Mobile Tower is going up about a mile away. This router looks like a great candidate. Did your 4G version work well with your wifi cameras? We've had theft issues around our camp site and I primarily will use it to run some cameras and our wifi tstat. I have ATT which I plan to keep but it looks like I can use Mint mobile for pretty cheap and they utilize Tmobile
Hello, thank you for this video, you engage me to get this, now I receive the device and I I’m having trouble setting this up with metro by t-mobile. It keeps getting me error SIM card not registering and was hoping you can help. Thank you
@@CozyLivingMachine We’ve used campground WiFi with some success and our cell phone hotspot but never seems to work real well. Since we’re part time I’d like to see if there’s a pay as you go type option instead of a monthly fee 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe check out one of the prepaid options too. I've not used them, but Mint Mobile or the like might be a good option! You might be able to add a line and suspend it when you're not using it as well.
In my experience you have to use a regular cell phone SIM card. The reason is that the device will identify as a phone to the carrier. If a cell phone tries to use a data only SIM card like an ipad, it automatically fails like it would here. However, there's always a workaround for anything. It may be be worth trying your sim card in a regular phone first to see if it would work.
Love these videos! Got the x750 and it's working great! Question, though- would you mind researching AT&T's TTL? I've searched and searched and can't find anything concrete (but 64 seems most likely). But either way, thank you so much!
I use my phone for a hot spot to my tv and Apple TV, both are useless after I reach the data limit, I have unlimited data, however my phone is not affected, only the connected device is cut off/useless
Hi @CozyLivingMachine Really impressed by your demo & details of this product and ordered a Puli AX. Thank you. I am just curious, is there a way to find the TTL value for the Word wide 'Cellphone Carriers Providers', It would be really nice for me as a traveler I can use it the country I am visit to . Thanks again.
Hey man I got a an x750 for my main home internet without doing enough research. Once it’s throttled, which happens almost instantly with only 30g or so of “unlimited” it becomes completely unusable. I’m really debating whether I should just pay $50 a month for fiber or get a 5g router and hopefully still be way faster than the 750 even when it gets throttled after a few days. While still being cheaper then fiber
Do you know if changing the TTL setting makes a difference in weather it uses the Cell data vs the HotSpot data? I would be great to be able to use one or the other when one is exhausted
@@CozyLivingMachine I was just changing my TTL settings and monitoring my data usage reported by the carrier (Mint Mobile) looks like 64 makes it use Cell Data, if I leave blank it uses Hotspot data.
Can you use this as a regular modem? The sim cards was not working out for me throttled speeds after 35gb down to 1mbps unusable I give up on the sim card internet.
"Umm. . . . . ., What did the the Prof say"? "When"? "The last 12 minutes". Wealth of information there Joel and obviously your approach is effective, adaptable and affordable. Gives those of us in the complete dark on the technology a head's up.
We've been in LTE only areas and it works just as well, it does have all of the same LTE bands as our previous non-5G router did. We have had good luck so far on that front!
Absolutely. The trick is to use a VPN to hide your network activity so they can't distinguish RUclips/Netflix traffic from anything else. I use ProtonVPN for $10/mo as well, works excellent and great privacy reports also.
I wonder how this would work if you used a Prepaid 4G LTE Cellular SIM Card - No Contract Wireless - USA Compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile Networks that is data only, not voice or text.
Isn't it just a great little device? It's simple and very cost effective. Our little X750 was fantastic for us and it'd still be in use today if not for my curiosity! I'm glad that's still going strong for you guys!
@@TimFranz im interested to know as well, can i buy and unlimited plan from mint and use that for internet on the router? would there be any draw backs?
After I send the AT command on the Modem Management page to change the IMEI should the new IMEI display on the Cellular page of the Internet screen? Mine still show the original IMEI. Also I was surprised that I had to be connected to internet to sent the AT command? I thought I was just changing it internally on the modem
Most travel routers are a router only, connecting an internet connection to create a wireless network. This has a cellular modem, like a phone, and then uses that connection to create a wireless network.
@@CozyLivingMachine Would you recommend Visible? I hear they've been able to spot whose been using routers, but it seems like the router you recommended may be the workaround. If so I'll definitely buy
I have an unlimited calls, data and text via a T-Mobile line in the USA but international only free texts and unlimited data. Do you think any of these routers will work international, like in Europe for example?
Just ordered mine. I live in a very weird place where we only get HORRIBLE sattelite internet. If this works, this will be a GAME CHANGER. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video Joel. Thank you.
@@CozyLivingMachine just to give you an update... The router got here today and, like I said, this thing is a GAME CHANGER. I copied your settings for TMobile, inserted my SIM card, and now I'm getting 300-400 down and 50-80 up consistently. With my previous ISP I only got around 15 down and 2 up. Thanks again for your video. I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this thing.
Let's see if I understand this correctly. On my T-Mobile account, I can add a line for $15,and T-Mobile will see this router as a phone? Currently I'm paying $55 for 100gb on a mifi device. Does the modem have the phone hotspot limits?
Exactly. The carrier treats these as any other regular cell phone. As long as you change the TTL setting, the data that you use is part of the regular phone unlimited data plan, not the hotspot data specifically. So where our account has 14GB of hotspot data on our lines, we would blow through that in a matter of hours, but we've been going for years now without limit issues and such!
@@CozyLivingMachine Wow. It would be a small investment upfront but would save me a little monthly. Thanks for sharing this. Oops, apparently, it's $50 to add a line for my plan. So the $5 saving would take forever to pay back the investment.
I’ve had this 6 months now and still have not figured out how to use an ATT sim. Everytime I put my sim in and change to the settings I see online is gives me a compatibility error and locks my at sim. Anyone have some insite?
This router has been terrible for me. I even added a waveform MIMO antenna, seem to be getting good signal, but speeds are awful. I mean like 15 Mbps down, and 2 up, lots of time. I can sometimes to get it 'unstuck' and it'll give me well over 100 Mbps down, but it takes lots of finagling. Another problem is virtually no carrier aggregation. It can do one NSA or SA 5G band with one LTE band, but won't always do that.
I am trying to replace cable internet in my home. Is this possible? Do I have to have a data plan or just an additional phone line OR the sim chip. I see I can buy a chip at Target for 10 I am guessing that would then equate to a phone line for 20/month. I don't actually have to purchase the phone correct?
We're reaching the end of the year, so lots of upcoming deals during Fall/Winter (Christmas Season). Right now there are so many $15 plans available. I'd act soon if i were you
It appears that the TTL should be 65 (possibly 66) for visible, and the IMEI shouldn't need to be changed for most instances unless you're having trouble. It does appear that the APN setting may need to be VZWINTERNET
@cozylivingmachine Will the device work if I remove my sim card where the imei is already linked to an iphone, and go into the GL.inet settings and change the ttl to 64?

They have chance the name T-Mobile in the Netherlands to ODIDO 🤣

Anyone know the IMEI and TTL number for Visible wireless?
It appears that the TTL should be 65 (possibly 66) for visible, and the IMEI shouldn't need to be changed for most instances unless you're having trouble. It does appear that the APN setting may need to be VZWINTERNET
@cozylivingmachine Will the device work if I remove my sim card where the imei is already linked to an iphone, and go into the GL.inet settings and change the ttl to 64?
