This no longer works, even with any ttl, you may notice a high speed for 10mins and then it will throttle speeds to 5mbp again. Visible looks at the IMEI now and sees it's a router. I have this setup, so trust me don't waste your money. Instead get an unlocked nighthawk m1 and use dc unlocker to change the IMEI to that of an iphone and visible will see it as an iphone
Does it still cap you at 480p streaming? I use ipvanish to get around that on my phone...just curious if you need a VPN on the device ur connecting to wifi with
Works fine. Using it right now in fact. You must change the IMEI number to that of a Visible compatible smart phone though and update the APN name. MOFI has Diagnostic Firmware you can download and flash to the device to accomplish this feat! See my other comment on the basics of how to perform this IMEI number change to a MOFI 4500.
What kind of speed do you get on your phone in the same spot? In other words, are the antennas on the Mofi stronger than on a phone or no? I only get like 13 Mbps at best in 1 exact spot in my house, can I expect an improvement in that?
So that will help me get rid of the one person Hotspot usage and how many people can be on the hotspot at the same time and people can use my Hotspot besides me
CouchPotato has a very detailed video on setting up the MOFI 4500 with a Visible sim card on RUclips already. Since Visible updated it's service about a year or so ago though it no longer works by his instructions, you now need to change the APN name to "vzwinternet" AND if you don't change the IMEI number to that of a Visible compatible smart phone then they will quickly cancel your account for using an unauthorized device with their service... which is bonkers, it's a *service* and I am required to buy and use my own device no matter what so I should be allowed to use the device of my choice then!
Visible doesn't throttle their "data" which is what Visible thinks it is when it goes through this particular device. Visible plans only allow standard def video streaming though :(
TTL setting is what bypass their hotspot cap. It will work for everyone but you have to research how to set up TTL setting. You can join a group on facebook called LTE hacks. You can learn a lot
What model MoFi is that??? Looked like you were running the laptop off the MoFi wifi??? If so you could get even better performance by turning wifi off on the MoFi and just running a cable to a separate good brand wifi router.
On the internal modem page under provider selection do you have it set for Verizon or Generic for Visible SIM card I can't get internet connected to the Mofi been working with it for 3 hours this morning
Have you had connection issues since? Like a lot of off and on with constant buffering? I have the same set up. It’s good for first few minutes then bumps out to where I have to turn it off and on or reset. Doesn’t last more than 10 minutes. Hopefully someone will kindly have some tips for me. Thanks for your time
You need good signal.....there will be tons of problems if you fluctuate between 0 and 3 bars. I just moved and live across from a school. I get 5 bars now......it works well. They do play games with this.....my sister was the next house over from me last place I lived. She got great signal from verizon. (same company as visible) My visible was terrible. I would guess you need stronger signal.
Has anyone made this work on PS4 or PS5? I never get more than 2.1 mbs down. And I use my consoles for watching RUclips and Netflix, but it buffers a lot.
No the nighthawk doesn’t have ttl settings if you put a visible sim in a nighthawk they’ll detect that your using a router mofi makes it to were they don’t see it as streaming data so it bypasses the hotspot data limit
You can do it if you use DC Unlocker to rewrite the IMEI as a different device, then the service provider can't see that it's a router. It costs money to do that but worth it imo.
@@kulak8548 I’ve tried that, but somehow they can see that I’m tethering the Netgear M1 to my router Asus AX11000. Still they Throttle me to hotspot speeds of 5mbps.

How are you getting high speeds? I have my Sim in a 7730l jetpack and I can't get over 5 mbps. My phone gets over 50 on visible so I know it has to be the cap
So pretty much all you have to do is set the settings like you have it now I just bought visible I've used it before good service never thought about using it as a internet service but I also just bought the Mofi 4500 off eBay $200 The Sims 7 so it will work with Verizon my question is How many devices can be used in what would be the fastest speed I can get cuz I don't know someone said you can get up to 400 megabytes I guess it depends on the antenna which later on if I deem that it is necessary I'll buy it but even right now most people for what you got on your speeds are not going to complain I mean unless they're doing something where it demands you know like 4K or 1080p constantly that's a different story which will be worth it if you have a couple people you just split the money and buy a better antenna to get it better but what is the most speed I can get out of that I got the best antenna. Let me know and also my last question is I'm getting a temporary number once I know that visible mobile will work as it should for me in my area then I could use my temporary number and turn it into the internet then I could Transfer my number My main one from my other carrier I definitely need a SIM card correct
400Mbps is in theory in a lab test setup, but I guarantee you will never get over 200Mbps unless it is like 3 am or nobody is on that phone tower, Visible in my area is always 25-50Mbps plenty for 4k netflix. LTE is generally 25-100Mbps

@@GabeBleacher to be honest with you I haven't used anything yeah because I bought it but so far I still have a plan with my company but I believe other people that have used the Mofi 4500 said you can go past five megabytes RUclips Mofi 4500 router with visible mobile and there are people that state it goes over 5 megabytes. Either way the reason to get the Mofi router in my opinion would be just to use it as an internet option instead of paying a regular local cable provider for internet because obviously the cheapest prices like 50 up to $100 depending on the speed and obviously for 25 bucks. You could get whole house internet I mean if you're buying it just to try to bypass the speed you should try getting a cheap portable router on Amazon for twenty bucks do a Amazon or do a RUclips video for portable router visible mobile and you'll be able to bypass having one person user account as well as should be able to bypass the speed let me know what you come up with. Now this is based off of everything I've researched and seen don't take it to heart please do research because at the end of the day I don't want to give false information but I believe it's possible based on what everybody else said and that's the reason I bought the Mofi router.

can you tell me what device is better and cheaper then the mofi4500
Ordered me a mofi sim4 4500 today can’t wait to try this, tired of the 5mbps cap I live in rural area and this is all I have
How did it go considering doing this
i also ordered a mofi waiting for it to come through
Any update?
I’m trying to bypass the 5mbps right now and it’s not working
Updates on this did it work?
You are a Genius and i love you

Wow amazing how long you had this
Any help on how to bypass the limit on PS4 and ps5 consoles? I can't watch RUclips or nextflix.
Watch his video here on RUclips John Barth tether home router to mofi4500 it works for me
What device would you recommend other than the mofi? I read your description on the video.
I suggest you make your own. Or order Starlink. www.ltefix.com
So that will help me get rid of the one person Hotspot usage and how many people can be on the hotspot at the same time and people can use my Hotspot besides me
Can u make a video of u setting everything up?

Does the MTU and MSS setting the thing that does this? I have all of the rest set the same like the TTL.
From my own experience TTL set to 66 had worked for me on a similar type device
When you set up the admin page dis you select Verizon or Generic as the carried
Generic
Is video streaming still throttled?
Visible doesn't throttle their "data" which is what Visible thinks it is when it goes through this particular device. Visible plans only allow standard def video streaming though :(
I've reset the MTU and MSS on mine, the 5 mbps cap is still in place.
Not a fix for everyone, apparently. Are you also using a VPN?
VPN won't help due to the topology of this throttle, it will bypass SD video limiting for 4k+ video though
TTL setting is what bypass their hotspot cap. It will work for everyone but you have to research how to set up TTL setting. You can join a group on facebook called LTE hacks. You can learn a lot
A VPN does indeed work. I get 5mbps without express vpn and with the vpn active I get around 25-30mbps
Has there been a update ? Not working !
Mine says it's connected without internet
Did you activate the SIMM inside a phone first?
Yes
What model MoFi is that??? Looked like you were running the laptop off the MoFi wifi??? If so you could get even better performance by turning wifi off on the MoFi and just running a cable to a separate good brand wifi router.
Yes probably. This is the SIM4 version.
On the internal modem page under provider selection do you have it set for Verizon or Generic for Visible SIM card
I can't get internet connected to the Mofi been working with it for 3 hours this morning
Visible is in the list on mine, but there is more to config than just setting that provider name.

I had to use TTL 64, when on 65 was only getting around 5 , on 64 i get around 25
Are you using visible too mine is like that and just getting 5 if not to change minds to 64 because I have on 65
How many devices can you run off the 4500 with theVisible?

Will not work with Netgear you need Mofi 4500 or a reliable router that is mentioned on RUclips to use with visible
It’ll work but you have to use a different method. You have to spoof the imei to a phone that works on visible.
Can you provide an update on how this has been working out? Are you still using visible for your primary internet needs?
I no longer use this to get data. I now have high speed internet.

That’s not the reason why it’s bypassed. The TTL is why. Those two just need to be set to make a standard phone plan sim work.
