Can't wait to see this!
Hi Nate. I just bought the Mikrotik Netmetal AC2 exterior access point. You do need a router if needing ethernet but it also allows a SIM card. I wasn't sure if that option is reliable enough yet seeing we work from home. So I plan on connecting my copper to it for now. Any ideas? Have you had any experience with the Mikrotiks?
Great videos. Thanks for the knowledge.
I'm not familiar with the Mikrotiks but I googled them. Looks like a 3G/4G USB capable device? Depends on your ISP offerings. 4G LTE would be limited to around 100Mbps in ideal cases from what I have seen. If you copper is reliable and fast enough for your needs then keep that. Maybe added cellular as a backup so you can keep working.
You said it had IP bypass but it's not on by defalt. What command can you do to got IP bypass? It's working with Verizon but not brige mode or IP bypass.
Nate, thanks for the video! Does it support IP Passthrough for static IP (tmobile business) and for dynamic IP (standard tmobile home plan)? I heard this modem (RM520N) only supports passthrough for static IPs?
If you dont have a static IP then you have a shared public IP. No modem can solve that.
Nate, Any thoughts on the new GL.iNet Spitz AX (GL-X3000)? Looks like some nice features with an affordable introductory price.
I haven't used them but they have the same RM520N-GL modem so has the potential for good speed. Its more expensive than the Chester Cheetah after the NaterTater discount and Cheetah has free expedited shipping. Chester will also pre-configure settings for free so it works with your SIM. Lots of options out there, I agree on paper it looks like it has potential. I just havent experienced it or seen their tech support.
It's $378 at Amazon now,but InvisaGig is $650@@NaterTater
Nate - I have the KVD21 and tried the 4x4 panel but that did not go well. I broke a connector on the last wire of the 4 on the Tmobile KVD21. Everything went back the way it was, except the broken wire on the Tmobile modem, and I returned the 4x4. The speeds are the same, so I'm not sure which band the wire was for. I'm looking for something that I don't need to do surgery on miniature or micro circuit boards. What do you suggest for the easiest and best options to use the Tmobile sim , and under $1k. Thank you.
Depends what you need it for, if you're just a home user and want better speed, band locking and some other cellular settings to help your connection then the Chester Cheetah seems to be the winner. $450 after code NaterTater
I have noticed all sorts of stuff going on with my local towers as well. SA will just drop for me, same with NSA, I was getting a stable 300mbps. Couple mornings it was stuck on LTE. I think we may be seeing T-mobile overselling the towers, since home internet is literally last in priority.
Could be but some of these odd drops are network issues or upgrades. Generally congestion just causes a slow down in download but can cause band/tower jumping in extreme cases.
@@NaterTater I have been seeing regular, nearly daily, that N41 had dropped for me. Since I'm still using the KVD21 my current options for recovery are limited. It usually either only connects to N71 for 5G or not at all for hours. This is a T-Mobile issue since a couple of my neighbors using the same tower are having the same issues with a variety of equipment. Getting through TMO customer support to TMO tech support has become increasingly difficult lately as well.
Does this have better Signal Quality or Speeds than the Chester Cheetah V2 or more or less Features? Also can you hookup a Waveform 4X4 External Antenna to this?
It similar to a Cheetah with x62 modem, Cheetah with x65 is faster. Some features are different, check with Chester as they sell both and can see which matches your needs better. 4x4 is easy to screw on to either.
@@NaterTater Ok will do thanks Nate!
Chester will pre-configure IMEI repair and TTL if needed before shipping, at no extra cost
thats a great service!
oh im sure LOL
That's literally illegal and you just snitched
Hi Nate, is the Invisagig sensitive to placement like the TMOB Sagemcom gateway?
Yes but less so. Macro changes are still important but small adjustments to orientation dont affect it as much.
@@NaterTater thx Nate. Does this still need to be by the window?
@thangdinh3809 that all depends on your specific location. Mine are not in front of a window but for some folks that helps the speed.
I dont really understand why this other one with less features but the same exact modem as the Chester is more expensive? It should be the other way around this isn’t Apple where you get to charge more for less features lol
Can you use a Mac M1 to at install the Certificate?
René
yes
I can't do it anymore nate! I'm pulling the plug next week for the tmobile gateway! 😢
No worries. Cellular 5G is still my best option by far.
Have you ever tested the Chester WAN connection ? I'm trying to get the cellular modem and my starlink to work with one modem. Not at the same time just need both of the services available so I can pick the one I want to use. So I don't have to carry around three routers when I got out for the weekend.
I havent but my understanding is it will default to the WAN ethernet ISP and then failover to cellular. I dont think it has an option for cellular as primary then WAN.
@@NaterTater Thank you for getting back, that's perfect that functionality is what I'm looking for.
Which is better for a Mac user, invisagig or Cheetah?
it should be indifferent to Mac/PC. The Cheetahs are cheaper and have built in wifi but the IG is smaller, more focused on being "just a modem" (sorta) and simple.
The cheetah router how hard would it be to work off the AT&T tower Would it be very complicated I wonder to configure it I just wondered because you keep talking about Verizon and T-Mobile it is possible right
I havent used AT&T but it should work just the same. Just need a good AT&T tower nearby to connect to. It should even auto set the APN.
@@NaterTater Thank you so much for the comeback on that I was looking at the Cuddy bigger router but I think this would be a better choice what size of Sim card does it take do you know
Nate, T-Mobile just announced 2 new modems with 9 antennas and new bands ! coming in Aug 28, so this might not even be needed anymore.
yes, exciting news! I'm not holding my breath, they've been very locked down to date from T-mobile. There's a slight hope that one will support external antennas but in the past T-mobile has only removed features that the "OE" version of hardware has.
One of them will have an external antenna capability, but it is supposedly only for business use.
I don't believe we will let you bandlock which helps many people on bad locations
Where are you guys seeing this info at??
@@Keyboardletters tmo.report/2023/06/t-mobile-has-two-new-home-internet-gateways-in-the-pipeline-heres-what-we-know/
lieutenant Dan! I just bought one of those.
🥸
@@NaterTater did you re-run the tests with the Invisagig ?
I did: ruclips.net/video/tDhxeUm3EqI/видео.html
Where do you type in TTL? Where it says 'Please enter your choice'?
please enter your choice is to pick a number from the above lines that corresponds with which next menu/setting you want to access. You'll need to reach out to Invisagig on TTL and IMEI change.
What carrier is it compatible with?
all in the US, not sure about other countries.
Since they both use the same modem, I'm thinking to ask Chester if either can be sold at a lower no-modem price, then user can swap the modem between them as needed
I'm sure he can work something out as he hand builds the Cheetah and others in his shop.
The ninja ip Passthrough board
If purchased as a bring your own modem variety you will need to enable ethernet drivers via AT commands
If using a phone or tab sim will also need to do TTL/HL to prevent hotspot usage from being reported (TTL/HL mods on the ninja are a chester exclusive)
InvisaGig - the IG-OS is ran on the modems internal storage, which although limited is roomy enough to fit the goodies ie the simplistic OS… that being said if IG is purchased without a modem it is no more an IG it is just an empty skeleton
@@RouterRelated So if I I buy the IG complete, would the modem then work swapped in/out of the Cheetah?
@@HansHenderson I would not recommend it because you lose the ability to talk to IG

I'll take the Cheetah thank you very much! Charging $200-ish dollars for less function isn't the definition of value.
So this still requires the SIM card to be installed it correct? I just got the Verizon 5G and they sent me the ARC one
Yes, needs a SIM
@@NaterTater bummer. Watched a bunch of your videos trying to learn about this. We love the download speed the upload and ping is a just a little worse than we had hoped for.
Do you or anyone have any recommendations for 5g modems under 400$? Is that even a thing 😅. I got the 4x4 antenna for my verizon box but a different brand tower closer to me is giving 2x the speeds
My own search hasn't found one I'd trust. You can find components to assemble an M.2 to USB3 adapter from places like WirelessHaven. It's not a route I've taken so I can't recommend it. Frankly at this point my opinion is too stick either the Chester Cheetah, SunComm 01 or new Mofi5500. All three use the RM520n-gl module and have usable channels for firmware support as well as a starting price point under $500.
@@srcrewchief89 thank you so much!!
I don’t know which one I should get the invisagig or the cheetah which one should I get
Easy. Basically tied on performance and Cheetah is like $200 cheaper.
Will it boost my speeds close to 400 bcuz I get like 210 some days and some days 150 I have b66 n41
Geez. $650.00? Guess us poor folk have to do with what we got. Seriously, this is a bit egregiously priced and completely prices out the lower income buyers.
and no router
Thats insanity, the rm520 modem itself is 200-300 USD brand new and nearly anything can run rooter or openwrt. I am using an rm520 I got out of a suncomm o1 (which a lot of these are based on) with rooter on a raspberry pi and getting 800mbps on tmo
@@jpdaxI am very interested in learning more about your setup
@@jpdaxI’m interested in buying a rm520 modem and running it through a raspberry pi. Can you point me in the right direction on how I can get all the parts and hardware to get it up and running? Thanks!
@@jpdaxI find it a bit difficult to believe a Pi can route 800mbps, it doesn't even have hardware encryption.
It should be labeled better, but the two green LEDs on the right show 100Mb/1000Mb ethernet connection speed. bottom = 100Mb top = 1000Mb. No LEDs lit on the right means you are connected via 2.5Gb ethernet.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification!
what the heck Regular price$650.00 USD to rich for eveone
How much does a 5G phone cost? About $650. This is a phone built into a router, the price makes sense.
I have agree this is overpriced. Same modem module as the Cheetah with the router and $150 more. And twice the price of the Suncomm O1. I was expecting a stand alone rm520 modem to be at lower price point than routers using the same.
@@srcrewchief89 Feel free not to buy it
Yeah the cheetah is cheaper.
Don't know how true it but I heard tmobile is coming out with a new gateway in August 22 at least what I read on Google
yes I heard that too. Probably true but they have yet to impress me with their gateways, always WAY locked down.
