I have had T Mobile for 3 years and love it. No cost for hardware and $50 per month, unlimited, forever.
I would have had to move or lose my job if I had not found your cellular vids! I work from home and had DSL, since they are getting rid of the telco lines the DSL was throttled back until worthless I cant thank you enough for that series and have shared it to the fb group I'm in plenty of times so people can educate themselves
Glad it helped
That AC outlet on the wall where the rolling door will chop the fan's plug off is making my eye twitch.
Hey bud, take some corrugated pipe. Cut in in 12” pieces. Cut those pieces length wise so u have two 12in long cups. Put those cups between that flex duct and strapping. This stops the strapping from crushing the pipe which drastically restricts the airflow in the flex duct.
Good tip
@@TKCL your welcome. I have got good tips from your videos. Simply returning the favor whenever I can
@RJ-cc1fz I came here researching for a friend internet needs and found more! Thanks for the tip with the flex duct! Headed to get so pipe now!👍
Because of your videos, we added net buddy to our rural camp and the family and I love it. We used the ext panel antenna. Thanks for all the great content you put out.
Glad it was helpful!
I am glad you did this review. I had followed all your set up videos from the beginning but I had already done research with another company and talked with there people a lot. I had been wondering how everything worked out. I did what you have but with Mobile Must Have. I have sent Net Buddy an email to see if I can use there plans in my equipment as I am paying $80 for 150 g a month. Fantastic speeds though. Again Thank You for all the info.
Love the video. Here in UK we do much the same. In any situation an outdoor antena is a top idea. Here in UK, in any named area one mobile carier will give a lot better results, just do your research first. We even attach an old style phone to our mobile router to make mobile calls
Great information. Thanks for sharing. I see your UA-cam silver play button. What a great accomplishment. You worked hard for that.
Thank you so much, love having it.
Internet in indispensable these days. Thanks for the information. I always love watching your channel; keep up the great content. God bless you both Andrew and Tiffany.
Thank you for the support, God bless.
So helpful! We have our shop out in the rural county and had the same issue with Starlink, waited forever with no results. I heard about cellular internet, but every time I inquired about it, walked away confused. We even tried hughesnet satellite internet which is a joke. Thank you for breaking this down so people can understand it before throwing money at it blindly. Thanks!
Glad it helps
That is all great info my friend! I'm glad its working for you and I hope the fiber does too when you get it!! Good luck with everything!
Can't wait for fiber
Also. You CAN get the SIM out of the T-Mobile devices if you do the home internet and their gateway. You have to create a business account to be able to take the SIM and put it in your own devices.
After watching all of your videos. I went with the panel antenna and the net buddy with their T-Mobile SIM card. Went from zero cell signal to 28mbps down and 4mbps up. Just pointed the panel in the general direction of the tower. Haven’t had a chance to get up there and fine tune it yet. I’ll update when I get a chance to get back on the roof. Streams HD fine. I’m able to communicate from my cabin. Thanks for all the advice!
Nice! So glad it worked for you.
Thank you for the update Andrew. I can’t wait to get my fiber here either. Hopefully in 6 months to a year
Same quote for me!
Always enjoy seeing the testing. I have power company fiber internet, but will be moving to country in 2-3 years. So, learning about options is good. 1G symmetrical fiber was a game changer though.
Can't wait to get fiber!
I have found this series quite interesting. I still have a 1.5mb connection thru the phone co. but get somewhat faster speeds because everyone has switched carriers. I have a price lock as long as I don't change anything. I don't know if they will ever upgrade this part of town, but my options are very limited right now. Your setup intigues me if I had the bucks to invest. Glad you keep us updated👍💜💜💜
Thank you for watching
I am glad my visible by verizon works here in marion county florida. I did think about using outdoor antennas back when we had t-mobile. The tower was just too far for a usable signal, even though their people claimed I was supposed to get a good signal (ugh). I switched to visible, got the signal I needed and never had to get any extra hardware.
First off, love the channel. People sometimes forget just how rural Florida is once you leave the city.
I wanted to add one note, I don't do a lot of social media etc. so I've never showcased my system however I do have T-Mobile home internet. While they do provide you a "home router" you can use any cellular router of your choosing, as long as it operates on the channels T-Mobile utilizes. I have their service in two areas, well north of Tampa and I average 200-300 down and 15-20 up. I have one in Tampa proper and see speeds of 550-600 down and 100-115 up. Those are huge numbers but again in Tampa proper. We've never hit a cap either. Hope this helps if you happen to be able to get T-Mobile.
Sadly T mobile says my address doesn't qualify for their equipment and plan. However it works great here through a 3rd party.
Thanks for all of your videos on this topic. I currently run the exact same router from NetBuddy with the panel antenna from Waveform. It works great except like you said for the connectivity issue with the tower, but that rarely happens. I thought NetBuddy quit selling data plans? I ended up just adding a line to my AT&T cell phone plan and it is actually cheaper in the long run. Like Andrew said, the up front cost for the equipment is somewhat expensive, but it is so worth it in the long run!
They wound up dropping AT&T, still offer T mobile and Verizon.
Awesome educational video. Thanks for sharing. 🤠
Thanks for watching!
Hi Andrew another good learning video, very interesting. Thank you !! ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you for watching
I don’t use a home cellular router but I test all the different providers in my phone for a hobby lol. And I am on a forum where people do use these routers. I am in the UK, but you can buy a 5 G router if eBay that’s unlocked, set up an external arial, and then pay peanuts for an unlimited SIM and you can have decent speeds for a very reasonable price. Luckily for me I have a decent fibre to the cabinet and have just had fibre to the door laid in the road, about to order that, but if I did t have these options I absolutely would use a cellular router like you. You just need to research it but you can really pay a low cost to use this option.
Andrew, we’re getting that fiber internet you mentioned as well. I’m very excited about that.
Nice! It can't come soon enough
@@TKCL😊
WoW, WoW, WoW That was great on so many levels 👏
Thank you for watching
Just a casual Observer😅
Got worried when they stopped offering service for Verizon but ordered a visible sim and 6 months later still good $45 a month
I will have to look into this internet option. I have the Verizon 5g cell internet, it's been decent. After 2 years of waiting for starlink I finally gave up on them and got my deposit back.
Oh and yes cell mapper is great. But also if you can get a pay as you go sim from all the providers do that to test first, and then like you said research how you can get the cheapest sims on your chosen provider. I can now get a pay monthly contract, so the contract term is one month, esim from a MVNO on the provider that gives me 5G in my area, it’s not good for calls but as a backup for if my internet goes down it’s a great option.
Thanks for this. Because of your previous videos, I bought a router from NetBuddy. My results haven't been as great as yours, but it's better than nothing. On a good day I can get 8 mbps down and nearly 2 up, which is enough to stream TV or watch videos on my computer. I'd like to get the Waveform panel antennae, but need to figure the cost effectiveness of that vs Starlink's standard or roam service.
Antennas make a huge difference.
👍 still working great!! T-Mobile Morganton NC. I am close to a 5G tower. Tonight 453 Mbps down 29 Up.
Wow! Awesome speeds
Good Video man.
Just a couple of comments here. I also waited on Starlink here in Florida. But when it finally came it was for RV. I set it up ona 8ft. pole and it was a almost painless install. BUT after about 45 days they shut it down and I couldn't activate again. They did this with no notice. I tried at least 20 times to get it working again. So now I have 2 complete systems I don't use.
I bought a MOFI-5500 5G router and it is a POS compared to the Modem you and I now own. The 5500 never would and has never locked on to 5G.
I bought a CPE-MESH system from the Internet with a RM520N-GL modem and it is a MOFI Killer. I have a 4X4 Mimo Yagi type antenna on it. My speeds are at least 400 MBPS Download And 35-50 Mbps upload. What I have looks identical to yours and maybe the same modem. I am waiting on a 4X4 Panel from Waveform and should be here next week. I will let you know how it works out compared to the 4X4 Yagi setup.
Let me know, things vary wildy.
@@TKCL The new panel should be here Tuesday. It will be mounted in the same place as the yagi antennas. But with LMR-400 cable and not that 240 cable.
Even 35 Ft. at those frequencies has a high loss. Sometimes more loss than the antenna has gain in that case you are spinning your wheels. I cut my loss by cutting the cable to 20 ft. but that was as short as I could go. SINR went from -8 to 19-20 db. So cable type and length makes a big difference. I will let you know what I find out here though. Have a great Sunday... Dave
If you're looking to game on T Mobile cellular, you need to make sure you're directly wired in to your router/gateway (much lower latency) and are using the n41 band if it is available to you. n41 gives lower latency and is more consistent but unless the cell tower you connect to is in your backyard, it is probably wise to invest in an external antenna because the upload is horrendous otherwise (I'm talking 1-2mbps horrendous).
I thankfully run between 130-230Mbps down, 30-70Mbps up on my T Mobile but the tower is 1/4mi away lol. Not bad for having only 3-4 bars out of 5 most times. No issues gaming the few times I tried CoD (even with my PC on wifi, been too lazy to run the 100’ ethernet lol). Was on ATT DSL before- 6.5Mbps down 1Mbps up so yeah I just can’t completely even if the DSL was way more consistent in speedtests
Oh and you are right, this option is not widely known about. For some it’s a great option as they have poor speeds in the landline, no plans for fibre to their door, but they can get a decent 4G or 5G signal with someone. Much better value than Starlink.
A great option for us country folks Andrew. Starlink is working but the price went up and I'm not happy about it. They gave those with other options in the city a discount and stuck it to us living rural. I'm really looking at a back up/other option and this video may have convinced me. I appreciate the information and honest follow up review.
Sorry to hear that, I've heard from a lot of disappointed Starlink customers. Get with me when your ready and let me look over the options in your area before you purchase anything.
@TKCL Will do. I appreciate it, Andrew.
We have netbuddy now, thanks to TKCL. We're using all of the cheapest equipment and still getting good enough speeds to stream videos and play online games with multiple devices simultaneously. We do plan to eventually upgrade to the more expensive equipment to get even faster speeds.
Happy to hear it
Getting fiber will be sweet Andrew. Not only will you get better speeds, the latency will be gone. I've been on fiber for going on 15 years. It's the best.
Can't wait
Very useful video. Can you please comment on what options you have to lightning protect the antenna, as well as what to do to protect the router from electrical surges that arrive through the antenna cables.
It's all covered in high detail in the series ...

@@jp34604 Thank you!
I just got the TPlink MR600. Which model of cellular modem do you prefer?
Spectrum is in our area but to get it ran 200ft to my house on 14acres was going to cost me $7700.. going to give this a shot
That's crazy expensive
Any update to the equipment and service you are using and keep making the great videos and we too are building a barndo in the country
Still working great, I've got new videos coming next week on the cellular internet.
I haven't paid for cable in years but internet is a must. I might be really lost when I start traveling.
One of these would be excellent in the van.
Ya might help you find 👻👻👻👻👻😱😱😱
I use a cudy p5 with a visible sime and get roughly same speeds as you. Only $25 a month as well
Can you install it on a modem visible sim card..I have there phone for $ 25 a mth..
Cellular internet has been a lifesaver! I use HomeFi.
You saved my life! Just kidding. But seriously thanks for bringing us country bumpkins information on how to stay connected to the interweb!
It really was a blessing for me.
Hey Andrew nice update, hey can you tell me what you used on cutting out the plywood around your windows and doors on the house when you was building it I watched all your videos and I don’t think you talked about it or I missed it, I am going to get to that phase of my build soon
I did show it. I used a router with a panel bit.
@@TKCL I guess I didn’t see it , thanks for the info
Thanks for the great info! Rural teleworker here. I'm renting and wondering about advice for mounting antennae and wiring that is least invasive since I don't own the house? Thanks again!
Watch this video, they just released a window mount antenna for just your situation. ua-cam.com/video/UaI8Po9jCyk/v-deo.html
Hi Andrew from Western Australia - a question for you regarding your power outlet behind you in this video. Does the cable get in the way of the sliding door and if so would it be better to move it slightly to the left?
The door can be pulled out enough to slide past if something is plugged in.
It's been a year already? Dang... My NetBuddy router and external antenna has been worth every penny.
Glad to hear that
Do you know if net buddy has a roaming feature? It be great for those trips when driving across Canada or Mexico. Thanks
That I don't know
Dear Kelly’s
Thank you so much for your very helpful video about netbuddy. I have Att 5g tower 300 yards from my back porch. Could not afford 5g router yet but got Cudy 4g LTE Ac 1200 router from netbuddy because I thought that would be good enough with the tower right behind my house. My speed is still very very slow. 4mbps/2mbps. Am I missing something with settings? With the tower so close I would think my speed would be screaming fast. What am I missing?
You got the AT&T plan correct? The other possibilities that the tower is not aimed in your direction at all. I have a Verizon tower 1 mile from me and I get poor signal here because it's aimed away from our home. External antennas help. You can also use the program called cellmapper.net, and it can show you the band the tower runs on. You can log into your routers settings and band lock under that section, to the towers bands that are broadcasted. Sometimes this makes a big difference in signal.
In the same boat you were in till Verizon internet came out. Do you have an outdoor antenna for tv? I get about 35 channels. There is some good channels available just for cost of one time purchase of antenna.
No I don't, Hulu and Netflix is quite reasonable. Lots of free shows on Roku wlas well.
Andrew, Thank you for the update. Great information as always. Can you advise on the distance you are getting from the Wi-Fi signal? I have an RV and a metal building about 100 feet apart with a screened shed in the middle of the two. Do you think this system would make Wi-Fi available to all three if I connected it in the middle building with the optional antenna? We currently have ok reception in all three with T-Mobile phones and a cellular laptop.
Metal and wire is killers of signal. I can get signal several hundred feet away. But my shop doors must remain open.
@TKCL thank you Andrew. Itvis much appreciated.
@@TKCL if you have a window facing the house, you can get a Wi-Fi access point or range extender and put it in the window and have Wi-Fi in the shop with doors closed.
Why do you need a data only SIM? What happens if you put in a regular SIM?
Hey man im super interested in this! I currently have verizon home internet with their cube askey gateway. $45 a month. And get 70mbps no more no less. I love the price and im locked in for 10 years. Sounds great but i had the jetpack from verizon that was 80 a month and capped at 150 gb of data a month. But i got 200 to 250 mbps! On the jetpack.... my question is do you think this gateway router you have will get me back up to the speed i had
That's impossible to say because your location is different than mine. You could do better or worse. With that said 70Mbps and only $45 a month is a great deal, especially if it's unlimited.
I missed who you said was the provider. and what exact model are you using. I clicked on the links provided, but that doesn't tell us what equipment you have. I live in dixie county florida and I have to pay almost 300 a month for two hotspots that can not keep up. I'm burnt out.
I am two counties north of you. That router is an older model, their new Suncomm 5G router on their website is what replaced it. I am using T mobile service here, you area might require a different provider.
Do you still have to use your cellphone booster after installing this system? Starting our new construction going with netbuddy for internet, but wondering if I need a cell booster? After using both booster which booster do you recomend the Hiboost or the Weboost? Thanks much your videos are very helpful.
This is for internet only, it doesn't boost cell signal. However you can turn on wifi calling on your phone and use this via internet to make calls and texts.
For the money i'll just buy the booster . Do you like the Webooster or Hiboost better?@@TKCL
So are you still using the 4 exterior antenna's.????
I seen where you tested another one that wasn't directional how did that one work.????
I'm still using the panel antenna. I like the way it looks.
In my area, the fiber wouldnt do any good as far as "2 internet connections, one as a backup plan", whenever the DSL went down, the 5g does too, they must use the same fiber backbone for data transfers.
Lol, I and many others have known about this for several years.
There is cheaper options with no caps, purchase a 5G router that you can change IMEI and get additional line from your wireless for $15, setup IMEI, APN, TTL and done.
Great video by the way👍🏼
Yes however far easier said than done. Carriers have access control lists to limit the end point devices permitted which makes it difficult to match configuration parameters for optimum performance to bond LTE channels if you can even connect at all. Hacking the RAN is not really an option when it's your only mission critical connection.
But yeah it's doable albeit time consuming and frustrating.
@@jp34604 i am doing it the way I mentioned and I haven’t had any issues, almost 8 months already.
Did you find any difference between the 5G router paired with a Waveform antenna and the 5G outdoor router/antenna combo by Suncomm?
Surprisingly they had very similar speeds.
I have Starlink, and live in an area where it is still unavail based on their map. I figured out a way to get it and shipped to my rural address, then a few steps to activate it anyway. Yes its $600 for the initial hardware, and my speeds are 20/10 but it was my only option as I did try the cellular method. Also, found out another way to get Starlink for cheaper only after I purchased mine.
Can u elaborate how u got starlink?
I live in the sticks so any info would be appreciated.
@@bmlera7901 yes, I didn't use the app to purchase, but signed in on their website. Put in an address of someone I knew (with permission) that was in a service area, changed the shipping to my actual address, and then purchased. Once it arrived, installed the app, followed their setup instructions. It did warn that I was not in the service area, they base it from the 1st address. So there is a place in the app that you can change it, but don't put in the address. Use the map and GPS coord method and then it worked and error went away. It goes through the warm up sequence, etc. Then a week later, I changed to my actual address.
I'm on government time it so I can't forward the starlet and I gave up my slot the other day I now wish I had it but I cannot get any information like you got could you personally do it while I was supposed to do thank you very much I'm disabled to handicap and the prices I can't even get buddy to answer my emails
I have been following your cellular internet series for awhile. I see that you do not have the external router listed. Did it not perform as well as you expected or are you still testing before you recommend it?
I provided a Link in the video description where you can purchase any router you want. I am still using that outdoor router at the shop, I've had zero issues.
@@TKCL OK Thank you.
Thanks for the great content! We are UA-cam content creators as well and in the process of building an off-grid homestead. We have been looking for internet options because, as of right now, we have nothing at our property but poor/spotty cell reception. This looks like it would be a great option for us because I know we have a T-mobile tower not terribly far from us. However, every time I get on net buddy's website it says they are out of stock on everything. I tried emailing them, but haven't received a response yet. I saw in a previous comment that someone asked and you mentioned something about them quickly running out of stock. Is there any update on when they might be back in stock? Would you suggest just checking their site each day? I looked into a DIY version of this by getting my own router and a sim card, but as you said, it was frustrating trying to explain what I was needing to the sales people at the cell carries. And, when I finally did get them to understand what I needed, they said there would be data caps on the plans. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks again for making great videos!
Sadly checking everyday is the option. They've been struggling since covid to get enough inventory. As soon as they stock it, it sells right out because so many are waiting for it.
@@TKCL Okay. We will keep checking in. Thanks again!
If I already have T-Mobile hotspot but want to boost my signal, what do I need?
You need T mobiles new home hub that has antenna hookups. They just announced it.
Any chance you know if this is available in Canada or is it USA specific?
I don't know that you be honest you'd have to ask the company.
A while back you had a video about net buddies no longer offers plans, that has changed?
Yes I updated right after that. They kept Verizon and T mobile.
I’m curious if you had to estimate, how many gigs do you think you use on the netbuddy sim a month?
Haven't checked in a long time. I'd say 300-400 gigs.
I have a MOFI router. Are there any other places that we can get the T-Mobile Sim card?
Not that I am aware of.
Andrew,
As far as security, do you use a vpn? Also, my wife works for a company that requires a Ethernet connection. Will the company be able to identify the system as wireless?
Thanks
Kevin
I do use a VPN. I am not sure about the connection, if not using a VPN you do have a consistent ip address.
gotta already have money to drop into this stuff. if I would have known before when I had money I would have been happy to get this. it is killing. e to pay almost 300 bucks a month and still have crap for internet.
Well this is a little less than three months of your internet for all equipment. If you have T mobile it's only $55 a month. In your case it's worth it to switch and technically pay the equipment off in 3 months with the savings.
I have home fi and I’m in the Ocala fl outskirts it suck I’ve tried every internet so far so what’s another thousand dollars
Good 'call'.... 🙂
How is the shop Wi-Fi antenna doing ? I think I like that one better.
Doing great, zero issues.
Just to be clear that one is not a Wi-Fi enabled device it is an outdoor POE powered LTE to ethernet router as such much more susceptible to failure long term.
Correct
so how far away can you get 2.4 wifi get from your house... i saw one vid you did with a router from outdoor router cat 12 and was a few hundred feet away... thanks dave
Honestly I still get several hundred feet out with this. But...... I just added the Orbi home mesh system with an outdoor wifi antenna. I can go even further now it appears.
Ok..good to know..thanks...
Any particular reason you switched and stayed with current router from the other one i mentioned you had from outdoor router?
Yes I can get unlimited data with this company.
How far is your tower? Do you have a line of site of it?
No line of sight, very thick trees. One Tower is about a mile away, the other is 7 MI away. The one closest to me it's a leased out repeater tower that multiple services use. It's not a very strong signal.
I think you should sneak that play button in the background of every video. 😜
Lol like a where's Waldo?
Their wedsite keeps saying sold out. Would like to make the purchase. I'm in norhtwest Florida and run in a "hockey puck. Ready to up grade but it keeps saying sold out.
They are having a hard time getting inventory due to supply chain issues. Everytime they get some in stock, people buy them up immediately.
Andrew, have you heard at what speed the fiber will be at, and have they indicated at all how much it will cost per month?
Yes, three packages. 500 Meg is $50 a month, 1 gig is $79.99 and 2 gig is $99.
@@TKCL
Does it say total or symmetrical?
Ie
2 gig = 1 gig up / 1 down
1 gig = 500/500. Up/down
500 = 250/250Mbs up/down
At 80 bucks 1 gig is more than enough for a single power user (even a tuber!)
Anymore is overkill unless you have multiple simultaneous users doing video up and down at the same time.
Even the lowest package is insanely fast with single-digit latency!
Start off at the bottom you can always change it with just a phone call.
It didn't say, it was a very basic pamplet letting us know it was coming. I figured 500 Meg was already more than I'd ever need.
@@TKCL
It is BUT you get QOS (quality of service) with the higher speeds ie a higher priority during periods of congestion basically guaranteed bandwidth instead of best effort delivery but that's only during Peak periods very rarely will it be an issue especially at the beginning and for a long time afterwards you can always upgrade and it will only be cheaper in the future.
Ahhh, well that makes me want to go another package up. But not many people live around me, I guess depending on where all this ties in determines the load and priorities. I can try the lower package and always upgrade if needed.
I Pay $25 for 3 months Unlimite Data No Cap In Phillipines get around 200-500 mbps Down 20-100 up is amazing thanks for bright my mind on this
That's amazing
What about Starlink
Cause we had three phone carriers before Starlink and all sucked. I knew they would but with boosters didn’t help . We live out in no where in Oklahoma
2 bars on phones and smart tv wouldn’t even come on . Said no WiFi.
Starlink finally came and 250 down
80 up
$130 a month isn't appealing to me. I was on their waitlist for a year and half and they kept pushing my date out. So I went cellular and have been overall happy. We are now getting fiber in my area so I'll be switching to that since it's the best option out there and affordable.
What's the name of the app you used to find the tower
Open signal
The only downside I can think of is that you can't use it as a portable system if you travel whereas you can travel with a starlink unit. Am I wrong?
The router itself with built-in antennas is very portable.

How do you contact net buddy ???
Email contact on their website is the only way I know of.
The router in your video looks like a 5G Cheetah V1 🐆 - Wi-Fi 6 Industrial LTE NR5G Wireless Modem Router Bundle Fixed Wireless Access Point - Can work Mobile. Im confused
Very well could be several companies using a same router but branding it differently.
Out in the suburbs of Chicago with about 30,000 people, we can’t get fiber nor is fiber coming anytime soon. How are rural areas getting fiber and we aren’t. SMH
It's up to the local coops and power companies investing into the program with their own money. There are bills for government and state grants, but the company must also put up money to make it happen.
Wow
Nailed it!
Congratulations 👏🎉 🧀🪤
Cool but whats the name of the router...?
It's a Suncomm router. Link is in the video description to Netbuddy who sales them. This model has been replaced buy a newer one.
I like your but you wrong about T-Mobile home you can add antennas to it the only thing you have to do is take the case off and plug the leads in and use the same antenna as you do just have to work a little harder to do it. And it’s area caps You can down to T-Mobile and ask them if they have one and they will probably will. They just don’t mount to overload the towers. They work fine I did get one. You need before you say you can’t put antennas and can’t get one to check before you tell people. I like your channel not being hard on you but I know you can do that.thanks
Yes I'm aware of that hack, but I'm not recommending to viewers to open up or modify factory equipment.
Just sharing that T-Mobile has a new modem model- Arcadyan TMOG4AR which supports the connection of external antennas. I was quite surprised when I saw the changes while setting it up for a friend.
next time show us ur carrier configuration like bands and what agreggation they use like for me i get about 750mbps down and 3-70mbps up its n78 (5G) + b1+b3+b7+b28/n28 (if it disconnects n78) my latency from 4G dropped by 10ms from 22ms down to 11ms, speeds increased from 150-300mbps down to 750 sometimes it peaks at 890mbps and n78 signal is on the edge so if it uses n78 for upload it almost drops out so it switches to 4G upload i bet ur getting B2+B66+n71 and i think you can optimise ur connection for better speeds and lower latency, and check if the modem is truly connected to 5G and try to enable 5G SA (standalone) that is pure 5G, no 4G as anchor for 5G Cell, that will drop the latency by 2x
Thank you, I have recently played with band locking.
Good day all.
Good day!
@@TKCL glad you two reached 100K and hope you both are "working for home" soon.
Thank you so much
how much per month?
Depends on the carrier
Might want to check out Google Fi. They offer free data-only SIMs for their unlimited plans. I switched my phone over to it and I get to run my 5G router without any extra charge. They use T-Mobile towers too, so in theory, it should be similar speeds. Might be worth testing.
Any update?
Been using this same system for two years now and I truly depend on it for my income. I still recommend it.
Thanks for the quick response!
How much per month
Depends on the carrier, T mobile is $55 a month. Others are more.
