Did you have issues connecting the GPS cable to the cell spot? Mine doesn't seat properly and won't connect
I have T-Mobile phone service but we’re I live I do not get T-Mobile service at all it uses us cellular towers I guess. Can I get one of these and have T-Mobile service at home or do I need to live in a area that has a little T-Mobile service already ?
Wait... so you need a separate internet connection to get the internet from this thing? The Ethernet cable had to connect to a router that was pulling internet from another source. What's the point in having this thing?
this device uses your internet connection to create a local "cell phone tower" in your home!
So recently my dad and i got this cellspot and at first it looked like it was working but it only lasted like 5 mins before it stopped working. right now im trying your method for it so wish me luck
thanks
The music in the background is annoying. It’s hard to hear you
mine be flashin green power, flashin orange internet. even over 2 hours, the problem was it was not provisionin cause it had 2 others that i had replaced but ips is fiber optic not cable. udp 500, udp 4500, udp 123 might not be open
To everyone who keeps talking about Wi-Fi, it does not use or connect to Wi-Fi, it uses Ethernet. The person is talking about his Wi-Fi router which has Ethernet ports.
Hey I’m wondering do you have to use the GPS antenna , as it looks like it is unorganized and chunky. I don’t want a big cable running down my window
Only required for setup. Afterwards, it can be removed from window but needs to remain plugged into the unit.
@@TechcellentNews Has this been tested? I heard otherwise from tmobile tech support.
@@thomashong7 T mobile to tech told me i can remove it, and i did and it s working fine, it s even in the video instruction at t-mobile web site
We mounted our gps on the wall above the computer where the modem sits. It works just fine. Two years later, ours is still mounted on the wall.
I don't have internet at home because im in a rural area, but i have T-Mobile one plus international plan but i only get around 11mbps download what can i buy to make it faster ?
Excellent video Cody. I've always been curious to know if one these will work without having to connect to Wi-Fi. I don't have wifi at my own residence or have access to it. Mark in Iowa.
Hi Mark, unfortunately this model does require a WiFi router connection but there is a different model that doesn't.

Hope this helps.
Techcellent News Thank you so much for sharing your reply. I appreciate knowing this! Have an awesome weekend! Mark in Iowa.
Mark Smith you can get for free from T-Mobile.

Techcellent News I have the new one I love it
I love it your video review, but I have a LG V30+ and I saw the speed was lowest than other cell phones, you can check again the speed test I was wonder if the bands are connected bad because is a good phone and I can't believe the performance was so bad.
The phones were tested once each during the video. After multiple tests, the LG V30 did see improved speeds.
When me and my wife got T-Mobile service the service was not connecting while we had to connect our phones so Wi-Fi well I found out about this cell phone spot Tower thing and I'll tell you what it's doing a good job the only issue that it has is when your power goes out or the Wi-Fi acts up that's when the system will act up a little bit but on the other hand it works great
If you use this Cellspot devise & stream video from UA-cam or something like Netflix over your phone will it only effect your t-mobile data plan. Or will it also use data from your cable internet plan?
Streaming over your phone without WiFi will effect your T-Mobile data usage.
Technically, it will go against both, since it has to be sent to T-Mobile's system over your data circuit.
Quick question, how did you get them to send you the V2? I have requested it twice (waiting to be able to order 3rd one), and both times, they sent me the V1 edition!
I returned V1 and then got V2 in a local store a couple of days later.
@@TechcellentNews Nice!
Why did your ping go up when you connected to the cell spot
Do I need to register T-MOBILE 4G LTE CELLSPOT V2 to T-Mobile
Do you have to activate the cellspot or just plug and play?
Connect to existing modem-router/Gateway with LAN cable, plug in GPS antenna, and plug in AC power adapter. Then wait ~2 hours while it sorts itself.
I recently finished installation of a replacement V2 when my first unit stopped working. The first replacement refused to complete the self-activation routine, so T-Mobile had to send me a 2nd replacement. That one still had to go several hours past the 2hr estimate, but the lights finally turned solid green after about a day. The last tech I spoke with was able to tell me that they'd had a run of units with that problem.
The Manufacture date code on the replacement (2018) that worked is actually older than my original (2019). At this point I'm just glad to have it working. The only light that never came on is the 2nd from the bottom for 3G/4G. It's now Oct 2023, so I assume that 3G has been discontinued at this point.
The 4G LTE signal (bottom light) provides great coverage, especially since I mounted it high up almost touching the ceiling on an interior wall. The kit includes 2 screws for wall mounting. Before, the CellSpot was on a shelf and closer to an outside wall. The new location is higher, and with more of a straight shot from one end of the house to the other.
beware though that everyone can use this in your area so if you live in town it will show up as a tower
So there’s no way to put such password on it ? ... I live in apartments complex and I knowwwww someone has t-mobile service lol .. I’m not tryna get robbed of what I chose to invest my deposit in .
Willie Marius no sadly you can’t this just becomes a tower anyone can use off your expense
Do you also need to have a modem?
Yes.
Does the cell spot also give home internet for free using lte? Or no
No.
Mine refuses to work. I even contacted my internet company and opened the necessary ports
Did you get yours to work I can’t get mine to work at all :(
The cellspoti is a great idea and it’s welcomed by many unfortunately it has flaws the biggest flaw is that anybody with in 3000 Foot radius that is vertical and horizontal that has a T-Mobile phone can connect to it there is nothing proprietary about the cell spot while it can handle 8 phone calls and 8 data connections at once which are all encrypted there is nothing special for say to keep people off of your network in your home T-Mobile will tell you that it is bound to your account and that you and your family are the only ones that can access it but don’t be fooled because it can be accessed by anybody that has a T-Mobile phone if you’re up against The wall and are thinking about a cell spot or a booster a cell spot requires a connection to your router and a booster well it’s just that it boosts the signal out of the air but unfortunately I’ve had a horrible results with the booster and always went with a cellspot I still have a cell spot and would never go without it just something to think about.
T-Mobile goes out of their way to try and have you believe that this spot is "tied to you home address" and lead you to believe only your phones can access it. This could not be an further from the truth. I caught a T-Mobile "technical expert" in a lie and when I called her out on it she admitted that anyone with T-Mobile service can hop on to your cell spot. This WILL impact the traffic on your internet connection!
this device coverage to about 3000 sq. ft. Do you see kids sitting on your driveway with their gaming computers sucking your bandwidth? Please!

so lte speeds are as fast as your own wifi?
Yes, the LTE speeds will be as fast as your home internet.
Techcellent News Then what is the point?!
My WiFi is very slow is that going to affect it?
High speed internet recommend for best results. 2mb minimum required.
How do I connect to the Wi-Fi on this thing?
This device is not a router. It does not provide WiFi access.
Is Wi-Fi or internet required for this booster?
ethernet cable from router lan port to wan port on 4glte cellspot. internet is required, udp ports: 500, 4500, 123 needs to be opened, not blocked. internet provider only can open them
How long did it take you?
Setup took about 45 minutes.
Techcellent News top light keeps blinking in green then internet is orange
QuadRiderHonda I can’t get mine to work at all just blinks green for days now
If I order one, can it still be used international, with my local network provider?
No. This can only be used with the primary address registered on your T-Mobile account.
why are all my light solid green but my 4g lte is blinking green?
The startup guide states LTE flashing green means Cellspot reached maximum number of 8 active voice/data connections. Flashing orange means Cellspot is overheating.
Techcellent News how do i fix it
This happens when other people with T-Mobile phones jump onto your cell spot! And they chew up your internet data capacity.
Set it up but my speeds are still hamster wheel mcdonalds status probably because I live in the country
I ordered one for my job because service is horrible. Why do I need to connect to a router? I thought it was just plug? Someone had a a range booster before and now he's gone and took it. It looked like it was just plugged in wall and mounted
The model you are referring to is different. See video: ua-cam.com/video/1qlA1AkkGmQ/v-deo.html
how much was it?
For all you idiots that keep asking the same stupid question over and over, let me give you in a nutshell how this works as I have set this up in my house and it works excellent.
First of all, this device is only for people who have very bad signal where they live.
Secondly, all you have to do is connected to your router or moden. Let it run for about 30 minutes. They say 2 hours but it only took 30 minutes for me. Once you see all of the green lights lite up on the device, then is ready!
Then all you have to do now is turn off the wifi on your cell phone, look at how many bars you have on your phone now and do a speed test.
I only had 1 bar before and now I have full bars and i am getting around 180mbps with my wifi turn off.
For those saying if it works with your wifi what is the point? You're not getting it. The device works with wifi signal to increase your cell phone signal. Without the device, your cell signal relies only on the cell phone tower and that will be all. So is basically a signal booster amplified by your wifi. I hope you understand now how it works! If you are still lost then I suggest you don't order this device and just choose a different carrier!
not only that, gotta make sure udp ports: 123, 500 and 4500 is open not blocked on the isp side. mine was workin til i switched from cable to fiber optic and was workin and everything happened, t mobile towers had maintenance, cellspots started to have problems. got a email sayin my Internet account been deleted. probably cellspot account they mean. on my 3rd 4glte cellspot replacement
usin the same router as before
it be the Internet provider not wantin to open the ports or don't know how to do it
been usin 4glte for over 4 years since 2019, no problems until now 2023
just out of curiosity, why do you play shitty music? why not stop using music all-together? It doesn't help; it inhibits comprehension. Thank you
Stop the stupid music and talk man. Really
