    Hi, thank you for the video. I just purchased this exact same router and it works extremely well. I tried two different SIM cards, one for the 4G network and one for the 5G Network and they both connected flawlessly. There was not that much difference between speeds, the 5G produced about 20 MB more but that could be where I've got the router placed to my house. If you're looking for a good solution for high-speed internet this is a winner

      High Chad, even though my 5G is spotty here I chose to go with the P5 because the race for carriers getting 5G coverage out to rural areas is heating up big time. I just want to be ready and not spend twice but to your question is yes. Although if you just want the 4G version I would really suggest getting the 4x4 mimo such as this one amzn.to/3V8fJN5

    The only problem with these Quectel modems is last time I used one they dropped carrier aggregation after 5 minutes. (LT18)

      The short answer is I don't know! The router can handle much much more than that but I am not sure if the service is going to be more or not.

    Br

    • @CouchPotatoCafe
      @CouchPotatoCafe  Рік тому +1

      HNAT is a solution offered for SIP clients who connect from a location behind a router (ISP, MPLS, etc.) that performs NAT to the all the traffic, including SIP, BUT without being aware of the SIP content (and therefore not changing it as it is expected).
      This will cause problems in the process of SIP handling (phones unable to register, one-way audio).
      The QoS (Quality of Service) feature allows you to prioritize the internet traffic of specific devices to guarantee a faster connection when you need it the most. The router has preset an appropriate bandwidth allocation policy, so you don’t need to set different priorities for all devices. Simply set the desired device to High Priority and set how long you want it to remain the high priority, then the device will be allocated with more bandwidth when the network is overloaded

    @couchpotatocafe Would I need to change the IMEI number if I'm using a SIM card from an iphone I no longer plan to use?

    • @CouchPotatoCafe
      @CouchPotatoCafe  4 місяці тому

      It depends on the carrier but as far as the router it doesn't know if it's a IOS or Android. I would mod the IMEI to match the card just to be sure. It's very easy to do on this model

    i just bought this router, the guy at tmobile said i needed to connect to their device for it to work?They sent me a t-mobile sim car but it will not connect to internet. Is this true, anyone know? T-mobile home internet Sales dept and tech support workers are (apparently) not aware of this router. Thanks in advance for any info.

      Any truly unlimited unthrottled (no caps) plan will work which means most of the tablet addon plans are what you may want to look for.

      Have you modified the IMEI and TTL? Like most cell services are looking for this and will throttle services, try though your VPN and see if it is better and if is will be a throttling issue.
