@PeterC408
@PeterC408 3 года назад
Thanks Jesse James. I have heard great things about the Nighthawk. I love the display but it is the lack of standard antenna ports (and the fact that I have purchased several other modems) that is keeping me from it. Perhaps I going to do it anyway because I am getting lots of interest in creating failover systems. Thanks for watching. I am learning a lot from all of you and try not to worry about the clock while being respectful of time... It is better just to talk like you are talking with a friend (who is in a little bit of a hurry).

The MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM4 has carrier aggregation (SIM7 does not) so you'd get better speeds with the SIM4 using multiple bands at the same time.

Nice video. Useful info. I would like to point out that the antenna you mention requires attachment to a metal ground plane ( minimum 8” diameter) in order to work properly. Plus it provides no additional gain - it’s really just an extension antenna to allow you to avoid mounting your router outside.

Except - thanks to CA - no repeater is worth a @#*$#!@*$*@# unless it supports MANY of the bands, due to CA. I've tried 2 of them, one on band 2 and 5, another on the awesome 10 Mbps bands 17 and 21, called "AWS" and that's 3G tech, not worth a @#$@#$#@ on LTE, that's why they're on sale for $99 or less. I returned them as "defective" or "doesn't work". Guess what? Thanks to the federal CPA (consumer protection agency) you have 30 days to return almost anything "defective." The ones that work and support all bands (cell phone "boosters") cost about $500.....YAGI antennas are a much better deal.....

@PeterC408
@PeterC408 3 года назад
Yes, that Yeacomm P21 is the same. Keep in mind... while this radio is very cost effective, it does not cover all channels that tmobile uses. I would not suggest it for travellers or folks that do not know the bands they are trying to receive. Go to this Site www.cellmapper.net/ and type in "Tmobile USA" (or other).... Zooom into you neighborhood and look for the closest tower. Make note of the location (direction and distance) and the BAND!!! If it is covered by this radio, then it is a good bet. Try it right away and return it if you are not happy.

Yes, I am using a hotspot to bring the internet into my home and share it around my whole house... and it is all over 4GLTE. It works well but could be costly if you are a heavy user of the internet. Imagine if you paid a single price for water every month; if you use it for drinking and bathing, you're paying too much. Some people might be running a mining rig in their backyard and they would find this expensive. If you're just getting email, surfing the web and watching TV, you're paying too much.

Did you activate the SIM card in a mobile phone first? Or did you activate in one of these 4G LTE modem/router? I ask because I know that at least in Australia the mobile providers don't want you to use these voice SIM only card in anything other than a mobile phone. Just wonder if they pick this up during SIM card activation and maybe grabs the IMEI number and and recognises that it's not a mobile phone and maybe cancel the SIM on you?
@PeterC408
@PeterC408 2 года назад
It all started when I went to a beach house and need to work from the beach. I bought a T-Mobile Hotspot and it worked (in one corner of the house). I actually had to tape it to the window. It ran on battery and kept turning off (power save). That is when my quest for a better radio with external antennas; it opened up a whole new world. When that month was over, I took my solution back home 40 miles away and it no longer worked. It was then that I discovered BANDS and radio reception. As far as IMEI tracking, some carriers do that, but most of them don't; I have had T-Mobile for 14 years and put my card in everything!! I pay the bills. There is no need to apologize for anything. Here is a Brazilian Radio that you might be interested in, great reception but not a Access Point. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HFh-xFx3wRc.html

I had an amazing experience with the SIM4. The SIM7 seems a bit challenged with the current firmware. It seems that the main Radio Card (internal PCIe) is a cost reduction and perhaps not as good. I am not sure if it was carrier aggregating or not but I have seen someone hypothesize such.

It works like these devices except no SIM card required. My wife and I have Verizon phones, but my son has AT&T and one of my daughters has T-Mobile. My phone connects to the Extender perfectly, but the kids that don’t have Verizon have to use Facebook to make phone calls and they have to go to Air Plane mode to save their batteries. I was wondering if you knew if other phones with other carriers will connect through 4G LTE signal even though your T-Mobile SIM card installed?

WiFi is general and not carrier specific so it would work to give you Internet. Hope that helps.

@deadduck8307
@deadduck8307 4 года назад
I am a licensed radio operator. I like your explanation of how the the different frequencies propagate. But, the biggest thing you missed actually has nothing to do with the center frequency of any carrier, its the 'bandwidth' (see 16:34). To explain this, I pose a hypothetical question that anyone can duplicate at home with any home router/access point: Question: Recall that any transmitter transmits with a finite amount of energy. If this energy must be spread out evenly across a carrier's bandwidth, which carrier will be more powerful (travel further)? a.) A 100mW 2412Mhz WiFi signal utilizing 20Mhz bandwidth on an omni directional antenna with 0dBi gain. b.) A 100mW 2412Mhz WiFi signal utilizing 40Mhz bandwidth on an omni directional antenna with 0dBi gain. Answer: (a) will be more powerful since it's the same power, same center, same antenna, but the energy emitted is spread out over a smaller 'chunk' of spectrum (20Mhz vs 40Mhz). RF engineers I know use the 'butter and bread' analogy. The 20Mhz carrier has the same amount of butter as the 40Mhz carrier (100mW) but less bread to spread that butter onto (20Mhz vs 40Mhz). This plays a MUCH bigger role than frequency selection if the frequencies considered are somewhat close to one another, i.e. 2412Mhz vs 2462Mhz, for example. Now, if deciding between 2412Mhz or 5.8Ghz, then frequency selection matters a LOT, and your general idea of lower frequencies traveling further is true and a good rule of thumb.

@PeterC408
@PeterC408 2 года назад
Yes, the feature you are looking for is 4GLTE failover. I have set this up at a 35 persons business and it comes in very handy when Comcast drops out. It is a warehouse application that works at night, when Comcast does their maintenance. It works great but it sounds like you want automatic failover with priority to switch back. Here is the item that I would be looking at amzn.to/3ezKesy I have yet to try it but it looks very good. Now the 4G is supplied by a USB stick. This seems odd but once you realize that all telcos: Tmobile, Verizon and AT&T all use different frequencies, you start to appreciate what a good idea to separate them is. This one will automatically failover and switch back. Super nice and a great price point.

You would come out way better building your own using the tutorial on LTE Fix. Slip in modem and connect 2 cables and you’re up and running for a fraction of the cost.

Do you mean putting a SIM card in both of them and getting them to try and get double speed? An interesting thought but I think we are focused on getting 40+Mbps reliably and for a good price. Otherwise it turns into a science project that costs a ton of cash and doesn't solve a common problem.

@@PeterC408 The way any of the carriers act over data is just ridiculous.

They took my hotspot capabilities because At&t was upset that certain unlocked galaxy phones (S8 and later) were able to use our data on hotspot nearly undetected so they had straight talk send something to our phones that disabled the hotspot internet use, it just comnects and says "No Internet Connection" when on the hotspot now. BUT They are Absolutely fine with the fact that they offer a 65$ plan with 30 gig of hotspot that I could buy 100 times and never use the first gig of because the fact i have a BYOP straight talk sim for unlocked "At&t" phones, I'm on at&t towers and they refuse to allow Any hotspot usage so if i bought that I'd be just out of luck since they don't Actually care about people that pay them

Most my multimedia is on a NAS streamed via network or wifi My monthly bill will be around $30 P/Month + Tax instead of $79.99 So, the main loss is Video Quality from 1080P to 480P, but my online Media display is small and my 1080P Media is from a local Server, so I'm making a permanent switch for now

I am liking that a lot. I do not get throttled down in video quality, thus the need to throttle myself.

Can you elaborate on TTL and it's relationship with hotspot usage? My scenario: I built a mini-ITX PC for my car. I will run the KuWFi. I will CAT5 from KuWFi to the PC, but also want it to broadcast as a hotspot. Is TTL the solution to trick the mobile provider? Any suggestions on good data plans for a mobile system like mine? I'd like something affordable so I can keep the car online year-round, and 60GB of data to start would probably suffice. Will be doing lots of music and media streaming.
