AT commands. I love it. Reminds me of modem days!

I don't own a Cadillac but I like to see one driven and put through the tests. Same deal here. Very informative video as usual. Right now I'm satisfied with my stock set-up and happy to report that my performance has improved significantly over the last two or three months which must be to tower upgrades.

Brother, I just want to thank you for your content. When starlink wouldn’t work here due to obstructions, and there being literally no landline broadband or fiber options available, I gave up. However… God pointed me to your channel a few days ago and for the first time in my life I’m seeing download speeds of 275 avg with spikes as high as nearly 400. Upload isn’t all that great, but I can fix that with a waveform which I also learned of thanks to you. Dude, I watched RU-vid vids at 4k earlier. Those who don’t understand just haven’t been in these shoes. Thank you, man, and God bless you and yours ❤

Click thumbs up if your jelous of the boom

All i have to say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I didn't know about those commands for NSA only

10ms ping is amazing for wireless! That's what you can expect with cable internet.

I thought of you when I first saw this Elsys product. Glad to see that you got it going. For those of you that are less technical, Richard at the Wireless Haven will step you through all the changes that need to be made. Note: A T-Mobile business SIM requires no setting and works out of the box.

Does the elsys unit work with the black home internet unit for T-Mobile. FAST 5688W

I’ve been waiting for this video! Awesome results. My amplimax arrived and I’m headed down to the cabin to install it next week. If I can 50 down / 5 up I’ll be thrilled. I’m not counting on it because the T-Mobile signal is so weak, but I’m mounting it at the peak of an a-frame. If it all goes well, I can cancel my att business unlimited, which is loaded with fees and threatens to disconnect the service if I get close to 25 GB in a month (for “abuse”). ATT has a great signal but they just cost a lot.

I can't tell you how appreciative that you test equipment like this. I'm excited to get my Amplimax. I spent over 2 weeks trying to get my Waveform 4x4 mini to work well, and it simply wouldn't. Instead of trying the upgrade, I'm skipping that and getting the beast lol

This is great for a lot of money! Is there any hope for those of us who can't afford $500+. In fact $300+ is pushing the limit, when you think of the antenna, pole, etc, that again brings it to $500+. I live in the sticks with LOTS of huge mature trees. Not sure exactly how far I am from the closest 5G tower, maps show none around, but I do get a Strong 5G signal about 20% of the time before it gets lost. If my budget is $400 all in, do I have any hope?

How many years do you think we might see a $200 price range on a 5G cellular POE antenna with Elsys Amplimax Ultra speeds?

So do you have any suggestion on a device for a vehicle that can use t-mobile unlimited simm?

My t-mobile was getting 500 in jun e now barely getting 35 downloads what happen why my speed dropped so much

Got the AmpliMax Ultra a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! Massive speed increase over the Cheetah V1 and Waveform 4X4 combo. I don't get the speeds that Nater does, but considering I'm on the extreme edge of the T-Mobile service area, I'll take 100-150 down all day long! Thanks for the SA/NSA AT commands sir. They might come in handy! :)

Dude, I'm still beating these speeds with a SE06 Pro and a 4x4 mimo setup or 4x4 (650-690dl) panel and I am miles from tower. You're killing on the ping though and better uploads.

You make the best videos. Thanks for the comprehensive review, was a lot of fun to watch.

Looks like you finally cracked it. Congrats on those great speeds.

Another great video and will be investing in it I have the Elys 4g LTE version I would like you to make a similar video like this and thanks again for your help and hard work to provide all of you insight to getting these antennas to work for all of the carriers looking forward to your next video Kraig from Washington State

Those results are stellar but those antenna prices are a bit too rich for my working class blood 😳

What a surprise seeing that AT commands are still in use. I'm surprised somebody hasn't come up with something they could slap a patent on and charge for it.

Impressive that you have your own manlift. I'm jealous. (Edit: Made this comment before watching. Now I realize why it was there). Might want to consider a harness though...we want NaterTater...not MashedTaters.

My Tmobile 5G gateway cuts in and out 😢especially when I'm gaming

When u gonna do a review on 5G Cheetah AX3000 🐆 - The Next Episode SDX75

I have Verizon 5G Home Internet without a SIM. Can I still use it?

First off thank you for the video, I know there are some challenges for folks where they choose to live in a ultra urban or the areas up and down terrain can be a challenge for cell signals to reach. I bumped into this video in my recommended algorithm and since I’m in the cellular industry I couldn’t pass it up. Not to cast any shade at the owner of this channel but it is best practice to have a current body harness on and tethered to one of the dedicated anchors in the man lifts basket. Even if you’re driving the unit to where you’re going to first set up, or if you have a big enough lift, to use the hydraulics while driving to extend out the lifts wheelbase for the working at heights above 60’. The rental company must supply the harness if they know that you that you don’t have your own. I’m not judging anyone as i was guilty of making the same mistake 20 years ago thinking I didn’t need any of my equipment on for a job that had the shortest poles to work on. Twenty years ago I started climbing cell towers but in the area I worked we had a lot of commercial rooftops as well and that meant we worked out of a man lift basket religiously. My first year I was driving a 120’ lift over to the first antenna sector location and I saw one of these oversized speed bumps and I thought or rather didn’t think that let’s drive over it with some speed instead of controlling it as usual. Well, I almost was literally bucked out of the lift, fortunately the CM on-site didn’t see it. That episode shook some sense into me and when later down the road when I was forced to go to climbing school I finally realized just how dangerous everything I was doing was wrong and I was constantly putting my life in harms way. 4 years later I became a CM and helped guys in the years since. Sorry for the OSHA rant… question on the equipment installed on your dedicated rooftop mast. Does any of your antennas installation callouts for minimum separation from other equipment? In theory you should see even better scores on all systems with a minimum of 2’ of vertical separation tip to tip and 5’ of horizontal separation and a clear line of site for optimal performance. I’ve had jobs where they have had some outside interference and we had to have a 3rd part come in and use specialty equipment to sniff out offenders. Some good examples are some idiot using a cell jammer looking for a crazy steep FCC fine, or a cable companies coax amp leaking RF, and my favorite a hotel rooms alarm clock oscillating and spewing RF junk frequencies out in the ether. The reason I mentioned this is the RF engineers I basically worked for demanded a 5’ separation unless physical constraints wouldn’t allow it. I personally was fed up with WIFI issues at my old house where everyone was on the same 2.4 GHz channels and challenged myself to fill all my issues. In my two story I ended up finding a spot on top of my kitchen cabinets which shared a wall with my garage. I mid-entered the incoming coax and installed a 12”x12” gateway box where I could cleanly network all of my room outlets for the whole house. Then I used a utility phone app to investigate everyone’s service and determine what channels to choose on 2 & 5 gig networks an after that tweak how much of the spectrum to use if I was getting any noise. After all was said and done I was able to stream Netflix over DSL which was big dream before I took the time to rework the whole setup and I was very happy with the final results. Point to point microwave installation has even more strict guidelines but that’s a story for one other time. Thanks again for your videos

Hey Nate...what's a good wireless router for verizon 5g internet?

Hi Nater, I did tried T-Home 3 times for the past 2 years in Chicago N-W Suburbs, my tower is half mile away and Iam getting good speeds, BUT if weather changing to rain or fog I get packet loss in game called Counter-Strike 2 CS2, can you please tell me jitter you have on that hookup ? Just curious. Thanks !

Does this require a T-Mobile Business Internet account to use?

I love you! Have we tested this with Verizon also?

You should probably start the video telling people it's a $700 unit😮

Have you been able to look into the trident Chester Tech sells? Thanks

I have the Verizon home internet the newest box on my service it's fast down load and slow upload it's like 200 down where I live . But it's at a non approved location. Up the street at the approved location I have it sat at its expretremly fast down load and up load also I'm in a apartment building on back of the building . I feel if I could use that system you have outside I would get extremely fast up and down . But does the newest home gateway from Verizon have a physical sim or is there a way to hook it up to where it would work on that system u have just wondering . At the approved location it's 500 to 600 down and 450 500 upload....

Hi there Nater, apparently T-mobile wants mt speeds to be near to 75 gbps down and 15 gbps up. It is a far cry from where I started at 400 down and 40 up. I spent two week with T-mobile on this subject, they even sent me a new gateway (the one with the SIM card) If this is the awesome 5G network, I am not impressed. I have consistent 4 bars good signal strength. No one at T-mobile can explain my speeds other than it that is my new normal.

From the Waveform guy over on Reddit: "Just want to add a quick note here: only 2 of Elsys's antennas are actually directional. So while those two ports have decent gain figures, the other two antennas are omnidirectional. Given that n41 is 4x4, you're losing out on all the gain on two of the downlink paths with an Elsys device versus with our antenna. The best option is probably one of our antennas with an outdoor modem, but those are unfortunately hard to come by."

Tried the AT command to force NSA but my speeds and ping are worse in that mode, switching over to SA gives me higher speeds and better ping. I'm rural, so I hope they upgrade the towers at some point. My current speeds are 300-350 down and 70 up. My ping is around 46m/s

Would it be possible to compare this to the Chester Trident paired with the waveform 4 x 4 panel, both in the attic and outside on your antenna mast? I asked before on another video, now you tested this elys equipment which is quite comparable to the trident actually 🤔 would greatly appreciate the comparison Edit: Reason I ask is that i currently run that very combo with a little 12 inch adapter from the previous gen waveform 4x4 antenna with the n type connector to sma, which goes directly into the trident, which i mount right behind the waveform antenna, curious as to what the difference between my current setup and elys would be

Great testing for us that gives us options……. Question we are on top of a tower that has n41 n71 b2 b66 etc The problem is we sit so far under we have a tree line blocking everything we have (maybe less than a mile) Our Nokia is constantly off line switching back and forth almost unusable I took got a waveform mimo and only connected n71 leads and have good service 70 down 20 up If I hook up the other leads in any combination we have poor n41 and is almost unusable again 10 down in and out and 1.5 up…. That being said it is definitely a line of site issue I have dove into all the video and even the line of site Question before an Elsys investment do u have any thoughts on my situation? Thanks again for all your help!!!!! And all my signal quality is excellent but poor on LTE and constantly changing to poor excellent only on LTE and T-Mobile has sent me 2 Nokia and doesn’t help

Wanted to say another great informative video! A while back I initially watched your video on the waveform antenna, but I never followed through yet. After seeing this, I am very interested in Elsys project. However, I fear t mobile or other providers will try finding a way to make it unusable since it's not their product. Do you think this will be the case? Thank you

Nate, this thing is amazing. Do you recommend connecting the Elsys to the stock T-Mobile Gateway with only WiFi turned on and Cellular off since the Elsys is acting as the Gateway? Thanks again!

I would have love to see you do the search but by now you should know where the tower is. I am on my 4th gateway for T-Mobile so I will be mounting my ELSYS antenna soon. Still working out the bugs on my VPN router.

Hi Nate Steve here from Southern Indiana I've been watching your internet videos since you began and I must say we have certainly come a long way from the beginning I remember in the early going was just happy to get speeds in the thirties or forties on downloads. Now look where we're at. I wonder what the limit will be, as far as wireless internet goes

Thinking about buying one of these to replace my Waveform 4X4 Antenna but can you use the Elsys Antenna as just a regular Antenna without the Built-In Gateway capabilities like you can with a Waveform 4X4 Antenna? Basically what I'm asking is could I hook it up to a Chester Cheetah V2 Gateway/Modem and then use my Mesh Wi-Fi System on top of that? The reason I'm asking is because eventually I'm gonna be Upgrading my SDX65 Chester Cheetah V2 Gateway/Modem to a Chester Cheetah SDX75 Gateway/Modem and I don't think the Chips are Upgradable in the Elsys Antenna's? If I can't do that I'll probably just keep my Waveform 4X4 Antenna.

Does any of the 5G providers have issue with using your own equipment instead of their proprietary equipment?

Excellent video! I love my Elsys AmpliMax Ultra. Currently I just have it on a 20 foot antenna pole but will soon mount on my 65 foot tower. Question for you Nate, is there a way to login to the device remotely, outside of the network?

Wish you could have used the website instead of the app for the speed test to compare loaded pings.

Does Elysis have gps so tmobile knows location? Thanks.

I will be waiting for the same exact placement for the waveform vs Elsys! I'd bet on Elsys, as it seems superior in design, but the antenna could actually be better in the waveform... #2.) Need a BUFFER BLOAT TEST!!!? -- The Elsys buffer bloat; test was ran without those results, but it was on the Waveform. This is hiding crucial useful information to anyone wanting to make a purchase. The Elsys modem may actually handle buffer bloat very well as-is, but that test was ignored by using the non-desktop bandwidth test! 30-minutes more of testing could have accomplished both points above.

nater i wanted to ask you if u could ping server on cmd and see the stability of the elsys amplimax ultra pings

Great video Nater! So... the ELSYS is using the Qualcomm SDx62 Snapdragon chip, which is not the latest as I think Chester is using a SDx75 (surpassing the SDx65 and SDx72 chips). Where is the magic happening in the ELSYS to get these blazing fast 5G speeds???

So I recently purchased this same unit and noticed something odd, when I directly plug into the amplimax from my PC I get 300 down speed but if I go though my router It drops speed to 80 down, have you noticed anything like this?

Good Video ..

I’m assuming that you can connect your WiFi mesh system with this? And would that improve the system as well ?

X62 only?

These videos are great for learning about methods to improve signal strength. The problem for many of us is the severe deprioritization that T-Mobile imposes for hours a day at many locations. It's not that helpful to me that I can tweak everything and get 300 Mbps DL at 5 am when T-Mobile cuts me down to 4 Mbps from 4 to 10 pm.

I bought a waveform 4x4 pro w T-Mobile home. What a difference the performance is! Went from 75/2 mbps down/up to 500/13 mbps with ping times improvement of 60ms to 44ms. Thank you!

Nater, do you have multiple gateways for testing purposes or is there another reason? Do you have a Starlink antenna as well?

Awesome review! Do you think the modem can stand up to upwards of 120F ambient temperature? In the summers where I live it gets that hot (and humid!!) for a few days of the year.

I can’t do send-at-command

If you have an MSIE, you are out of your league when dealing with a CCIE.

Where have you been gainfully employed in Enterprise Network Engineering? Everything you have done on RU-vid is from your house. What certifications do you hold, any? It seems that everything you present are from a Windows, Phone, home perspective. It looks as if all of your experience is from a Windows perspective. Maybe you work on the network side of Windows on your job. You definately do not work. With layers 1,2,3. You only know layer 4,5 of which in a Windows environment is very unstable. Networking to Microsoft has always been an after thought. I.e. Windows 3.2 was the first MS thought of it when Xerox invented it 20 years earier and was running on IBM's corporate network before you were born.
