First Look: T-Mobile MiFi X PRO 5G Mobile Hotspot from Inseego

[@andrewhilliard3294]

I have this and its doesnt really work. Its so slow to the point that the devices connected cant really access the internet. But i have great coverge so im not sure what the issue is.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Many things impact cellular data performance, here's our guide: www.rvmobileinternet.com/performance

[@andrewhilliard3294]

@MobileInternetResourceCenter I feel like none of those helped. So I bought the hotspot abt a month ago and the first few weeks it worked great then it just randomly stopped working well and became REALLY SLOW. like the speed is .6 lol😂

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Sounds like you hit your data cap on your plan and are being throttled then.

[@andrewhilliard3294]

@MobileInternetResourceCenter I definitely didn't hit my cap. I have a 100 gb plan and I've only used abt 15gb

[@brett6328]

T-Mobile version should be compatible with Google Fi. I use the Inseego M2000 with Google Fi and it works great!

[@hafidulazad6887]

Hi, let me know the WiFi coverage? Like whole house can easily access?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Hotspot Wi-Fi range are generally suitable for about the size of a room.

[@JosephCompnotta]

Hi, this will only work when there is some signal right? I was in deadwood and had no bars on my phone and I have Tmobile would this give me signal for wifi calling and internet service? thanks

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

You definitely need a T-Mobile signal in order for this device to work. We recommend carrier diversity in a mobile internet arsenal to increase your personal coverage map - more: www.rvmobileinternet.com/redundancy

[@LekanB]

Hi Dan... can you confirm that the retail device t-mobile is selling actually has the ethernet port? From their website all they mention is usb-c port. Is the ethernet just in the eval version you received for do they retail versions also have the the ethernet port?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

As far as we are aware - this is a retail unit.

[@shandramcneese1274]

I just received my Inseego5G and yes it does have the the Ethernet Port

[@natet7323]

I have the M2000 and M3000 on unlimited AT&T network. Both devices are really good, however the M3000 is slightly better. You get Ethernet capability, finds 5G a little quicker, and a little faster in mbps speed. I went with AT&T on a really affordable plan and coverage is pretty good. T-Mobile is much more faster….however, for me….coverage is more important than speed. Anyways, you can’t go wrong with either device. I do recommend running the battery down to 10% occasionally.

[@A1Happy777]

Do you have to already have internet to use it? Thanks.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

This device provides an internet connection via cellular. Here's more on hotspots: www.rvmobileinternet.com/hotspots

[@معاذالوصابي-م7م]

Hello, I own an inseego modem, model m2000. What is the reason? When I put it on 5 GHz, the connection is interrupted. The modem turns off and on. What is the reason for this? Is it a defect from the company? Are all the latest versions like this?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

You should contact Inseego for support.

[@AverageGamerz4Life]

Does this work well compared to verizons hotspot? Do you recommend any extenders? Rv. Campsites/state parks.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

The device is nearly identical to Verizon's and performs the same - given similar signal conditions. Here is our guide to improving cellular data performance: www.rvmobileinternet.com/performance

[@jpwillett]

Do you know if this X Pro 5g will do aggregation of the 5g bands like n41 and n71.

[@2PlaysAway]

Hi! I'm switching from Verizon to T-Mobile and bringing my Orbic Speed 5G hotspot device. Is there a big difference in speed with the Inseego MiFi X Pro compared to the Orbic Speed 5G on T-mobile's network? Is it worth upgrading to the Inseego device when I purchase my plan?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

The Orbic Speed 5G is a Verizon optimized device... it's really not suitable for T-Mobile as it's missing key frequency band support such as n71. We wouldn't recommend it. It's also only a X55 modem, whereas the MiFi X Pro is X65 - which is more advanced.

[@2PlaysAway]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Thank you! I ordered the X Pro

[@natek3954]

I’m shopping for a hotspot which will allow me to take multiple Zoom calls a day. Would this device be a good option for me? On average I use 50GB per month.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

If you have a strong T-Mobile signal, perhaps. Many considerations to video conference: www.rvmobileintenet.com/broadcasting

[@xzatech]

Thank you and I would like to know if I could take out the sim out of my T-Mobile 5G home internet "mini-can" and place it in this unit. Having a smaller in size device is the expectation 👍🏾

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

No, the TMHI SIM is locked to the provided device.

[@ivoryhunter597]

Does it have a removable battery?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Yes it does. You can find more information here: www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/inseego-m3100/

[@MorrisLiveProductions]

can you mod it for external antenna

[@sambo1142]

I'm currently using the inseego M2000. Is this an upgrade?

[@roncraft2042]

Yes

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Yes, it's a higher end modem.

[@GRIFF22]

Can this hotspot be purchased unlocked? Can you put the hotspot into modem mode, to connect to a router or mesh product? Thanks

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

As mentioned in the video, there is an unlocked carrier agnostic version coming, and this model has Ethernet out.

[@GRIFF22]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Many thanks. If Inseego release this unlocked, I see it as a direct competitor to the Netgear MR5200.

[@salehal-marri6954]

Hey, is the device if you buy it for cash? I think its price is 264 dollars in t-mobile. Will it be network locked or will it work on all networks

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

It is optimized for T-Mobiles’s network.

[@salehal-marri6954]

I understand from your words that it works on other networks. I applied for the device. All frequencies work in the Middle East Or only works on t-mobile networks Does it work outside of the US? Is it locked or unloked?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

It will be locked if you are buying directly from T-Mobile. You would then need to follow T-Mobile's unlocking process to use it on another carrier.

[@salehal-marri6954]

Thank you so much

[@stevenprieto87]

Hey would the Verizon version be able to connect to other carriers since it has n78 and n257 also mmwave. I'm not sure how it works does n78 work on n60-78? Or would getting a antenna hotspot better if your a truck driver in rural areas

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

I bet there is no voice prompts on that touchscreen for visually impaired individuals

[@greenleaph5145]

Correct. There isn't.

[@CaptBozoe]

When you guys going do that testing?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

A couple rounds of extensive testing have been posted in our member forums.

[@Tmartinez114]

Thanks for the review Dan!

[@robertschulke1596]

No external antenna? No sale. We boondock out beyond the fringe, and the ability to use high gain yagi or dish antennas is a must.

[@gf2e]

With all the new bands, and the MIMO antenna support, I’m wondering how many places an external directional antenna is actually going to improve. Most directional antennas don’t cover any of the newer exotic bands. I like the idea of a waterproof enclosure that I can use to put it on a temporary pole so it’s outside and in the air.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

A modern sub-6 5G antennas covers all relevant bands of the carriers. The problem with hotspots is there is typically only room for two external ports, but advanced LTE and 5G benefit from 4.

[@gf2e]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Nice. It’s quite likely that I was looking at the wrong places. Wide band with decent gain from a single antenna is challenging enough that I’m also kinda pessimistic. I remember when Pringles can antennas were all the rage for WiFi. They were directional, of course, but a lot of them had worse gain than the omnidirectional antennas they replaced.

[@robertschulke1596]

@@gf2e We’re out where if we were 20 miles closer, we’d be able to consistently get 1 bar. Maybe. Very high gain antennas is a must. Then again, we’re trying Starlink RV…

[@gf2e]

@@robertschulke1596 Ahh, yeah, I can see that. I’m in the Midwest where I think it’s generally hard to get 20 miles away from cellular unless you have some very good off road capabilities. I’m going to be spending some time out west next year and wondering if I will regret not having any high gain antennas anymore. Re: long distance, I’m remembering a really nifty thing they did in Australia with 2G. GSM 2G didn’t account for the delay of a signal going between your handset and the tower. This wasn’t a problem in urban areas or even most rural. But in rural Australia, if you had a strong (car mounted most likely) phone, the delay between you and the tower could be high enough that you’d start to transmit during the next person’s timeslot. What they did was design new tower radios that only used every other time slot, and could also figure out that your signal was seriously delayed. Half the capacity per unit of spectrum but, so few people that you wouldn’t need it.

[@alessandrabarskey1284]

This has only limited data. Not good for me. I run out of data very quickly

[@jameskimball9588]

Trying our 2nd Inseego/T-Mobile M3100 unit out and experiencing problems again.😞 The T-Mobile salesperson who helped us with the purchase of the first one suggested I perform a factory reset, but it didn't resolve the problem. Inseego tech support didn't have any suggestions other than to exchange it for another unit through T-Mobile. We just received our replacement unit today and started using it. Within an hour, it completely shut off. We are giving it a few more days to see what happens. If we return this for a refund, then it's back to "square one"... UGGH!

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Bummer to hear.. ours has been working fine.

[@jameskimball9588]

2nd unit still not functioning properly and Inseego has not returned ANY of my emails nor calls since initial contact. Fortunately, T-Mobile allowed me to return it for a full refund. Although the M3000 is relatively new, the salesman at T-Mobile told me they have had numerous problems with the M2000 units as of late and they no longer carry it. NOGO for Inseego... searching for a more reliable manufacturer!

[@manp1039]

your comment leads me to think that maybe your unit was doing a software operating system update and then shut off after completing the update. I have seen other report that they unit had to do at least 2 software updates before it was fully functionally and working properly

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

I wonder if you can hack the damn thing to force frequency band changes, if there's a particular band on LTE or even 5G that is faster than everything else. Because as it stands right now you'll connect to the strongest signal without actually realizing that that strongest signal is probably not going to be the fastest signal.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

For those seeking band selection, it's best to go with a router that has that feature.

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter the problem is trying to find one that actually lets you do it.
