Thanks Nater for sharing you deep knowledge and show your viewers actual apples to apples tests. I find it amazing how much I learn from you most of the time in just your ‘side comments’. Thanks. 👍💯😊

[@Howie-wd5oc]

I've been using a MoFi 4500-4GXeLTEV2 for a number years on Verizon's network as a substitute hotspot device with good results. I've been curious about the MoFi 5500 with 5G capability. Thanks for the review, very helpful.

[@dannyboy5191]

Wow, nice explanation!! Well I was looking to upgrade my mofi4500 to the 5500 5g but after watching your video I opted to go with Wi-Fi 6 Industrial LTE 5G NR Wireless Modem Router Bundle Fixed Wireless Access Point Quectel CAT19-RM520N-GL/ Qualcomm IPQ5018 from Chester Tech Repairs.... again, thank you for the video

Nate, you don't mention what sim card you are using in this tests. Is it the sim from the TMo box or one from some other non home internet plan?

[@shanec7227]

Hey Nate…sure appreciate your videos!! Would love to see a review on the Netgear M1 and/or M2!

[@CarolinaBeeKeeper]

I noticed the ping was higher with the non TMO devices. Is this normal? Considering the Chester but was hoping ping would actually improve.

[@brianvandy4002]

A DMZ means that any system that is accessible from the internet are in a separate subnet from the rest of your computers. Then all external traffic is only allowed into that subnet and automatically blocked from accessing any other network. This means while your web server may be hacked, it is much less likely your personal computer gets hacked.

[@profitgee1]

@@raphaelness1239 it has been the best thing I could've done for the service (still not perfect) but miles better than any stock gateway ( I've tried 2 different models) the option for 5G SA alone has given me a ping in the mid teens and double the download bandwidth that I got from the Nokia and Arcaydian.

[@srcrewchief89]

Thank you for this test, it's one I've been curious about. I presume you had both the Mofi and the Chester in the same antenna orientation. I was surprised the Mofi appentently did not aggregate more than 1 lte band. As I recall they advertise that it should aggregate up to 5 bands in lte and 2 in 5g. As someone else pointed out the Mofi was using a different lte band than the other 2. I wonder if that band had a higher traffic load at the time you where running the testing. Looking forward to your next series of tests.

Hey Nate it has been a while. I have this MoFi5500 and using it now. I have a real problem with 5G here. So until T-Mobile gets off of there butts and upgrade here I am stuck with 4GLTE. BUT I am locked to band 2 and band 41 and getting about 100-150 Mbps down and 20 up. I haven't put any external antennas on yet because I found that the 4X4 Yagis were to high because of my elevation here. So they are coming off the 60ft tower down to 15ft. I sat the router outside and even though my signal was low the speeds were better. I also have Starlink but because of the lack of customer service it was a waste of $600.00. I may have been better to used the money for toilet paper. ANYONE thinking about Starlink may want to read more before ordering it. Have a great day everyone....

[@AAtta-3286]

Thanks again Nate for taking the time to show us alternative 5g routers. I keep forgetting to ask you when you report on these routers about the IMEI issues. The T Mobile routers both the Arcadian an Nokia that are being sold on Ebay. Wouldn't the IMEI on those routers have to correspond to the Sim card that I pull out if my original t- mobile router? In other words if I wanted to replace my existing working T-Mobile home internet router with one of those ebay T-Mobile routers wouldn't the IMEI have to match for them to work? There are a ton for sale and was just wondering how they get them to work with an existing Sim. Many thanks again for your informative 5g router videos. Anthony

[@NaterTater]

I should probably check since it isn't that hard but I think T-mobile uses a IMEI range and if so then you could buy a ebay resell of an original TMHI gateway and move your SIM to it. I'll test it.

[@AAtta-3286]

@@NaterTater Many THANKS Nate! Was just thinking of keeping a cheap T-Mobile gateway on hand in case they bungle another firmware update that bricked over 30,000 of their routers a week or so ago. Would love to buy the Cheetah but over $500 is still over my retired limit lolo. Don't know what the T Mobile community would do without you. I've even noticed other KZbin channels tipping their hats to you.

[@JT_No_Money]

I've done exactly this many times already due to various reasons such as breaking a UFL connector on the gateway a couple of times and other things and each time I've just swapped the active SIM that I'm currently using into the newly bought gateway and it's worked just fine time and time again. Surprising considering how guarded they are about using your sim in anything other than the original unit they send you.

[@AAtta-3286]

@@JT_No_Money Much appreciated! You put my mind at ease. I'm think on purchasing a gateway as an extra just in case they send out another firmware update that fries the gateway and it takes a few days to receive a replacement

[@JT_No_Money]

Good idea! I always try to keep a complete spare laying around at all times just in case of any issues. With how cheaply they sell for on Ebay vs what tmobile will charge you if you ever damage one and dont return it (think it was $375 they charged me at the time) if they send you one for warranty or whatever it only makes good sense to keep one around.

[@killabandit]

For the Chester do we have to get a business sim or can I move it out of the ark modem and just stick it in?

[@derail412]

You can move it out of yourTM HI device. The Chester router has a setting to "clone" you IMEI from the TM HI device. I have one and it has changed my opinion if the TM service. I have an external 4x4 MIMO antenna and with the Chester I've been extremely pleased.

[@tolust]

Nate i got the Chester modem per your recommendation, unfortunately im getting the SAME speed average as the stock T-Mobile gateway , around 150- 225meg . Tried to play with the 5G settings, (sa / nsa, uncheck bands, etc.) nothing that I'm doing is increasing the speeds at all, The tower is only 3 miles next to my house and its on my 4th floor window facing the tower. Is there a setting im missing or need to combine , i even have the latest firmware he just released 1.9 . nothing im doing is changing the same speeds as before . I want to hit at least 300+ to make this worth it for me

[@NaterTater]

very interesting, I've alway seen faster even on the same bands. One key benefit is the chester aggregated more bands than the stock tmobile units. What bands are you getting? Use "at+qcainfo" in the at commands to see all of them. You might have to play with them some to find the best combo and sometimes it takes a few minutes for it to aggregate more bands. For example I might get better speeds if I uncheck B66 and force it to use B2 for LTE.

[@NaterTater]

Perhaps if you also pay for the static IP that is an option on t-mobile 5g business internet

[@NaturebyGus]

I understand you mentioned that both were in "stock" mode but to make a fair comparison (apple with apples) between the two routers, we need to make sure both were in the same band and tower, otherwise the speed comparison is meaningless to say that one is better than the other.

[@NaterTater]

I can appreciate that viewpoint and I think its valid if you want to compare a chipset or some specific component of the modem. However for a user they likely dont care what band(s) its on so long as it delivers the performance. These modems have different capabilities so its pointless to intentionally handicap one so that its "fair". For example, if we have a drag race with two cars, one has a 4 cylinder engine and the other has a V8 I'd argue let the V8 run on all 8 cylinders and see how she does. You'd be arguing to have the V8 only run on 4 cylinders so that its "apples to apples". My testing is intended to replicate what type of performance you would see if you place different modems in the same location. The Chester router can and does aggregate more bands together than other ones typically.

[@NONO-hz4vo]

@@NaterTater I think this is a correct assessment of what people would care about. If the Chester uses magic pixie dust to conjure up and extra 100mbps I don't care, the only relevant stats are speed, ping, and reliability.

[@srcrewchief89]

On the MOFI have you tried using the Speed Band Lock utility to scan/lock the best band combinations? It is my understanding that it can scan and lock the best band signals for you. that my get it to actually use carrier aggrigation.

[@NaterTater]

I havent but I will mess with that

[@srcrewchief89]

@@NaterTater From what I've gleened from others that do have the MOFI5500 series routers leaving the band selection wide open verses locked greatly reduces it's speed. My reading between the lines is that the firmware will spend extra time hunting across all available bands degrading performance. I only found one review (EZ COM??) that suggested using the Speed Band Lock function to find and lock the optimal local bands. Hope that you're able to see improvements when experimenting with various setting changes.

I would love for you to review and compare the Inseego FX2000 that TMobile offers on their Business 5G internet side.

Im considering buying the Chester unit but would love to get the Inseego running at peak performance so I don’t have to spend the extra money

[@chadmcallister320]

The FX2000 can be set as a gateway, so if you have a firewall device, you can use it instead. The Arcadyan does not offer this. However, the antennas in the FX2000 are tiny compared to the Arcadyan and my speeds were much lower. Don't be fooled by the external antenna ports on the FX2000 -- if you are in the US, they are not useful for anything.

[@NaterTater]

exactly Chad!

[@MitchellH79]

@@chadmcallister320 i knew the external antenna ports are advertised to not work with T-Mobile’s bands, but I did not realize the internal antenna’s are smaller than the Arcadyan’s. Thats very helpful to know. I’ve actually been getting similar speeds when connected directly to the devices (sometimes even faster on the FX2000), BUT i do have a separate router & then switches connected to the gateways. It has worked great with the Arcadyan but when I connect my existing stuff to the FX2000 i get substantially slower speeds at that router & all items down the chain from it. For example i typically get around 100-200 Mbps up / 15-30 Mbps down at the FX2000 but less than 10 Mbps when connected to my router. I have both gateways set up as they came from Tmobile. I would think if the FX2000 is having this issue then the Arcadyan would too. I do like the options the FX2000 offers & the fact that it’s free but am considering the Chester device.

Seems while there is plenty of 4G stuff, while 5G is still pretty far and few between. I'd like to have myself: A) A good outdoor 5G modem with at least a 1Gb Ethernet and/or fiber port (for antenna pole mounting et al). B) A good basic stand alone tabletop (w/optional wall mount) 5G modem. With NO Wi-Fi on them at all. I hate that they put Wi-Fi on them, I'd rather they be focused on great 5G firmware with a lot of configuration, channel locking, etc., to a single Ethernet WAN output. Could have limited extras, doesn't even need a DNS, etc. Sort of like how you can buy a lot of cable modems this way. Let your router handle the routing. With external SMA antenna jacks, w/MIMO 4X4 support. And somewhere around a $500 USD price point. Can always add as good as an external router that you want to buy. Could be a Wi-Fi mesh setup or just all wired, etc., the modem is more of a constant, separate device. Maybe there is already good option here, I can't find one without Wi-Fi though. Yea can just turn off the radios, but then if I'm already shelling out $1200 that seems a bit overpriced and I'd rather pay a bit less if the Wi-Fi part makes any difference. This technology is out there. Maybe I/we could make our own using an Open source phone, with Open source firmware. Add 4X SMA antenna connectors and a single RJ45 WAN output and put it in a metal box with a fan. Or maybe just using one of the Snapdragon development boards, but they are not cheap. Need microwave level test equipment though. My scope is only 20Mhz 😛

Question: will a router help mitigate or even prevent latency issues when using T-Mobile internet? Connection is strong, speeds are decent BUT when gaming I have terrible lag spikes filled with packet loss. Before I spend more money, curious if anyone knows if hardware will fix it. Cheers.

@Nater Tater True, but the focus is always on improving bandwidth and never on what's the best way to increase ping.
