From this post
The multiple ways of using this $10 line for home internet are:
1. T-Mobile Gateway + Cudy N300 or X6 which are wifi only routers to mask hotspot usage with TTL set on the external wifi router. You can use other wifi routers for this purpose but there's a menu page in the Cudy routers which makes setting TTL easy - Courtesy waterchange
1.1 Cudy router like Cudy LT500 or LT18 or the 5G P8 work as a single device with modem + wifi router. Work well for home internet. Nice thing about the Cudy modems is easy TTL (and imei magic if necessary). - Courtesy waterchange
2. M2100 hotspot device - Hit or a miss - native out of the box but less reliable
3. Orbic 5G hotspot device - more reliable than the m2100, however some people have reported throttling after 1st couple of months
4. Gateway + Project Genesis - works most reliably
5. TMOHS1 - ~ 30-50 mbps out of the box, no TTL update required
6. Tmobile Franklin - ~30-50 mbps with TTL update - the most reliable as of right now, however limited speed.
7. M2000 won't pull data from anywhere.
8. GL.iNET Spitz GL-X3000NR easier to use than Cudy and better performance but expensive. Great form factor and performance. Presets for T-Mobile TTL settings and advanced cell features like tower/band lock. External antennas.
9. M3000B works out of the box with T-Mobile version. Has battery preservation features and ethernet port. Some users say to switch 5G mode to NSA if the hotspot restarts frequently in your area.
Add/update if you have more/better info.

They will still lock you to a 2 year EIP even if it's free (They'll make a monthly credit to cover the tablet EIP)
Meaning you'd end up paying $10 for 2 years ($240) for a $129 tablet.
So if you're only doing it for the tablet then it's not worth it
soc code ZB10HSTI is the one you want.

Great thread with lots of useful info!
I have read every post and still a bit confused as I am not as tablet savvy as the rest of you. I currently have the ATT $20 unlimited tablet plan with the ATT sim card in a legit unlocked Nighthawk 1100. I can tether laptops, tablets, etc. with no problem, no throttling, and it has worked great. The question is if I get the TM sim and put it in the unlocked Nighthawk, will everything work the same (tethering, etc) as on the ATT? Maybe Dr. Pepper might chime in as he had the ATT plan... Thank you for the help in clarifying.
Thanks

Anyone remember there was an app to like test various video steaming websites like hulu, youtube, etc. I think I saw it on Reddit like an app like that.
Look at screenshots attached, on Fast (Netflix speedtest) app it starts at 17 Mbps and then drops to 1.3 Mbps without VPN
Final 2 images are with VPN
Look at photo attached
If you going in-store to buy, the SOCs (Service Order Code is the technical term used to describe plans and services that are added to customers' accounts within T-Mobile) are
ZB10HSTI for the TI version and ZB10HSTE for the TE version.

Verizon (unlocked) Inseego 8800L hotspot (currently $25-40 on eBay)
- default config with the exception to the admin password and wifi password
Mango Wi-Fi Router ($30 on Amazon - GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2(Mango))
- I changed the default admin password to log in to the router
- I left the default SSID name but changed the default wifi password
- Network Mode: Router (this may be default)
- If it matters, Kernel Version 4.14.63, Firmware Version OpenWrt 18.06.1 r7258...
- I am pretty sure I left everything else default
Steps I took to tether:
- Power on the Mango router
- Power on the hotspot
- After the hotspot completely turns on, I connect the two devices using the (USB-C) charging/data connector on the hotspot to the USB-A port on the Mango router (which is different than the charging port)
- My hotspot presents me with "USB Connection Options" - I select "Access internet (USB only)" or "Access internet (USB & Wi-Fi)" and press "OK"
(each hotspot will act different with a USB device connected; my Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 never presented a prompt, and the USB config setting was buried a few layers in the admin console, which was annoying - tethering didn't work consistently on my Nighthawk in the past)
- After connecting to the Mango router on my iPhone, I log into the router web configuration page (192.168.8.1 if at the default settings). If everything connected correctly, the Mango router should show you a Device prompt in the "Tethering" section allowing you to select a device (eth1 in my case) with a "Connect" button. After pressing "Connect", I see a spinning wheel for 30-60 seconds. The few times I've tried this last night, I lose wifi connection and get automatically connected back to my home wifi. I then manually reconnect back to the Mango router, and my web browser shows that my Tethering is successful and shows a valid IP Address from the hotspot.
Hope this helps others who are interested. I'm getting a Verizon Inseego M2100 5G hotspot in later this month and will probably test out the T-Mobile Magenta SIM in that hotspot for speed comparison purposes but also to check whether the hotspot comes unlocked from Verizon. There is a T-Mobile verison of the Inseego M2100 for about $100 less than the Verizon version, but the T-Mobile version is locked, and the Verizon hotspots _usually_ come unlocked. I have not confirmed whether both M2100 devices have the same hardware and antennas relating to supported 5G bands.
