Just an FYI if you're just getting this for the "free" tablet. The tablet is a Galaxy A7 lite which only costs $200 ($129 on Amazon)

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
Some people don't live in a house.
Not on the "free" tablet, lol. In all seriousness, don't choose the plan with TE in the title as that one is tax exclusive (you have 2 choices)

soc code ZB10HSTI is the one you want.

recommendations/links for FreshTomato router ?
I'm using a Netgear R7000 router (bought used) and flashed FreshTomato on it. You can go to the FreshTomato site and look at the list of supported routers.

Someone mentioned Asus routers has the ability to use USB Tethering by default. I don't have any recent Asus router while my old one has Merlin flashed on it and I'm using it as an AP.

How is native hotspot on Tablet, I know limited to 10 GB/month but is it full speed? (without youtube/netflix/etc. cause those are throttled)

I havent received my tablet yet, I am unable to sign up for an account either. So since the promo has ended, will it be a risk asking T mobile to convert from TE to TI and ask for free tablet promo?
Do you have your phone number yet? For me it was in an email called "Activation Confirmation ..... ECOMM ... New Activation"

Search your inbox for "Activation Confirmation" email and look for Phone number, for it was next to Rate Plan.

I could only register/view my account at normal T-Mobile but some people have it opposite lol, they can only register/view their account on T-Mobile Business account. I can't register at T-Mobile Business website, it keeps saying waiting for creation, wait for 24-72 hours. I see T-Mobile Business website still showing A7 Lite tablet for free though, I don't think promo has ended.

I don't think the promo has ended for free tablet. It's up to you. I saw in terms for TE plan that there is $1.50/month fee, think like admin fee, I can't find it right now. And sales tax on top, I don' t know exactly how much it will be for you.

How are you planning to get the second sim for TI? Call, store or anyway way to do it online?
I'm most likely going to call. There's a few phone numbers being posted in this thread. The one that I used (and got an agent who knew about both versions of this promo plan right away) is:

I may have missed this in one of your posts. If I am using one of my Inseego hotspots, I can most likely use the native USB tether feature to connect to my Mango router to try to use "tablet" data instead of hotspot data, right? EasyTether is only needed if I am trying to tether an Android phone or tablet to the Mango router?

(I still can't get my T-Mobile customer account set up, and the T-Mobile business account seems to be lacking the better details of data/hotspot usage.)

Correct. Easytether is only for when the SIM is in the tablet/phone, tethered to a router. SIM in the hotspot tethered to a router should be native (at least I know this for the Mango).

0. Understand. Even when you work around this (480p streaming max), throttled all the time plan (about 1.5Mbs) and before more throttling when 'priority' runs out, into 600Kbps (0.59Mbs) SLOW then no VPN/Encryption, nor changing devices (IMEI's whatever) will then keep their Deep Packet Inspection from tagging you (by patterns) and eventually shutting you down during your so called "priority". One way or another. Or anything else they deem abuse; such as... The entire industry is secreting detecting and banning bittorent/downloading' because it MIGHT be used to get shows, etc. People are getting warning letters now.

Whatever else T-Mobile bans or doesn't by their whim then you will not continue to get over their 480p speed here. And the taking time to inspect your patterns could be called bait and switch; as you will not get unlimited high speed ultimately.

This is that lack of 'net neutrality'! And see; it is over pricing fast internet. What is your alternative competition?

STOP! 1. Two years payment up front is required, with bad throttling actors. They do not have to keep you in "priority" and have been known to cut you off. With the tablet You lose 2 years of payments if you leave.

2. They can change their already draconian TOS and customers can not. It has already been proved; that they do not just throttle because of congestion. And wireless does get congested and their terms let them be irresponsible cherry picking customer who don't use much.

Look the TOS is one sided. Theirs. And this let's them shut you completely off, and without a refund if they want. Though T-Mobile might try to be less evil; it's the same combined monopoly lack of competition. The fallacy is thinking no company in telecom would fail customers. LOL. That's why we need competition, not numerous vendors pretending their new cells and cables prove a free market. It's not.

3. Banks will not do a chargeback for these type plans. They require proof of statement from a professional, in the telecom industry to even consider your chargeback or any proration at all. -Neoslick

Would your suggested setup not cause a throttling pass 10GB?
I suggest a setup similar to the following article (you do not need to change the IP settings in the Preparation section of this article if you can log in to the router page as shown in Method 1)

https://netosec.com/tethering-mob...e-network/

With that, you will not be throttled as reported here,

Sure, it will work. But would it be better if we use USB tethering from a dedicated mobile hotspot to a powerful wifi router?

Looks like a good solution would be using the free mobile hotspot from T-Mobile and this $35 T-Mobile ASUS router

https://slickdeals.net/f/15692518-t-mobile-asus-tm-ac1900-dual-band-wireless-router-open-box-for-34-99

Total spending on hardware: $35 (+ tax )
Monthy data plan cost: $10 or $5 (+ tax/fees)

What does tether A7 to the Mango mean?

I signed up earlier this week for their $50 home internet service to try out for a month ($50 VISA gift card covers the first month supposedly). When I went to order it the CSR also tried to sell me this $10 plan with the "free tablet". Funny thing is this is supposed to be for a business account which the website says isn't available in my area? Or at least business internet isn't. I politely declined.

I think they install and use easytether app on A7 tablet and then connect using usb cable (one end in A7 tablet and other in Mango router).

Mango router then takes internet connection and rebroadcast it or you can use Ethernet cable to connect it to your existing home router. Like now your whole home running on mobile data from A7 tablet
