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.

I have one tethered to a GL.iNet Slate router, with VPN running on the router. I get about 7 Mbps there, limited by the router's processing capability for VPN encryption/decryption.
I have the other tethered to a 10-year-old Windows laptop, which then shares the connection with a TP-Link Deco router. VPN runs on the Windows laptop. I get about 40 Mbps there, which is the max 4G LTE speed at my location. This is a great home internet setup, IMHO.

Thanks for the info
Grab a used m2000 Inseego router and have Rich Hathaway patch the FW and load a customer iemi. On mine, I'm pulling average 650mbps down and 40mbps up. All data shows as device data and the iemi reports to tmobile as a tablet.... Win/win.
P.S. The m2000 is tethered my Asus RT-AX82U. Works like a charm....

I don't have 5G service at my house, so I just have an old 4G phone tethered to my router. Just wondering if a device like the m2000 might provide me any benefit in terms of bandwidth or anything else.

I guess that's a personal decision..... For me having the flexibility, benefits and convenience of the m2000 is why I went that way.... If you have a spare 5g phone great..... If not, investment wise cost will be about the same, hence my decision to go the m2000 route.

You can contact Rich Hathaway.... I worked with him to get my FW patched....

For what you'd need with a tmobile SIM, you'd be looking @ $150.

So if we're not using the hotspot's WiFi router functionality, it seems like the hotspot is like a phone, except it doesn't have a screen and it requires jumping through some hoops to make it work with a tablet plan (custom firmware, IMEI spoofing).
I didn't know if something about the 4G / 5G reception hardware (number of antennas, antenna power) might give the hotspot an edge over a phone in terms of bandwidth or signal reliability. Sounds like you didn't choose it for those reasons though.
Thanks for your reply!
