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

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.

Same thing happen to me! But luckily I was able to get a one time credit of $335! =] no monthly credits for me 👍

Lucky you! I was told that I need to open up a voice line with T-mobile business in order for them to have some flexibility to give me a credit for Tab S7 5G FE.

What kind of iPad? I'm getting the normal speeds that I see for 5G in my area on a 6th-gen mini. I know there was talk that these plans might be deprioritized or at least start at a different tier than most phone plans (except maybe Essentials), so I could believe that on LTE it could feel a lot slower than a phone in the same area if there's congestion afoot. I'm running their Home Internet which is the lowest priority out there, but getting similar speeds on 5G there, too.

The cheapest option I've come up with is: Old 4G phone $30, EasyTether app $10, GL.iNet travel router $30. Works great.

The router's really independent though. Doesn't matter if you have T-Mobile, Xfinity, Starlink, or anything else for your service provider. Your WiFi router or mesh system needs to match the size and configuration of the space you're covering with WiFi. So I wouldn't really consider "powerful router - $200" as part of the equation when comparing ISPs.
Why do you need the EasyTether app? Also the GL.iNet router for $30, is that the Mango?

how do you tether an android phone to a TP-Link Deco? Is there a TP-Link Deco model that accepts USB input?

Native phone tethering would use your limited hotspot data. EasyTether uses your unlimited on-device data. GL.iNet has a great guide [gl-inet.com] on setting up EasyTether for their routers.

Yes, the Mango [amazon.com] is the $30 router.

I'm not aware of a way to tether a phone directly to a TP-Link Deco like you can to a GL.iNet router.

So you tether the phone to some intermediary device that supports USB tethering, and then connect that intermediary device via Ethernet cable to your router of choice (TP-Link or anything else).

What is the "intermediary device"? A GL.iNet router would work. But in my case, I wanted to run a VPN and found the processing ability of the router to be a bottleneck. (VPN encryption/decryption is processor-intensive.)

I had an old (like 12 years old) ThinkPad laptop lying around running Windows 10, so I decided to use that as the "intermediary device". You install the EasyTether driver for Windows [mobile-stream.com] to tether the phone to the laptop, wire the laptop to your router via Ethernet cable, and then share your tethered network connection over Ethernet [tomshardware.com].

The VPN runs on the laptop. Even a 12-year-old laptop is more than sufficient for VPN processing.

A simpler approach is to just tether the phone to a router that supports USB tethering (most GL.iNet routers, for example). And that works great as a travel setup. But in your house you don't necessarily want to be limited by the WiFi coverage of a tiny travel router. The approach I described above allows you to choose any WiFi router or mesh system you like.

An option I'm thinking is a rooted 5G phone, run the VPN on the phone and USB Tether it to the Mango, and then connect that to the Ethernet.

Since the VPN will be running on the phone and not on the mango, shouldn't that get high speeds or will the mango still be a bottleneck?

Yes, I had that same thought and tried it, with EasyTether rather than a rooted phone. The GL.iNet router (mine's a Slate) was no longer a bottleneck, but I found the connection through the Slate was very unstable. But my problem may have been something specific to my setup, and you're not using EasyTether, so it's definitely worth a try!

The listing is a bit incorrect as there is no 2 year contract with TMHI and also, this setup will only see a fraction of the speed TMHI is capable of (800 mbps or so with 5G UC tower).

That said, it will work with this plan.

Is it due to the mobile broadband router (model # TM-RTL0102) only can handle 600Mbps Max?

Its because its LTE only, which is much, much slower than 5G UC.
You will probably see 20-50mbps on that setup. You would be incredibly lucky to ever pull 100 mbps on that setup.
