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.

That's interesting. I haven't tried going past the monthly allocation on pure Wi-Fi hotspot usage on my M2100. I've only tried going past 10GB using the M2100 in USB-C tethering mode.

(I don't have access to my online t-Mobile detailed data usage stats because I have an EIN/business login and cannot use the non-business login.)
I did stream a movie once near Coronado at the campground. speed was over 600... I don't even bother to set up my Starlink. :p I don't see any hotspot usage.

Although, when I was at Carpenteria SB, there was no signal at all... so I had to set up my Starlink.

Are verizon M2100 unlocked by default, or we have to look for unlocked ones specifically?

Good question... no idea. I bought a used verizon version from a reputable seller on eBay with a return policy..

here is the link:-

It works without any hack and TMo doesn't recognize it as a mobile hotspot device.... so kinda a win for me.

I know nothing of connecting the TMOHS1 to an external router. But if you apply the root/hack for that hotspot, it pulls native data in case you weren't aware of it. Info/links in this post to the rooting steps:

What device does your TMOHS1 show up as on your t-mobile account? Thanks.

Kinda surprised that M2100 can go over 600 without N41. Curious if you can see which band it connects to typically.

68 for just the Gateway or that is a general recommendation for hotspot (Franklin T9 and TMHO1) as well?
Just for router connected to gateway. The hotspot needs 64 (or 65 for router connected to hotspot)

Wow, that's expensive. You can do almost half that by doing trash can gateway and Cudy router. But yours is easier to set up

I've bought from that seller before and he's reputable

Beyond playing with it for a few days awhile ago, I haven't used this hotspot so I can't look it up on my account. That being said, there's nothing done to change the identity of the TMOHS1 with the mod so I'm sure it would show up as the TMOHS1.

fwiw, I've moved to using Cudy LT450 or LT500 routers as they're much more practical for daily use, cheap (~$70 used), and easy to change TTL as well as imei although latter not needed for T-Mobile. In a good signal area, I see 50+ Mbps down and 20+ Mbps up with the Cudy routers which is more than usable for me given the price of the routers.

In the first step, "Once SSH is enabled, place this file in /etc/init.d/set_ttl"

Does it mean we create a file name "set_ttl" and put it in /etc/init.d/ ?

I did that via Mac terminal, I change ttl to different values but when I ping it "ping 192.168.0.1", it always shows ttl 64, doesn't seem changing ttl at all.

You sure it doesn't count as hotspot with your T9? I tried many times and check using T-Mobile app, it shows using hotspot data whenever I use T9.

Any help/advise would be appreciated. TIA
Yes you create the sett_ttl. I haven't been able to login my account to check hotspot usage but I've gone way over the 10gb limit. I also tested with an unlimited att data voice plan with no hotspot feature and the T9 has no problem hotspotting off that sim. So that tells me the TTL setting convince the carrier that the data is coming from a "phone".😂

Which router? How did you set it? I assume this is over the ethernet port?

Well, I want it to be portable as well. I regret I forgot to bring & test it when I did a one-month euro trip. Iphone + TMo kinda sucks. I have switched back to Google Fi... pretty sure I can still use the device for Google Fi.

Damn. Max speedtest I can get out of it is 70MBps with a TTL of 68, connected to my Asus. But I can now get Nok 5G21 ethernet ported to my AC-68U to pull unlimited, but only around 70MBps. I know that it can do faster, as my hotspot bucket on the same device came in at 200MBps directly before expiring.

I'm going to tinker with some different TTL's and see what I can find still.

I think it's more the bands. Even when I directly connect to 5g21, I get the same speeds. I know n I've gotten twice the speeds on band N41. It's currently just connecting to the 70 something one
