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 could turn Wifi off on my Arcadyan KVD21.
. Its old and the wifi has been limited. Others say its a better router compared to Cudy. Cudy X6 is currently $63 with coupon
I work from home and I need a reliable internet connection so not sure if relying on the $10 sim is a smart move.
I'm currently testing out OPNSense on a SFF pc with a 4 port NIC card. I like it so far for the multi WAN and failover features, but the only issue I'm running into is changing the TTL doesn't seem to hide the hotspot usage. Both OPNSense and pfSense have a min TTL option. In OPNSense you can change this from the UI. I tried values from 65 thru 69 and they they all show up as hotspot data when connected directly to the KVD21. So I'm currently still using the Asus RT-AC68 as a intermediary. I also tested OpenWRT on the SFF pc and was able to set the TTL to 66 and it successfully hid the hotspot usage.
Connecting to it either with WiFi or with Cat6 ethernet cable directly in a Win11 PC gives a speedtest.net speed of around 500Kbps.
Similarly with WiFi in a Samsung S21 phone.
BUT
When connected thru the TTL modified Cudy X6 router that's hard wired to the KVD21 with a Cat6 ethernet cable, the WiFi speeds are over 400Mbps with the S21 and over 200Mbps with the Win11 PC.
So, it seems that T-Mo MAY have done something here with these $10 Sims used on other devices.
Without the TTL modified Cudy X6 router the $10 Sim is useless with the KVD21, and perhaps other similar devices.
I'll try to test again at the beginning of the billing cycle just in case usage is a factor here.
If anyone has noticed something similar lately with the KVD21, or any other device, and/or has any insights please chime in.

Debating whether to sell the KVD21 on ebay or keep it for now as backup. Also, I am paying the $10 a month for the sim which I barely use but I know I should keep it because its such a good deal
- I see it gives router free for 2 years, so you just ship it back to them at end of 2 years?

Yes it does give you better upload speed , but does that matter? Yes, you have to return the router when you are done with their service or the promo and want to sign up again in someone elses name

After the billing period reset and so the hotspot reset to the allowed 10GB, the KVD21 WiFi hotspot speeds went back to normal, around 200Mbps vs the 200Kbps after the KVD21 sim hotspot was used up in the previous billing period.
Just have to make sure no devices accidentally auto-connect to the KVD21 WiFi hotspot, and all connect to the TTL modified Cudy X6 WiFi.
So, can rest easy that T-Mo has done nothing here with these $10 Sims that are used on other devices besides the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.
One note, sometimes during the day, speeds can get well below 100Mbps up/down, around 50Mbps-70Mbps, probably due to network congestion, but most of the time they are between 100Mbps and 400Mbps, depending on the device used, Samsung Galaxy cell phone faster or older Win11 PC slower, etc. Older Win11PCs are slower but newer ones are very fast just like the new Samsung Galaxy cell phones, S21, S22, S23. Most likely WiFi 6 is a factor here, as older Win11 PC do not have it.
That's the drawback of using cellular internet vs Fios or cable hard wired connection.
Fios can give the same speed up or down, for instance 200/200Mbps, etc., but cable does not, usually giving 1/20th of the down speed going up, 200/10Mbps.
