Yes, You can copy the imei of a device. You have to do this for services to work.

You can also lock towers and bands you wish.

It was great but I returned mine because Tmo home internet is so unreliable.

Can this router work with Verizon as well? I'm currently using a Netgear LTE modem that's not listed to work with Verizon but works great, would like to upgrade to 5G.

Agree with the x62 vs x65. The x62, at least in the Inseego FX3000 (failover dual sim), can only do CA 2x when in LTE/5G mode, in which case it prefers to connect to b2 or b66 and n41, but if you put it in 5G Only mode, in NSA or SA Only modes, it will only connect to n71 (slow). I did some searching last night and that seems to be the safe of the x62 in general; it will only CA LTE+5G, not 5G+5G bands.

You can get an Inseego M3100 (Verizon x65) on eBay for about $180ish, sometimes lower if you keep an eye on them, and then use hotspottoolkit for $40 to magic it, if you're looking for a hotspot or USB C powered modem with ethernet port on it. It also supports mmWave, in case you're going to use Visible+ and happen to live within eyesight of a tower with mmW.

Something like that... Don't forget TTL/HL.

I'd stay away from Sierra Wireless, don't think I know of anyone who's made their own system using them. Netgear's hotspots use them and they're buggy af. Here's a guide to a DIYing your own Invisagig cellular modem using a Quectel RM520N-GL (x62), although it apparently works with a 521 (x65) too... Not sure it's worth your time and hassle though, since there are a ton of other great options out there nowadays that are cheaper. https://github.com/iamromulan/que...tion-notes
Inseego M3100 (Verizon x65) doesn't have T-Mobile bands?

Don't think so.

This has been this price for a while on Amazon Business account.
I considered one but built my own kit with the newer RM521 X65 modem(3CA vs 2CA) for the same price.
How? RM521 module alone costs almost as much on aliexpress

It does, although maybe not all of them are enabled. I have one and it connects to Tmo no problem, although I haven't been able to use mine with hotspottoolkit yet due it it being on too old of a firmware, and apparently you can only update it with a post paid Verizon SIM card. The dev of the hotspottoolkit thinks, if some bands are disabled, he'll be able to re-enable them, but he's been busy with another project recently.

I can get rm521 + RJ45 for abt $225 but "kinda" useless if you dont have a router and you still have to program and limp along
Are you talking about MR5210 board?

RM521 alone costs about an X3000

Hmm spent a lot of time yesterday but didn't see a 185$ price for RM521. Found one shipped for about 210 with a store of questionable reputation.

Did find a fully assembled box with RM520 for 225 shipped. I guess that's the one I am settling with.

Interesting. This will be a project I am waiting for. Also waiting for the project to enable Netgear M6550 bands on M6500.....hoping one of them comes through soon.

Careful which kit you get. "The cheap ones are only USB, even the m.2 ones and you want one that uses PCIExpress for the data bus or you'll never speeds much over 100 mbps.​"

If you can track down an MR6400 (Dish) and downgrade it to the old firmware, it supports a ton of bands, just like the 6550/6450.

Thank you. seems my kit is indeed PCIExpress and this is already way to much work to find a good 5G failover option sigh

Sigh thank you. After moved to a much smaller city, my options are quite limited. Can't seem to find a used Dish version at all Frown
