  1. Call first or go to the AT&T corporate store nearest you. Ask for the stand alone iPad plan for $20 a month with unlimited data. It was originally designed to be an add on to single line phone plans but is simply usable with only an IMEI and a credit check. I just used the IMEI of the iPad they had in the store. If this does not work Best Buy may have this option. If you also like, Jim over at LTEfix knows a guy that can help you out. The mobley option is now unattainable, the unlimited RV plan is toasted, and the new connected car modem plan is like 30 or 40 bucks stand alone. This is the way to go if you do not have post paid service already and If you do, well I believe you can just add an iPad line like this.
  2. https://dcp2.att.com/OEPNDClient/ It is a 30 day unlimited data session. You can setup autopay. 22Gb deprioritization. 35 bux plus taxes, fees.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk>ATT Tablet plan(Post paid is 20/mo prepaid is 35/mo)>\ EdgeRouterX>Your Router Spectrum Router>/ This is your easiest, most affordable, off the shelf and mobile setup.
  4. Lots of streamers, camgirls, gamers and news reporter types require a consistent upload to acquire max stats and venmo creds.
  5. T-Mo and VZW hold the 850 licences here and there are no small cells yet. I am also in a T affiliate market. Even though HTC participated in just about every spectrum auction recently, they don't seem inclined to put it to use.
  6. lol they aren't. They have been like this for 2 years now, my mono pole got band 2 slapped on and they are using one rrh for two sectors; they just upgraded like 6 sites along the main tourist drag and called it tony the tiger. If they are 70% done with FirstNet, then surrounding areas better be at 150%.
  7. My area is covered in these. Bands 2/12 LTE band 2 HSPA.
  8. Are you still seeing 3G from these sites, and what bandwidth and frequency are they using?
  9. https://ltehacks.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=74&sid=642c2c561cccbaca4bb81644f1158dbc This should get you acquainted with the basics of building. I don't know how far along you are in your quest so I always start at the beginning. This thread a couple blocks over has some pictures of what other folks and I have put together so far.
  10. You can switch devices. Just call Sprint Business until you get a rep that will do it. I did it like 3 years ago with a reseller line. I switched from a netgear hotspot to the 6100D router, if you need something off the shelf get the 5G hub or the CradlePoint CBA850. The cradle point will take a lot of different radios, you don't have to by their proprietary versions that are just upmarked and rebranded Sierra Wireless, Telit LTE cards. If you want to build your own you can do a few things, if you need examples from the group here I will go first, I use a custom built Mediatek H721 board dual m.2, dual mPCIe, dual sim, 4xGb Lan with an Quectel EM20G Cat. 20 LTE-A Pro 4x4 MiMo radio as main, and a Quectel EM12G Cat 12 LTE-A 2x2 MiMo radio as as load balance/failover. I have 2 mPCEi WiFi 3x3 MiMo radios in it, both on 5GHz. T-Mobile as main, AT&T as spillover. This runs a unique version of Rooter firmware. The coax from the radios goes 2x MHF4 to SMA Female 5">SMA Male to 7/16 DIN male 2.8'> 1x Kathrein -19dB 1.7-2.7GHz 5' tall tower antenna. The main one is a really big antenna. The other two antenna plans go x MHF4 to SMA Female>SMA Male to N Male 5'> WiFIX -15 dB 1.7-2.7GHz This is three antenna, all dual port or Xpol. 2 for radio one at 4x4 MiMo and 1 for radio two at 2x2. This build is super versatile. The EM20g does not have a public release yet, so yeah. All I can say is it is amazing. I get Bands 2/4/5/66 on T-Mobile for download and bands 2/5 for Upload. It lacks band 71 in the sample I obtained, but 7x carrier aggregation so whatever. The EM12-G is really nice as well, decently priced and has all of Sprint's bands and 3x aggregation down x 2x up. My other build is a Cradlepoint CBA850 router. These are nice if you do not like to tinker much, proprietary software, but if you want modern updates it is software as a service now. I plugged a Telit LM960 Cat. 18 4x4 MiMo radio into it, changed one setting and it showed up as their branded and overpriced version. You can also do this with Sierra Wireless LTE cards like models EM(M.2) or MC(mPCIe) 7455, EM7565 and EM7511. The Telit card I use with AT&T, I have used this card with Sprint, but it just roamed on to T-Mobile, because Sprint's network is rough in our area. I also have the basic girl T-Mobile home internet box and a few other off the shelf solutions and smaller builds floating around. If you really just want a weekend project a raspberry pi or ZBT WE826-T router works, with a USB sled hauling an LTE radio plugged into some cheapo omnis. About 120 bucks and it would probably beat the coolpad any day.
  11. What is your carrier, budget and what do you hope to achieve?
  12. https://imgur.com/JNFOTZD It was down in the generic firmware bin.
  13. LoL he just gonna say no or band 41. Instead of sending you to some clunky FCC web interface here is a list of some FCC certified FDD and TDD combos for domestic; https://imgur.com/ivgtT3h and international certified use. https://imgur.com/a/JBQkly6 On an X20 modem.
  14. Great question. I will look! I can grab the 960 off the roof and go get some screens on a modernized site with ATT aggregation on upload. I also have a cat20 m.2 chip to test as well with AT&T. A bit smaller form factor. Either way it will be coming to phones and is already active on networks. I get 2+5 upload on the cat 20 with T-Mobile now.
  15. So far my LM960 is on point in the CBA850 easy enough. You just have to plug it in, change the SIM setting from MULTI to SIM 1. It will appear as a branded device in the config menu and then you can pass data.
  16. Since then and now, many of his largest investments have soured quite a bit. He is still doing well in many areas in Asia, but after blowing through all those Saudi petrodollars in a year he is having a hard time finding more gas stations to invest in what appears to be his version of hookers and blow two point 0. He may not want to pay them anymore, or he may sell some more Yahoo Japan or Alibaba stock to cash out and take them private. You never know what foreign billionaires will do next, let alone the ones we have here. Charlie Ergen made a website about this whole thing beginning with the Sprint sale; lamenting foreign money absorbing domestic companies. Now he is taking the stand for another group of billionaires that will all work for Masa. It's a clown world.
  17. Aayyyy Team UDP. If you guys are using a cradlepoint router, but want to just use a plain old sierra wireless card and not their proprietary version of the EXACT S A M E LTE CARD, there is a real simple fix. There is an at!command for that! Want your 75$ ebay MC7455 to show up as a nice expensive MCLP300(CP version and model number)? Dial into your card via your favorite at! terminal. Make sure you plug in the boss command, at!ENTERCND="A710" Then . . .. Wait for it . . . At!usbproduct="MC7455-CP" reboot that thing and enjoy your now CradlePoint qualified Sierra Wireless card. Don't pay someone to do this when it is just a command. Have a great week frens and stay free out there! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
  18. Build your own or pick up the HTC 5G hub.
  19. Yes they absolutely do make combos on other devices though. From the Telit LM960 AT! command guide page 253/256 with the AT&T firmware equipped; 2ULCA: 2A-12A, 2A-5A, 4A-12A, 5B Pretty sure those are all FDD bands sir. This is the SDx20 which is pretty common now in many handsets and routers. There is a minimum one of these in every police cruiser in my county on Firstnet. This is just on the first batch model. I expect the further United States certified model A18 to incorporate band 14/71 in the upload CA combos as well now that firmware is available for all carriers. The Five Gee capable FN980 will also allow band 14 HPUE with the newest amplifier.
  20. He really is. Mike's pleasant work is in every device on our account that isn't a ToS non compliant router; constantly getting fresh updates. I really enjoy his app.
  21. Those speeds are so great. Man, I remember back in 2015 all of us fantasizing about how awesome this would be while simultaneously lamenting that it probably wouldn't happen until like 2020 because Sprint. Here we are. Glad to see someone finally "flipped the switch" on this amazing software and you were able to enjoy it and get great samples user @Terrell352. This is what Denver needed to keep speeds up. Let's hope it spreads on the network quickly!
