Just received info from Mofi and the MoFi5500 will be released in April. I should have one for testing in a couple weeks and will have a video up with a comparison to the Insty Connect.

Yeah I have good luck with the mofi so far

O'my goodness, you're absolutely Amazing. I totally appreciate the way you go about clarifying and explaining each step / aspect of what you're doing as well as the needs to do and know. You never make me feel rushed or unintelligent (even though I'm relatively new to basically everything) Thank you for being so patient and informative in all that you do.

It really works people, I am saving 60 dollars a month. Xfinity in my area is 80 and a T-Mobile tablet SIM card is 20 a month. I started with approx 80mbps now down to 40mbps, maybe because I moved it behind my computer, the signal is probably blocked however it is very reliable. I use it for work with wired connection and a VPN with no issues at all. Also wifi for gaming with a switch and have no issues at all, games download fast and online multiplayer works great!

I would recommend the SIM4 version to anyone who plans on using AT&T. I compared the SIM7 version and did tests and found that the speeds on the SIM7 are really poor on all bands (AT&T). I have a video showing my tests comparing the two versions.

Glad to see the update. Weve been using the Mofi Sim 7 on Tmobile data plan since summer when we first saw your video. It works pretty well, better than Roku, lol. Would like stronger phone connection and boost data too, but those combo units are pricey. We use 250G month without any issues so far. Thank you for all your help and suggestions!

I have a SIM4 version, I also have a WeBoost system installed. I placed my WeBoost internal antenna on top of my MoFi 4500 between the two MoFi paddle antennas. My WeBoost has a omnidirectional antenna mounted on the roof of my motorhome. You mentioned connecting the WeBoost to the primary cell antenna port on the MoFi. To be clear, do you mean to take the cable coming out of the WeBoost amplifier and disconnect it from the WeBoost internal antenna and then connect the WeBoost amp output directly to the MoFi primary cell antenna input port? Or do you mean to disconnect the WeBoost external antenna from the WeBoost amp and connect the WeBoost external antenna directly to the MoFi input port (completely bypassing the WeBoost amp altogether). Thanks for clarifying!

Great video. To ensure compatibility, Do I get the Essentials or the Magenta plan for T-Mobile?

I live in the mountains, I am about 500 ft from receiveing 3-4 bars. Once I turn into my driveway we lose signal completely. I ordered mofi 4500 sim7 and now deciding between proxicast or yagi mimo antenna. Will these help with getting signal to our house or should I also invest into a booster? I guess I'll try first with the yagi antenna to see if I get any signal? Thank you so much for your help!

My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. I just purchased a mofi 4500 sim 4 version from Ebay. It's in great shape and works well. I did attempt to put my USmobile telephone sim into the mofi and it didnt recognize it at all. As in no internet. I am strongly thinking of purchasing an AT&T grandfathered plan on Ebay. The seller gets excellent ratings. However I am wondering if AT&T will not allow this to work. Now or in the soon to be future. Thanks for your excellent videos. Very clear and informative!

We made this setup work and it totally works! Thanks for all of your info! Question - we live in our RV and my son is a gamer. With this setup, we don't get great coverage in the back of the RV. We bought a wifi extender but it has to be synced with the Mofi. Is there a way to do this or did I buy the wrong device? Thanks for your help!

Great info! Your tuorials refer to the slot on the front of my MoFi 4500 as being the SIM card slot. Mine is labeled for an SD memory card, the SIM slot on my SIM 7 model is on the left side between the LTE antenna and WiFi antenna connectors. Are some models different than others, or should I somehow plug the SIM into the SD memory slot?

Hi! We are buying a house in rural WV and will need internet before the InstyConnect will be available. We know there is good AT&T service at the new house but are not current AT&T customers. I was planning on switching my phone from Verizon to AT&T. What plan do you suggest I get to be able to achieve the best internet? Thanks!

[markmccoy]

Hello, what materials did you use on your outdoor antenna and where did you source them. Thanks in advance.

What would be best/easiest cellular router to set up and use for a novice, a beginner in the world of networking?

Do you know the priority level of the AT&T iPad Unlimited data plan? Using Visible I'm getting 15-30 mbps at times, but often speed tests show about 2mbps even with good signal strength. I think it's throttling due to congestion and I'm wondering if the iPad plan has a higher priority like typical postpaid plans? And btw, what makes the iPad plan qualify as postpaid since it's a fixed monthly charge?
I really appreciate the clarity of your instructions, and especially your willingness to continue to answer so many questions. Thanks.

Thanks for all your videos got the mofi running on a visible sim yesterday first router would never connect to internet mofi network sent another one out worked as soon as I set apn thanks again

[leonie]

Thank you so much..I am in a town that Suddenlink has a monopoly and i am sick and tired of their rates hiking…..thinking of just using phone for my smart tv and my phone…

[michaeladams]

I have a great ATT signal here which mofi would get me best speeds without a outside antenna, the SIM 4 or SIM 7. Have read the SIM 7 is much slower is this correct? Great videos. Thank you

[rickhutchins]

Hello, can you tell me what cable I need to connect from the Yagi to the Mofi? Specifically what ends are needed at each? I am ordering all of the items you have recommended. Thanks
