MoFi 5500 First Look and Speed Tests

Here are the first looks at the MoFi 5500 EM7411 LTE device. I ran some speed tests to compare it to the MoFi 4500 and the Insty Connect.

MOFI5500 models:
MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM7411 $400
MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM7411-DUAL $550
MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM7690 $540
MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM9191-5G-SUB6 $650 to $800

*The EM9191 is the only 5G model at this time.

Good info! Glad to see some stats out there on the new gen mofi tech.

A bit surprised that the insty connect didnt smoke the MOFI but this was very helpful. thanks!

I upgraded from 4500 to the 5500 cat 20 modem model. It made a great difference. Speeds went up on 2.4 ghz from 25-35mbs to 45-55mbs and on 5ghz speeds are between 110mbs to 165mbs. Love this new mofi

[wayneedmondson]

Thanks Jason. Great info! Thanks for sharing :)) Thumbs up!!

[robertnakielski]

Great information. Would like to see more intuitive sessions in the future

[youcantoorv]

Thanks for doing this head to head comparison. I've been trying to decide on a router.

Just curious - what sort of terrain were you running this test from? Rural area or perhaps a national park? Thanks!

[BriNathanCollins]

That's someone with a grandfathered Verizon plan I would actually love to check these out or review sometime.

[straightshooter_yt]

I am considering going to one of these due to living in a rural area. When I go to add a line with Verizon in order to get an extra SIM card, does that line have to have hotspot data included with it or can it be a basic unlimited line? Also, will a Jetpack SIM work?

My brother lives in Poolville, Texas, it is pretty much a dead zone for WIFI internet service. I learned about the MOFI router from you and learned how to set it up from your videos, thank you so much for your concise information!! About 3 years ago I got and setup this MOFI model --- MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM4 V3 he is interested in upgrading to a MOFI5500-EM7690. Do you still use MOFI's or have you gone strictly to the insty Connect? I have seen a few videos on the GL-INET SPITZ X3000 router, do you know much about it? Many thanks!!

Hi, I just received my mofi 5500. It sounds like there is something rolling inside when I move it around. Did this happen for you? Any suggestions on weather I should send it back even if it works for me?
Thanks so much in advance!

[psalty]

How far from the cell tower where you? Was it line of sight or was their any tress? What was the weather?

[LAZBY]

any new settings on the MOFI-4500 with the Visible new network upgrade

[jonthompson]

I just purchased the mo fi 7411 I'm currently using Verizon will that sim card work I will I have to go with a different carrier and does the TTL setting still work so I won't get throttled I live on a boat so this is my only option for wi-fi

[northwestlife_]

I'm seeing great reviews on the MikroTik LHG LTE kit-us, but not much traction on purchases. Any thoughts? I like that the only cable is ethernet. No bulky mimo setup with dual coax cables.

[davidstout]

Does this have the same ttl setting like the 4500?

[Reinna]

I just moved to a rural area and am considering the mofi5500. I work from home zooming all day . Would you recommend this?

[partainfamilyhomesteadoutd]

Does the new 5500 offer the Linux 65 setup like the 4500?

[flakou]

I have a big question. Where I can get an Angel Wings Antenna?

[mgogmaj]

Setting up with your suggested antenna and finding it difficult to find the sms male connector and N female connector with a 50 ohm cable. if possible can you provide links ...Thanks
