move Home Internet SIM to personal router with external antenna
I am looking to move the SIM out of my Home Internet router to my personal Pepwave router which has an external antenna on the roof. When I tried it gets stuck on assigning IP address
Actually, you CAN use your t-mobile home internet SIM in a non t-mobile modem/router combo. Device blocking has nothing g to do with the SIM card and everything to do with the IMEI number of the device.
You can buy an after market modem/router combo that allows you (via firmware) to use the same IMEI number as your t-mobile modem. Just put your SIM in and you're all set. T-mobile will be none the wiser.
An added bonus is that these modems have LOTS of features such as band locking. Also antenna ports that make it easy to connect an external antenna.
As an example, check out the Cheetah Wi-Fi 6 Industrial LTE 5G NR Wireless Modem
