Re: DIY Modem
Well, I'm a bit bummed out. I found out that the home internet service does not allow BYOD so it has IMEI lock. The business internet service allows BYOD, but I do not have a business. So, I guess the project is dead before it even started. I will just keep researching it for now.29Visto0likes0ComentariosDIY Modem
Hello, This is my first post. Glad to meet everyone. I didn't even know T-Mobile had a forum until I got the home internet and found how limited the gateways are and began searching for tips and tricks. I wanted to see if anyone had tried building their own modem. I have been running a IPFire firewall and router box for a while now since I had DSL. So why not use it for T-Mobile too? I don't even know if it will work, but in theory I think it should. IPFire has a decent amount of options for connecting to a service. I would be using my computer that is currently running the firewall and router Adding a PCI-E M.2 adapter Attaching a 5g module to that adapter SIM card into the adapter Plug the Waveform antenna to the module Configure the "Red" adapter in IPFire If this works, I should have no double NAT and many other features like DHCP address control, VPN, and Intrusion Prevention in one unit. It would be about $100 in parts I need to get so less than one of the pre-built 5G routers. Or has someone already attempted it?398Visto0likes5Comentarios
