The solution for unlimited hotspot data through your cell phone is finally here
and it's cheap. How about $20 a month cheap. Stay tuned to find out how. I've
been looking for this solution for a long time and I'm so excited to share it
with you. If you're like most people you want to cut the cord from your cable TV
provider and cell phone service has been an attractive alternative. The problem is
that the major carriers throttle your data usage after 22 gigabytes or so or charge
you so much for truly unlimited data that you'd be better off keeping your
cable or DSL service. If you're like me you want a solution that checks off
these boxes. Use way more than 22 gig of data per month. Watch online TV using
Roku, Apple TV, or other devices. Connect iPad, laptop, desktop, Alexa, Google home
and other devices that require Wi-Fi or wired connections. A low monthly cost -
cheaper than cable. Something that works with AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint.
For the past two years I've been hunting for the right solution to this challenge
and finally found the answer. It's the MoFi 4500 4G LTE router. This device is a
wireless router that distributes your cell data to devices on your internal
network by using a SIM card from your cell phone. All you must do is add an
extra line to your existing cell plan and plug that SIM card into the MoFi
router. With the major carriers you can add a line for $20 or less.
Sounds great but you're probably wondering how that bypasses the data
limits. Stay with me here. There are two types of data measured by
your cell phone carriers - tethered data and streaming data. When you create a
hotspot on your cell phone and share it to other devices the carrier recognizes
it as tethered data and all the plan data limits apply. Once you use up your
tethered data the speed is throttled to 3G or slower and it's useless for all
but basic functions. You can barely browse a webpage much less play a video
or watch TV. Streaming data, on the other hand, is excluded from your monthly
data limits. This is for streaming YouTube videos, Netflix, playing music and
the like directly on your mobile device. The reason the MoFi 4500 is such a
great solution is because it has a feature in the configuration settings
that makes all your data appear to be streaming data from your cell phone
rather than tethered data and its set this way out of the box. Even when you
share your Wi-Fi or wired connections to other devices on your internal network.
All the data is seen by the carrier as streaming data. Now, there are limits to
streaming data too. Most carriers will allow 50 gigabytes and then de-prioritize
the traffic rather than dropping you to glacial speeds. However, the
prioritization only happens when you are over the streaming limit and the tower
you're connected to is busy. That rarely occurs.
I've watched TV, browsed the Internet, downloaded files, and used well over
100 gigabytes of data each of the past two months with no slowdown at all.
So if you're looking for cheap, unlimited data through your existing wireless
carrier for internet TV and all your home devices I highly recommend the MoFi
4500 4G LTE router. I'm not sponsored by MoFi Networks, but it has been a
great solution for me so I wanted to share with you. I'll put a link to the MoFi
router in the description of this video. You may need a micro SIM card
adapter to fit the sim card into the MoFi router, so I've included that link
as well. I'll also include a link to an optional Yagi antenna. The Yagi antenna
can enhance your signal if you're in a remote location with limited cell
coverage. Please share your experiences with the MoFi router in the comments
or any other technology you find useful for your connectivity needs. I'd love to
hear if it works for you as well as it has for me. Hey, if you want to see more
