As someone who uses 4G LTE for my Home Internet Wifi, I must warn you guys that connection becomes unstable during storms (specially when theres lightning). Connection drops constantly too (not good for online gaming). It drops but gets connected fast too.

You’re absolutely right that you’re at the mercy of the load on your cell tower. I would’ve went with a 4G router/access point for your interior instead of using a phone. They make some great ones for RVs and van life.
Ya the 4G routers are great but they only work with certain carriers, visible won't work. Visible was the best price I could find that did unlimited on verizon network. Do you know of a carrier doing better than 40/month?
Nature's Always Right If the phone uses a SIM card pop out the SIM card and put it in a 4G WiFi Router that isn’t locked to any carrier such as www.amazon.com/Winegard-GW-1000-Gateway-WiFi-Router/dp/B07XLTRJ72/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Winegard+GW-1000+Gateway+4G+LTE+WiFi+Router&qid=1601406443&sr=8-3

Can you give me some advice. I live in an apartment complex. The owners will only allow you to use their personal internet service here. It totally sucks, freezes, disconnects, etc. I need internet for my business and would like to know if there a service I can outside my landlord's service that is reasonable?.
Good luck with the Internet set-up! I hope it will be a good solution for you in the coming time! Being a TH-camr and not having a stable, fast Internet connection is the greatest anxiety related to making videos that I know XD
I don't think I am "quibbling" when I point out the reality that any booster WILL NOT AMPLIFY your cellular connection. Yes, you can definitely get a better signal inside your home but only to the extent that you can get a better signal outside your home. SIMPLE EXAMPLES: If you get only 2 bars in your house but 4 bars outside your house, a booster outside will pick up the better outside signal and send it inside your house so you now have 4 bars inside. If you have your booster outside on an elevated mast/pole say 20 feet high and you get 5 bars on the outside booster, again you will get 5 bars inside. Using an outside booster, under no circumstances will you get and inside signal that is any better than you can get outside...
The only real reason why I do not live in a rural area is the internet connection. In Germany, there are often not even 1 mbit connections available...
Hey Stephen, thanks for doing this video and the research. James and I were just talking last night about our internet woes here in the middle of nowhere in Arizona/New Mexico. I have a prepaid AT&T unlimited data plan so I don't think Visible will work here but I'll investigate. Definitely going to buy the booster you recommended!
Lots of variables to think about, I know ATT has a wifi service now in many areas. I believe they pull from the 4G towers just like I'm doing. Just check if they limit your hotspot speeds after a certain data usage.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight I just found out Verizon works at out property! Whoo Hoo! Question: Can I use a standart wifi router instead of the wifi repeater since we have a standard Netgear wifi router? I still don't understand what the repeater does. Thanks Steven
@@NaturesAlwaysRightAT&T had a prepaid unlimited data plan for tablets for $29.99 and then increased the price to $34.99 a month and I was able to use 5 terabytes a month with it, but, then they ended this plan sadly.
I have had ATT wireless unlimited internet for the last 15 years and they definitely throttle you hard since 2019. I'm getting the visible since it runs off the same hardware. Man I wish we had DSL or land lines. Luckily RF systems is my day job.
Id be happy to get your hotspot speeds before the booster. I get about 1.5Mbps download and .8 upload off my hotspot. Going outside doesn't change the results much. So, getting a booster wouldn't do too much for me. But, that all is changing for me Friday.
The visible hotspot is capped at 5 Mbps... All you need to do is buy a 4G router and put the visible SIM card in the router. It will be full data speed as it's not a hotspot it's just pulling the regular "phone" data. Also visible is $25 a month now with the party play
I have Verizon and in an area with limited internet as well. I use my hotspot on my primary iPhone. I have my old iPhone and pay for data for $20 also data on my iPad for another $20. So I have 2 additional hotspots on top of my primary iPhone. Reception for Verizon is decent. It works out well. It is actually than paying for internet. You have to get creative when living in the country lol.
That's what we've done since moving to a rural area with no internet service a couple of years ago. It was fine until working and schooling from home full time became a thing. Now we frequently run out of our 15 gig high speed allowance. Very frustrating.
@@davidledoux1736 I know that feeling. It must be very difficult with work and school. I actually just called Verizon the other day and they had a better hotspot deal. It was 30 gigs (or whatever that is lol) for 5$ cheaper. Maybe if you could call them they might have that in your area too. Good luck! 🍀
I was just about to do this, but I was just informed that soon I will be able to upgrade my internet to 250 MBPS broadband! I can't wait! (I currently get 20MBPS which is enough to do what I need, but I want SUPER SPEED)
It's fine. Water doesn't do any real damage to houses. That's just a myth, like the earth being round and the united states government being overtaken by commies.
Hello did you all get opportunity to use this set up and if so did it work out for you? I’m looking into possibly trying it myself and would appreciate any feedback.
YES!!!! That’s our issue 😢 😭 We are starting our homestead recently and TH-cam channel so that’s the main issue we’re having ,thx a lot man #littletailsfarm ❤️ 🐐
Not sure if this changed recently or what but I purchased visible and found out they limit hotspot data to 5mbps. You can even see it on their website. Please make a video explaining what you dis to get around this or what you do differently now.
Thank you so much! I just moved to a place where’s no internet 😭 and I work from home. So i will try this. I hope it’s work for me I am 101 technology for dummies 🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂
You have better options... WISP small businesses resell fiber from cities and use a special long range wifi dish to resell to customers... wisp searchable maps exist for all areas like mountain rural areas near cities like seattle or vancouver
@Gamer In A Van I'm talking about the download speeds, they throttle the download speed at 5mbs. But this video show speeds way higher than that. 5mbs is plenty fast for games as long as you have a strong signal and low latency.
I really wish I would have known about this sooner. At least I am looking to get a new phone and could definitely use this as a way to upgrade everything.
have you tried aws instead of 700. I've seen very fast speeds on aws even through it didn't good as strong. aws should have band 66 in it. just try it then speed test. your speed should double.
I watch this video a month ago, when it came out. I’m thinking of switching to a similar set up. Can you give any feedback on how it’s been working out for you lately? Has it had the reliability?
This is from Visible's website: "+Mobile hotspot speeds capped at 5 Mbps and limited to one tethered device at a time." I'm assuming you're circumventing this because you're using it through a phone. I'm wondering if putting the SIM card in a travel router would circumvent it as well.
They say 5Mbps upload but I've always gotten higher as my tests show. I did some research and it doesn't seem that visible SIM will work in a travel router otherwise I would have gone that route as it's more simple.
I just watched this video and my first thought was “how did he get around the 5 Mb per second speed cap on Visible’s hotspot” I have been using Visible for almost a year now and on device data isn’t throttled but if I use it as a hotspot then it is almost always throttle to exactly 5-6 Mb per second
Can you explain why you couldn’t just connect YOUR phone to the repeater instead of getting an additional phone for that? I’m trying to understand all the different components of this setup. Mahalo!
Update: I figured out what works for me is to connect my visible phone to my laptop, using USB tethering. Turning on USB tethering in the phone network settings, then turning on mobile hotspot sharing in my laptop. I should mention that I use the Nord VPN app in the visible phone (not the laptop. I tried the laptop way, with no improvements); turning on the Nord app before connection is probably a good idea. Before this setup I was getting 2-3 Mbps Download and 5 Mbps Upload. After this setup, I get 15-20 Mbps Download and 9-10 Mbps Upload. I've used a router, and a repeater before trying this setup, and this is the only setup that has shown real improvements. I live in a very rural area, where nothing is available (crossing fingers for Starlink, as they just launched more satellites recently).
Hello - we have some equipment from a local company that was offering the cell tower service. They lost their contract with the tower so we are stuck with the equipment. Do you know if we would be able to use the equipment to do something similar to this?
I had to do this as well for a time. It worked ok for a bit, but running my wifi on cell data was flakey (for me at least). You all may want to look in to a direct wireless type of ISP. Its basically an ISP that works on line of sight to their towers, just like cell data, but its been more reliable for me
Oh, also you can get a wireless router that will take your cell phone as an input for internet and give you better wifi coverage in your house. I went with an Asus router. And grats again on your new home :)
How exactly are you getting around the Visible limit of ONE DEVICE PER HOTSPOT connection? I tried this and I can only have one device connected to the hotspot at a time!
I bought the Hiboost 4k, very good signal. Bought the Vanin repeater. Hooked everything up and signal on my MacBook Pro is excellent on the Juplink 1200 and 1200 5G, but no internet. Must be something simple I' missing. Need guidance. Thanks, Carl
How can you determine whether Visible is decreasing hot spot usage? I’m right by a tower but have bars varying during the day. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
From researching this recently, and finding out this can no longer be done through AT&T, that they have pretty much shut it down because people were using the SIM.. it seems Unlimitedville($150/mo for unlimited for both companies 🙄) and the other just like it who use the MOFI and Nighthawk are really the only way to go to do this without being shut down. How do we know that we can do this long term without them shutting the lines down like they have done with AT&T?
Thanks for the video! QUESTION: Once installed, do I need to use wifi or can the booster be hooked to my wire router? We prefer wired connections for the PCs as it's much faster.
I’m happy you get that high much speed , I have the same service but I don’t get the speed you’ get I only get the highest 8 upload and 2 download thinking about canceling my service can’t watch know iptv service. Watching your video has thinking about this, good video!
Does anyone know if the mini cell towers seen on some houses can be configured as a booster? I am under the impression they're usually set up just for better TV reception.
They say that 5Mpbs is the limit but it absolutely is not the case as you can see from my tests. I watched some other videos of people using visible and they got way over 5 as well.
I am getting speed capped at 5 mps with Visible. How are you not being capped at speeds of 5 mps? With the booster off you were getting over 20. I think they did not cap speeds during COVID outbreak. How are your speeds now?
You know if you join a party on visible you can get the same service for 25$ a month exactly the same service it’s cool I have been using it and signed others up on it and I can watch some 4K videos on it too! I would love this booster but can’t afford it, I am also a TH-camr in northeast Michigan woods! ✝️❄️🦌🙏⛪️👴🏡
You just set the hotspot to never sleep. I turn the phone and signal booster of every night. I charge the phone and let it drain while in use then plug it in at night.
40/month for the full unlimited data and phone service with visible. High boost helps to give faster more reliable 4G signal to the phone I'm using to hotspot from. It's hardware and is one time.
Hi. But Exactly How Rural Are You From a Town or City ? And How Far Would You Say That Cell Tower Was From Your House Too.. I Need Something For Our Rural Area House Might Try Everything You Did.!° Thank You.°
Did the speeds stay that way over time? any reprioritization or throttling? From Visible website: "Mobile hotspot with unlimited data at speeds up to 5 Mbps, limited to one device."
hello.. how is your internet going? I need about 15 hours a day ( work, school tv) is this giving you a cap on data? happy with service? I have been waiting to ask after you test for a bit. Also, thanks for posting I love your channel
It's worth it for the uploads but the downloads doesn't seem worth it. I'm still interested in the hotspot part. My cellular data speeds are 20 times faster than my DSL and I'm trying to make it a hotspot
I have Hugh's net and its terrible at best and none existent have the time. My question is are you using the phone as a wireless router for the most part? I have 3 to 4 bars of 4g with t mobile for the most part. Looking for anything at this point and it definitely couldnt be worse then what I have.
I would love to see how you use your WiFi repeater with your Visible hotspot!
Have visible and it's useless

@@robertfletcher440 there are tons of them you just gotta search i think one reliable one is nomad internet check them out
Att just shut down my mofi4500 setup as they can now detect that you are using an "air card" instead of the registered device.
@@2muchtime26hmu I can help ya search for plans do you have a discord or anything?
come on starlink!
Sorry didn’t get to pay close attention this may be explain. But why are you using a telephone as your modem instead of an LTE modem?
Thanks for the video!
QUESTION: Once installed, do I need to use wifi or can the booster be hooked to my wire router? We prefer wired connections for the PCs as it's much faster.
The booster shoots a wireless signal, so if your router can accept a 4g sim card then yes and go wired from that to PC.
Thanks for the video! Does your cell phone hotspot drops when when connected devices are not in use?
No because in the settings you can choose "Turn Off" to never
Excellent information! Not only am I rural but I live in the ONLY "no zone" for cell signal in our area LoL!!! Oh well! :D
Ah, well satellite is probably the only option then. Totally unplugging from the digital world isn't such a bad idea either haha.
I’m happy you get that high much speed , I have the same service but I don’t get the speed you’ get I only get the highest 8 upload and 2 download thinking about canceling my service can’t watch know iptv service. Watching your video has thinking about this, good video!
Look into T-Mobile Home Internet. Unlimited, no caps, $50/month.
Does anyone know if the mini cell towers seen on some houses can be configured as a booster? I am under the impression they're usually set up just for better TV reception.
Excellent - well put together. Thank you.

I don't understand the visible hotspot with no data caps. When I go to visible it says 5gb hotspot...???
@@the_catfish_junkie8500
Post link?
I'm surprised you get those speeds as Visible states you only get 5 Mbps when tethering.
They say that 5Mpbs is the limit but it absolutely is not the case as you can see from my tests. I watched some other videos of people using visible and they got way over 5 as well.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight That's awesome! Those speeds are pretty great for the price for being out in the country.
How’s it holding up?
Is this like a router for the hotspot
Would your option be good for online gaming?
Did you investigate T-Mobile's 5G, it's much faster than 4G and new lower cost phone are starting to be sold.
I am getting speed capped at 5 mps with Visible. How are you not being capped at speeds of 5 mps? With the booster off you were getting over 20. I think they did not cap speeds during COVID outbreak. How are your speeds now?
I’m getting this ❤️
Do you know if I could use visible just as a hotspot I have AT&t and I'm keeping them for a while but I just need supplemental data hotspot
You can. You will have to purchase that cheap phone and they will give you a number, but you can just use it as a dedicated hotspot
@@MrZealot11 Does it have a data limit for the hotspot?
@@mattwood5654 No, the hotspot is unlimited, but the speed is capped at 5mbps down, which is plenty fast enough.
Super good video, and based. Gang gang

My dsl with verizon, costs $66 a month get 1.7 down, and .7 up
When it works. I am on the phone to verizon to have them fix it monthly.
You know if you join a party on visible you can get the same service for 25$ a month exactly the same service it’s cool I have been using it and signed others up on it and I can watch some 4K videos on it too! I would love this booster but can’t afford it, I am also a TH-camr in northeast Michigan woods! ✝️❄️🦌🙏⛪️👴🏡
do you have to periodically wake up the cell phone delivering the wifi hotspot? or does it stay on while delivering wifi signal 24hrs a day?
You just set the hotspot to never sleep. I turn the phone and signal booster of every night. I charge the phone and let it drain while in use then plug it in at night.
Is there no mobile hotspot cap anymore? I noticed Visible's site still notes that hotspots are capped at 5mbps.
i read that too. looking at ATT 4g wireless 500gig data cap if ordered before 11/8/20
So do you need a cable provider plus the high boost? Or is the $40 charge for cable provider and one time purchase for high boost?
40/month for the full unlimited data and phone service with visible. High boost helps to give faster more reliable 4G signal to the phone I'm using to hotspot from. It's hardware and is one time.
Starlink is worth looking into.
Ok I have a question? When I added my WiFi extension my phone keeps cutting off. Have any suggestions
Turn the mobile hotspot to never timeout
@David the Good this might be helpful with your streaming/uploading?
Hi. But Exactly How Rural Are You From a Town or City ? And How Far Would You Say That Cell Tower Was From Your House Too.. I Need Something For Our Rural Area House Might Try Everything You Did.!°
Thank You.°
CBRS will change things in the near future.
Wanted to ask about how you got over 5mbps using hotspot with visible when they state they cap hotspot teathering to 5mbps?
I have the same question. What are we missing?
10 and 1 would be awesome. Century link only offers 3m and 500k here
Is this compatible with hardwiring ? I work from home and my new place doesn’t officer anything I need at least 75mbps
Hey I need to connect via VPN will this work for me with eternity cord?
Did the speeds stay that way over time? any reprioritization or throttling? From Visible website: "Mobile hotspot with unlimited data at speeds up to 5 Mbps, limited to one device."
hello.. how is your internet going? I need about 15 hours a day ( work, school tv) is this giving you a cap on data? happy with service? I have been waiting to ask after you test for a bit. Also, thanks for posting I love your channel
Still working great upload my videos to youtube really fast.
I wonder if it'll boost the radiation as well
It's worth it for the uploads but the downloads doesn't seem worth it. I'm still interested in the hotspot part. My cellular data speeds are 20 times faster than my DSL and I'm trying to make it a hotspot
I don’t have any cell service where I live... my phone constantly says “No Service” or 1x
Then this won't work :(
I have Hugh's net and its terrible at best and none existent have the time. My question is are you using the phone as a wireless router for the most part? I have 3 to 4 bars of 4g with t mobile for the most part. Looking for anything at this point and it definitely couldnt be worse then what I have.
