Damn, you were WAY ahead of the times. I bought an x65 POE LTE modem off Alibaba a while back abd thought it was something no one had done and here you did it 2 years ago. Amazing! Thanks for sharing this video.
I really appreciate you showing this build! It is exactly what we need for our RV. We are tired of lugging around the Thick LTE antenna cables and trying to route them into our indoor cell modem/router. Nice! Building one just the same.
M.2 adapter yields usb2.0 (480mbps) the USB adapter is usb3.0 (5gbps) Ie. This is a future proof setup. The person I built it for will likely drop in an RM502Q-AE with 7xCA which will pass 500mbps Downlink easy
Where could one buy that fancy ethernet cable gland / extension? It's exactly what I need, but I'm only able to find pass-through glands. Great stuff btw. EDIT: Nevermind, it's in the store. :)
Looking to build something similar for an off-grid area, and am learning about different options that might work. Are you able to use any sim card in this setup (such as a Visible sim) or only specific ones?
@@RouterRelated Well, actually they do okay for Data under certain circumstances, however, that's not what I was talking about. M2M boosters (or Machine to Machine) are made specifically to go between antenna and modem.
I wish I could do something different but I spent like close to $300 plus 2 signal booster and Yagi antenna and the signal is not even close to what i thought it would be, but I like your videos and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Tech repair
@@RouterRelated My Module is a 5G SIM8202X-M2, I'm going to run Tmobile on it, it says that it's compatible. I'm used to my Sierra Wireless Dell 4G that was in my laptop, but had to upgrade it to 5G. I'm still waiting for the card to come to me

Oh you have to check my website out chestertechrepairs.com I’ve been getting triple digits with $40 modems since 2019

Was nice to see you test the outdoor setup & show the results before showing the build being finished, loving the vids
i realize Im pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Santino Zechariah I would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Santino Zechariah lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
Why did you go through all that extra work with the usb enclosure? Buy the m.2-PCIe adapter and throw the modem on the router PCB.

@@RouterRelated true and the 5G module won't mount on the 3526.
@@CellularFixation yes correct. The black m.2 adapter can accommodate the large NR5G radios
How about software? Is it plug & play?
Why did you add the usb3 Modem board??
Using usb3.0 enclosure makes it future proof... so you can then use a nr5g card later
where did you buy the container (cover)?
😉
Be careful not having antennas hooked up on wifi before powering on could blow out the amp.
Not exactly these zbt routers all still transmit pretty good without antennas

Looking to build something similar for an off-grid area, and am learning about different options that might work. Are you able to use any sim card in this setup (such as a Visible sim) or only specific ones?
This setup is designed to use any tab or phone plan
Have you ever tried an M2M booster with this setup?
Cellular boosters are for voice not for data.
@@RouterRelated Well, actually they do okay for Data under certain circumstances, however, that's not what I was talking about.
M2M boosters (or Machine to Machine) are made specifically to go between antenna and modem.
@@YahDude I've used the H721 but I prefer wg3526p for native poe
@@RouterRelated Look up "Wilson Pro IoT 5-Band Standard Signal Booster"
I consistently get the advertised 15dbi gain if not 20+
@@YahDude Wilson is trash hard pass
Can I buy this built one from you?
No unfortunately this build is not for sale.
how about software? Plug and play?
If it’s done right yes
I assume you had a spare heat sink for the modem?
Correct it’s smaller than what I would have liked it’s out of one those large packs
Thx
What service do you get your SIM card through?
The module inside the unit is pulled from a dell laptop so it works with any provider. In the video I was using a magenta tab plan
Got a cheap 5g router but it's not working too well indoors. I'll give this a try.
What model ?
I have a mofi, can i just place the mofi outside to do the trick?
Retire it

@@lemardogonzalez1575 boosters do Not improve speeds.
I bought this for my mPCI port on my laptop with SIM slot, how well will this chip work like that?
Depends what windows does with the module… I get better performance on Linux

@@Techno_Basil absolute useless junk never spend a penny on simscum
@@RouterRelated why are they crap? It was a little less than $300
@@Techno_Basil that’s not cheap… that’s highway robbery… doesn’t work well… do not attempt software update
nice video. can you use this setup for a 5g card too?
Everything is the same. Only difference is the card
Nice bro
