broadband disconnected
Today I woke up to my Broadband disconnected again. Some of the issues reported already never really gave a clear answer on how to fix this issues. If T-mobile is really blocking the connection to my...
John, I have two TMi lines, one static IP one not, using different APN, b2b.static, and fast.tmobile.com. I have two mobile routers, this M1, and a MoFi4500-4GXeLTE V2. For service, since where we live there are no broadband providers, we have to rely on unlimited data from Tmo reseller, on Tmo's grandfathered unlimited plans.
Originally I had non-static sim card in M1. Tmo blocked the sim in February from using M1. I figured that out by swapping Sims and settings. And both were working for a while, since B2B.static APN worked on M1. However, as of a few days ago, Tmo also blocked my B2B.static sim card from using M1. And now I am down to one mobile router, and M1 is blocked from using both Sims.
So why is it that another true mobile routers (with external antennas and wall wart power plug, not to mention industrial chassis) can work with Tmo, and M1 cannot? Why when there was talk of certifying M1 to work on Tmo to qork, it was ignored? Surely if ruralinternethq.com can get certification from Tmo for the routers they sell, you can too?
As a previous poster mentioned, this is creating a very expensive paperweight, and is damaging to the Netgear brand, showing the Netgear is not even as serious a player in Mobile Internet arena as much smaller brands as MoFi. As 5G is coming around the corner and everything will be mobile internet enabled, surely Netgear will be poised to lose that emerging market share if cannot play nice with the carriers like others.

Had one of these previously on ATT (unlocked) that I haven't used for months.Just decided to use it and all different sims including ATT give the same issue.
Tried the APN trick with no luck.
Here are the different set of active sims I tried -
ATT (for MiFi)
T-Mobile (for MiFi)
Google Fi (data sim)
O2 (UK data sim)
This is simply crazy. This is definitely not an issue with the providers as all these sims work fine with other devices from Huawei etc.
Any suggestions?
