✅Get the BEST: 5G SA vs 5G NSA – Ditch 4G LTE Anchor, Improve Speed, Lower PING – The Ninja V2!
The future of cellular is 5G Standalone (SA) which allows lower latency, more bandwidth/speed and more features with edge computing. Here’s how to get it with T-Mobile home internet. Verizon and AT&T are also rolling out 5G SA but they are behind T-Mobile. Break free from the standard 5G gateways and open the door to advanced features and settings! The Ninja V2 has external antenna ports, 5G SA, IP Pass-through, IMEI revise repair, band locking, custom APN and TTL, etc. This works with Verizon 5G Home, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet and AT&T or others. This Chester Tech Repair gateway can be bought on the link below. Want to get the BEST cellular signal, speed and ping? Add a Waveform External 4×4 MIMO antenna. It currently has the Quectel RM520N-GL modem and the RM521N-GL is coming out ~Dec 2023. They provided the router for me to test and demonstrate its capabilities and also provide a referral coupon code below for a discount specifically for my viewers!

What are the speeds when using the 4 x 4 antenna please?
I still have the Nokia transcan gateway and lots of drop outs in the past few months. Which third party gateway do you recommend most? I'd like to try one to see if it can improve my uptime.
Great info, as always 🙂
I’m very happy with my TMHI, going almost a year with it, my tower unfortunately only has b66/71/2 and n25 and 71, god willing I’ll see n41 and perhaps 77 one day, it’s only a gig backhaul, but in my area it’s consistently pulling 200/35 on b66/n41 from a tower 1 ish miles away, my phone has UC SA on n25 and it’s doing well over 400/40 24/7, T-Mobile is only getting better month over month, luckily for my my home town is two blocks away line of site. Hopefully they upgrade to 10 gig soon, a new isp is laying fiber soon, and they are touting 10g for all, and my house is in the early layout side, so maybe they will upgrade the tower, or I’ll get cheap fiber finally, win win either way.
Hi Nate
I don't know if it would help you or not but, I on the Cheetah disabled the B2 and N2 because they were so much slower. Now it locks on B41 fast and better speeds and ping times.
You might want to try this on your Cheetah to see if it helps you.
Thanks Nate for another great video.
Not sure what is going on with T-Mobile around here. I have the TMHI trashcan, no external antenna, B66 and n71 are the only Freq. The tower I believe is about 3.5 miles out. My ping has been averaging 19 – 28 ms and down/up load speed was averaging 55 Mbps/ 32 Mbps.
About 5 weeks ago I notice a big difference in performance. Ping is now slower, 32 – 44 ms. Upload speeds are about the same, but, download speeds went why up. Download is now averaging about 150 -175 Mbps and it is fairly consistent through out the day. Before this change, speeds would be good (55/32) in the morning and almost cut in half in the evening. There is no SA here that I'm aware of. What every they did, I'm happy with it.
Do you know if there’s a way to get that new T-Mobile router you have ?
This information is so useful to your students that are trying to figure how this stuff works so that our community can maximize our access to the internet in our local areas where we just happen to live. Anyway… thanks Boss Nater! 🥔🍟💯💪
Regarding ATT, with Yeacomm and external antenna, I can lock onto a nice 5G signal, but it won't connect. With the Sim in the Air Hub, it says LTE only and doesn't seem to try connecting to a 5G signal either. Wondering if that's by design or maybe I'm not using the right APN in the Yeacomm. Seeing as the Air Hub isn't connecting or showing 5g either, I'm guessing their not allowing it in my area.
Fortunately, I have TMHI as well which absolutely rocks. Good speeds and ping.
You live in cellular heaven. Around here all we have pretty much is Verizon. When it's at its best I get 40 to 60 megabits which is okay, but when it's not good it's less than 1. Pitiful!
I had an interesting calls with T-Mobile tech support on my device slowing down… first was that T-Mobile is in the process of eliminating the Sprint network or towers and keeping only what they need. And that slow speeds are capacity issues. Cell phones get priority, mainly because INTERNET uses more bandwidth (which to me is false advertising saying 5g Home is high speed product) Their system on my service is fine all day until 6 pm to 10 pm…(all my devices work fine on 50 MBPS during the day)…when more people are home watching TV or making calls at night I am lucky at times to have 1MBPS. So I asked why T Mobiles coverage map now has my small rural town having full 5 G coverage….? I was told that is only for PHONES… and told if I can get StarLink it would be better because 5G is not happening soon at least where I live. Only drawback on the Star Link is up front cost and then higher monthly bill. But no new cables/ fiber optics will ever be laid… wireless is the future. I've never got a 5 G signal on my Arcadia … according to my app. But one day with a weak signal, I got over 250 MBPS when normal is between 30-50… mbps… so IMO, T Mobile has the ability to get me high speed Internet… it just doesn't want to do it for $50.00 a month.. I expect at some point they will have a tier system, where you pay more for higher speed. (all my devices work fine on 50 MBPS)….
If i go into my eng menu of my phone i can force it into SA mode and there is definitely a difference. Signal reliability though isn't great if on N41.
Great video. I have been experimenting with SA vs NSA on my InvisaGig paired with the Waveform 4 x 4 panel. My experience in my market in NJ has been similar. I am not seeing all that much of a difference with NSA band 2 as the Anchor and 2 aggregated bands of N41 vs SA on just 2 bands of N41. Pings are similar and max download speeds are between 200-500 depending when you test. My observation is stability. NSA for me is still more reliable where SA I have random connectivity drops. I don’t think SA will have the “WOW” factor we have all been waiting for till N77 lights up AND T-Mobile allows 4 Aggregates. My understanding is the Modem "Quectel RM520N-GL" can support up to 5 but the carrier doesn’t. Still waiting to replicate even half of what T-Mobile did in there stunt marketing where they achieved over 3 Gbps
Good morning all
