    Just gonna let you know, if ya have 5g available more specifically T-Mobile then ya can get an at home 5g router. It is most definitely cheaper and may have lower latency, though I don’t know how their network is on the East coast furthest east I’ve gone is Utah.

      Unfortunately we only get AT&T and maybe a whiff of T-Mobile once in a blue moon. Gotta go a few miles into town to get reliable service, especially if you want 5G. Thanks though.

        So this is what I did for a long time at my folks place out in the boonies.

        1. Get yourself another line with unlimited data.
        2. Buy yourself one of these: GL.iNet GL-MT3000 or GL.iNet GL-AX1800
        3. Connect the phone to the USB slot.
        4. Turn on the phone’s USB tethering option.
        5. Go into the router’s admin page and tell it to use USB tethering as the WAN option.
