This is an amazing fix for a minimal to non coding person like me. To go from 5Mbps to nearly 60! For $30/month at visible I'm getting speeds of 153 5G on my cell in my van (with weboost). And I'm using it all day long every day as I'm working this week in the van. Before Verizon's recent change, I got 15 outside my van and 10 tops inside.

That's awesome! Thanks for testing it out and sharing your results.

This is only the beginning for me. The next step is to pick out a Gli.net pocket router for my van so that instead of having to modify each device, I will only have to modify the router's TTL value, and then all wifi devices connected to it will be uncapped.

The router will also offer several morr methods for sharing an internet connection.

1) It can use the data from a phone via the phone's hotspot, or direct USB tethering

2) It can be used as a wifi repeater to make use of public wifi (campgrounds, Starbucks, Walmart, McDonald's, etc and also my wifi at home)

3) It can be plugged into my Tmobile Home Internet 5G router which I plan to take with me on the road.

4) It can use a USB cellular hotspot instead of a phone.

The routers have built in VPN support to help maintain your privacy and data security. They also have models that can accept external antennas. Many people have them connected to their weboost when boondocking, and switch to smaller antennas in the city.

The most important aspect for me though, will be to maintain a si-permanent wifi network in my van to run many devices as a mobile office. Aside from the typical phone/laptop/tablet/printer, I need to have security cameras that I can access while away from the van. Mainly to keep an eye on my dog and the inside temps, but having some security cameras on top of the van or around a campsite would be useful too.

Do they make 12v routers, or are they all 120v plugs? I never run my inverter unless I'm cooking or heating the water tank. It will be interesting to see how my cell reception is when on the road.

Looks like it depends on which model you get, most use a usb cable for power. I saw one that use a 12v input. I assume for usb tethering, you can just use the Mango model. There is also a 4g sim card router for people want to use a separate sim card.

Most routers (the big ones we use in our homes) are actually 12v, but have a power adapter brick to convert from 110v wall outlets. They can be wired directly to the DC system in our vans by cutting off the power brick.

The pocket sized Gli.net routers are mostly 5v, meaning they can run from a 2.4A USB port in your van off the 12v DC system without any extra modifications.

Their newer, more powerful routers (Beryl and newer models) might require up to 5v/4a, but the older ones will work in standard-power USB ports that are 5v/2.4a. There’s a few options to get around any limitations of running the more powerful models from pre-existing outlets if necessary, such as combining 2 USB ports, or using a dc to dc step down converter to ultilize a standard 12v socket, or even running a super mini 110v inverter just for the router alone.

I’ve got my eye on the Beryl or Slate AX model, but may opt for the Mudi mifi model (can be modified for external antennas) instead, which has 4G built in. It would be nice if they could hurry up and release a 5G version. All of them can accept a usb cellular add on though. In some ways, the Mudi is just a little more convenient because it has a built in batttery pack.

Down the line I’ll do that. Right now I have all I need from my cell. I have this adapter for my Mac:

that’s perfect with enough capacity to add more devices 👍

How do you change it back?

For macs, you just restart the computer and it returns to the original setting. Not sure with a PC.

 

[gr8images]

Awesome thank you!

 

[fakehappinesss]

Will verizon notice this? Should I use a VPN while doing this? Wondering if anyones had account cancellations etc because of this method.

For macs, you just restart the computer and it returns to the original setting. Not sure with a PC.

For a windows laptop create a text file in Notepad on your Desktop and name it "Hotspot_Config.cmd". Add the following 3 lines to the file and save it:

netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
pause
netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=128

Right-click on the file and select "Run as Administrator" when you want to activate it. The command prompt that opens will pause after it changes your TTL, and when you're done with the connection just go back to the open command prompt and press any key to resume, and the last command will change your TTL back to its original state. I tested this both before making the tethered connection to my iPhone and also while the tether was active and it takes effect immediately. I don't believe any cell carrier would be able to identify what type of device is being used as they are simply checking the TTL and adjusting speeds accordingly. There's no specific need for using a VPN to do this unless you need that for other purposes.

Were you able to find anything about this method?

I have a mango mini with wireguard VPN, and I've input a line to change the IP tables in the custom firewall (not the specific code you mentioned in OP)

With my Visible phone tethered via USB, I'm able to get 15-20 Mbps via cat5 or wireless on average but not much more. I'm wondering if it's just a de-prioritization issue?

 

[ObvB]

Quick update. I'm not sure if this is related to the "Network Upgrade" that Visible is rolling out for "legacy" accounts, or if its just that I'm now using IPv6 connections that I wasn't before, but the speed untrottling fix appears to only work for IPv4, and IPv6 connections get throttled.

I have turned off IPv6 for my laptop's wifi, and some connections that were being throttled because they were using IPv6 are no longer throttled. There may be a way to set the TTL for IPv6 to some magic value that will work in the same way it does for IPv4, but if there is, I can't be bothered to look for it.

To turn off IPv6 in Windows, go to the properties of the network adapter, and uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"

Note, that Microsoft do not recommend disabling IPv6, but instead suggest setting "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6". I may look into this, or other ways of specifying which protocol a connection uses ... especially if things start to break!

Hello everyone. My carrier allows my iphone to access to unlimited data but there is 5gb hotspot each month. So I try changing ttl to 65 to bypass. It works perfectly for window laptop as now the hotspot is also unlimited but when I change macbook ttl to 65 it didn't work. Could anyone tell me why?

 

[tranminhthanh]

I've used it since sept. and not had any issues.

could you guide me how to bypass on my macbook please

For unknown reasons my tethered speed was capped at about twice the "official" cap of 5Mbps, but this is amazing. japanese chef knives

I'm quite surprised that they use something (to trigger whatever networking magic sorcery that they do) that is so easily circumvented on the tethered device end. I figured it was something in the service settings of the phone that would not be so easily changed.

Thanks VvW ...

Impressive, those speeds are truly excellent!

 

[Lolaeliz]

could you guide me how to bypass on my macbook please

in finder search fr and open Terminal.

Paste these codes (make sure it's plain text format)

sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.ttl=65
sudo sysctl net.inet6.ip6.hlim=65

hit enter. It will ask for your password. Enter it slowly. I don't know why it has to bw donew slowly, but it seems to want it that way.
Hit enter.
You have to do this every time you fully shut down the computer (not when it just sleeps). I don't find that to be a problem. I just keep the codes on my desktop.

Well, i do exactly as you have said. However, my carrier still figure out that I'm using my hotspot and therefore deduct my data. Could you please tell me why? Or is it because of my macbook? I'm currently using macbook pro M2 with macos 12.4
