WORKS WITH T-MOBILE TABLET SIM!

This is absolutely what I need since I moved to the woods. I have a T-mobile, I bought a sim card from ebay and was able to register this sim card as a tablet line as it has unlimited data compared to the more expensive hotspot line. I've tried unlocked devices and dedicated T-Mobile hotspots with my line of tablets with no success. It worked out of the box with no fuss. This product is a must have for those who want to save a few bucks without paying for rural internet. This has reception as good as, if not better than, your phone. Below are the instructions I wrote to help you share this connection with the whole family! NOW, those of you looking to share that connection with Windows 10's built-in hotspot are out of luck. To make it work, change it from "Tethering" to "NDIS" in the Cricket app settings when it's not tethered, otherwise you won't be able to change it. Now for the semi-complex part. Open Notepad and paste the following lines in it and also edit it according to your needs: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=WHATYOUWANTYOURWIFINAMETOBE key=WHATYOUWANTYOURPASSWORDTOBE keyUsage=persistentnetsh wlan start hostednetwork Now save it in the desired location and name it it with the ending " . bat" INSTEAD of ".TXT". Then double-click the .bat file to start networking. Now open the Network and Sharing Center and open Change adapter settings on the left side of the window. You will see the cellular network device from huawei and the new network. Microsoft hosted right click on the cellular network and then properties click on the sharing tab and allow other devices to connect to the new microsoft hosted network pain for the initial setup but all this is optional but necessary when you want to share one connection throughout your home.
