That’s a interesting approach. However, I’ve already invested a lot of money in setting up my home workspace and equipment. I’d prefer to find a solution that allows me to make the most of what I’ve already established.

Hi again,

I understand that it might not be feasible to know the specifics of every router model, so I won’t list various options. Instead, I’m wondering if it’s possible at all for a commercial 5G router, like the Netgear MR5200, to bypass IMEI detection issues. If there’s a chance, what specifications or features should I look for in a router to increase the likelihood of it working with the SIM card without detection? If this approach is too uncertain, I’ll use a cheap 5g capable phone as a modem instead.

Hi there,

First off, a big thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed solution! I really appreciate it!

I should clarify a bit more about what I’m looking for, though. My ideal setup is to use a second SIM card directly in a router, without involving my phone at all. This way, I can keep my phone free for regular use and mobility while a separate router manages my home internet needs.

Given your knowledge on the topic, do you think it’s possible to set up something like this, especially with the carrier’s restrictions? I’m curious if there’s a specific type of router that could work around these limitations?
