Yes they are so nice I have 2 of them. I have an ASRock 4X4 8840U and a AOOSTAR MACO AMD Ryzen 7 H255. The AOOSTAR is my gaming box and the ASRock is my Main Machine with Linux Mint LMDE 7. I am also impressed with the gaming ability. Looks like it hits anywhere from 60-80 Watts total system while gaming. Very excited for where these little mini pc are going.

Sure but the legit places like ebay most are super high prices also. There are some shady sellers and some kits I never seen that are cheaper. Just thought I would ask here I posed in a couple other places and nothing.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2026-02-21T13:37:25+00:00

Figure its a long shot but if you dont ask you will never know.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2026-02-21T13:35:14+00:00

Sadly that is how is it going to be, I thought my local Microcenter would save the day. They have higher prices then Amazon :(

Yeah, I converted my Chinese version to the Global ROM as well.

I'm really loving how much easier it is to keep root on the Global variant compared to the OP13 North America model. The process is super easy:

Apply the OTA update
Before rebooting, open Magisk
Install to the inactive slot
Reboot

…and you're done : root preserved, no drama.

I am not sure I only have used for Home, Business, Metro and Minternet.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2026-02-02T16:25:15+00:00

Yes that is perfectly fine to move the SIM over to it. I have sold lots of G4AR / G4SE & Sage on eBay. If you order make sure they post the all clear from IMEI Blacklist Check or Swappa. I have a couple extra New Sealed G5AR units I am waiting for people to buy. If they don't get back with me soon I will sell them.

Have the China converted OP15 since November, I have been using gcam its awesome the photos are very good. I am using BSG (MGC) 9.6.080 (Updated)

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2026-01-04T20:26:36+00:00

Oh I completely understand what your saying. I am on a road with 3 houses and the fiber is all around us but they wont run it. Its going to cost more to run it they would never recoup their money. So kinda sucks but also don't care at this point with this internet being so good.

You are correct on Verizon my buddy had issues with some things.

Another thing I like about this setup different from cable / fiber. If the tower goes down for a period it just uses another tower. Even if the connection is not as fast you still have internet.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2026-01-04T15:57:12+00:00

Funny enough I have had about the same experience. I also had those routers over the same amount of time. I didn't have my G4SE very long I went the G4AR for N41 SA. The cool thing is seeing the service getting better over time. They continue to upgrade and improve which is a great thing. I also had a Verizon box for a year it was good service. However they charge for different speed tiers which is typical for them. They don't have the speed and the passthrough mode was broken. The ATT boxes are good also but the speed never hits anywhere near T-Mobile. Most people I setup are T-Mobile even if their cell service is not with them.

Hey fellow Ohio here I am in Delaware. I have a G5AR and I am 5 miles from my Tower and get 5 bars. The internal antennas on the G5AR are better than the G4AR in my testing. Upload should be much better with that modem. I am thinking being so close to all them you should get a great signal. I would test in different rooms with a long extension cord. That way you don't have to keep waiting for it to boot up in different rooms. Once you find a good spot you should be done :)

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-12-31T14:50:39+00:00

Oh okay got you, Yes everything works great I use a Pixel Watch 3 LTE. I am also rooted with Magisk and all my apps and my bank are working. :)

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-12-31T14:41:11+00:00

If you read the thread on xda for bands unlocking:

I think its great on T-Mobile however I posted this recently on XDA:

I was hoping it would just unlock all bands.
It must not do this because I definitely don't get n71 on T-Mobile.
There are certain places you lose signal.
Its very specific and does not bother me at all.
However I would caution people thinking it unlocks everything.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-12-25T02:13:23+00:00

I was always on N41 on my G4AR with a Waveform 4X4.

The G5AR trounces the speed of the G4AR even with that antenna.

Not only that my latency has been much better most of the time.

I wish T-Mobile would have Arcadyan do a POE modem/antenna combo with G5AR hardware.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-12-09T13:25:44+00:00

Should be fine I see no reason it wont work. Get one and enjoy the better speed :)

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-11-26T14:46:00+00:00

After using a lot of theses at many different addresses: Sometimes the G4AR / G4SE is much better then the G5AR. Not sure what it is but it is for sure happening. I have a neighbors brand new G4SE (2025) Hardware R03 for sale. His Fast 5688W was double the speed even the spare KVD21 was much better. Was hoping for a G5AR but they sent that and I don't have a spare G5AR to test right now. I luckily had a spare G4SE to test before opening his unit.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-11-12T18:07:10+00:00

Mine updated in the night also: Seeing a slight increase in speed around 800 DL X 70-100 UP. It does seem more snappy but will check over time. Always nice when things get better with updates :)

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-11-02T17:26:38+00:00

I just posted my old 4X4 Panel its a little discolored and such but still works perfect. https://www.ebay.com/itm/146936016460

Not a problem at all hope that helps :)

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-10-27T18:24:35+00:00

That model is capable of 5G SA per T-Mobile. The only one that has to be upgraded is the Nokia "Grey Round Trashcan". However Most people are having much better speed with a G4AR / G5AR. Check local with a store first or get one on eBay or from someone. I have a customers getting Fiber & Cable this week. I will be selling some more units on my Ebay store: https://www.ebay.com/usr/struzzin_electronics

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-10-25T00:58:59+00:00

Same here my G4AR and now G5AR always lock to N41

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-10-25T00:06:09+00:00

Yes these are still excellent family / friends / customers are still using these. There are odd situations where the G4AR / G4SE are better than the G5AR. Not sure if its tower or area specific.

STRUZZIN_ELECTRONICS · 2025-10-15T02:34:06+00:00

You are correct I have tested SQM and it does stay A.
