There is no way for you to know who is connected and there is no way for someone to know that they are connected to your Cell Booster because there is no alpha tag, other than LTE, that indicates the cellular connection. Data usage will only be counted against the account of the phone that is connected to it, not your account. Zero security is not a good thing these limit is 8 simultaneous connections for any AT&T phone that meets AT&T's LTE/5G requirements. Just assumed it would be similar to the M-cell setup. I think I will be taking this down unless they provide a way to secure my network. They have an extra radio that uses your bandwidth to extend their network. I am using my own cable modem and router instead of my ISPs for the same reason. While that may be a small possibility, I don't think I need that risk when I can just go to WiFi Calling. Just one example of the risk of an open network. If they detect it steaming through your network they break down doors and ask questions later.

They find folks sitting in cars parked outside somewhere that has an open network surfing kiddie porn. They brought up what they do for kiddie porn. The wife is a corporate attorney and went to an FBI seminar on data security. In this world of high security, I don't get why they would have such a hole except to get 'better coverage' of their network for minimal cost to the company. Something like a pair button on the Comcast modems ought to work.Īt least it was free and I got the full value that I paid for it. There are other ways to add a phone that would be easy. Looks like I will be taking this thing down. Don't want to breach the data cap for the benefit of others and AT&T. Neighbor kids could eat my data cap in a hurry. To my rear is a grocery store maybe 75 yards away through some trees.
