How do you do simple balancing? I thought basic functionality is to use one sim card or the other which is what I am doing now.I used it for the Trial period and let it lapse.
Honestly, I just don’t feel the need for speed enough to pay the rent for that service. Running simple balancing seems to work fine.
If you have a single cell modem version like the Max, then yes, you’ll only be able to have one cell connection active, despite having two SIM slots.How do you do simple balancing? I thought basic functionality is to use one sim card or the other which is what I am doing now.
Thanks - I have the MAX so single modem. I should have considered the Transit DUO.If you have a single cell modem version like the Max, then yes, you’ll only be able to have one cell connection active, despite having two SIM slots.
However, I have the Transit DUO which has TWO modems. So, I use 2 SIM cards and place both Cell 1 and Cell 2 into The Priority 1 group. The Transit will do standard balancing which you can also set up and customize in the Advanced section.
Not sure I agree with that reasoning. Are you going to get better performance out of your CAT 18 or a DUO with speed fusion?Thanks - I have the MAX so single modem. I should have considered the Transit DUO.
Maybe @docj can enlighten us on the pro's and con's of Speed Fusion from a RVer use case?
I'm looking at buying the Transit Duo-12 also. So you're saying I don't have to pay the $199/yr to be able to have a sim card in each modem and have them automatically balance the cell connection? I'm not even sure we need the dual modem version but it's hardly any more money for the second modem and seems to do a lot more. I actually think a single modem with 2 sim cards doing an automatic fail over would work. However, my wife is doing medical coding and must meet a minimum number of charges per day so she can't afford to have any down time with the cell connection. This is why I'm going with the Transit duo with 2 cat 12 modems. Am I on the right track here? I'm in way over my head technologically.If you have a single cell modem version like the Max, then yes, you’ll only be able to have one cell connection active, despite having two SIM slots.

Yes. Correct, you don’t need the SF sub in order to use both SIMS/Modems simultaneously. Let’s not get too technical with advanced features and just leave it at that.I'm looking at buying the Transit Duo-12 also.
