Replacement Modem/Router

Recently signed up for T-Mobile Business internet. They gave me the Inseego FX4100.

I already have a Suncomm O8 Ultra on hand, with a waveform 4x4 MIMO hooked up.

The Suncomm firmware is... lacking to say the least. Also pretty sure that I've got the bad Modem firmware that prevents the 4CA.

Would the Inseego be better to stick with, or is there a better shell for the SDX75 modem from the Suncomm to live in?

I keep getting random dropouts, and I'm not sure how to fix them, the Suncomm doesn't seem to have a straightforward place to see logs in order to diagnose what's going on.

Edit: The way I have been fixing them for now is either rebooting the Suncomm/Inseego or switching the APN back and forth. The dropouts don't seem to happen on any sort of repeating time interval, so I don't know if it's some kind of traffic that T-mobile doesn't like, or what. Initially I was running a phone plan in the Suncomm, and picked up the Business internet thinking that maybe because it was a "true internet" plan, I wouldn't have those potential issues. They did already deactivate the "productivity filter" as well.

I'm also not sure why my tablet plan in a 5g tablet is getting better speeds than either the Inseego or the Suncomm.

I have cobbled this stuff together without much understanding of exactly how things work, very much an amateur in this realm of things.
