Pros and cons

Pros

Mobile broadband through a Nano SIM can provide an internet option where fixed broadband is unavailable or as a backup.
Four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports offer wired connections for devices such as TVs and PCs.
Selectable cellular, Wi-Fi router and WISP modes suit more than one network setup.
VPN server and client options, guest networks and remote control provide network-management features.

Cons

The Ethernet ports are specified at 10/100 Mbps, which limits wired link rates compared with gigabit Ethernet.
The Nano SIM is not included, so mobile service requires a separately obtained SIM and plan.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives inconsistent band information: it calls the router dual-band and specifies separate 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz rates, but also lists its frequency band class as Single-Band and gives Frequency as 5 GHz. The title claims a 4-port router and the feature description lists four Ethernet ports, while a separate details field says Number of Ports: 2. Check the exact unit and port configuration in the selected listing before purchase. Advertised cellular and Wi-Fi rates are manufacturer claims, not guaranteed speeds.

Customer feedback describes the router as reliable and easy to configure, with positive comments about signal strength and streaming. Reports on speed and connectivity are mixed, and appearance also draws differing views. For buyers choosing it as a 4G or backup router, those mixed reports matter because the listed 150 Mbps LTE figure is a maximum claim, not a promise of the speed a particular network or location will deliver.

Positive themes

Customers report reliability, straightforward configuration and good signal strength.

Mixed feedback

Customer feedback on speed and connectivity is mixed, with reports ranging from good performance to disappointing speeds.
Views on the router's appearance differ.
