Best LTE Router (based on your experience)

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hi all,

I’m looking for the best (based on your experience) LTE router that can be connected to hAP AC (RB962) to keep a persistent internet connection. I know it is very subjective so I would appreciate a few words to support your claim.

I am looking for answers based on personal experience.

Also, if you recommend another hardware setup (PCIe + router etc.), I’m more than happy to listen to your experience and recommendations.

Thanks a bunch,
Krzysztof

few days ago my customer have very interesting order. He has LTE sim card and have one cisco 2960G. For this setup i used rb912UAG-5HPnD. And then i made on ethernet port vlans/firewall. I prefer make shaping directly on switch. This configuration was cheap and it is still mikrotik

Hi Kurosudo,

am looking something for a small business - 2 people with 5-6 network devices. It should be robust, but on the cheap side.

We use RB960PGS with Huawei E3372h with great success… gl

Can we use RBwAPR-2nD&R11e-LTE as modem/router for 4G/LTE connection ?

I bought one and tested it on T-Mobile in the US.

After I added the APN… the unit connected to the T-Mobile Network and worked like any other Mikrotik router. I used the wireless on it and it was a typical 2.4 Ghz radio.

I went back in and set the unit to something like “passthrough”. One I did this… the Tik connected and passed the IP from the ISP to my computer like a modem.

So I am looking to try an install with the wAP LTE as a Modem only. Just have not had a chance yet.

I have been using Cradlepoint for years. The Cradlepoints have a LTE Advanced Modem. So if LTE Extreme comes to the city… the cradlepoint can get a faster connection.
On the wAP LTE… it has 3G and 4G. So its MORE LIKELY to connect when moved around like on “the taco truck”.

Thanks for update gotsprings!!!

I was looking something modem/router 4g/lte based on mikrotik (2in1) for remote client to get connected to internet without dedicated 4g/lte modem + extra tik router.
So i am guessing i will need to try same setup like you have and see how it goes. Hope it will work.

Connect ether1 to a switch.
Connect you computer to that switch.
You get a 192.168.88.0/24 address and a fully functional router.
Procure the right sized Sim and activate it.
Go into the LTE interface, and add the ISP/carrier APN…
Then I was connected.

If the wAP LTE were 10/100/1000 and had one of the newer processors… I could see this… with a managed switch to be a router with a wired ISP as the primary. Then rolling over to cellular when needed.

What about this SXT LTE kit ? Could this be used too for the same purpose ?

SXT has dual Sims. But no WiFi.
So SHOULD???

Ok this would not fit my purpose (2in1). But as i got some information it will be good for rural area to get connected to 4g/lte. Thanks again gotprings for nice conversation. Now i have all answers.
