Can Chateu12 LTE be used as a wireless access point?

Hi, all!

I am trying to establish an internet connection to my house in a somewhat rural place with a decent LTE signal. My current layout looks this, with a couple of more wires connecting to wall-mounted sockets for wired connection.

My question is whether I can use my Chateau LTE12 just as a wireless access point/Wi-Fi router?

In essence, I would like to disable the LTE router part and would like to feed in the signal from my LHGG kit. I wasn’t able to find the question on the wiki, but then I need to preface that I do not have a background with Mikrotik (or other network equipment solutions), usually however, I can find my way around with googling. If there is a solution to this, then thank you for pointing my in the right direction!

Cheers,
Rob.

If you reset with no default configuration ticked, you should be able to quickset to AP mode.

I would advise it’s a complete waste of hardware though.

In the Quick Set menu, there is a “Home AP Dual” option that will configure it as a Wi-Fi access point with the LTE functionality disabled.

However, as mentioned above, this defeats the capabilities of the Chateau12.

I suggest getting a pair of outdoor LPDA antennas for the Chateau12, which look like two LOG periodic TV antennas tilted at +/- 45 degrees. The leads screw on to the two SMA ports of the Chateau LTE12. From my experience, I get a lot better performance than what I ever managed with the LTE4 LHG dish kit I had before getting the Chateau, mainly due to the mast I pick up being 3CA capable, i.e. 3 carrier aggregation. The LTE4 LHG is single carrier only and the newer LTE6 LHG and LHGG are both 2CA capable.
