Yes, I want this and more. I have one LHGR + R11e-LTE-US kit. It’s works as expected and better than other solutions I have tried, but having CAT4 only modem is whack! I need a modem that supports 2, 4, 5, 12, 13 (for Verizon), 14 for AT&T, 17, 30 and 66. These are the once available in my area, I am sure a much larger set is need to cover most of the regions.
I did find it weird that my LHGR got better signal from the rear, instead of front.
I am planning to buy another LHGR or SXTR and install a CAT12+ modem in there. But I would really prefer a LHGR or SXTR that supports 2 modems with 2 SIMs.
My opinion is to calm down on the LTE and work on critical feature gaps like IPv6.
LTE is of very limited use here in the states. At best it’s focused around delivering a small quantity of data per month. It’s typically isolated to out of band management uses, emergency wireline replacement, or for use of low throughput services like credit card processing.
Lastly, your lack of acceptable IPv6 features affects a significant and growing number of users across service types including LTE delivered services.
16MB FLASH?!.. FACEPALM
Seriously, guys… this is getting ridiculous. Mikrotik have problems fitting ROS into such small space (and it probably means less time is spent on actual development as a result) and yet it STILL releases new devices with such small flash, must be really important to save that penny in price difference. Even the cheap Tenda routers have more…
Also interesting note of ROS 7, if true, it’s possible that first “”““stable””“” version may be announced on next MUM…
16Mb is enough for RouterOS, and this is a CPE device that ISP gives for home users, you will not use advanced logging or user manager here. I would even say, that most users of this one will not know it runs RouterOS
completely agreed. We hang other routers off these like it were a docsis or dsl modem and nothing more. I have a few that I run capsman on the WiFi but that takes no extra storage and that’s the most complicated version I’ve configured.
I have been anticipating new LTE devices from Mikrotik, so this is no surpise.
Seems like a good device, but not much of use in USA, at least not in my area.
I need ATT & Verizon bands.
But I am with you, I rather have RBLGHR with improved antenna design and let me just put my US modem in it.
If they make RouterOS larger than 16 megabyte what happens to backwards compatability, it goes out the window. That would be [emoji1751][emoji1751][emoji3601][emoji1751][emoji3603]
My guess is they would continue to use same concept they use now with main package and extra packages. Perhaps a base + add-on type of solution or device generation specific binaries.
I guess that would work, it just doesn’t seem their way to fragment and I applaud MikroTik for this. Where else can you purchase a 5 year old device that is still supported without paying additional yearly costs.
And you have USB port who give you a possibility to add additional GB of storage and you can replace it - the same problems have got all person with RasberyPi on SD card’s - storage is not important but BadBlock’s and limited write operation.
The Chinese (as in Huawei) is putting out millions of these kind of CPE devices. Costs next to nothing according to people in the business. Basically gives them away when you are running their LTE equipment, to kill of other competitors. Are you sure you can compete in that segment?
Will have to cross our fingers for a Huawei-ban in more countries
Why support that then those kinds of practices are hurtful to the industry as a whole and results in decreasing the quality and selection of equipment which is hurtful to customers. I hope some day to see a “fair trade” systems like they have for agriculture and textiles for electronics. Would be nice not to have to worry that our equipment was being manufactured in slave labor conditions and would force companies to focus on the quality of their equipment.
Phone gives me up to 370/24 Mbps ( Galaxy S8 - 2017 )
Routerboard 38/16 Mbps, and yes they confirmed there is bug with modem firmware, but no respond from support when they release update.
So basically, today at least in Croatia everything below CAT20 is useless, because almost all phones after 2017 is at least CAT18.
It will be nice to first make your modem work properly
