I want to buy a RouterOS router into which I can put a LTE (1800MHz) sim card. Which ones are good for that?
I believe I need to buy additional MicroPCI cards that I can then put into the router. Is this a industrial grade solution?
In my tests I found that the solution of USB LTE cards, that I put into a normal router works at best for a few hours,
and at some time drops, then has issues with inbound ports being reachable, etc.
When I have that, is it then possible, to assign the public IP address that I receive from LTE, to exactly one
computer that I would then connect to the router via ethernet cable. (The software that I have does not
work in NAT, and by not being in NAT, it would work without having a tunnel or VPN connection)
Thanks!

Any router with the mPCIe slot and SIM slot will work fine. Not really an industrial solution but near to it. mPCIe modem have a much higher temperature ranger and lower power consumption than USB modems and are designed to run constantly.

No sure about inbound ports being reachable, but USB modems are not all equal or reliable, especially in hotter weather if they’ve been running a long time.

So you want the MikroTik router to connect to the internet then forward it to another router or to a PC?
I have my router configured to run like an ADSL modem. http://www.scribd.com/doc/82742398/Solar-Relay-v2
I’m only really somewhat knowledgeable in RouterOS to do what I need, I’m sure someone else with more of a clue will post in a while.
