It is in such situations that a 4G router will come to the rescue, which was created in order to distribute the Internet.
Who needs such a router?
First of all, the device will satisfy the regions in which there is simply no cable Internet. Countryside villages, businesses outside the city, seasonal resorts. Even outdoors, far from civilization, you can set up a Wi-Fi network. True, you need a voltage converter, for example, from a car cigarette lighter.

Advantages and disadvantages of a 4G router with a SIM card
The main advantage of the device is full functionality. You need to turn it on, perform automatic configuration and you can safely use it. A pleasant moment - the 4G router demonstrates excellent stability in operation. No load, under load, when transferring large files, small - it works perfectly.
Surprised in the router coverage. The device completely covers a suburban area of 10 acres with a Wi-Fi network. There is no need to expect high speed characteristics from 2.4 GHz. But even in this standard, a 4G router delivers 70 megabits per second for upload and download. In general, this criterion depends more on the coverage of the mobile operator. But there are no questions about the router.
By the way, the manufacturer made fun. The specification indicates a speed of 450 megabits per second per download. Only the Wi-Fi 2.4 standard does not support this, and the LAN ports are rated at 100 Mb / s.
The disadvantages could be attributed to the price. Still, $ 50. But the router simply has no competitors in this segment. There are professional solutions for businesses, but their price tag starts after $ 200. Unpleasant moments include freezing of the Internet when connecting 5 or more mobile devices. The chip cannot handle the load. But it is unlikely that in the country or in an open field, you need to connect so many equipment to the Internet.
