4G Gigabit Router C900

We bought this mobile broadband router for a remote location with no real options for high-speed data. This item works great and is a solid piece of equipment. It's made of metal and not cheap plastic. The router does require a few tweaks to get it working properly when logged into the router settings. For both AT&T and T-Mobile, choose QMI as the dialing method located on the same screen that contains the APN settings (3G/4G tab). The APN for T-Mobile should be set to fast.t-mobile.com with the dialing method set to QMI. For AT&T, the APN should be set to broadband with the dialing method set to QMI. After savings the above settings for both a T-Mobile and AT&T SIM card, both services worked perfectly with the router. Just make sure if you SIM swap with different carriers that you adjust the APN settings and dialing method accordingly. Overall, this is a high quality mobile broadband router for the money. Data speeds range from 3Mbps to 20Mbps where I am located, with a signal strength of about 58%. These speeds are adequate for our use. Of course, data speeds will vary based on location, signal strength, and the LTE band the router is connected.

Following Peter Carcione's Youtube instructions - I'm a noob, so any problems may be from my lack of skills. Fast delivery, very sturdy construction. Worked initially on individual PC, but began to lose connection. Wasn't able to try on my home network. Will change review score if I get it working consistently. Unusable as it is now.

Bought this in October 2019 and been using it for over 2 months. Using it as home internet with a T-Mobile SIM card. Initially I would only give it a 2-3 star rating. It seemed to have problems staying connected and the speeds were poor. After installing the software update, it now has been working well for the last month. My download and upload speeds are both between 30-40 mbps. I purchased and installed some paddle antennas which helped the speeds about 10 mbps. For our location I typically show 50-60 mbps download speeds on our phones. So it will not be as fast as your phone. Do not use the wireless router part since I just hooked my existing home router to it. Functionally it works well for what we use it for. Home security system and security cameras work well. We do watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube from our TV with no problems. I do not know about gaming though. I am not the sharpest tack in the box, but was able to setup and figure everything out by reading the instructions and watching a couple of YouTube videos. Peter Carcione has a couple of good YouTube videos to watch before buying and setting everything up. I have not tried to contact customer service but it seems people are having luck. One of my purchasing decisions. Overall it has been a good purchase since the software update. For $20 a month, T-Mobile SIM card, it is a good deal. Saves us about $50 per month compares to Cox. Recommended if you do not need really high speed internet.

I bought the version with the most accepted bands so I'd be able to use a Sim card from any carrier. I use an att Sim card in it now and I added the mimo proxicast antenna for another $50. So my entire set up cost about $220 between the 2 devices. The router itself works very well. You will need to be a bit tech savvy on setting it up, but a YouTuber named Peter Carcione has a nice set up video. But it may take a few mins to get the settings right for the modem to grab an ip address from your carrier. But don't let this deter you from buying it. The router itself puts out a great signal. We're an RV family and we use this out on the road. It's spreads the wifi signal quite far. I'd say it's close to 50 to 75yard radius. (I haven't tested the distance in my house for home use). The reception from the carrier with just the 2 reception antennas provided isn't great especially if indoors, but when I added the proxicast antenna, it did much better, so I highly recommend adding a mimo antenna to this thing and I recommend that antenna be outside somewhere. I give it 5 stars for doing what it needs to do. Work with the Sim card and providing good wifi coverage. Just add a good antenna to replace the 2 receiving antennas that come with it.

It took a few days to finally figure out the correct settings to make it work. Once I did, it worked perfect for 4 months. Recently it began randomly disconnecting. If I reset the router, it works again. But this happens once, sometimes twice a day. It is super annoying and a real problem when in the middle of a video call. It takes a solid 4-5 minutes to reboot every time. I am on the latest firmware as of April 22, 2021.

This is a great product and customer support is outstanding. Long story short I had an issue with the first router I received and they replaced it no questions asked. I use this router on ATT usa and pretty much run my whole house with it. Streaming direct TV now constantly and many other devices running off it and that doesn't even phase it. In the last year there has been a firmware upgrade that makes using and setting up the router much easier. It does get decent signal with stock antennas but I did put some paddle antennas on it and that made a huge difference in signal strength and gain. I have also used it with outdoor yagis and it will pull 35-50 MB when aimed correctly and the weather is decent out. All in all this is a great product and I will more than likely buy another for a mobil unit. For the price you can't beat it and I'd say it's very comparable to the MoFi unit that cost 3x more.

Really good, fast delivery, very satisfied with this.

I am using this router in our motor home. It needs 12 vdc to power so you do not have to have 120 volts (I recommend to us a DC to DC regulator for clean power) We have data sim cards for Canada USA and Mexico. The motor-home as several wifi devices and they all work as intended, however we use this with with a SFF computer with PLEX installed for watching Movies and listening to music. Works great and the price is very reasonable. You do have to work thru the "Chinglish" manual but if you have a little experience with programming a smart phone you will have no problem, I do not so it took me several emails to tech support and they got me to my programming error and then everything worked. with a better manual I would give it 5 stars

Excelente recepción de señal celular, muy buena velocidad de transferencia de datos. Las antenas para red celular funcionan muy bien incluso en interiores. No hay intereferencia con Wifi.

No logre la configuración, realicé prueba con diferentes operadores donde dice que son compatible.

Pro: It's Cheap Con: This thing is a security hazard, you cannot change the default password, the telnet session is by default open and the default password is 'admin'. When you do telnet into the router, none of the standard commands work like (dir) ls, cd, passwd, etc. So essentially you cannot change the default password and this thing is totally open for whichever hacker botnet wants to connect to your devices.
