KuWFi Outdoor 4G Router with SlM Slot, 300Mbps High Speed, 4 High Gain Antennas, lP67 Weatherproof, 48V PoE Sim Card Router Support for Security Cameras/Switch, Plug & Play

I bought this 4G router as an experiment. I need to use 4G broadband in my rural location as BT won't provide anything above 500k without me lining their pockets with several thousand pounds, so mobile broadband seemed to be the way to go.I have been running a Three sim card and Huawei router with external antenna for 2 years, with typically 4 to 5mb download and 1 to 2mb up. This was an 8 fold increase on my BT telephone line for about the same price! However as I investigated it, it was looking like an external modem - such as this one - might gain me some bandwidth as the distance from the existing external antenna to the router meant I was losing almost all the 'gain' from the aerial in the length of co-ax.So - I decided for a little over £50 it was worth a try with this external modem.I was concerned about how waterproof this router would be - I live in an exposed part of Yorkshire and the router would be sure to take a 'hammering' if I mounted it up on my satellite mast. I asked the question of the seller who assured me it was IP65 rated, so it should be sufficient for the exposure up on my roof.When the unit arrived, I was impressed to see that the external antenna were supplied with o rings to seal where they are mounted with the case and that caps were provided for the optional slots to the removable casing where the LAN cable plugs in - in other words, yes it appears to meat the IP rating of 65 and I think would survive in the great british outdoors.Setting up the router was relatively simple and was effectively plug and play. A little bit of tweaking to disable some of the defaults via an IP address login was a sensible precaution before leaving the network open to the world. The user interface is a little primitive and doesn't have the GUI of say a Huawei router - but everything is there if you want to alter the router settings.Performance wise - this router matched my Huawei + external antenna performance when indoors (this includes through my 3 ft thick walls - so I think very impressive. Outside it just excels in performance and has effectively doubled my internet speed - which is why I can happily logon to Amazon and write this review.What the routers endurance outside and reliability will be like, I don't know for certain as I'm operating it indoors at the moment - it's been a little too windy and wet to be installing aloft at the moment!In summation - this external modem router was an absolute delight and one of those (rare) occassions where I bought something without a lot of hope of success, only to be blown away by it's performance and value - 5 stars - cos I can't give 6 :)

Worked ok for about a week. Then started dropping wifi and needing resets. After 2 weeks it just died completely. Trying to return for a refund but with no printer i need to walk over a mile to a drop off point that can print the label. Combination of a poorly made poor quality product with no customer support from the seller or amazon now. Avoid like the plague. Was used indoors in a cool dry area with both a wireless and ethernet connection in the end. Useless.

I bought this to provide a WiFi connection to 2 CCTV cameras at my stable yard, so I wanted to power it from a 12v power supply and to connect to a 4G network where there is no fixed internet.Very quick & easy to set up, insert the SIM card and it connects, no configuration.Once set up, has not caused me any need to worry about it. It provides a handy stats page showing network usage for the current month, which is useful for a metered 4G connection.I've been using it now for 6 months and it has not gone wrong at all, provided decent coverage and tolerated being in a dusty and cold environment (horse yard)

This device has very innovative look and design.It can lie flat, can stand vertically (stand provided in the package), can be attached to the wall or to the pole.It can be used indoor, but manufacturer promise it can also work outdoor.Apart of the LTE router itself, box contains detachable antennas with seals, stand, rather short Ethernet cable, POE power supply, and colour printed manual.As promised by manufacturer - device don't need configuration to start working. Just insert SIM card, turn it on, and you can connect to WiFi and start using it.Device has also one WAN/LAN connector which can be used as backup WAN source, or as LAN - to connect devices without WiFi connectivity.Device can be powered with supplied POE brick, or with typical 12V 1.5A power adaptor with barrel plug.If POE brick is used, Ethernet signal is available on power brick, not on the device.All that is very nice up to now, but there are also some concerns - mainly about performance and available settings.LTE with full signal strength can achieve just 49Mbit download, while my old router in this place can do 98Mbit, so it's not even close do declared "up to 150Mbit".Didn't test the performance of WiFi, but signal was strong and stable - no connectivity issuesTalking about Web Interface - LTE section is rich in options - it has everything what is needed.In WiFi section also seams to be plenty of options, however I was not that much interested with Wifi, as I've ordered it for its LTE features.Unfortunately for me, the device has no modem mode, so I was unable to attach external IP (LTE) to WAN port of my main router.Apart from that, I was unable to use SpeedTest by Ookla - page loads up, but can't connect to any server.It looks like blocked for purpose - when I connect my old router speed test works.Because of problems with Ookla, I had to use fast.com - which measured every time no more than to 49Mbit.I don't mind speedtest.net, but if this device blocks something which is not listed anywhere in the settings - how do we know it won't block something really important?It doesn't look right.Apart from that device looks like not very well supported, so I wouldn't hope for further improvements .Device is on the market for some time already, but no any firmware update available to download on manufacturer's website - just manual and leaflet.Device is advertised as outdoor internet supply for use by cameras etc. I think for that perfect it may be really good, but as home router - maybe for people with very limited needs, or as as backup.

I needed an outdoor router to view some cameras on a remote farm building. An unlimited 3 network SIM card from 'SMARTY' at £18 per month slotted into the base of this unit and away it went. Just worked out of the box. Despite a rural location and a weak network signal it does its job day in day out. I cannot comment on whether it has all the advanced features for a sophisticated network, but for a basic system I do not think it can be beaten at this price.
