Best router I’ve used hands down, extremely stable and just works flawlessly, very happy with my purchase and great doing business with 3G Router Store. I’ve used both ProRouter units and Teltonika, I have to say both top tier units, but for me the Teltonika is easier to use, set and forget. Thanks.

I moved into a rural area with no fibre so 5G seemed like the next best thing, but I live just outside the strong range of an EE 5G mast. I figured I’d combine this router with an external antenna to improve the signal and assumed it would be a lot of trouble to set up but I was very wrong.
I only had to put my sim card in and turn it on. It automatically grabbed the APN settings from EE. It even gets amazing reception just with the default aerials; around 130mbps when the EE ‘Smart 5G Hub 2’ router can only do 30mbps sitting in the same spot.
The on board software is great too, very versatile, easy to use, and tons of features. It even supports an SMS inbox so you can receive texts from your mobile internet number. You can even text it commands to and have it turn features on or off, restart, etc. if you can’t be bothered to login.
It’s a powerful bit of kit and even though it’s an industrial device it makes for a very robust residential router (ideal for power users) with full 5G and 4×4 MIMO support + WIFI and GPS. An amazing upgrade from the standard devices ISP’s provide.
