LINOVISION Industrial 4G LTE Cat4 Cellular Router with Wi-Fi, Enhanced Signal for Remote Sites, Dual SIM Slots, DTU Gateway for RS485 devcie, IoT Sensors, Solar Power Cameras, M2M, Vehicles

Great little router. I use Ting Mobile to power these so that I can skip months and pay as I go. Beats paying 5x the money for a Cradlepoint. Get it, they work!

TL; DR - The user manual is superficial and poorly written. Support is lacking. Setting this router up is an exercise in futility.I am effectively able to use this router as a a cellular modem (ie., able to connect to the internet while connected to the modem via eth or wifi) but there is some sort of firewall in place that prohibits me from accessing the router/network remotely. The only way I was able to overcome that obstacle was to set up a VPN (in which case I was able to access the router remotely) but even then, I was unable to access devices connected to the network. I program for a living and have tried all obvious and many not-so-obvious solutions but nothing worked. It's built on a nix platform so I could jailbreak it and make it do what I want it to do but that's not what I paid for and I do not want to do that.

This product is awesome, allows me to set up remote Ethernet connections with security. Even allows for WiFi connection which can be turned off. It has dual port device meaning it can have two cellular providers, a backup.

First, I could not get this device to work, and that's likely because this is more of a commercial device designed for business use rather than a friendly consumer product. Based on my email exchanges with Tech Support, the reason I was having problems is that it's apparently designed for a phone SIM and I had a data only SIM. They claimed I could make it work by contacting Verizon and perform some operation that they did not clearly specify. I'm not a cell engineer and while I had an inkling on what they wanted me to do, I was not in the mood to play around with it.I will say that their tech support responded to each query quickly, and the device itself seems to be quite sturdy. It also seems to be designed for making vending and other devices into IOT devices. That's great, and I'm betting there's a lot of business people who will like it, but I simply wanted a better hotspot than the little hockey puck I currently use.

Great little LTE modem/router. Works just as described.

The manufacture claims to be in Plano Texas I was specifically looking for something American made…. This is not it’s just more Chinese junk I’ll at least give it a shot but nothing is manufactured in Plano

I purchased 2 of these; the first one had a defective SIM socket. The card would slide into the socket with almost no friction, so if the router was tilted or bumped in almost any direction the SIM card would slide out of place. Router #1 returned.The second one had a good SIM socket, however the IMEI was locked. I attempted to use AT&T, T-Mobile, and Mint SIM cards. In all cases, the correct APN settings were used, however in all cases" registration denied" is shown as the cellular status. All of these SIM cards work fine in my other devices. On further research, it appears that the IMEI associated with this router is locked. Without knowing the carrier, it is challenging to unlock. Certainly not worth my time. Router #2 returned.I sent Linovision an email and attempted a "chat" for support on their website; the chat said "sorry we missed you" and after about 6 days I have not yet received a reply to the email. So, no help from the manufacturer. Thank goodness Amazon returns are easy.After receiving 2 defective routers and no tech support, this router earns 1 star from me.

Have installed two of these now, first was put into service about 8 months ago. Activation was very simple. Using AT&T on both, both in relatively weak signal areas. Connection has been consistent, fast enough for the purpose, and the devices haven't locked up or otherwise caused problems. Will almost certainly be buying a few more of these for other locations.
