Teltonika RUT955 Compact Industrial 4G LTE Wi-Fi Dual SIM Cellular Wireless Router with Serial Interfaces

We live in a rural location and years ago gave up battling with BT to get a good broadband connection - it used to drop out with the slightest rain or windy conditions for days at a time, and the best speed we ever got was about 2Mb/sec but it was usually a lot slower than that. We accepted that it was probably about as good as we would ever get. I read about using a 4G connection for home internet (mostly from other rural ex BT customers), thought about it for a while and decided to give it a try. Bought this box together with an unlimited data SIM card, and a decent YAGI 4G antenna. Am I pleased that I did!! On plugging in the SIM card and powering up the box on just the supplied mini aerials indoors immediately I had 2M/sec, and we live in an area that according to the network operator doesn't even have an outdoor signal. I now have the proper antenna working attached to the side of the house, and after aligning it for the best signal I was absolutely delighted to see that I have a 40-50Mb/sec service. And.... no dropping out, it just keeps working! The router itself is tiny, but still has 3 LAN sockets, 4 if you use the menu option of using the WAN socket as another LAN socket. The wireless is as good as on our old ASUS router. Plenty of options, more than I will ever need to use, very easy to set up. Overall I am just astounded at how well this box works.

I wanted a router for a robotics project, I had researched many options but the Teltonika really ticked all the boxes and a few more. The functionality I have used so far is the ability to to connect to another WiFi service and use it as a WAN and then fail over to the 4G connection. Currently I use the router in this is configuration to bridge a connection from the office to a field 100m away. The second feature I currently use is the ability to sms the router simple commands and get information back. It also allows me to turn services on and off just by a simple message. Theres also the ability to power this device off a battery(dc to RUT955 cable sold separately). The power range s from 9v - 30v. Having checked the power consumption ratings in the documentation, 24v is the most efficient. My next mission is to deploy a vpn connector directly onto the router using one of its supported services. Some things to be aware of(after 6 weeks of trying and failing) Your mobile service provider will always provide a public IP, but the router doesn't always see it as public, in short, its public to the mast then private to the router. This is a bit of an issue if you want to ssh into the router over the Internet using a ddns. The device isn't always great at reporting what speed you actually get. I have linked it to my home network and had 4k streaming services and other network traffic yet the sleedteoshown a connection of 4Mbps down and 1Mbps up, this was obviously garbage seeing as I tracked 100mbps concurrent traffic using a network monitor. To end, great device, smaller than I expected, works great.

Set this up in a boat to act as router from either a Wi-Fi marina feed or via mobile, i.e. 3g or 4g signal. This has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The internet has been steady on both inputs and it is relatively easy to switch between the two. FYI, I'm using a Ubiquiti bullet to pick up Wi-Fi and send the signal to the wan input of the teltonika. My only issue and hence the 4 stars, I upgraded the router firmware shortly after setting it up and then experienced periodic drop outs on Wi-Fi connections to third party devices, i.e. iPad etc. after a lot of investigation it turns out to be the firmware and after downgrading has worked with no issues. I run it 24/7 to access security cameras and fire detectors on board. There is a comment about missing parts below, the unit doesn't come with a GPS aerial and you dont need one.

This very expensive LTE router does everything ... but nothing well! Speeds were shockingly slow (3-4mb/s when my iPhone was getting 200+mb/s in the same location). If you need all the extra functions, such as MQTT, custom routing, etc, or using this for IoT with it's small payloads, then I'm sure it will solve a lot of problems. But as an LTE router it's pretty much useless. I solve the speed problem. I sold this Teltonika on eBay, and bought a GL.iNet GL-X750 (Spitz). A third of the price, and 10x the speed! Extremely happy with my GL.iNet and very disappointed with the RUT955

After Tethering through my mobile and working from home for weeks in this Covid19 lock down This router is the answer to not have home broadband (not available in my area for fast speed the best they could offer was 6 mbps) This Teltonika RUT955 LTE 4G Router gave me a +20 to 22 DBM increase to the signal from my cell tower which is around a mile away, this is due to the aerials that it comes with, this made all the difference between having applications and VPN dropouts and having a stable and fast 4G LTE connection, Ok I have only used it for one day so far but could not be more impressed It has allowed to have multiply Ethernet connection to the router so not relying on WiFi but it has WiFi if you want to use it. If like me you are not IT then Teltonika offer a remote management service as an add on Also the router has a firewall with SMS services builtin so you never mist that text message It comes with two 4 inch anteners that help boot the signal and is all I need to improve my connection I did do a spead test and his router has increased from 5 mbps to 12 mbps as apposed to tethering through a mobile. This router for me was worth every penny and I would recommend it to everyone who uses 4G services I am hoping that in the future this will do 5G or Teltonika bring out firmware for 5G or have a future a product for 5G

Connexion 4G sur le site du Club F6KPQ, fonctionnement parfait avec une antenne double 4G extérieure. Attention il existe 3 bundle, un sans antenne GPS, un avec antenne GPS et le dernier avec antenne GPS et support pour rail Oméga.

Alles ok

Es un router caro pero la calidad general se nota. Se ve que está hecho para aguantar situaciones extrema. Lo he instalado en mi autocaravana y sin problemas. Recepción excepcional. Lo único malo es que el conector de alimentación es, al parecer, específico de esta marca y no lo encuentras por ningún sitio. Si necesitas uno, como es mi caso, hay que pedirlo por internet a un precio absurdamente caro.

Prodotto estremamente robusto e professionale, (la marca è sinonimo di garanzia) le temperature di lavoro garantiscono l'operatività in diversi ambienti compresi quadri industriali grazie alle molteplici soluzioni di fissaggio. Il rut 955 non è solo un router ma un dispositivo che racooglie più tecnologie centralizzandole in un solo sistema. La ricezione dei segnali radiomobili è buona così come quella dei segnali gps. Non esiste un manuale in italiano ma la programmazione è semplice ed intuitiva, ho avuto solo qualche intoppo nella configurazione delle mail. La gestione degli ingressi/uscite è di una versatilità mai viste, è possibile fare qualsiasi cosa comprese misure di corrente e tensione utili per informare su stato di batterie e utilizzatori. il 955 è interfacciabile con le piattaforme di localizzazione a pagamento di teltonika, gpsiot etc., ma funziona tranquillamente anche slegato da costoro informando in tempo reale l'utente su posizione, stato ingressi,uscite, allarmi etc mediante sms ed e-mail. Gli sms vengono utilizzati anche per la telegestione del dispositivo stesso compresi ingressi e uscite. Funzione molto utile, l'attivazione di uscite grazie al riconoscimento di uno squillo telefonico con id chiamante. Io ho installato il rut955 sul mio camper collegato all'antifurto cna, oltre alla connessione internet wifi e lan in caso di intrusione vengo avvisato da sms ed e-mail ed in caso di furto riesco a geolocalizzarlo. quando voglio sapere la tensione della batteria effettuo uno squillo e mi rtorna una mail con tutti i parametri che voglio sapere comprese le coordinate gps direttamente visibili in forma grafica su google map. Tutto quello che ho elencato è solo una piccola parte di quello che questo gioiellino può fare. Prodotto cosigliatissimo.

Bonjour Ce routeur est employer pour superviser les données de mes onduleurs et avoir en direct la production de chacun et éventuellement les anomalies, sont fonctionnement est pour le moment très satisfaisant.
