Looking for a decent LTE router!?

[ponder]

Looking for a LTE router that is rock solid in performance, accepts USB LTE stick, has good wi-fi speeds for streaming, a couple of ethernet ports? Quality above price.

Any recommendations?

I use Huawei B315s at most of my clients.

Build in Everything, wish it had a VDSL port as well

It has WAN Ethernet port, so you can use any DSL modem with B315s.

Ok so I've been reading a bit and found,

The Huawei LTE routers are known for their lack of flexibility when it comes to custom DHCP options ( they don't allow users to specify custom DNS servers as required to use Unotelly's services) and this leaves owners with 2 options if they want to use their data for streaming Hulu , Netflix etc:

The above is a major concern.

Just a note, wifi signal also sucks so your best is going to be hooking up another wifi router and use this purely as a modem.

So this is the best product out there for LTE but it's config options & wifi are not that great in other words? Surely there must be something better that can do everything well or not?

You didn't read entire thread. Quoted portion was from the first post. Post #9 brings solution to the problem.

Ok so who is the cheapest source for the HUAWEI B315s?

 

[gfmalan]

I would say Mustek are one of them

 

[sajunky]

So far it was Edgars/Jet/CNA in Telkom section R999

Who stole the speed from the LTE Dealer ?

ALL somewhat irrelevant if you get the dreaded Telkom LTE slow-down disease
Seems to be more and more prevalent ( judging from all the posts here )

CISCO have an LTE add in card

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/produc...-wan-interface-card/datasheet_c78-710314.html

or

You can add a B315s into an existing Cisco network as an LTE WWAN device
( then you can do all that other fancy stuff )
but
You still going to suffer with the TELKOM LTE speed stealing demon !

Do you have a lte mifi device to trade for my b593 router?

Hi All, the links provided are way to complicated for me. I am going from ADSL to Telkom LTE (100GB per month at R600 month to month deal). I am looking at getting either the - TP-Link M7350 http://shop.dbg.co.za/tl-m7350.html or the TP-Link M7300 - http://shop.dbg.co.za/tl-m7300.html as I prefer the mobility. This will be used to mainly connect 3 smartphones, a laptop, a wireless pc and and wired pc (can get a wireless card if needs be). I have a brand new TP-Link Archer D9 that I used with the ADSL - should I try and swop this out for a decent LTE modem/router - or should I use it with the D9 for the wired devices (and maybe to improve the wireless connections)?

Or should I swop it out for one of the other LTE desktop devices such as the TP-Link MR6400 - http://shop.dbg.co.za/tl-mr6400.html with LAN ports?

TP-link?

Would you recommend something else?
