Breaking my head on 3g/4g Router. Please help .....

graphichasan

Hey,

I have recently moved to a village that has ok-ish 3g-4g connection using sim-card. But no broadband cable provider.

Have a Netgear R6260 AC router for all of my devices. But it does not support 3g/4g sim-card or usb modem dongle.

 

When I visited a local store I got a choice between these ...

1. go with usb modem & 3g/4g router combo using

    D-Link DWR-111 3G / TP-Link TL-MR3420 / Tenda 4G630 router with D-Link DWP-157 / D-Link DWM-222

2. or use dedicated sim-slot router like

    D-Link DWR-921 / TP-Link Archer MR200 / TP-Link MR400

 

Now I will use these new router or combo whatever only for 3g/4g, as I alreasy have Netgear R6260. Tasted speed up~25mbps - down~18mbps on android.

I would prefer 3g/4g signal strength with these setup as wifi will not be in use. I don't know which to pic.

1st options cost is half of 2nd .... but I was wondering if usb dongle have poor signal then dedicated routers .....

since you already have a router, id just get one of . the basic 4g/3g modems and run a cable between that and the wan port on your router.

basic 3g/4g modems are usb dongles ..... at list what I can find .... & they need usb router interface to work and get RJ45 port for my second router .... but is those built in sim-card routers (2nd options) have strong signal 3g/4g then usb dongles ? 3g/4g signal strength matters as I am on a remote area ....
