Reliable Mobile Router

[full bridge rectifier]

Does anyone know if there is like a non plus ultra reliable mobile router

so it doesnt even have to be super fast, but the one, that came with my 9 euro monthly bill is just not reliable enough for that kind of server setup I need

thanks in advance

I dont know what a non plus ultra reliable mobile router means. And i have professionally set up network environments. (or at least made it look like i did).

 

First lets get things straight.

I'm guessing you're wanting to use your cellular data connection for a server/PC setup?

Do you already have hardware, if so which one(s). Also are you willing to use those again?

Also do you want a simple data-router in 1 device or do you want a proper router that has 4G access? Since there is a difference.

 

Put some more info down if you want better help.

Long time ago, i used TP Link 3420 which accept USB cellular modem.

Install Openwrt to unlock advance functions.

Okay sure

So "non plus ultra" is just a german paraphrase meaning "very good"

i'm searching for exactly such a 4g router, which does allow me to use a data plan,(purchased for this use) in form of a simple sim card 

i doesnt have to have a battery or something

i just want to have a very reliable router that uses lte/4g/5g

Do as @SupaKomputasaid. Get a decent/good router that has USB and buy a 4G usb dongle and put it in. Best of both worlds.

(Do make sure the router can accept the 4G dongle. and that the dongle itself is for the right frequencies (if you buy it in Germany it will be good).

 

That way you can use the router as you would normally and use the 4G connection to go online. (benefit being you could also put in hardline internet and use both)

Not really, it can go on for days if you have stable cellular signal.

I don't know any newer alternative since people don't use cellular modem anymore.
These routers are very picky with the usb dongles, so research that first.

I recommend usb dongle with antenna / available pigtail socket.
