Posted April 3, 2016 So I may move to a new flat with no wired internet. However, I have 4G LET coverage (signal strength 2/5). Does anybody have any expereince with an LTE router? Is the latency reasonable and what speed do you get? Can you recommend a good LET router? I only need a very good RF frontend for the LTE connection and an RJ45 port.

Posted April 3, 2016 I'm using a Huawei LTE router. Ping <20. I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 3, 2016 So. I run a network in Manhattan with multiple 4g routers connected to a central location via VPN. I think I'm qualified to answer this. It depends on your carriers throughput at your location. I use Cradlepoint ibr 600lpe models. They are great as you can flash the 4g modem for any carrier. They are extremely robust and you can program most any functionality you'd need. There is even a version with a wireless ap built in. Ibr650 I believe. I have most of these in basements and the buldned antennas typically get -50dbs which is an amazing connection. For areas where signal is not so great there are tons of alternative options for antennas and cables. In one location I have an antenna coneccted 200ft away from the router. It has a wan and LAN Jack. The wan can be programmed as a LAN as well. Any questions I'm happy to answer.

Posted April 3, 2016 LTE is fine if you can get it without data caps, data caps are cancer. Huawei is a good value brand for anything 4G.

Posted April 3, 2016 My experience with them was 1. Unreliable 2. Extremely high latency 3. Expensive The tower was fairly far away so that will impact it also plans in the EU are better so expensive might not apply to you. Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 3, 2016 I have a Huawei 4G Router. Works fine. I get around 20-30ms ping. Very reliable and good.

There is a phone line from the 1960s (with a connector that is 3 generations old), but none of the ISP is able to deliver internet service on this line as the adress is not registered in thier database. I will try to get more information as the line my be bound to an other adress. But I assume the cable itself is so old that I get better speed with LTE.

The age is not that much a problem, but back in they day they didn't use properly shielded or twisted cables, so they are bad for higher frequencies. My ISP had to replace about 50 meter of cable from it's last acces point to my flat for free, as it was to old and my connection allways dropped.

Sadly I forgot to read out the actual value in dBm or running a speed test. I did some reseach and based on statistics (provided by the government and they have usually very accurate data) I have a >90 chance for a >2 MBit/s wired connection and 10-50% for >10 Mbit/s.

Posted April 3, 2016 Author @thekeemo I managed to fiugure out the name of connection point. Usually it is the same as the adress, but this one is different. With this information I can get the speed information. Only one ISP with overpriced plans delivers wired internet with 3 MBit/s up and 0.2 MBit/s down speeds - for 59$/month. No way I will pay them that much for such a slow speed.

If you are buying or renting the place chances are you will go there at least once more before signing so you can get some solid numbers. Especially since ADSL is out of the question now. Thats that.

Especially since ADSL is out of the question now. We rent and we where there yesterday to visit the flat. It's about a 1.5 hour ride (one way) from where I'm now. I'm not in the mood to drive 2.5 hours and do a 20 minutes boat trip (you can only reach the place by boat as it is sandwiched between a lake and mountains) for a 30 seconds speed test. But to be honest, the internet speed test will not change our opinion. We move because it is a remote location with only 50 inhabitants that is car free. It is a perfect place to destress and slow internet even helps to get "offline". However, I like to have fast internet in general. It's funny that people allways want to have things we don't have. As a person working with tech all day long I feel the need for nature and some "non-tech stuff".
