The Good: This rugged little router is a BEAST for off-grid setups. I’ve been using it in my RV for 3 months, and the dual SIM slots saved me when AT&T had dead zones—just popped in a T-Mobile SIM as backup. The magnetic antennas? Genius for sticking to metal surfaces, and B71 band actually pulls signal where my phone shows 'No Service'. Speed-wise, I get ~80Mbps downloads (not quite the max 150Mbps but solid for streaming).
The Gotchas: Setup is NOT beginner-friendly. Had to manually input APN settings (vzwinternet for Verizon users), and the manual might as well be hieroglyphics. Support responded in 3 days but their 'debug and wait' approach felt like passing the buck. Also, the 'DTU for IoT' feature? Awesome if you’re tech-savvy—I hooked up solar cameras via RS485, but my non-engineer friend gave up halfway.
Real-World Win: During a storm that knocked out local ISPs, this kept my security cams online via cellular failover. The built-in VPN (OpenVPN works best) adds peace of mind for sensitive data.
Verdict: 4/5 stars. Perfect for techies needing industrial-grade remote access, but casual users might rage-quit during setup. Pro tip: Buy a data-only SIM from carriers upfront—phone SIMs work smoother per other reviews.
