I have recently migrated from a DSL internet setup which was becoming increasingly dated and unreliable, a problem of living in a rural area where only one 'phone company has a monopoly on services.I was cautious and did not want to commit financially to a big outlay for an idea that might not work so I purchased this Cudy N300 as a lower cost experimental introduction to cellular internet. I only need to say I am extremely pleased and satisfied with the result. The Cudy N300 was inexpensive, simple to set up and provides excellent performance. I believe I am about a mile from the cellular antenna the Cudy uses but it performs well with no external antenna. I just measured my up/down speeds and presently have 14M download and 7 M upload, this compares with 1.8 and 0.9 with the DSL system. I have seen values as high as 25/18 on other occasions with no other arrangements than positioning the Cudy on an upper floor near a window and roughly pointing it in the direction of the cellular antenna.Originally our family has had cellular service with AT&T with home landlines and internet provided by the "other" company. I have transferred all services to AT&T on their Premier plan so presently we have three cellphones, an Apple watch and two data sim. cards with AT&T who have been amazingly helpful and patient during the complex transition to their service. The two data sim cards are interchangeable in the Cudy, each card has 50Gb of data time so if I run out of data on one card (which may happen near the end of the period) I simply switch the sim card in the Cudy and off we go again.This is not an advertisement for AT&T but it is relevant to the concept of changing to an all cellular service. Our original land line service with internet and add-ons was costing us $104 per month. This service has been terminated. The increase in cost of our cellular service with AT&T, for one cellphone line and two data sim cards, is $45. Not bad since we get improved internet service together with a $60 dollars a month saving.I gave 3 stars for tech support, average, not because it was deficient but I simply did not need it so I can't give a true score..

I'm not usually one to write reviews, but was blown away at the simplicity and effectiveness of this product and just had to share!I bought this months ago along with a data-only SIM from Google Fi. We live in Florida and you never know when disaster may strike.Strike it did - in the form of Hurricane Ian. The cable for our Xfinity connection is currently laying in our yard.I activated the data sim using my phone, pulled the router out of it's box, inserted the SIM card and said a prayer.Low and behold, it immediately connected - I used the network name and password off the bottom of the box - was online in under a minute.Yeah it's not the world's fastest connection, but I wasn't expecting that and it's perfect for what we need.Couldn't be more pleased - and the rest of the family thinks I'm a genius!

So far so good with wifi, fixed our issue

I bought this to replace my T-mobile Franklin T10 hotspot. My hotspot didn't restart in the event of a power loss and I had to keep fiddling with it to get it to connect to all 4 of my cameras because 2 of them are pretty far away (one's about 70 feet). I took the sim out of that and plugged it into this router, booted it up, and it worked right away. All the cameras connected right away as well (after I changed the SSID to my hotspot name). I did have to move the antenna's a little to get the best signal but it was going through several walls and there were about 8 wifi networks in the area to contend with. After a few minutes of setting it up it was good to go. I didn't have to manually enter an APN, as some reviews have said that's needed, instead there were just a couple options on the drop down menu for T-mobile and one of them was the APN my hotspot was set up to use. It's only 4G so the speed wasn't very fast... about 10 mbps. It's probably the area my property is in impacting the speed, but it was still plenty fast enough for my cameras, which is the sole reason I bought it. If you need a wifi router to replace a hotspot on T-mobile, and you're just running some Wifi security cameras, this should work pretty well.

As soon as you join the network the signal flashes and you get no internet service! Tried in several locations, different homes and it does the same thing every time! Can’t return due to me trying for one month it’s past return date!

I’ve been using for a long time and use a regular sim card with internet. Gets the job done

It gets the job done for short periods of time 6-9months no problems and then you find the downside is software updates. One day all my routers all went down together and required me to drive (and fly) to all my sites to click a single button to reenable the routers after an update. I started swapping them out for the Inhand routers and when it happened a second time to my Cudy’s, only a few sites went down on me.

Good
