Anyone using MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM4 4G/LTE Router?

I was wondering if anyone is using this cellular router? If so, what carrier do you find has the best coverage in the campgrounds/areas you go to. And, do you have external antennas installed or just use the stock stubbies?

Thanks in advance,
Todd

    I went with the pricey Panorama 5 in 1 MIMO antenna. It's low profile and important for a fiberglass roof, does not require a ground plane, it has one built in.

    I mounted on top of my fridge vent which was perfect because I ran the wire down the fridge plenum. Just had to drill 3/4" hole in fridge vent, works great.

    I may end up using the other 3 elements (wifi and gps) if I get a Peplink or Cradlepoint router.
  • Yes, I'm using the 4-antenna version of this 4G LTE router using a T-Mobile SIM card. Working great. No issues at all. Besides WiFi, has four Ethernet connections which I use for a PC and Blu-Ray streaming player.

    I currently use a WiFi Ranger with a AC791L jetpack and a external MIMO antenna. I highly recommend an external antenna setup, mine consistently gets 10 db better signal on the antenna.

  • I am not, but from what I have heard it a decent piece of hardware with extremely buggy software.
    It a rebranded Chinese router with some software mods, that can be had for much less if your so inclined: http://www.zbtlink.com/products/router/ZBT-WE826T.html

    I am probably going over to a Peplink or Cradlepoint LTE router once Peplink releases their CAT6 versions.
