Overview
RV travellers and rural households living on cellular internet get a fifth generation cellular gateway with two SIM slots, six detachable antennas and Wi-Fi spread across the home or van. It can balance or fail over between cellular, Ethernet, repeater and tethering links.
Dual SIM failover and multi-WAN keep a connection alive when one carrier or line drops. Throughput rises and falls with the local cellular signal, and the optional eSIM card is sold separately.
Who it's for
Full time RVers, remote workers in rural areas and small offices needing a backup line. Homes with steady wired broadband gain little from a cellular gateway.
Pros and cons
- Dual SIM with automatic failover
- Multi-WAN load balancing
- Detachable antennas, dome antenna option
- Fast WireGuard VPN
- Speed tied to cellular coverage
- ESIM card sold separately
- Cellular restricted in some countries
Performance notes
Cellular speed depends on signal quality, so antenna placement or an external dome antenna matters more than the router's Wi-Fi speed. Dual SIM runs one carrier at a time and switches on failure. VPN throughput is limited by the processor encrypting traffic, which is why WireGuard runs faster than OpenVPN.
