Zyxel4G LTE-A Cat.18 Outdoor Router with PoE. No PSU included [LTE7490-M904]

Have been using one of these 4G/LTE units for a couple of years now as no FTTP available and useless connection over copper. Binned off the landline and using a business grade EE SIM can get download connection speeds of up to 300mb at times depending on contention etc. Designed for outdoor use with POE, have mine located internally with clear line of sight through a window to the nearest mast. A novice may find the set up a little tricky and a separate AP is required for Wi-Fi - the inbuilt Wi-fi designed for set up purposes only. Disabling IP Passthrough will allow a specific IP range to be used on the internal LAN.Tested a few 4G units prior to purchase and this gave the best results once set up. The uni-directional inbuilt antenna is very sensitive, though a free proprietary phone app is available for locating the best signal. Important to take a back up of the config once completed, as mine recently reverted to factory without warning.This particular unit was purchased for failover/redundancy as now at £149 - half the original price paid 2 yrs ago. so have a spare on the shelf.Would highly recommend.

The best 4G directional antennas on the market. This can be used as a passthrough with an indoor router behind it or you can leave it in router mode and connect it straight into a layer 2 network (e.g. switch/ WiFi AP etc.)

Since changing from a Huawei 618 to this aerial mouted router, I have seen speeds get better and have had no drop outs at all (apart from when the cell went down!).The admin menu is much better and there is far more diagnostic info available to help you when setting things up

States comes withoit a psu. In my case came with one with EU plug. Quick change of plug and off we went.

Once set up provides reliable, fast broadband on 4g, much faster than my rural land line which is 1mbps if I am lucky. Excellent support from zyxel during set up.
