Hi everyone,<br class="">
Does anyone use 4G modems? I'd like to get one for the Telstra network<br class="">
(Boost actually), but I don't know how many are available or how to compare<br class="">
them. I've come across this one on clearance sale and wonder if it's any<br class="">
good:<br class="">

<br class="">
Any thoughts? Better options?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">

Hello Gregory,<br class="">
<br class="">
They seem to be for a niche market like remote branch office that requires<br class="">
backup internet and/or SDWAN.<br class="">
<br class="">
Problem is, consumer grade products tend to either poorly implement or<br class="">
restrict SDWAN capability.<br class="">
<br class="">
There are other ways to get backup cellular/mobile broadband internet by<br class="">
using a phone with USB or wireless tethering. Some of which may involve<br class="">
some DIY.<br class="">
<br class="">
