    A very good 4G/5G router

    A very good 4G/5G router, it seems. Not yet fully tested, but the WiFi is very stable, it supports both 4G and 5G, and speeds are good, as expected and stable. The pings are a little better than those observed with a smartphone. It also has 4 ethernet ports for LANs in addition to WiFi. The administration interface is pretty well done. It even includes an energy consumption tracker and the ability to receive and read SMS messages (not tested).
    Be careful not to forget to enter the SIM card PIN code via the administration interface, or you'll be in for a fright the first time you use it...
    And don't forget that it only accepts 4FF "nano SIM" cards (which are more than ten years old, after all).
