MikroTik SXT LTE6 kit CAT6 LTE Modem for Remote Areas Within Cellular Network Coverage

worked with the at&t sim card

The LTE6 is compatible with LTE bands: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 25, 26, 38, 39, 40, 41. In the U.S. AT&T uses bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 14, 17 and 30, with bands 2 and 4 being used the most for data. In the U.S. T-Mobile uses bands 2, 4, 12, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71, with bands 2 and 4 being used the most for data. In the U.S. Verizon uses bands 2, 4, 5, 13, 66. Use Cellmapper.net to determine which bands are being used in your area. The LTE6 will allow you to lock on to an LTE band where the SXT LTE won't. This is very useful so you stay locked on to the band that has the best speed. In my area, this is band 2 for AT&T and T-Mobile. I have hundreds of these deployed at customer's homes and they work great once you program them. Set the TTL to 64 and MTU to: 1430 (AT&T), 1420 (T-Mobile), 1428 (Verizon).

Adquirí este kit router-módem LTE para utilizarlo en Costa Rica luego de evaluar varias opciones disponibles en AMAZON. Los factores claves para elegir este producto fueron: su diseño para instalarse fuera del edificio, su capacidad de funcionar alimentado por PoE, la flexibilidad de sistema operativo RouterOS, y que dispone de un módem LTE adaptado para trabajar en distintas zonas del mundo, no sólo en Norteamérica. El router se está utilizando para conectar con infraestructura LTE de un proveedor de servicios a una distancia de alrededor de 7.5 km con parámetros de señal satisfactorios para alcanzar velocidades de carga/descarga de 70/30 Mbps en modalidad LTE, sin agregación de portadora. El terminal dispone de 2 ranuras para mini SIM ubicadas en una posición horrible para su manipulación, ojalá el fabricante revise este detalle en el futuro. Una configuración satisfactoria y resiliente para el funcionamiento de este router requiere bastantes conocimientos en distintos aspectos del sistema operativo RouterOS de Mikrotik. La documentación en línea del producto podría ser mejor.

The quality of the mikrotik is without any doubt one of the bestt in the market if you are mikrotik certified installer To some tevkkies this router setup is a snap I needed a 4g router i thought Mikrotik was best option Was not Unfortunately for many they can get by with any router available in the market But mikrotik router require certification and 3 or 4 days of technical internet protocol shop For many not within knowledge Neither am i I have this router now 5 days..with all you tube videos ..none was able to show me how to quick setup this LTE router I went and buy another brand..i could not return the mikrotik router .there was nothing wrong with it just a nightmare to setup The new 4G LTE router was not complicated to setup nothing to it i was up and running in 5 minutes Mikrotik have good product i am most certain of it But configuration is simply a nightmare for many I am not new to mikrotik i have used them before.. Why would a manufature and great company with great product throw their client under the bus for choosing mikrotik beat the heck out of me

I’m OK at learning as I go on technology beyond the consumer level. I don’t program or use terminal on my MAC, but can push through most things with a GUI. I need an outdoor router to reach decent cell signal. This modem should be perfect. But, it has to be connected to get that firmware update, you need to download WinBox, and know the APN of your carrier. I found the APN search, supposedly the key to connecting, very difficult and those recommended didn’t work. I found that knowing what fields, in which screen to tweak the APN obtuse. Helpful forum. Good luck.

Not for outdoor use. Case has holes in it. Water damage caused it to fail after the first use in rain. Otherwise would have been a great product.

as title states this is the international version and is worthless in the US

Pendiente de instalar en el mástil, en las pruebas desde la ventana he notado mucha mejoría en la estabilidad de la señal y velocidad de conexión. Ahora consigo 15mbps y apenas he tenido que resetear el router (liberar y restablecer conexión) 2 veces en 1 mes que lo tengo, mientras que con el anterior mikrotik WAP lte kit no superaba 5 Mbps, la señal era muy inestable y cada poco (horas) había que resetear la conexión. Muy contento con la compra

So far, I've been pretty impressed. I have a collection of masts in line of sight around 1mi away, so I mounted this at a corner of my roof aimed at the tower. I powered it via a small PoE switch that I bought, and installed an EE SIM in it. Unlike a lot of folks here, the SIM worked right away with no issues. I tried a variety of broadband speed checkers and I think the minimum download speed I got was around 45 Mb/s, and a few times it was as high as 95 Mb/s. Uploads topped out around 45 Mb/s, but more normally in the high 20s to mid 30s. I have yet to integrate it into my existing network to replace the copper to the house, and I think that this may be where some of the complaints regarding the interface may come into play. The quick interface is fine, but I have to disable some services like DHCP as I don't want this device being in charge of those functions. Some small annoyances: The access door is a pretty tight fit bigger hands. The slot for the cable is geared toward their PoE injector, which is kind of a weird cable since you don't really want it near the router (how to weather proof?), but perhaps it would have worked if it was placed near the switch/PC end of things. But I ran an outdoor CAT6 cable into it and not only is the cable notch a bit tight but it was really tough to get the right angle to plug the cable into the first Ethernet socket (this is the PoE in socket). I see absolutely no way to make use of the second PoE out socket without either using a much narrower cable or else leaving the access door off. The band clamp is really more meant to be used on a pole that's 2 or 3 inches in diameter it seems to me, but I'm a bit worried about the J-bar pole that I used on my house as they are a good bit narrower. The clamp holds it pretty well, and it's quite tight, but I'm worried that the router might be spun a bit in some of the big winds that we get here in the winter. It would have been nice to include a rubber strip that could be applied between the band clamp and mounting post to keep such things from happening. I didn't have one when I installed it, and I'm concerned that I'll need to get back up there if the wind has its way. But I'm sure the position is a big reason why I'm getting the kind of speeds I'm seeing. I was worried about some of the issues that other reviewers raised, but I guess I got pretty lucky in that it seems to be running quite well without a lot of fuss. Next, we'll see if there are any issues with connections lost/remade. But right now it's working a treat.

Der SXT LTE6 wird bei uns als Backup Internetverbindung verwendet, da das DSL bei Starkregen regelmässig ausfällt. Der LTE Empfang ist bei uns im Allgemeinen nicht so toll - nur im Speicher ganz oben unterm Dach gibt es LTE4. Im Garten, auf Strassenniveau oder gar im Haus ist die Mobilfunkverbindung in der Regel schlecht. Mit dem SXT bekomme in an der selben Stelle (unterm Dach auf dem Speicher) fast 90 MBit/s im Download, obwohl das Gerät hinter der Giebelwand im Innenraum montiert ist. Dieser Wert ist sehr stabil. Ich meine, das SXT LTE6 ist ein prima Gerät. Einen Ausfall hatte ich noch nie, solange es Strom hatte. Da ich die Onlinezeit von DSL und LTE überwache, kann ich sagen, dass das SXT unser Internet jedesmal, wenn das DSL weg war, aufrecht erhalten hat. Falls ich jemals wieder ein Backup oder Internet über LTE benötige, werde ich gewiss das SXT LTE6 erneut dafür kaufen.

Très bon produit qui fonctionne à merveille. Comparé à la réception sans antenne (test depuis un smartphone) les débits sont 3 à 4x supérieurs. Je suis passé de 7 Mbps à 20 Mbps, puis 40 Mbps en essayant un autre opérateur ! L'interface d'admin est complètement folle avec des réglages dans tous les sens. Sans doute pas simple pour un néophyte mais un vrai bonheur pour les geeks. Seuls regrets: 1.l'antenne n'est pas livrée avec un pied orientable, il faut le commander séparémment et 2.le port ethernet est à 100 Mbps...

Acquistato per migliorare la situazione rispetto al Mikrotik Wap LTE (un apparato senza particolari soluzioni di antenna, paragonabile a un telefonino, nello stanzino in cui l’ho collocato mi dava un collegamento con segnale non ottimale). Intenistà di segnale ora eccellente, RSSI e RSRQ eccellenti senza neanche spostarlo sul tetto. Dopo il setup iniziale indoor (un po' di giorni per prenderci confidenza) l'ho spostato sul tetto di casa in posizione definitiva e i valori sono (come prevedibile) ulteriormente migliorati. Uso rete WindTre, il contratto è di quelli senza limiti di traffico. Aggrega 2 bande. Ho disabilitato la banda 20 (800 MHz) perché anche le altre arrivano bene e mi danno migliori performance, in questo modo aggrega la banda 3 e la 7, entrambe a 20 MHz, dandomi quando va male 30 Mbps simmetrici (indoor con BTS lontana), mentre posizionandola a palo sul tetto ottengo di norma 80/45. In condizioni ottimali saturo la ethernet in download. Ping notevolmente migliorato, verso 1.1.1.1 si attesta sui 30 ms medi (a volte 20ms, dipende dalla torre, quando capisco qual è la migliore magari lo forzo su quella), se installato indoor si sposta verso i 45-50 ms, comunque decisamente molto meglio di prima che nei momenti migliori arrivava a 60ms. Mai nessun problema con lo streaming video. Ho anche una VPN aziendale attiva, con dei backup giornalieri che finiscono sempre in tempi decenti. Consigliatissimo, direi come tutti i prodotti Mikrotik. E' vero che la ethernet non è gigabit ma per me arrivare alla soglia dei 100 mbps va più che bene... vedere screenshot della velocità reale raggiunta durante lo scaricamento di file di grosse dimensioni da un sito reale (invece dei soliti speedtest che lasciano il tempo che trovano)... con la FTTC dell'ufficio non arrivo a tanto. Se volete il gigabit (ben sfruttato) con Mikrotik ci sono altri prodotti (ad es. LHG LTE18). Alcune delle recensioni negative che leggo secondo me derivano dalla poca dimestichezza con RouterOS. Ricordatevi di tenere aggiornato il firmware del modem (non solo routerOS). Attualmente nel mio apparato c'è la versione R11e-LTE6_V034.
