Cudy AC1200 Dual Band Unlocked 4G LTE Modem Router with SIM Card Slot, 1200Mbps Mesh WiFi, 5dBi High Gain Antennas, DDNS, VPN, Cloudflare, LT500

Has worked solidly since installed. I bought to replace a cheap T-Mobile router. It was easy from the beginning, it connected to the T-Mobile network with out a problem once the sim card was put in. It solved the issue of having to reboot the old router about every week and a half. I haven't touched it since installed and signal improved, range also improved, speed is much better. This router is mainly used for my security cameras.

This works great, used the sim out of the iPad and put in the Cudy. Works like wifi and now we can stream shows and movies with the new smart tv. Beats paying outrageous wifi prices and it’s only did the spinny wheel buffing couple times during a bad storm. We live deep in a forest so service isn’t great here and still no problems. Excellent product easy to setup too.

This is my very first review of an Amazon Purchase. I never thought I would purchase a product that would convince me to share a review, but here we go;I have been using this router deep in the Central American forest; I have 13 acres of property I need to install internet since I am building a cabin there. I needed a way to bring reliable internet; the only way was using the local Telcom (Claro); another requirement was coverage and overall downstream speed.This router has surpassed all my expectations;- It works flawlessly; currently, we have 9 Wyze cameras connected, all via the 2.4 GHz, works like a charm- We have also added a ring system alarm for the motion sensor and additional water sensor; no delays, no lags all works- I added a local sim card that a plan that refills itself - I get 50GB of data for about $15/Month, enough GB to power all cameras, video recording to the cloud, etc. - I will increase the GB to 200GB when I open to guest- The router has a great range, even better if you pair this one with a repeater of the same bran - Currently, we have it installed outdoors with the inside of a plastic box - and even inside of this waterproof case, I see impressive coverage in my area - About aa 150 lineal meters of coverage without the repeater and triple the distance with one repeater - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HY2ZBCM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1- Cudy New AC1200 Mesh WiFi Extender 0--> ExtenderThis is the one if you are looking for a solid entry-level router to get the job done. Assuming you are on with 4G speeds which are okay if you happen to be in a remote place like I am. ON the other hand, the same manufacturer offers an advanced 5G router that is also great.

I bought the product because it is advertised to work in the Americas, WRONG. I spent nearly a month trouble shooting, till I concluded that I needed to return the product.The instructions of the device did not match what I was seeing on my computer, they were totally inadequate in Chile. It takes more than having the ability for the modem/router to work in Latin America to sell the product as working in all the Americas. You need to be able to configure it. I am an end user, not an internet specialist who can get into the weeds to set the correct parameters to the device, and in Latin America it is very difficult finding someone who knows how to do it. The product may be plug-and-play in the US, but definitely not in Chile, and probably not anywhere in Latin America.I changed my internet provider, because they did not help me configuring the product, but that did not solve the issues. If one looses a signal, which happens a lot in remote or rural areas, I was told by the second internet provider that I need to reset the device and the configurations went out the window. Since it took about twenty (not an exageration) to get to speak to someone who knew how to do it, I gave up. I wasn't going to go through that every time that I lost a signal, and the provider who set the right configurations did that from their office without telling me what they did. Someone told me that if they tell you how to configure the product, they might be fearful that you will know how to get the service without having to pay. I have no idea if this is correct, but it might be the reason why tech support of the internet provider do not know how to do it.Tech support at Cudy works only by email, no phone, and Monday through Friday on a different time zone, probably Asia, so at best my queries were answered the next day. That is very tough when you are without an internet connection and you are in a remote area where you need the internet to conduct all your personal business. One needs a product that is plug-and-play.When I researched the device I was told that the signal extender, which I did not need, came with it. I took it since "it comes with it" implies that it is free of charge; it was not. I had to pay not only the product that I did not need, but import fees for it too. I supposed to get free shipping, I paid US$23.44.If you are thinking of buying this product for use in Latin America from Latin America you will need to pay for Import fees; in Chile they were US$38.01. To return the product it cost me US$65.70. Amazon gets discounts which you as the end user will not get when you return the product. MercadoLibre which is the Latin American version of Amazon sends you labels with the shipping charge included. That is definitely something that Amazon needs to emulate, because they are going to have to return the shipping costs to me. That's also where you as a buyer probably need to go to buy a modem/router if you are going to use it in Latin America.The product itself is probably very good, but all these other issues are very significant factors which don't appear to have been addressed at Cudy, so that I do not recommend that you purchase the product unless you know exactly how to configure the modem/router yourself. If you are travelling through Latin America and you will be going through various countries, at least you got a warning from me which is more than I got.
