4G LTE Router, NRadio Portable AC1200 Dual Band Unlocked 4G Modem Router with SIM Card Slot, 6 Build-in Antennas and WiFi Speed Up to 1200Mbps, Mobile Hotspot for Travel Camping & Security Camera

Works better than our Internet provider router. Keeps us online at hotels with super fast wifi

Installed a SIM card and power it up. The blue light is solid. Cannot connect to internet. The SIM card work fine on any cell phone. This is a junk product. Don’t waste Monday and time.

I received a free 5G SIM card for data from my wireless provider, but I hadn't thought of a use for it, especially since our mobile phones and tablets don't take SIM cards. I accidentally came across these wifi routers that run off SIM cards. I selected the NRadio C2000 modem router because it ran on 4G wireless networks and provided AC1200 wireless speeds. My SIM card can run on 5G networks, but the 5G modem routers are too expensive for my needs. Installing the SIM was simple and the NRadio C2000 connected immediately to the wireless network when I powered it up. The on-board user interface worked fine and wireless clients connect without problems. The NRadio C2000 modem router has been great while travelling and it avoids draining power from my mobile phone, which also connects to the C2000 as a client. The C2000 runs better than my old Verizon mobile hotspot. At 4.75 inches square, the C2000 fits in carry-on luggage and it is very light. It doesn't come with a travel case, but I think the Hermitshell Hard Travel Case for ELEPHAS Portable Projector Mini Projector will fit it fine. The C2000 includes a USB-C to AC power adapter, but it also runs well from a USB-C battery pack. A 5000 mA-h battery should run the C2000 for just under 3.5 hours.My only wish is that the C2000 allowed for a VPN/Wireguard server. Perhaps in a future firmware update?

When this product performs as intended, I would absolutely praise it for being easy to use and having a quick setup time. I did make a few observations during both my setup and use that I would want to share with others. Regrettably, one of those observations may require swapping the device for a replacement if one is unfortunate enough to experience it.SETUP: Let me address the one issue I mentioned earlier that necessitated getting the product replaced: The first product I received was defunct because the SIM card tray—where you insert your nano SIM card—lacked a small hole into which you could insert the SIM tray ejector tool in order to remove the tray. Fortunately, because Amazon shipped the item, they were able to quickly replace it. Having said that, the replacement did come with a SIM ejector tray that had a small hole on it for removing the tray.I used a certain U.S.-based Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO") that begins with a lowercase "t" that provides a data-only service that advertises hotspot capability with its data plans.IMPORTANT NOTE: When you can get your device connected to the Internet, you'll probably need to do a firmware update. It is always wise to update the firmware, and there appears to have been a significant reorganization of the management interface for both smartphone users and desktop/laptop users. Also keep in mind that the user interface on a smartphone's web browser does not have the capability to perform a firmware upgrade, therefore you can only do so from a desktop or laptop computer. Finally, keep in mind that you're probably performing this firmware upgrade via a mobile data network, so it might take a little while, but I assure you it will probably be worth the wait.PERFORMANCE: It performs most likely identically to a smartphone using a mobile data network with 4G LTE technology. Unfortunately, this device didn't succeed in its goal of helping me reduce the mobile data network congestion that was present at a major event. The throughput of the connections on this device was certainly given less priority by the mobile data network I utilized than it did by the smartphone equivalent. Running the uploading test during a speed test in some areas may completely cut off the device's connection to the Internet or the tower it was previously attached to until the speed test is finished or terminated (although it rarely happens in most other areas.)IMPORTANT NOTE: This device will not be an exception if the mobile data network claims that you have unlimited data through slower speeds after using up your high-speed data allowance and the fine print states that hotspot/tethering is not permitted with the slower speeds.REMARKS: I advise you to look into IoT Data-Only SIM Cards because they are designed exclusively for gadgets like these that don't make or receive phone calls or text messages. Additionally, it lowers costs and might even boost mobile data network speed.

I had no clue about the product settings, so when I inserted my card and couldn't connect to the network, I mailed nradio technical support team. I told them that the 4g lte router not working after inserting sim card, and after about 3 hours, I received a response. They asked me to provide device logs, following their provided steps to export the logs, I sent them over. The tech support team then informed me that I needed to set up the APN. After connecting to nradio's wifi, I accessed the login IP, opened the Cellular Setting page, enabled APN, and configured the T-Mobile information( I got the T-Mobile APN information from google), entered it, and after submission, I discovered that the network was working fine. I felt a sense of accomplishment after completing the process, and the internet speed is good enough to meet my needs for working.

Seems like an OK product but if its not perfect, it's not for me! I bought this to be able to use it in my car with my T-mobile data plan. I tested it at home and it dropped the signal twice in a matter of 10 minutes. I just decided to return it and rather buy a Dash cam with sim card wifi/hotspot capabilities and use that as my internet signal in the car, which is what I do in my other car and has been working fine for over a year. I should've known better!NOTE: The power connector that I received with the unit was part of the wall plug connector, not like a regular usb cable that I could've used in the car. And this is not what the instructions show or the pictures of some people's reviews. The power supply should be a power cable and a little cube with am USB inlet. I don't know why the one I received wasn't like that, so that would've been an issue as well to be able to use it in my car since I don't have any usb C cables on one end and a regular usb connector on the other end.
