Cudy 4G LTE Cat 4 AC1200 Wi-Fi Router, Detachable Antennas, LT500D

I live in an area with no landline internet (or phone) access. Mobile internet is available, but the signal quality is often poor to non-existent, and is usually slow. Weather is a major factor in signal quality, and the weather changes a *lot* where I live. I have an iPhone and an Android phone that I can use as hotspots, but, despite living in a small home, even the WiFi coverage is flaky. I’ve tried using cheap (but reputable brand) WiFi extenders but didn’t notice any improvement in coverage or performance. After a particularly frustrating set of weather, I got desperate enough to seek another solution to mobile phone hotspotting. I first checked if any terrestrial ISPs had brought civilisation to my neck of the woods, but no such luck. I even considered Starlink but the monthly price is a little out of my financial reach (only just, I’d have gone for it if it were 25% cheaper). So, I looked for an alternative and found the Cudy.. Setup was trivial. I transferred the SIM from my Android phone to the Cudy, screwed on the two interchangeable antennae, plugged the Cudy into its power supply, and was up and running within seconds. Brilliant. So far, I have experienced no dropouts or loss of signal, and I can pick up WiFi throughout my home without any connectivity problems. I only wish I’d bought Cudy sooner! (Yes, I’m so pleased with the improvement that I’ve named the router)

Excellent unit,works well and has plenty of adjustments and allows the use use of a VPN

If you live in an urban area I'm sure this will work great for you, I live rurally. It is simple to set up, comes with an app and is easy to use. Fully functioning, stable connection just a bit on the weak side when it comes to picking up signal. Still fine for streaming, just would never work for any gamers in weak signal areas.

Spot on. I bought gnis after having a TP-Link router that i needed support for. It was inder guarantee but not having internet access meant i needed a quick resolution. After 45 minutes on the phone to them only for them to tell me it needed a replacement unit and this will be sorted quickly. It took 2 days to get a reply asking me questions. 2 days later another email asking the same questions and still no replacement unit. I gave up after a week and bought this Cudy rounter. It was easy to set up and it works flawlessly. And it's seems faster. Better than the TP-Link one. I got another email from TP-Link 10 days later saying i couldn't have a replacement anyway.

I live off grid and was unable to get fibre broadband and the only alternative was copper, and saw this. Works well, easy to set up, using an unlimited data sim and streams video nicely. No doubt the speed depends on signal strength and I am fortunate to live close to a mast.

I would have given the router 5 stars but when I opened box which was fully sealed it only had a European 2 pin plug. This is not unusual but if so an adaptor is included. It was annoying as it was needed to replace my existing router which had failed. I didn't want to return it as needed the router for my static caravan which I was leaving and is used for security and heating etc. I had a lightbulb moment and checked the old router power supply which was 3 pin and luckily its spec was the same as the one with router. I could get router working and it works fine but gave it one star as it would have been useless if didn't have another supply. I contacted the supplier by email to explain and got acknowledgment. It's been over 5 days (3working) and nothing. So, beside issue with router customer service is not good.

Brought for a family member and they are delighted

I'd love to love this router but it's the fourth one Ive tried of this make yet speeds are on 15 to mbs 40Mbts for a short period of time. My phone (using the same position, same sim card, same area - ie exactly same scenario and sim) gets 150Mbts and that's only with 2 bars. I'd love to keep this but its just not performing to the standard its saying 😕

Perfecto, desde que lo he puesto no falla la cobertura y el Internet va bastante estable sin duda una buena compra . Lo volveré a comprar para otro sitio

Le setup est assez facile. Les 2 niveaux (débutant/expert) permet de le configurer comme on veut.

Très simple a configurer et fonctionne parfaitement.

Il router funziona benissimo, sim card e si collega perfettamente alla rete cellulare. Usato in una zona dove la copertura telefonica è appena sufficiente e non ci sono linee per internet fisso a casa nemmeno la vecchia ADSL. Il router prende e consente di navigare e anche vedere film e serie tv in streaming.

I got this router to use at a campground with my RV. The WiFi here is slow and unreliable so we needed a backup solution. I got this to go with a consumer cellphone SIM. We’re in an area with weak cell coverage so I also put up a yagi antenna with 9db gain. I pointed it at the nearest tower 2.4 miles away. With my iPhone alone I was only getting a RSRP in the mid to high 120’s - essentially a dead zone. With the yagi and this router my first try improved RSRP to 114-118. Then the magic happened. After disconnecting the router and then reconnecting it I got a 99 RSRP reading. It had switched from the B2 band to the B12 band. Fortunately this router allows you to manually select the bands to use. The B12 band is great for rural areas like mine as the longer wavelength passes through trees easily and the waves flow with hilly terrain better than 5g frequencies. So I have the router set to use bands B12, B14, and B2. This gets my RSRP to the upper 90’s and RSRQ to 10. It’s a nice, stable connection. Sure, the top speed won’t be as great with this setup but it’s way better than the nearly nothing we had before.
