    The router is unstable. When it drops out and loses the signal (about 3-4 times a week), it always requires a manual restart, because it does not try to reconnect automatically. The biggest problem, however, is that it does not support Band Aggregation (4G+), which keeps the speed at very low levels.

  • The design of the menus for customization/management through the browser did not satisfy me. However, the most serious problem I found is that if, due to weak signal, it drops from 4G to 3G, it does not try to restore 4G. There is a setting to connect only with 4G but I had difficulty operating it with this setting.

  • Purchased for over €110 about a year and a half ago, and after a year it started to malfunction until it completely stopped responding. During the time it was functional, I used it in different areas of central and western Macedonia and saw speeds of up to 80mbs in download. It is known that speeds depend on network availability and the signal that each company has, so I appreciate that they were good compared to other routers of similar category and technology. It definitely stands out that it has a built-in VoIP terminal so you can have a phone through a subscription with the corresponding company.

    For the money I bought it for (60€) and for the use I want it for (30-40 days a year in the village), it is very honest! I have put a Vodafone card in it and I have connected a smart TV with eon for football and 2 mobile phones on it!

    Excellent router for the price. I couldn't find many details, but now that I have it, I will mention a few things in case it helps someone. First, it is CAT6 4G+, so theoretically 300mbps. In my area, with full signal, I have reached 80Mbps, but usually it gets about 50-60. I have also tried a much more expensive D-Link CAT6 with almost the same speed. The package includes two removable antennas. The LAN ports have gigabit speed. The phone ports are actually VOIP, and I have successfully added my Modulus VOIP number. The software is simple with limited features (don't expect Fritzbox-type settings). The SIM slot accepts a full-size SIM card, so be aware that if you have a smaller SIM, you will need an adapter. The front LEDs are blue and not annoyingly bright. I think for the price of around 70 euros, this is definitely the best available router. Most 4G+ routers are at least 100 euros and do not have VOIP support.

    While it operates normally for 12 hours, it turns off by itself and you have to open and close it to reconnect. Maybe mine is defective.

    One of the best and most reliable 4G LTE CPEs in the Greek market. I have it in my village with prepaid Cosmote, so whenever I go there, I am extremely happy.

    Very good but it would be better if it was cheaper. It supports 2.4 and 5 GHz.
