Great router for using with a sim card. Very easy to setup as long as you have an open sim card, and can handle a lot of download / upload, very fast signal response times. There are many options for antennas and mounting options, only drawback is that it has a wall-wart that you will need to have plugged in for it to operate.

I’ve been using the Cudy 5G WiFi Router with my T-Mobile SIM card, and it has been an excellent performer. Setup was a breeze — popped in my SIM, and within minutes, I had high-speed internet running without needing to mess with APN settings. The router detected T-Mobile’s network automatically and delivered strong 5G and LTE speeds.What impressed me most is the stability of the connection. Even during peak hours, I’ve consistently seen fast download and upload speeds with minimal drops. The WiFi range covers my entire home (about 2,000 sq ft), and the dual-band functionality allows me to split heavy and light devices between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.Another huge plus is the router’s ability to support multiple users. I regularly have several devices streaming, gaming, and working remotely at the same time, and this router handles the load without a hiccup. Build quality feels premium, and the interface is user-friendly, with plenty of customization options like port forwarding and VPN support.If you’re looking for a plug-and-play 5G solution with T-Mobile or any other GSM provider, this is a reliable and cost-effective choice. I’d recommend it to anyone needing a dependable alternative to traditional wired internet.

Box absolutely crushed upon receiving it just now!Setup the device, updated the firmware, that part was straightforward.Problem with this is that it only has a partial pre-defined configuration for almost all settings including.Cellular modem, can't fully configure the APN settings, not even with AT commands.VPN wants config files but does not allow you to edit, modify or view them in anyway once on the device - VPN is useless on these devices. Confirmed through my network grabbed all packets and trace files, the VPN that they should be using doesn't appear to do anything on these.Also the firewall, has 3 settings 2 of which are enabled and 1 is disabled by default it recommends you don't touch them. That's dumb, there are other locations on the router to manage some of these settings, however some work some don't. Lots of advertisements for these here and there an a few youtube reviews that make it look like a good purchase. I don't know if they are all getting some sort of commission on these things or not but this router is garbage.

This is my 3rd Cudy cellular router (Two 4G and 1 5g) very happy with their capability and performance. I did have to add an external antenna. The cell tower is about 4 miles from my house and the router is indoors. The antennas that came with the router were not sufficient. I added an external directional antenna (also inside the house) and everything works well.

The web browser is accessed by 192.168.10.1, enter the password on the label.Need an activated SIM card and IMEI from a donor device that supports 5G and 4G to use those bands, or use the default IMEI. Need to know the carrier APN (access point name) for the plan purchased, leaving it to auto didn't work for me, as expected. I left most settings at default. I changed TTL. I selected each band the carrier is reported to use for signal strength, left weak or unused bands unchecked. The IMEI is set with an AT Commands: AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI" substitute IMEI in the quotes with the 15 digit number. You should be able to use the built-in IMEI with an appropriate carrier Cellular Router plan, the preferred use I would think over trying to use a phone plan and IMEI.The bands are in the General-APN section, click on the Band switch and the signal strength is shown from Home-5G status box, select more info. I set the APN by selecting Manual for slot 1 where I put the SIM. I left the other settings as they appeared, other than entering the APN (case sensitive I believe).

Awesome router with many features, is ideal for what we needed in rural America.

i'm giving it 5 for now......but the rubber doesn't hit the road till May when I will connect to an AIS cell network in Thailand....that being said, unboxed it today for wan/lan and wifi testing......the device is cellular centric, I had to disable cell and enable "wan/lan switch" at two different locations on the web interface. Graphically easy enough to find though. And the transition went smoothly. If i run into trouble when I implement cellular on this unit in Thailand, well as Arnold would say "I'll be back" if no probs...I'll just settle off into the sunset

This 5G router works perfectly! Super fast speeds, strong connection, and the setup was really simple.
