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

This device was acquired as an upgrade from a 4G MiFi device. The previous MiFi unit struggled to manage the increased network load and frequent recharging requirements during peak usage periods, such as holidays, when more users and devices were connected. The Cudy router has performed exceptionally well in this regard. As I operate strictly within a data plan, meticulous monitoring is essential. The accompanying application proved to be highly beneficial and user-friendly, offering robust control over network connections. Features such as parental controls, data limits, and various other options have significantly aided in managing usage. I have also implemented data-saving modes for applications like YouTube and disabled background data to optimize consumption. During the initial setup, I encountered some challenges. However, after consulting a YouTube resource, a user suggested pressing the WPS button on the device's rear, which resolved the issue. I successfully replicated this solution, and it effectively established the connection. Therefore, if you experience connectivity problems, I recommend attempting this method. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this purchase and endorse its capabilities.

Very easy to setup and works very well using a SIM card from visible wireless for wifi. Great range as well, maybe 150ft

This is hands down, one of the most easy to use routers, that I have ever seen. You simply pop in your sim card, connect to the network, it pops up the web page, and you select the options you want, done. I love that it has preconfigured APN's to choose from, without having to hunt down that option in menus, and fight against programming one in, like my CPE-0001 cellular router. The menu layout, options, telemetrics, are all extremely well laid out, easy to understand, easy to edit, change. I went from a CPE-0001 LTE router to an AT&T Unite Explore/Netgear AC hotspot, to this router, and immediately I was getting much better speeds, more consistent connections and traffic, and had zero issues connecting range extenders, devices. I ended up not even needing the range extenders, as this one has roughly double to triple the output range as my previous routers. If you are stuck in a rural area with no real options for broadband Internet, this is the router you need. Buy an unlimited cellular data plan SIM, pop it in this router, and voila, you have Internet, that beats the snot out of Hughes net and viasat, for way cheaper and way more useable data. If you can get the 5g version, and have towers remotely near you, you'll get near broadband speeds, but face the usual data caps with throttling after around 500-800gb. If you do go that route these Cudy routers just can't be beat IMO for the price and ease of use.

were having constant comcast issues, so got this as a failover back up, as my wife and I work from home, not using as a regular connection for the whole house but mainly for work computers. as this is a back up, and $90 it was a good deal. We have this connected so the lan switch on the cudy is enabled, and the cudy is connected to our modem via Ethernet cable. when the main Internet fails it switches over to the google fi sim card. THE SETUP Im using a Google fi data sim, that they will send you for free. set up was easy, and i just activated the sim card and stuck it in, worked right away, no hassle. interface and settings are well layed out(but have no clue on what they all do). have some issues accessing the advanced features at times, a bit clunky. instructions on how to turning on the lan switch are on the cudy website. THE NOT SO GOOD, but not deal breakers. as this is a back up, we dont need much speed, but if you are using this for the whole house or as the main Internet, be aware. 1. when cudy is connected to our main router(wired connection), we get a little less than 1/3 the main router speed, i. e main is 250mps, on cudy is about 80 mps, when using a wired connection to the cudy 2. 5g speed (wired connection to the cudy from main router) between main and cudy, also about less than 1/3, i e 250 mps on 5g on main router, about 80 mps on cudy 3. (on sim card) , about 30-40 mps either wired to cudy or on the 5g, not sure if this is because of the fi sim, or that it is only a 4g device SUMMARY This is fine for what we need, but may not be great if you are using it as the main connection, a 5g device may be better

Routeur facile à paramétrer RAS!

Modem acquistato per lancasa in campagna, dove la rete si prende con molta difficoltà e la saponetta classica non offre né stabilità di connessione né autonomia sufficiente per non essere sempre collegata alla rete. Devo dire che funziona molto bene, la connessione è stabile ed anche la ricezione del 4g grazie alle antenne è buona. Inserita una sim ho. mobile senza necessità fi configurazione, una volta attaccata la spina in circa 30 secondi era già perfettamente funzionante senza modificare od impostare apn. Considerate sempre che se non c'è campo non può fare miracoli e connettersi ad una rete che non c'è. Per quanto riguarda l'utilizzo come modem o router per linea fissa non posso dire nulla perché l'ho acquistato solo ed esclusivamente per la linea 4g. Avesse avuto anche il 5g sarebbe stato da 6 stelle. Ottima anche la gestione web molto semplice e ben suddivisa in varie sezioni facilmente accessibili e visivamente ordinate.

Tolles Gerät für einen Top Preis. Anleitung auf YouTube um einen VPN Client für den Router und damit für alle Geräte am Router im Netz. Leichtes Setup, funktioniert TOP! 👍🏼👏🏼

Very good. Easy setup. Working perfectly. Good range.

Be wary. Unless you get a really good reception inside your home, it might be worth looking at other options. edit: This routes has been absolutely useless for me and has basically been usable.
