I have never dealt with 4G "broadband" as a home solution before but its probably the best option for my home for a few months why we sort out a fiberoptik connection to the property. Lots of Digging and an unknown lead time.

i can get an unlimited simcard easy enough, cheap enough but it doesn't include a router.

The easy option seems to be a Huawei B535 4G LTE WiFi router.

I assume i can just bridge this to my other TPlink one and job done.....?
Easy to do no huge PITA?

Cheers.


Anslutning
1 Wan / Lan GE-port, 3 Lan GE-port , ett SIM-kortsfack (mikro-SIM)

swedish but understandable.... yes?
 
Assuming you disable DHCP on your TP-Link and make sure the address doesn't conflict then I don't see why not.

Is there a reason you're not using the Huawei B535 on its own or with a switch?
 
No i just thought it might not be as good a signal as the other router and wanted a back up plan. Its quite a big area to cover, even as a temporary solution i still want it to be as good as possible
I got a switch under the TV for all the junk there.
 
If the spec sheet is accurate you need to run ROS 7 with the Chateau, which is currently a fairly buggy beta release.
 
It’s a Router OS subset written specifically for the Chateau. And it depends what you need to be not buggy. As I understand it they developed Chateau for a deal with Latvian Telecoms as that company’s ISP router. And it’s going well with very few issues reported. What’s your experience with Router OS7? Which bits have been buggy for you?

I ran beta5 on a mAP and it broke the wireless bit of it, had to netboot it back to v6 because it also stopped responding on the ethernet port.
 
As I said, they’re calling it Router OS7 but it was written specifically for the Chateau LTE 12. And it seems stable enough to me. I’ve had one for about 3 weeks now and it’s solid. In Media City in Salford I can pull down 370-400Mbps on Vodafone And EE and it’s never dropped under 100Mpbs anywhere I’ve tested it. The Wireless LAN is the weakest bit because Mikrotik insist on writing their own drivers but that’s more an issue on the 4x4 AC units and the Chateau is perfectly stable.
 
Thanks for your input.

the Teltonika rut240 seems to have a max sync speed of 150mbit to 4g/LTE is that right?
The Huawei B535 seems to max at 300mbit

also the price difference in Sweden is a about 500Kr more expensive for the Teltonika.

I live right in town about 300m from a 4g mast.
 
Whether it runs at 150 or 300Mbps depends on whether or not your service provider allows carrier integration. If they don’t then both will run at 150Mbps maximum. And I’d rather have 150Mbps from a solid signal on the Teltonika than half that from the Huawei.
 
ok last silly question and then ill at least know a bit more :p

if it only has a 100Mbps wan port then if i wire it pass through to my router then thats only gonna theoretically max at 100Mbps anyway...

WAN 1 x WAN port (can be configured to LAN) 10/100 Mbps, comply IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u standards, supports auto MDI/MDIX
 
Yes, but carrier aggregation isn't just about going beyond 150Mbps - it could get you 80Mbps when a Cat4 modem was only getting 40Mbps, for example.

My go-to Teltonika device is the RUTX11 but it's quite a bit more expensive than the RUT240. The MikroTik wAP ac LTE6 is a good product as well, but with a steeper learning curve than the Teltonika.
 
Hi @Efour I have been looking at the Mikrotik Chateau12 also and wondered if you could help me with some questions about it please?

I am comparing it to a Huawei B535. I really want the ability to be able to easily set the frequency bands that it uses for 4g i.e set to band 3 instead of it auto selecting band 20 for example. I also would like the ability to set the carrier aggregation that it does i.e band 3 + band 20 for example.

I wondered if you knew if this was possible? Ideally I would like to be able to do this easily if possible as I am not an expert user, so wondered if you knew if this could be done via the mikrotik mobile app?

Thanks in advance!

Hard No.
 
Yes, you can select any available channels individually, so on the Chateau you can choose from 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40 and 41 depending on which ones you have available. As far as I’m aware you can’t pick which ones it actually uses for aggregation, just the ones it can use.

And I don’t know on the App because I’ve not used it in quite some time. It’s not a big issue. You can now just go straight into the device itself by its IP address without using Webfig.
