I have been asked to source some 4G routers for work and being the IT guy, I'm expected to have all the answers. So Im spending 12AM researching stuff for work :(

I have the Huawei e5172 in my sights, is that the best buy around the £150 price mark?

Also there is an inexpensive add on antannae which is cited to increase the gain. What is gain in this instance? Does it improve the strength of the connection between the router and 4G service, or is it for wifi connectivity with devices or both?

Help very much appreciated - you'll make me look like a hero at work again!
