Review on WE826-T2 4G LTE Router with Industrial Grade Metal Case, 300 Mbps Cat4 Wireless Wi-Fi Router, Removable External Antennas, SIM Card Slot, Unlocked USB Port, SMA Port - Not Compatible with Verizon by Bim Cook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The rating is not 300Mbps, it's 150Mbps

Bad: Not the 300Mbps threshold stated in this listing. This modem comes with the Quectel EC-25AF which is only rated for 150Mbps. If you want to reach 300Mbps you will need to buy and replace the Sierra Wireless MC7455. Both are Mini-PCIE, so no adapter is needed. Okay: Flashed GoldenOrb, this is a variant of the OpenWRT firmware. The default firmware is very limited, I wanted to be able to send AT commands to it and have more control over which tapes I want to connect to, set up DMZ passthrough, control etc.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
