Review on πŸ“Ά Yeacomm Outdoor 4G CPE Router with SIM Card Slot, AT&T Compatible, 150Mbps CAT4, POE Adapter, No WiFi, Not for Verizon by Marc Cahoon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressive for routers

For an outdoor LTE modem/router with POE support, that's fantastic. Pulled the SIM card out of an AT&T smartphone and it worked straight away, no customer service calls, no IMEI changes. I needed to get it working over long distances of more than 100m, so I tried to use a modern 30W long range POE injector and a center line POE booster which you can use for a long term IP camera would use. Unfortunately this little guy runs on 15V POE and not the standard 40-55V at/af range so the POE extension won't work. That being said it would have been a full 5 star home run if it was at 48v but I knew the POE voltage was built into the design so I can't blame them too much. The 15V broke the 100m barrier and powered the device, but I'm not sure it will go as far as I really want to get this thing to the top of the hill that mine is disturbing line of sight. 500 feet of outdoor Category 6 might be asking too much with a standard 15V PoE injector. There is an alternative to the KuWfi box that runs on 48V POE and as such can be extended up to 1000ft with multiple Cudy boosters and a high quality Cudy injector in the base. The user interface is good. Very customizable.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No auto mode
