Review on πŸ“Ά MikroTik LtAP mini LTE Kit - US by Melvin Balamani

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lack of tech support on the MikroTik forums, not enough bands for my region with T-Mobile

I'll try to get rid of this if I replace it with an old Alcatel HH41 at the expense of PLUS: a cheaper one Option as some cellular routers RouterOS is updated often, works great when the bands work with a nearby cell tower. CONS: Lack of technical support from the MicroTik or MicroTik Forum support community. Higher technical skills may be required to set up and maintain 4G BANDST-Mobile 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, 71 MikroTik LtAP mini LTE Kit. US2, 4, 5, 12 Alcatel HH-411, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 28, 66 I thought checking cell coverage on T-Mobile.com would mean that all bands are transmitted in the coverage area. That's not the case. Only 12 and 66 are on my nearest cell tower, with Mikrotik using an additional cell tower on Band 4. My Alcatel covers both. In the near future I need to check the signal quality and speed. Use https://www.cellmapper.net to identify some cell towers nearby and the bands they use. Try to buy a cellular router with some or all 4G bands. My Alcatel HH41 works on bands 12 and 66, which is the nearest cell tower. I decided to sell it and get Alcatel HH41.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
