4G access point supporting up to 100 connections simultaneously – ideal for mobile hotspot usage.
Hi there! I’m looking for some guidance on finding a suitable router. It should be portable, set up quickly, work with SIM cards (focusing on 4G LTE since 5G isn’t available soon), support up to 100 devices, and let you restrict traffic to certain websites. We’re not planning to provide a fixed-line connection because that wouldn’t be practical right now. The budget is around 300-350$, though I think fewer devices would work better. If handling so many connections on one device feels too much, access points could be an alternative—but we’d need compatibility. I’m sure bandwidth will handle it for this number of users, but after talking with clients, a mobile hotspot seems like the most sensible choice for our needs. Let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks, Thomas.
I believe exploring MOFI routers could be the most effective option. While searching, I discovered a U.S.-based hotspot provider offering them to customers. For Poland, the cost would be around 250/month. You might also consider Polish companies that provide competitive rates, though it may still be expensive. Even for limited site access, data problems can arise based on client usage. You could reach out to mobile hotspot services and negotiate a plan tailored to your needs without incurring long-term expenses.
You can achieve this using a Mikrotik LTAP Mini (though I can't ensure 100 wireless users—pairing it with a real AP might be better if needed). The main challenge with Mikrotik is its steep learning curve, but once mastered, it offers powerful features at a lower cost and can adapt to various tasks. Edit: the Mikrotik wAP LTE would work similarly, while the LTAP Mini’s advantage is its built-in GPS.
