Hey everyone, I’m planning to relocate to a remote area where home internet speeds are only 5-9MBps. The local 4G connection offers around 100MBps, so I was considering getting an add-in card for 4G and using a portable SIM in the computer. I’m not sure if such a setup is available or practical for a desktop. Have anyone encountered anything similar?

Choose a mobile hotspot and a strong Wi-Fi connection for your computer to achieve faster speeds.

I planned to add a 4G hotspot for other gadgets, but I kept my PC separate. Thanks for letting me know earlier.

Obtain a 4G router and link it via a network cable to your computer. Issue resolved?

Refer to my earlier note. I discovered many issues with 4G connections, so I decided to run the PC independently. This way, my girlfriend watching Stranger Things won’t affect performance.

Consider checking a PCIe to M.2 adapter and M.2 WWAN cards. Alternatively, you might want a hotspot from Calyx Institute for areas with Sprint coverage.

In laptops, 4G LTE cards are extremely uncommon. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen one on a desktop.
