Hello, you're weighing two options for a 4G LTE router: a DECO X20-4 G priced at £140 and an Archer MR600 v2 at £120. Since you plan to use it mainly for 4G connectivity, the external antenna connection is essential. Given your modest home size and limited Wi-Fi devices (mostly 5G or lower), the DECO might be excessive. However, since the price difference isn't huge, you're questioning whether the newer tech offers real advantages like reduced latency. Let me know if you'd like more details!

When checking 4G routers, focus on whether they cover all your mobile network channels and if they support Carrier Aggregation. The higher the CAT rating, the quicker the speeds can be. It’s tricky to know exactly which CAT your local provider uses. Signal strength matters too—outdoor units usually perform better than indoor ones, even with extra antennas. If delays matter, sticking to the mobile network isn’t ideal; there will be days when performance drops significantly. It’s far less stable compared to a wired connection.
