Device without SIM card support
You seem to have a 4G/5G connection now. What are your goals? If you rely on the cellular network for internet, you won't be able to use a router without that feature. However, based on your current router, you might be able to add another bridged router or switch depending on what you're aiming to accomplish.
The issue is that without a nearby cable, you're using a SIM card. Linking the routers together might affect their speeds, especially if your ISP routers are limiting bandwidth. Your existing routers are at 300 Mbps, and the new one claims 600 Mbps—this could impact performance if the ISP caps traffic.
Are you connected via Wi-Fi? If the connection is slow close to the router, it's likely due to weak signal coverage in your area, which isn't always improved by ISP equipment that often struggles with range. If you just need broader coverage, consider using a bridge or connecting your devices through the ISP router for the main connection while using another router for peripheral devices. Your internet speed will depend on what your ISP router can actually support.
Are you looking to boost your internet or PC performance for better WiFi communication? If you're achieving close to 300Mbit over 4G, you're doing well. I haven't seen 4G surpassing 100Mbit; it typically splits the connection among all users at the tower.
It’s unlikely you’re receiving 300 Mbps on your 4G connection. Verify if the modem supports 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps ports. If it has 100 Mbps ports, that could be limiting your speed even with a faster connection. A 1000 Mbps router or switch would still function well and support a high-speed LAN, offering benefits without cost differences. Ultimately, your goal determines the right approach.
