I'm using a cheap 4G sim for a backup internet connection at home I have been using a Tenda 4G09 for a year, Bought second hand and realised it didn't do any kind of bridge / modem only mode, only a DMZ but kept using it. Recently I looked for another and found reviews showing the ZTE MF286D doe actually supports Bridge mode / modem only passthrough After getting it, yeah it does "Kind Of" It disables all routing & firewall on the router its self and passes everything through to 1 device on the lan side However it actually creates a 10.x.x.x range and passes that through to the Lan - there's no way to change this in the settings So i'm looking for a 4G LTE modem / router that can actually pass through the WAN IP Is this even possible?

It's important to note that numerous mobile carriers employ Carrier Grade NAT. If your aim is to obtain a public IP address, you might face challenges.

You're asking if the information matches what your carrier actually provides. As mentioned by @Donut417, mobile devices sometimes don't display genuine public addresses.

As previously mentioned, but if you possess a SIM providing a public IPv4 address, our organization has utilized Peplink, Cradlepoint, and Digi. These solutions are costly yet reliably effective. Digi offers the most affordable option.
