Router 4G/LTE
Router 4G/LTE
You've received an upgrade package from your ISP. Your current DSL connection offers only about 6mbps upload and 0.6mbps download, while your new LTE plan provides 104mbps upload and 7mbps download. The cost has dropped significantly—your old plan was $61/month, the new one is just $35/month. The new plan supports unlimited data with no fair usage limits, which should suit your needs better.
Your ISP router is compatible with mobile SIM cards, so it should work well for wired devices like PCs and a PS4 via Ethernet. You can connect two PCs over Ethernet and one PS4 over Ethernet using the same setup. WiFi on the 5GHz band is also an option.
Switching from a wired connection to wireless has some pros and cons. The speed boost is substantial—about 20x upload for half the price. However, consider factors like signal strength in your space, potential interference, and whether your devices support stable wireless connections. If you have reliable coverage and good network conditions, the benefits are clear.
You’re right to question the value; ensure you’re getting the most from the new plan and that your router supports the required hardware. No major drawbacks should be expected if everything is set up correctly.
