I just wanted to see what they said.A router is mostly kind of generic. What feeds it is generally the important interface, ie cable modem, dsl modem, fiber interface etc.These LTE routers have a SIM card and are essentially a phone. WHY IS IT A HOME ROUTER? SOUNDS MORE LIKE A WIRELESS HOTSPOT.Because it is a router (LAN switching interface) along with a cellbased WAN connection instead of cable or DSL. The thing was reallypretty cool with a "guest" mode, address translation, encryption etc.It just didn't have a decent connection speed here.
ROUTERS TYPICALLY HAVE 2 LAN MODES. 2G (LOW SPEED) AND 5G(HIGH
SPEED). WHILE 5G IS FASTER IT DOESN'T HAVE THE RANGE THAT 2G HAS.
IF YOU THINK OF WAN AS INTERNET AND LAN AS YOUR COMPUTER AND OTHER
CONNECTED DEVICES, THINGS BECOME A LOT CLEARER. CABLE AND DSL ARE
TYPES OF WAN CONNECTIONS. RG 45, CAT 5 AND CAT 6 ARE ETHERNET
CONNECTIONS. ONE OF THE ETHERNET CONNECTIONS ON A ROUTER IS
DEDICATED TO CONNECTING TO A MODEM OR OTHER DEVICE THAT CONNECTS
TO WAN. THE REMAINING CONNECTIONS CONNECT TO LAN DEVICES. WORDS
HAVE SPECIFIC MEANINGS .
