I was coming to the end of my Sky Broadband contract and didn't want to commit to another 12, 24 month contract as my house is for sale and I will probably move into temporary accommodation. So I was looking for something that could support up to 3 people WFH, TV streaming (I have Sky Stream,2 Fire Sticks and Hive all depending on access to the internet. After carrying out research I thought that a Netgear Nighthawk M1 would be good, so got one on eBay at around £130. Although it worked, the signal was not that great around parts of the house: but one of the key reasons that I re-sold the Netgear, was that every 24 hours the PPP connection (via the SIM card) was reset, but the Netgear router could not deal with this and needed to be manually reset.So I then came across this Router, which had plenty of good reviews. So I ordered one and set it up (which was really easy). Unlike the Netgear, the signal was better around the house, but importantly it automatically dealt with the PPP reset without the need for me to do anything. The router has easily dealt with everything that I have thrown at it - I do not see any difference between fibre broadband (I had 150Mbs) and the Cudy router using Tesco Mobile (on O2) - the speed is less - I think on average it is around 50Mbs, but everything works very well. Certainly I have had no complaints from anyone WFH, and Sky Stream (connected via power line adapters) is as responsive as it was previously. And the biggest surprise - this is a lot cheaper than I was going to have to pay to Sky. I have a Tesco Mobile unlimited SIM for only £20 per month, which is just as well as I have gobbled up over 40Gb in just over 2 days!

Of great Functionality, Excellent signal strength, Great coverage, Value for money, Great features.

I currently live on a farm with no internet access so I had to go for something that could use sim cards and compared to other routers I’ve had previously this one has been the most successful.From a technical standpoint:I went from getting 3-10 mbs to getting 40-50 with this router. And for someone who likes to do online gaming I’ve had no issues with input delay or drops.Issues I’ve encountered:The main 2 issues I’ve had is one there is no off button and the reset isn’t a button so you have to put a pin in it. And the other issue is when running the router for too long like a day the speeds reduce heavily when playing games from getting 40-50 ms in game to 200 if it’s left on over night. The common fix I’ve found is just to disconnect the sim when not using the router.Conclusion:Honestly I haven’t tried it connected to a modem with wps but for the sim card feature it works really well, and it was so easy to set up i believe it too 5 minutes. I’d really recommend picking this up if you are looking for good quality network connection in remote areas.

Although it doesn’t seem to support 5G cellular service, it supports 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands with no problem. They are separate SSIDs so you’ll need to login to both versions separately and pick whichever one you want to connect to.I mainly used it for gaming as I knew I wouldn’t have internet access for around two months, and this was sufficient. NAT type was great, connection was great, no problems. Keep in mind I used ethernet from my console to the router as the wifi was not quite what you’d want for gaming — but that’s more due to the SIM and its service rather than the router’s.Easily accessible admin page with all sorts of settings so you can adapt it to your needs. For the price this was honestly very worth the money I spent and I fully recommend it.I used it with a Smarty Unlimited Data SIM.

I've been using an old phones hotspot on a smarty PAYG SIM and getting an average of 30meg connection. Thought I'd upgrade and buy this. Same SIM card placed it in the same position on the shelf as the old phone and the fastest I can get it is 9meg???

This was so easy to set up. It’s difficult to explain. Really very easy.You turn it on, insert a Sim and wait for a red light to turn blue.The first few hours I thought it was very slow but over the next couple of days it sped up to pretty much what I would expect. I would definitely recommend it.

We have been wanting to sort internet access at our caravan for some time. After sorting a good data sim deal I purchased the Cudy LT50. It was very easy to set up, on powering up, the led flashes red then steady red as it makes the connection, then once internet is established it turns to steady blue. This gives you a clear indication of the set up stages then completion.The signal strength took a bit to settle down and because the caravan is a metal shell it seems to works best near the window side of the unit. I also adjusted the 4 antennas to get the optimal signal strength.We watched a whole series on ITV X last night with absolutely perfect streaming, no buffering whatsoever. I connected the TV with the supplied Ethernet patch cable, but the WiFi works well with our mobiles and laptops. Adequate speed and very good area coverage, it works well outside too. All in all very good value and painless set up. Can definitely recommend it.

It is not "blazingly fast" as described on the box. This is only a class 4 router. If you are over 1km from a mast you will get a slow speed. No issues with the WiFi though. Product support good though.
