Thanks for this, I work remote and my internet was super unreliable, until I got that thing from you guys. 10/10.

if it doesn't have WiFi wan or the wan port open then your only option to get online is over the sim card? no option for bonding or anything so it'd basically an expensive 4g modem?

Nice price point on this one! We could not work full time while boondocking without our Pepwave setup.

With the wan feature unlocked (added price), are you able to bond the wifi with the data sim? Or is this router just using only one source at a time?

Would this work for home internet with an unlimited data plan? Also can i put my own sma antenna on it? We have 1 bar of signal but direct line of sight to the towers about 15 miles away so i think a high gain directional antenna should fix that and make it work here

Have you actually attached a Starlink to the wan port?

Is this an upgrade at all over the BR1 MK2? I have that model currently and my parents are looking to add one to their RV too. Not sure if it would be worth selling mine to them for cheap and purchasing this one myself or if they should just pick this one up themselves.

I am a long haul truck driver I am not technical at all will this thing being easy to set up? And would I be able to take the Sim card out of my iPad and put it in this device or would I have to buy a new data plan? Thanks

Looking to move on from a 3 year old Netgear Nighhawk M1. Will this be a nice upgrade from that?

interesting. how is this one compares to AT&T nighthawk m6 pro MR6500 ? similar price, and the nighthawk is capable of 5G, and is portable, so you can take it with you to a trip in the nearby city.

The card with the QR code does not tell you everything you need to know for setting up. My LAN don't work and The sim card is not activated. Not much explained on these features.
