Pepwave routers are rock-solid. This is my 6th purchase!

Date Added: 05/18/2021 by Charles G. (Ruston, LA)

Packaged well. Had a little trouble with shipping but it was all Fedx. I have not had a chance to use it yet but looking forward to seeing how well it works.

We've been installing these since the model was introduced and have found it to be an excellent value with exemplary performance in the coastal marine environment..

No brainer. Excellent product. great range, flexibility, on software.

If you need to "git 'er done," spend the $800 and plug in.
