Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini with Cat 4 LTE Modem - HW2
[MAX-BR1-MINI-LTE-US-T]

I have used USB broadband devices in routers for years, but found that as I updated both Verizon and AT&T USB devices I was experiencing issues with compatibility and performance. While discussing my latest issue with the folks at the 3G store they recommended that I consider this router with an embedded modem. Up till now routers with embedded modems have been quite expensive, but this one seemed worth a try. I removed the SIM cards from my Verizon and AT&T modems, plugged them into the router, and I've been up and running ever since. Such a big improvement over the random disconnects and poor performance I was experiencing with the USB modems. Also this router offers a simple and robust connection to an external antenna, doing away with the fragile connectors on the USB modems.
