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!

Update: 8 months on and still going strong. Never has needed a reboot and I use it for Teams meeting for work and other stuff :)Initial Review: Great affordable router , very easy to install using WiFi option. I bought a Lebara unlimited Data sim (runs on Vodafone network) from Uswitch website for a promo price for 3 months. Anyway router is great, offers both 2.4 and 5 G WiFi connections. I am using 2.4G on my mobile and I tested the router signal from all over the house and strength is STRONG and using my sim I’m getting 10M downloads via router. Websites are fast and YouTube streaming works great too. So you can try different SIM data cards depending on your network coverage , but router itself is great so far in day 1.

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.

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.

I was excited to see the promise of 1200 Mbps, but my experience with this router has been disappointing. I previously had a 4G connection that delivered great speeds—around 110 to 120 Mbps on my phone's speed test. But with this new router, I barely topped 80 to 90 Mbps. The signal strength just isn't cutting it, and honestly, it feels like a poor value for the money. I'm definitely let down!

I purchased this because my existing device did not support Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS), which enables access to a CCTV system when away from home. But I had not expected the strong Wi-Fi signal which easily reaches all corners of our 5 bedroom house. This allowed me to reposition the unit to receive the best 4G signal.I have a good knowledge of IP networks, and I am impressed with the comprehensive facilities offered, which for me were easily configured; but I accept would be not so easy for others to use. For example, Port Forwarding, DNS, DDNS all worked as expected. I noted the IP address in the supplied device was 192.168.10.1. You might need to change it e.g. to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 to work with your existing equipment.For the price, the facilities are excellent and I would recommend to anyone with moderate IP/Network skills.

I used it with a smarty SIM card and the WiFi connection is decent but it doesn't get good speeds.I wouldn't recommend,there are way better options out there

Brilliant quality.Brilliant value for money.Top class service.
