I am looking to get one of these, but it needs to communicate with 3 devices inside of an outdoor metal cabinet. I am not sure if it would be able to work through the metal cabinet. Could the WAN cable be connected to a switch inside the cabinet where the signal could be and just run ethernet cables to hardwire the devices without having to rely on the WIFI signal being interrupted by the metal?
So our house is pretty big (old farmhouse) and the walls are plaster so we need multiple Wi-Fi units around the house for penetration. In our case, the Cudy (on the roof) brings in the cellular internet (via a network cable) and then runs into another router that sends the internet to 4 access points (Unifi Mesh) located in various spots around the house. This gives us excellent coverage inside.
You didn’t mention anything about if it put out a signal or if you get Wi-Fi outside from it or if you can only receive Wi-Fi through the Lan cable into the house
This unit has far exceeded my expectations. My use case may be different than some so I will describe our setup. Since we have a metal roof, which blocks cell signals very well I might add, we needed an external way of bringing cellular data into our house. By placing the Cudy outdoor router on a mast on top of the house and then running a network cable from the Cudy to the inside of the house we can broadcast the data via AP's (not Cudy) we have placed in various spots around the house. This way we have the best of both worlds...an external connection and the strength of additional AP's inside. The Cudy has been rock solid. It has full cellular bars and when I perform speedtests I routinely get 50mbs down and 15mbs up. For some that is slow but for us its better than we have ever achieved in our rural setting. As a side note...the Cudy does have onboard 2.4g wifi but we have turned it off because it will not penetrate our metal roof (which we expected) and is why we use the network cable instead.
Speed Test?

what speed do you get?
How much range and distance do you get outside ?

LTE is measured in megabits per second or any internet access solution.
how is it after using longer time speed? I read reviews weak connection

How far away is the mobile operator Antenna ?
Can you get 3G signal with this router?
