Please Help Me Find SIM + Ethernet Router

Hello everyone

I’m trying to find a router that has ethernet port and can also accommodate a SIM card (since it’s my primary internet source), would love to spend as low money as possible.

Thank you all

    I have that one, it has band 28 and works well. You might find it cheaper elsewhere though.

    • Nice I’ll have a look now and will decide.

    Just take your pick: https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/3g-4g-router/

    All routers here except the last two have built-in SIM slots and Ethernet.

    • Thanks, I’ll do some research and pick one if if I don’t find anything cheaper.

        If you want to have the same outcome(4G internet via Ethernet) the cheapest would be to get a TL-MR3420 for about $40 and pair it with a 4G USB modem/dongle from your preferred carrier (These could be found quite cheap on eBay or Gumtree) and you would be up and running for around $60+

        • TL-MR3420 is a good find, I have dongle already! thanks mate!

          • @Okayy: Sorry I got the model wrong- I was referring to TL-MR3020 which is the cheapest model in the TP-Link range.

            Make sure the dongle is not one of the newer ones with built in wifi as they would not work with the TL-MR3020. Only older 4G USB modems that need to be connected to a USB port of a computer are compatible. I have about 20 of these at remote sites all around Australia hooked up to IOT sensors and have been generally trouble free for the last 5 years.

            • @websterp: I have Telstra 4g dongle any idea on those?

    You can use GL-MT300N-V2 ($30) with an 4G USB dongle. I am using the same but with a old phone with USB tethering
