Nice price, got it for $199 couple months ago. It's sub-6GHz but I still reliably get 400mbps down in my area.
How is the wifi range in your opinion?
Thanks, which ISP?
Am planning to use with Optus on a short term work assignment.
Could you use this on the go with a regular phone Sim as a poor man's starlink? Hoping this would help boost my Felix Sim lol
I couldn't find any information about it having a battery so you'll need an external one.
Oh I sort out the battery issue. Just curious if it's as good as a 4g/5g booster but budget
Been looking for a breadbox and thought I just found it! 😂
🤣 i thought it’s sort of some kitchen utilities appliances and skim thru i also thought it was some kind of organised container for the router, then read carefully and see that it’s actually a router
I thought it was an outdoor ip65 waterproof power box
Am I correct that I cannot use this for a normal wired broadband connection that will fail-over to 5g? I could only see a LAN port, not WAN on it.
the 4/5G Sim is the WAN link.
You would probably need to connect this and your existing router to some kind of switch or directly to a single device you want to ensure a connection on.
Is it worth buying it, if I already have Telstra 5G network, that I pay $85 pm?
Btw, the document mentions using a SIM, where do I get this SIM?
The ISPs either give you a modem on 36 month contract or say it remains their property and you just get a loan.
This allows you to use a sim on a BYO, prepaid or postpaid plan.
"This Jen, is the internet."
Can I put my mobile phone card in? And use it for home internet if I have enough data on my plan? Cheers
Yep, given the router supports your carrier.
Just use your phone as a hotspot.
I've never had wifi any other way. Phone Battery is still as good as new - lasts a couple of days (Nokia 3 from 2018).
I assume a router would have better range and configurability.
True but it really depends on indoor coverage/range and 5G compatibility. But a phone has the added benefit of being completely portable so you can take it anywhere.
This one at $99 is a good price, shame it’s sold out.
I think yes as it needs a sim card and will use data from your plan with the mobile carrier.
Any good 5G plans?
I'm on an iiNet 5g 50mbps plan, it is $50/month for 6 months then $60. They also sent me a router included. I had heard bad things about 5g but for me it's consistent, reliable and delivers the promised speed.
$60 is still a fair bit…
TPG 100gb large plan at $22.50/month for 6 months and $45/month thereafter.
There's also the $10 off your first order plus free shipping when making an account which is a nice bonus.
Looking at the comments:

Seem like an older modem.
But if @Febb can get 400mbps, that good enough for me
Got excited for a second. I was looking for a wave maker for my fishtank.
Expired?
Just ask Copilot and it answer: "You don't necessarily need to upgrade your modem to watch Netflix". Ok! next deal.
Code expired after doing all my research on it rip
grabbed one, thanks OP
No mention of bands.
Datasheet on their US website has shocking band support for Australia. Not clear if the Australia one is different, but I can't see anything to indicate it is. https://static.inseego.com/us/download/wavemaker-fx2000-data…
