Recommended Internet Systems & Cellular Plans

Hi Hartley,
I do need to update a couple of links in this article, including that one. The MAX BR1 Mini is definitely an option for a cellular router. Keep in mind that it is inexpensive for a few reasons:

  • It is an entry level product. You’re not going to get flaming speeds with this unit
  • Depending on the version you choose, you’ll either have a category 4 or category 7 LTE radio. Both of these are very limited and quite old in the case of the category 4. Most new stuff is category 20 or higher.
  • This will be LTE/4G only, no 5G.

Depending on where you use it, how it’s cabled, and where the antennas are, plus of course the plan you use with it, it could be comparable to the speeds you saw from the Glomex unit.
