    NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem with Two Gigabit Ethernet Ports – Instant Broadband Connection | Works with at&T and Alternate Carriers (LB2120)

    • I am in a very underused LTE market and get great speeds, but my speed has been even better with this device.
    • I am thinking of getting a T-Mobile CelSpot (which T-Mobile currently provides for free with a deposit) to see if I can reach 4 or 5 bars on the router to see if that further improves my internet speeds
    • I've done several speed tests, and from 270 feet away out at my son's bus stop, I get speeds as fast (or faster) than if I had an AirCard in my pocket
    • My speed is adequate at around 14mb/sec down, 1-3mb/sec up with 2 bars of strength
    • Speed is great and has been 100% reliable since I put in service about a month ago.
    • That's 5 whole revisions ahead...in simple terms, that means much faster speeds supported with the same quality of connection
    • As a matter of fact, we have DSL at our home and the maximum speed available to us is 12 Mbps!
    • plus I can wire my arlo security cameras and hardware smart TV for better speeds
    • What this translated to using my current setup was this: after they throttled the hotspot speed, I ran Speedtest on my iPhone while connected to Wi-Fi and was still getting great download and upload speeds (no throttling noticed).
    • and now I got fast enough internet speed on my laptop and iPhone even with 3G speed.
    • Already I was getting better internet speeds than with my current DSL service
    • The real useful download speed (i.e., when pulling a large from from an internet site) is much slower, at around 0.5 Mpbs
    • I previously bought a Huawei B890-66 LTE modem which is alleged to be L700 compatible but speed was
    • However, the slow speed probably has more to do with T Mobile
    • I got an external antenna seems to improve the speed a bit too, so I recommend that.
    • However, it's interesting to note they do not throttle LTE speeds on your mobile devices, just your Hotspot speed.
    • T-Mobile says that they may limit speed for tethering (which
    • It also seems to be smart enough to recognize that you are running speed tests (against any of the popular speed test sites)
    • this thing's top speed where I live was about 8Mbps up
    • Works well, was able to use an external antenna to get a strong connection to cell tower and obtain reasonable speeds.
    • Avoid it!Purchased for office use last Christmas with the recommended antenna for this model, Installation was around January 2018, didn't use it much, during the mediocre speeds, intermittent signal, and dropping connections
    • Update 30 Oct 2017:I have bad news for those of you on the T-Mobile network:The T-Mobile network seems to recognize this device as a hotspot/tethering device, and throttles the speed accordingly
    • Sometimes, I even exceed the download/upload speeds that I am currently getting via the local cable monopoly with their lowest cost subscription.
