5G Router for home wifi
Unfortunately, I'm no expert on routers (I am sure there are others who are though). BUT, don't forget that you will be relying on mobile signal and so will need to check carefully that the position of the router is such that there is a strong signal in that place in your home.
While a SMARTY SIM usually works in a mobile broadband router, bear in mind that SMARTY don't support their SIM cards when used in this kind of device. So, if you ever had an issue, getting SMARTY to help could be difficult, especially as they don't have a telephone support helpline.
Personally, I'd recommend using a landline broadband connection instead, if that's in your price range. Anyway, good luck IanTrud_1565651.
Betty_Swollox Not necessarily as simple as that, but you may be lucky. If it doesn't work 'out of the box' you may need to check that the APN Setting for the router is mob.asm.net.
To do this, you need to access the Settings page for the router. Probably best to consult the manual for exact details. Usually, you access that page via a web browser on a device; in the address bar, you normally need to put in something like 192.168.1.1 instead of a web address and then you will need the username and password (often something like admin and 00000).
As I say, you will need a manual for exact details.
The SIM did work without any problems but 5g signal is to weak in my area i only have 4g so it's not fast enough 😞
Betty_Swollox ...and that's why Smarty say that mobile data is not a substitute for broadband.
