InHand Networks IR302 Industrial IoT 4G LTE VPN Cellular Router, LTE Cat 4+ Wi-Fi, Dual sim Card Slots, Management by Cloud Platform, DI/DO Port, Support T-Mobile, AT&T & Verizon, UL Certification

At my rural home, an LTE connection is my only option for internet. I had been using a MOFI LTE router, but after a hardware failure and abysmal customer service, I swore off that brand and went in search of a different manufacturer.There aren't that many consumer-friendly LTE modems that are approved by Verizon, so I was really glad to find this InHand unit. I think it's probably meant to be used mostly for remote location IoT devices, but it has been working great as our home's primary internet connection for several months now. Connected to a 2X MIMO log periodic outdoor antenna, this unit consistently delivers excellent throughput and stability. Customer service so far has been great, too. I had a few configuration questions early on, and the InHand folks were quick to reply and helpful.Keep in mind that this is not bleeding edge technology. The modem is not the most current and supports only LTE. Also, the built-in WiFi is minimal at best (2 GHz only, single antenna), which is another reason why I figure this was designed to provide remote connectivity for IoT devices. None of these are a big deal for me - home routers are a dime a dozen, so I just connected one to the InHand's Ethernet port, and we were up and running with good WiFi. And I don't mind that the LTE modem is an older category. Our signal is marginal here anyway, and I'm not trying to do any carrier aggregation. Just need consistent, stable connectivity to the Verizon bands on our local tower, and this device provides that for sure.

Really like this unit. Been using it for a while now for remote monitoring package. Reliable connection over weak cellular access. So many features, and DIN rail mounting is a big plus. Would recommend

Inhand IR302 Industrial Cellular Router was used as primary connection to internet for 2 months without problem. IR302 receives signal from cell tower; converts cellular signal to Ethernet signal and communicates with computer using RJ-45 LAN port.More detailed instructions for setup would be helpful: Login > Network > Cellular > SIM Network Provider > select from list of major networks such as AT&T, T Mobil, Verizon, or choose 'Profile 1' if carrier is not on list > scroll down to 'Profiles, Index 1' and enter APN ('ccdata' for Consumer Cellular, my carrier). To store and refresh data: Network > Cellular, and confirm the new data is stored. Ignore 'Access Number *99#'; it is an old parameter for one of the dial-up phones carrier in China.Tech support was very helpful; provided instruction to test recognition of device, and ping test to check packet sent, received and lost.

It allowed me to maintain watch over a remote tower site until I could get fiber internet ran to it.

Works great with Verizon. Not for amateurs, not 100% intuitive setup, but once configured it's flawless.

This thing has only 100MBps ethernet ports, supported wifi is pretty outdated and the configuration UI is cryptic, lacking and buggy (for example, you can't configure routes freely, this thing will force gateway configuration on WAN port). However, it does support VPN and other features, making it a decent backup solution.

Great connectivity, long ranges and very reliable.

Bought this to provide WiFi for a remote camera and temperature monitor. Unless you get a Verizon or ATT data plan, it won’t stay connected with the lower cost monthly bring your own SIM cards. Setup is too complicated—you have to obtain and enter the telco’s passwords to enable data—in the modem’s internal settings page which was like a pre-DOS interface. Couldn’t get anyone to help me with setup. Couldn’t get the app to connect. If you’re an IT engineer, maybe you can get it working. As for me, it was not a well-planned, easy to get started undertaking and never worked.
