Teltonika RUT955 Compact Industrial 4G LTE Wi-Fi Dual SIM Cellular Wireless Router with Serial Interfaces

We live in a rural location and years ago gave up battling with BT to get a good broadband connection - it used to drop out with the slightest rain or windy conditions for days at a time, and the best speed we ever got was about 2Mb/sec but it was usually a lot slower than that. We accepted that it was probably about as good as we would ever get.I read about using a 4G connection for home internet (mostly from other rural ex BT customers), thought about it for a while and decided to give it a try.Bought this box together with an unlimited data SIM card, and a decent YAGI 4G antenna. Am I pleased that I did!!On plugging in the SIM card and powering up the box on just the supplied mini aerials indoors immediately I had 2M/sec, and we live in an area that according to the network operator doesn't even have an outdoor signal. I now have the proper antenna working attached to the side of the house, and after aligning it for the best signal I was absolutely delighted to see that I have a 40-50Mb/sec service. And.... no dropping out, it just keeps working!The router itself is tiny, but still has 3 LAN sockets, 4 if you use the menu option of using the WAN socket as another LAN socket. The wireless is as good as on our old ASUS router. Plenty of options, more than I will ever need to use, very easy to set up.Overall I am just astounded at how well this box works.

I wanted a router for a robotics project, I had researched many options but the Teltonika really ticked all the boxes and a few more.The functionality I have used so far is the ability to to connect to another WiFi service and use it as a WAN and then fail over to the 4G connection. Currently I use the router in this is configuration to bridge a connection from the office to a field 100m away.The second feature I currently use is the ability to sms the router simple commands and get information back. It also allows me to turn services on and off just by a simple message.Theres also the ability to power this device off a battery(dc to RUT955 cable sold separately). The power range s from 9v - 30v. Having checked the power consumption ratings in the documentation, 24v is the most efficient.My next mission is to deploy a vpn connector directly onto the router using one of its supported services.Some things to be aware of(after 6 weeks of trying and failing)Your mobile service provider will always provide a public IP, but the router doesn't always see it as public, inshort, its public to the mast then private to the router. This is a bit of an issue if you want to ssh into the routerover the Internet using a ddns.The device isn't always great at reporting what speed you actually get. I have linked it to my home network and had 4k streaming services and other network traffic yet the sleedteoshown a connection of 4Mbps down and 1Mbps up, this was obviously garbage seeing as I tracked 100mbps concurrent traffic using a network monitor.To end, great device, smaller than I expected, works great.

Set this up in a boat to act as router from either a Wi-Fi marina feed or via mobile, i.e. 3g or 4g signal.This has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The internet has been steady on both inputs and it is relatively easy to switch between the two. FYI, I'm using a Ubiquiti bullet to pick up Wi-Fi and send the signal to the wan input of the teltonika.My only issue and hence the 4 stars, I upgraded the router firmware shortly after setting it up and then experienced periodic drop outs on Wi-Fi connections to third party devices, i.e. iPad etc. after a lot of investigation it turns out to be the firmware and after downgrading has worked with no issues. I run it 24/7 to access security cameras and fire detectors on board.There is a comment about missing parts below, the unit doesn't come with a GPS aerial and you dont need one.

After Tethering through my mobile and working from home for weeks in this Covid19 lock downThis router is the answer to not have home broadband (not available in my area for fast speed the best they could offer was 6 mbps)This Teltonika RUT955 LTE 4G Router gave me a +20 to 22 DBM increase to the signal from my cell tower which is around a mile away, this is due to the aerials that it comes with, this made all the difference between having applications and VPN dropouts and having a stable and fast 4G LTE connection, Ok I have only used it for one day so far but could not be more impressedIt has allowed to have multiply Ethernet connection to the router so not relying on WiFi but it has WiFi if you want to use it.If like me you are not IT then Teltonika offer a remote management service as an add onAlso the router has a firewall with SMS services builtin so you never mist that text messageIt comes with two 4 inch anteners that help boot the signal and is all I need to improve my connectionI did do a spead test and his router has increased from 5 mbps to 12 mbps as apposed to tethering through a mobile. This router for me was worth every penny and I would recommend it to everyone who uses 4G servicesI am hoping that in the future this will do 5G or Teltonika bring out firmware for 5G or have a future a product for 5G

This is the second 4g router I've had, and this cost double what the last one did.This router, despite being 'professional', suffers from bufferbloat meaning it doesn't handle its local traffic well, causing huge complete halts in speed where you will have absolutely no internet for a few minutes (go and do something else), after which it will cap at about 500kbps. You then have to reset it and it'll be back to normal, where we get 25-35mbps. Needs to be rebooted daily.Worst of it is, on contacting Teltonika, initially they gave some advice (tried, failed) and after that they said, "contact the seller". The manufacturer told me to contact the seller about THEIR product.Don't bother with 4g broadband. I would rather have 5mbps broadband than deal with this crap any more.

Worked perfect out the box really simple plug and play no fuss sim card in and piwer on after 5 mind it was connected and workingMy old issue was the listing said magnatised antenna's 2x wifi 2x mobile sadly inly 1 wifi and 1 mobile actually had a base magnet in them making the other two usless fir van life as. No way to stick them to camper

Update 20-03-2017I had a question regarding use of this router. Both TELTONIKA and Euro DK have refused to answer what is a simple question. Teltonika engaged me in a lengthy process of proving purchase and bouncing me around different people and then point blank refused to offer any help whatsoever.So, reluctantly, I have to report that Teltonika offer no after sales support whatsoever and I would, therefore, NOT recommend this product unless you have an existing relationship with Teltonika and most certainly not if you are a private buyer. Such a shame as the router is very very good. Next time I will buy a router from a company that has some concept of after sales support. To reiterate, my question would have taken a technical support guy less than one minute to answer. Such a shame!Five Star rating now reduced to Three.--End Update--All the usual 5 Star stuff applies. As described, well built, good service and works very well.This 4G router has solved several problems in one go and I am absolutely delighted with it and Teltonika. The problem started with British Telecom (scoundrels) trying to provide ADSL to a remote rural location. While they provided about half a meg (and took barrows of money) it was never reliable and their customer service just stinks. Further the BT Home hub was never really able to cope with a complex Internal network (LAN) and would issue the same IP address to multiple clients despite DHCP settings/manual setup etc - the hub would corrupt every time it rained (in Scotland this happens a lot). After 7 years of trying to get some service (or refund) I gave up and started to consider Satellite despite the cost and high latency. Then 4G arrived. I tested 4G using a cheap package from EE, worked great most of the time but their router only allows ten devices on WiFi and has no option to have static IP on the LAN ro other such advanced configurations. The RUT 955 is, however, very configurable!So I researched and decided to spend what seemed like a lot of money on this professional grade router. In summary, my research led me to Teltonika as they have a good reputation amongst professionals both for customer service and quality of goods.It comes with external antenna for the LTE (4G phone signal) and Wifi so it gets a great mobile signal (rural locus where handsets struggle) and spreads the Wifi further than I expected (it is covering a 2 acre plot with ease and I have not tried to optimise antenna locations yet).This is a solid router and professional grade. The case seems to be Die Cast Aluminium and is well made. I believe these routers are often used to connect Infrastructure to the net (Motorway signs, industrial uses etc) and might seem expensive for a home router. The router also has RS232, RS485 and Digital IO - so you can connect to legacy devices and even use the RUT955 to control devices.The box contains four magnetic mount antenna (standard SMA connectors) for the LTE and Wifi (2 each) and one for GPS. A power supply is included with uk plug. A DIL rail mount is also supplied. The manual is available from Teltonika.it and covers 177 pages - it is quite detailed and shows just how versatile this kit is. An Ethernet cable and quick start guide are included.The router will accept two sim cards (for mobile connectivity) and can be configured via the web based manager to switch Sims based on availability of signal, data limits and lots more. I am only using one sim at the moment.The router can also be configured to only use the mobile data as a backup... so if you have good landline service but need redundancy then this machine will do that. WAN (internet) can be sourced from Wifi, Ethernet or 4G.Cost of 4G Home BB has been prohibitive but is now becoming reasonable. EE, at the time of writing, are offering 64GB per Month for £30.05 if you order their little wifi router. The 'sim only' plan is more expensive and has less data allowance. So I have thrown away the EE router and put it's sim into the Teltonika - works like a charm. Additional data is available at £15/10GB. The second Sim slot means I can add more data with another provider should that become needed or when a good offer comes along or, indeed, if I need redundancy. This now allows me to ditch BT landline and what they laughingly call broadband saving me £70 / month or thereabouts (Just cancelled BT and it felt Great, really great!).So here is the real world summary.This morning I was paying massive amounts of money for unreliable internet from a BT, the crappiest company in the world. Speedtest on BT was less than 500Kbps, most of the packets dropped and internet available, on average, 40% of the time. Real world - could not even listen to Radio 4 Online, Email a pain, youtube...yeah right!RUT 955 arrived at 1230hours (thanks postie, we love you). Unboxed, bits connected by 1240. Wizzed through the 'Wizard Setup' in seconds. Configured the LAN machines and by 1300z.... did a quick speedtest. 49.9Mbps (forty nine MEGA baud, 100 times speed increase).It's now 1648, Radio 4 has not dropped out once and I am one very well connected and happy bunny who will now be watching YouTube in HD and will now use my Prime Membership to watch the odd film!The web based set up was absolutely painless and I quickly managed to set up static IP's on my LAN - all VERY easy. However, the RUT 955 is VERY configurable and will meet many requirements so don't be put off by the huge manual or sales pitches that aim at professionals. Dead easy for home use.Teltonika, very well done!If, like me, you have struggled to get any Internet or are just sick of poor service then I really recommend that you investigate a 4G service. If you want 4G and the ability to configure your internal network then go for the Teltonika RUT 955!! It is actually cheaper than BT if you shop around, performs a tad better (100 tads in my case) and the best bit... you can fire BT.ONE MONTH LATERThe RUT-955 continues to work extremely well. I have never experienced such stable networking and I just want to cuddle this little gem of a device every time I see it - no other interaction is needed because it just works without any fuss! EE data service in my area has been flawless, stable and fast. The router has now been configured to do some of the advanced stuff, it is all so easy and 'just works'. Despite my obvious enthusiasm for this gadget, this is a impartial and independent review - credit where it is due. Never mind 5 stars, this is truly a six star device

I fitted this to my narrowboat along with an LTE external aerial. I positioned one internal aerial in the main living area and one in the bedroom. Using SIMS from separate networks, no matter where I moor or connect inside or out I never have a problem. The perfect solution, don't waste time and money on mobile data boxes like I did.

Es un router caro pero la calidad general se nota. Se ve que está hecho para aguantar situaciones extrema. Lo he instalado en mi autocaravana y sin problemas. Recepción excepcional.Lo único malo es que el conector de alimentación es, al parecer, específico de esta marca y no lo encuentras por ningún sitio. Si necesitas uno, como es mi caso, hay que pedirlo por internet a un precio absurdamente caro.

Prodotto estremamente robusto e professionale, (la marca è sinonimo di garanzia) le temperature di lavoro garantiscono l'operatività in diversi ambienti compresi quadri industriali grazie alle molteplici soluzioni di fissaggio. Il rut 955 non è solo un router ma un dispositivo che racooglie più tecnologie centralizzandole in un solo sistema. La ricezione dei segnali radiomobili è buona così come quella dei segnali gps. Non esiste un manuale in italiano ma la programmazione è semplice ed intuitiva, ho avuto solo qualche intoppo nella configurazione delle mail. La gestione degli ingressi/uscite è di una versatilità mai viste, è possibile fare qualsiasi cosa comprese misure di corrente e tensione utili per informare su stato di batterie e utilizzatori. il 955 è interfacciabile con le piattaforme di localizzazione a pagamento di teltonika, gpsiot etc., ma funziona tranquillamente anche slegato da costoro informando in tempo reale l'utente su posizione, stato ingressi,uscite, allarmi etc mediante sms ed e-mail. Gli sms vengono utilizzati anche per la telegestione del dispositivo stesso compresi ingressi e uscite. Funzione molto utile, l'attivazione di uscite grazie al riconoscimento di uno squillo telefonico con id chiamante. Io ho installato il rut955 sul mio camper collegato all'antifurto cna, oltre alla connessione internet wifi e lan in caso di intrusione vengo avvisato da sms ed e-mail ed in caso di furto riesco a geolocalizzarlo. quando voglio sapere la tensione della batteria effettuo uno squillo e mi rtorna una mail con tutti i parametri che voglio sapere comprese le coordinate gps direttamente visibili in forma grafica su google map. Tutto quello che ho elencato è solo una piccola parte di quello che questo gioiellino può fare. Prodotto cosigliatissimo.

Wir haben diverse LTE Router ausprobiert und dieser hier schlägt echt alles. Er ist sehr robust und zuverlässig und erfüllt alle Standards und Wünsche die man im professionellen Umfeld haben kann.Seit 2 Monaten haben wir nun ca. 30 Stück im Einsatz und bisher keine nennenswerte Beanstandung. Das Problem meines Vorredners mit dem unkontrollierbaren Datenverkehr kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Ich denke das ist alles Einstellungssache. Wenn ich das NTP Protokoll nicht deaktiviere und mir ständig die aktuelle Uhrzeit von einem NTP Server abhole oder jede Minute einen Ping auf eine bestimmte IP absetze um zu kontrollieren das die Internetverbindung noch läuft, muss ich damit rechnen das dies Datenvolumen verbraucht. Wir sprechen jetzt nicht über riesige Datenmengen, aber die Anzahl/Häufigkeit machts. Es gibt diverse Einstellungen die Datenverkehr verursachen. Vielleicht sollte man sich diese nochmal ansehen und entscheiden ob man diese überhaupt benötigt. Falls nicht, deaktivieren.Eine schöne Sache ist die Steuerung und Konfiguration via SMS. Wenn doch mal etwas hängen sollte oder eine Änderung an der Konfiguration gewünscht ist kann ich dies von überall via SMS vornehmen (natürlich Passwort geschützt). Sei es die Initiierung eines Neustarts, die Änderung des WLan's oder die Konfiguration eines VPN Tunnels, alles über SMS zu bewerkstelligen. Gerade dann Sinnvoll wenn man das Notebook mal nicht zur Hand hat und dem Betroffenen helfen möchte oder keine Internetverbindung besteht.Wenn der Router einmal vernünftig konfiguriert ist macht das Teil richtig Spaß. Ich habe in diesem Preissegment kein besseres Gerät finden können. Preis/Leistung TOP!

J'ai une installation industrielle dans mon entreprise avec 20 serveurs informatiques. Suite à des coupures Internet Free récurrentes, j'ai investi dans ce modem pour mettre en place une solution de basculement avec l'internet mobile. J'utilise également la plateforme cloud de Teltonika appelée Remote Management System, qui me permet d'accéder très facilement à tous les serveurs en SSH ou RDP à partir de mon domicile, et ce pour un coût modique de 24 euros par an.Je ne peux que recommander ce modem industriel que j'ai intégré dans une antenne extérieure Quwireless spécialement conçue à cet effet.

Piece of crap worked for about 6 weeks and just stopped working. I've tried at&t and t mobile sim cards. Of course its too late to return. Really thinking about pursuing legal action. You can't even speak with customer service by phone. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Amazon shouldn't allow them to sell this crap on their site.
