LTE router usage.

Oct 09, 2017 2 Replies

Hello,



A friend uses a phone, connecting to a cell tower about 10 km distant, as an access point in Tanzania. According to this map, there are LTE routers which work in N. America and part of S. America and other routers which work elsewhere in the world.

This TP-Link MR200 router works in Ghana.

I expect it to work in Tanzania as well. Can anyone confirm or deny that? Will any router work throughout the world? Or in N. America and Tanzania at least? Any additional recommendations for a router?



The connection to the distant cell tower should be better if one of the monopole antennas is replaced with a directional antenna. Any recommendations for that?



Thanks, ... Peter E.


There are *many* LTE bands, you need to find a router which works with the same band(s) used in the country you're interested in ...

This works very well. It also has external antennas, so if the signal is low, you can connect better antennas to improve the connection.

Bye Jack
