Teltonika RUTX50 Industrial 5G Router, 4G Cat 20, 3G, Dual SIM, Wi-Fi 5, 5x Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Found out about this through some lucky googling after multiple disappointments from big name networks. This thing absolutely owns. Super easy setup but massively customisable. Has every input you could want and all superbly engineered. If you are looking at a 5g or even 4g router then just buy this and save some time, save a lot of aggro, and quite likely save money too. One of my best purchases ever.

Widely regarded as one of the best 5G LTE routers on the market. I’m using mine in a flat with an external maswell aerial. At the moment. The new version is out with improved internal WiFi this means that the price on this is now nearer £400 than £600. The best thing about this router is that it is so configurable. You can make it latch onto higher speed cellar signals and also add a second sim if you were using it as a mobile internet in a caravan motorhome boat etc.

Expensive, but does what it claims and has some good customisation and functionality.Prior to this I had a Zyxel (three) router which only supported 2x2mimo. I was getting 40-120 mbps download average when connected to a single 5g poynting XPOL-V2 antennas .With this new router, I have connected 2 of the above mentioned poynting antennas to give me a 4x4 mimo setup. The connection is now around 70-150mbps download.Big investment but happy with the results.

This worked for almost a month before it became unreliable. It was well made otherwise and has a lot of features. I was surprised that it failed as it seems to be solid and of industrial use quality otehrwise. I suspect that I may have just have a bad unit, but would not risk trying the same again.

I’ve had it for a month or so running. My thoughts:Works well when it works, so that’s good.The gui is via a website ie 192. And the restThe functionality is pretty good.One thing u need to be aware if although it’s 2 sim it’s not 2 modem, I think others have said this already, so if u put the router to switch when the signal is bad it only switches back if the secondary sim runs out of data ( u can put a max of say 1g per day) or that sim also gets bad coverage. Not idealThe remote settings only work if u buy the monthly license ( although there is a home assistant hack, too long to explain if you aren’t oh fe with hacs)Haven’t tried gps as I’m a home userHaven’t tried WiFi as I have a seperate set upOther than that happyI did set up an external antenna, didn’t make much difference. Not sure any of them do

This is a better way to stream on my Tv, put in an all inclusive 5g SIM card, WOW!!! getting 230 mega bytes/second, on a card!!!!Cancelled my Virgin Media that was £ 50per month/ now it’s £20 with calls / texts.Easy to set up, takes 2 SIM card’s so if 1 card is slow it can switch to the other.Take a look and cut the cord.

Given the previous absence of a 5G travel router at a reasonable price, I was using a 5G I-Phone 12 as a ‘hot spot’ for live streaming sports broadcasts when away from local fibre broadband. However, such use rapidly degrades the I-Phone battery and there is a tendency to overheat and inconveniently shut down. An I-Phone is obviously not designed to be on charge for eight hours, has comparatively weak antennae and I needed a better option.In bench tests, the Teltronika RUTX50 is delivering 5x the IPhone speeds using an identical EE SIM, location and conditions. It is expensive compared to any 4G models, but does means my I-Phone can breathe a sigh of relief, plus I should be future proof.

I had high expectations when I bought this 5G router but sadly for my needs , it did not perform any better than cheaper 5G routers.ProsThis is a perfect router for an internet savvy individual. It comes backed with many features and services (some paid services ).ConsFor the price tag, this router has only one internal modem.It comes with two SIM card slots but please note that you are limited to using one SIM card at a time and the second SIM card only works for failover purposes which doesn’t work so well on this router.Download and upload speed - I have three separate SIM cards (Three, Smarty and EE) I get better download and upload speed from my cheaper 5G router with no external antenna. The RUTX50 comes with several antennas but they don’t improve your signal strength. I travelled across the UK with my RUTX50 router and it didn’t perform any better than my current router.Internet Bonding - you cannot install an internet bonding service if you’re on the latest firmware this is because the company that provides bonding services is always two or three firmware behind Teltonika’s firmware update and this is the main reason why I had to return my RUTX50 router.Overall I find the router very expensive for what it offers. It is my opinion that this router is only worth half the RRP price.
