sim router - Enquiries - 10-21-2023
I need help. I need to get internet into a barn where my granddaughter keeps her horse. I am within a mile from the cell towers and but I don’t know what to buy to make it work. After watching your videos, I see that I would need a 4 or 5G lte router and a modem or a combination router/modem, an exterior antenna, and 2 cameras. I would like to have POE connections on the router. I have watched many youtube videos on this type of equipment but most of them are using cheap routers and Chinese antennas and I have no confidence that they will work for me. You seem to be at a much higher level of knowledge in this area and I have watched your videos but I get lost in the terminology used in explaining things. I’m not a technical person.
If you could help me I would be truly grateful. I will be using a “T-Mobil” sim card.
I'm an old retired geezer, so cost would also be a factor.
Thanks, John

In your situation, where dealing with power cuts is a real concern, it's crucial to invest in the right equipment to keep your NAS up and running. For a robust solution, consider the Netgear Nighthawk M6 (MR6550). This 5G SIM router not only offers a compact design but also boasts user-friendly architecture, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a guided experience. While the price tag may seem daunting, it's well worth it for the features it offers. The Nighthawk M6 Pro supports Wi-Fi 6E and has a 2.5GbE network port, allowing for faster and more stable connections. With a 16-hour battery life and a responsive LCD touchscreen, it provides both power and control at your fingertips. Its user-centric design makes it one of the most consumer-friendly 5G SIM routers available.
Additionally, to add Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, you can consider a device like the TP-Link PoE Switch 5-Port Gigabit. This switch offers four PoE+ ports, making it ideal for powering your cameras and other devices.
For an even better connection, you may want to invest in an external roof antenna that can be attached to the back of your SIM router. This will help enhance your signal reception, ensuring a stable internet connection even during power cuts.
