Has your home internet ever gone down at the worst time?
Have you looked at LTE routers but found them too expensive β or not very good?
Do you have a more extensive network, with multiple people or devices where its just not as practical to create a hotspot with your mobile?
Nowβs a great time to grab a LTE Router/Modem to ensure your internet never goes down!
It looks like 4G LTE routers are being heavily discounted as newer 5G models roll out.
These routers will automatically switch to the 4G if it senses your land line internet go down and can be used as modems so you can keep your current router.
You likely wouldnt want to replace your landline internet with these to be used as a dedicated wireless modem.
If you prefer a 5G router/modem, there are also some sharp deals from BDI (details below).

βοΈ Buying Tips
- Remember to pair this deal with a long expiry 4g data sim
- If you already have a good router β use these in bridge mode (as modem only - check nbn compatability in chart below).
- If your router supports dual WAN β you can also connect a portable modem/router/dongle if it has an ethernet out to the second WAN port.
- Want to replace your router?
β Check specs carefully! Ethernet speeds, Wi-Fi standard, VoIP, and antenna type (internal vs external) vary between models. The routers themself are average, and you may want to invest more. Some other options are below, but a seperate dedicated router may give you a bigger bang for you buck!
