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?

Now’s 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).

βš™οΈ 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!

  • I just use my phone as a hotspot if home internet goes down

    • yeah for simple setups, or single users, in a small area creating a hotspot would be a perfect option.

      unfortunatly not for multi rooms, devices, people..

      • The Flint 2 router allows tethering from the phone, you just plug it in the USB port and the data is sent over your network. Im not sure how common this feature is though?

        • yeah i guess if your router has a dual wan, I am assuming there will be a way to connect your phone to it. I havent seen the option you spoke about before.

          Also to note, most people are on a monthly plan which you may not want your family to use up your monthly data by connecting it to a router. Having a seperate modem/sim that doesnt use your monthly data may be a benefit. as well as some may not want to give up their phone.

          so I am sure there are a few different ways to skin this cat.

    This is a good one

    Can attach a normal headset and make/recieve phone calls via VoLTE while still using the modem for data

    • Yeah its a good one, I was going to get that one originally, but 100 Mbps ports through me off, so I went with the other one which as the gigabit ports.

      I am currently on 100Mbps plan with my ISP, once I am able to upgrade I will, and I am not sure how far out that will be.

    We locate in Australia for product research/design/innovation and Combine advanced information technology to build a true Australian product and service
    Product Return Address: Unit 2189, 5 Percy St, Auburn, NSW 2144, Australia

    That address appears to be a Kennards Self Storage location.
    The ABN shows postcode 2762 (possibly Schofields) - I assume a home address rather than a commercial one.
    Where are they carrying out their product research etc and 'building' their 'true Australian product'?

    • my local Kennards has a number of ebay/Amazon type shippers who seem to work from there. For a small business/startup, I wouldn't hold that against them.
      I think even NRMA have a deal with them to store some of their battery stock with Kennards, in case someone is broken down and the closest mechanic doesn't have the right battery already in their van.

      • Same, the Kennards I'm with is always busy during the day with people running office/warehouse businesses in their (some of them really big) storage units.

      • my local Kennards has a number of ebay/Amazon type shippers

        Exactly the type of business that this appears to be.

        I have no issue with that sort of business unless it presents itself as one that is locally researching/designing and selling a truly Australian product

        We locate in Australia for product research/design/innovation and Combine advanced information technology to build a true Australian product and service

        I very much doubt that's happening from a Kennards Storage unit.

  • how do these compare to TP-link routers?

    • That would be a very tough question to answer given the variety of tplink routers out there. If you compare it to the ones at similar prices, i would say the specs here are much better. But i am one that spends quite a bit on my router given what i want from it. My previous tplink routers have failed in my environment. That being said i will just be using these bdi products as modem that connects to my router to provide the 4g backup capability.

      I also notice that BDI has telstra, nighthawk and other brands available on their site. Not sure if this means they have a colaboration with those brands which would add to my confidence in them. It looks like there is an employee of theirs that tends to post here. Not sure if he can provide more detail. @Stephen pan

    More useful in the UK where unlimited 5G is like $15/mo via deals (rarely enforced 500-1000GB fair use)

    • More useful in the UK where

      …we are not πŸ€—

      • Yeah; they're not overly useful here was my point.

        While in the UK I had unlimited 5G internet @ 500-700Mbps for 7 pounds a month (the tower happened to be on the building across from where I was staying), but with data limits here it's essentially useless. Any plans with unlimited data are speed limited AND have terms against using them as hotspot devices regularly / to replace home wifi.

        On the off chance you need it here, your phone hotspot usually does the job anyway given the lower data usage & lower likelihood of multiple users (ie replacing home wifi) due to fair use policies.

        • wow.. 500-700mbps is nice.. cant wait until we can get that here..

          That being said, these modems/routers are probably used to more as a failsafe , eg if your landline internet goes down, it will swap to your mobile data as a backup seemlessly. So you can get smaller mobile plans, that roll over , or where you can share data with your mobile.

          • @addict: Optus gets it in the cities when close to a 5G tower too, also likely Telstra but haven’t tested. Have seen 1200Mbps on Optus when across the road from a tower, no unlimited data though and definitely not for $15/mo

            Regarding failsafe a lot of routers have USB ports that support plugging your phone in as a modem these days, people don’t often realise though. Not all router USB ports work for it, but a lot of the newer ones do. Isn’t automatic obviously but in the rare occurrence it’s a few minutes to get it back up and running

            p.s scancom is the seller on Amazon if you ever need SIMs in the UK, their prepaid SIM sales work out to anywhere from 5 - 15 pounds a month on sale for unlimited or 500GB (depending on network, price depends on how long the expiry is). You usually need antennas on the modem in the UK for a really good signal unless you’re in a really lucky location, but it’s cheap at least

            They’re also cheaper for 5G modems over there, about $300-350 for a really good home one that supports antennas (hybrid backup style models)

  • Why do so many wireless modems lack B28? I managed to find a tp-link portable modem that does, but most of them don't!
