Hello,

I am tempted by the experience of being connected to the internet via 4G (in a house) with a router that has 4 RJ45 ports and an RJ11 for telephony.

-- This 4G LTE 150 Mbps WiFi N300Mbps Router - TP-Link TL-MR6500v - with telephony seems to do just that... with an SFR SIM card, specifically, https://www.red-by-sfr.fr/forfaits-mobiles/?cNat=datanat130g#redintid=B_HP_MEA-forfait-mobile-130go-5G-bonne-annee

the 130GB plan for €13.99... a solution that seems interesting, if it works.

My question is to get opinions on the intricacies of these setups..??

Indeed, I know how to route with a 4G TP-Link MR-6400... but there is no telephony... And are there any specific requirements for this SIM card... Is my plan’s SIM capable of that..?

Here is the router... https://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/materiel-reseau-wifi-internet-bluetooth/routeur-4g-lte-150-mbps-wifi-n300mbps-tp-link-tl/f-10715121304-auc6935364072353.html#mpos=0|mp

If you have better options, that would be welcome... for example, Gigabit ethernet

Thank you in advance for the pitfalls to avoid.

    Hello,

    wifi N is definitely outdated and fast ethernet ports are mediocre.

    All this for a 4G connection, it can be enough, but upgrading to better speeds is impossible, but well, it's cheap.

    And there you go ....

    But what a pain the line spacing is!!

    Thank you for your response... which suggests that "it might work"...

    I know that this isn't the best there is; but that's not my goal here.

    The goal is rather to stay within a modest budget with a system that works, even if...

    I have obtained speeds of 80mb... with a minimum of around 20, which works for me. with a voice service included...

    I think I'm going to give it a try.. Thanks A+++

      As for telephony, I don't have any information, but the user comments on your link seem to agree in validating the functionality.

    The follow-up,

    Today, I was able to test the Voice and data functionality of this 4G router with a friend's regular SIM card, and I can confirm that it works, even with a quite low speed of around 9 meg...

    So I'm reading the online newspaper page while making a phone call at the same time... Verified with calls to both a landline and a mobile...
