Okay, let's talk about this fancy 5G router that's been both a blessing and a headache.
The Good: This thing turns a basic SIM into FAST 5G internet (when it works). Took it on a road trip - kids streamed Netflix the whole way with speeds around 200Mbps. The dual-SIM feature is genius for automatic failover when one network drops.
The Bad: It's terrible with smart home devices. Like, 'throw your smart bulbs out the window' terrible. Can't handle combined 2.4GHz/5GHz networks properly. Also randomly gives 100% packet loss to connected devices - super fun when your Zoom call dies mid-presentation.
The Ugly: Spent hours tweaking settings to make Verizon work (Visible/Total plans). Works great... until the tower gets congested. Then it's slower than dial-up. And why does it cost $400+ when cheaper routers do some things better?
Pro tip: Get a USB-C power bank if using in your car - no battery means instant shutdown when you turn off the ignition.
Final verdict: Great as a 5G modem, mediocre as a router. Would I buy it again? Maybe... after more coffee and therapy sessions.
