Router recommendation

Post by fmj435 »

WIth covid 19 and the WE826 and WG3526 being out of stock, I'm not crossing my fingers that I will be able to purchase one any time soon. Does anyone have a recommendation for a router that will work for me in the meantime? Or possibly another source to buy one safely? I plan on using an EM7565 and using simplemobile to pick up band 66 on a Tmobile tower.

The Cradlepoint CBA850 is a simple setup that is very popular...

If you have some time to wait I think thewirelesshaven.com will FINALLY receive their shipments of routers. Stuff is being held up because of all the worldwide goofiness and The Wireless Haven is no different.

BUT ALSO....

Any router on this list:

Flash r00ter onto the router.

Most will likely need one of these:

So that you can plug the modem into it and tether it to the router.

Maybe buy some better antennas if needed later.
