It's also annoying how hard it is to find good 5G enterprise modems. We have remote test sites, as well as backup internet for offices that are currently on 4G that I want to upgrade to 5G but it's hard to find. All I want is a 5G modem with an Ethernet port that will go to our existing routers. A lot of what I've found so far either has a lot of surplus features (routing, WiFi, etc.) which I will probably have to just disable everything on (Peplink looks decent and is in this category as far as I've looked, but I'm having trouble finding their gear for sale in my country), or has become "cloud managed" nonsense. Cradlepoint, for example make really nice hardware but now you have no option to use their "cloud management" stuff which I absolutely don't want or need, so I will not buy any of their gear. Just give me a web UI, it's not too hard...



don't forget the firmware quality.

google had to warn all pixel users recently to turn off modem because of a remote full control exploit on the cheap modem they used! it was the first late update to make it even more fun to pixel customers.


Very true. One of the sites I’ve inherited has an OEM branded unit that I can find for sale, but not find any manufacturer page or any new firmware. It’s been there for four or so years… Who knows what vulnerabilities havent been addressed… It’s pretty high on the list for replacement.
