    Hi

    I have a customer who can't receive  ADSL or Fibre at the moment, and also wants to use the device in this manner. Can you send me whatever you sent to BusinessConnect please?

      I'd be very wary upgrading. I upgraded ours with the Beta Firmware and its pretty much "bricked" the Device. Connection remains active for around 60-120 seconds and then hangs with no Data Flow.
      I've reverted to a Dovado Pro Router with a Sierra AC320U USB Stick Modem and that's been rock solid for 4 weeks+

        Hi,

        Thank you for responding to my post. I assume that you were recomended to upgrade to the Beta firmware?

        The speeds on this device are impressive, but probably far in excess of what my client realistically requires.  What are required is a secure and reliable connection.

        Which router model did you select? Did you consider using one with an integral LTE/3G/4G built in?

        Thanks for your help
