I've seen the standard consumer access point products, and they are not what I'm looking for. I want a wired bridge to feed an access router for my home network. We're dumping U-Verse for TV, and since I have a lightly used 30g data plan with AT&T, I want to look at dropping the data portion of U-Verse too.


I am passingly familiar with Cradlepoint products, though I'll have to do some research to figure out which of their products is most appropriate. What other brands/products should I be considering?


I'm not adverse to a roll-your-own answer, like a Raspberry Pi and USB LTE adapter, but I will need reliability and speed out of it. A cool project that will need regular tweaking or can't maintain decent data speed is not appropriate in this case.

I setup a basic one for a buddy it is configured like this and runs pretty great    android hotspot -> Win7 PC w/ICS -> router running as switch and AP






The PC use to have 2 wireless cards and connected to the internal AP via WiFi this was fairly reliable but I would have to stop by once or twice a year to connect the proper wireless adapter to the correct network - now that the PC is wired to the router it has been running nice and smooth.

We use a lot of these combo in commercial projects.  Works great.

If the LTE card is one supported by Router OS…Mikrotik would have lower cost but just as effective systems as Cradlepoint and even Cisco.
