TL:DR are the LTE routers appropriate for home users?
Hi, first off sorry if this should not be in the RouterOS section but I didn't "Articles for beginners" was right either.
Yesterday I didn't know the company Mikrotik existed but today I want to buy half the hardware I see. I want to get a LTE (CAT7 or above) router and access point for my holiday house. I am especially in love with this https://mikrotik.com/product/lhg_lte18 but I can't quite justify it. My concern is that I need to learn RouterOS and spend a lot of time tweaking settings, when I just need it to work every day.
Currently I use a no-brand 5G router. I use Home Assistant to control heating remotely, which is critical at winter. It has LTE CAT19 and I did some 4G speed tests and got upwards of 250DL, 90UL speeds.
The dream setup would be a LTE modem with PoE, a small router and an AP. So each component can be upgraded. Or should I give up and get the Chateau LTE12 or Chateau LTE18 ax.
