Hello everyone, I hope this finds you in good health.
To be short about this, I'm looking for a 4G LTE modem/router to have installed at my home so that I can have it act as the gateway to the VI LTE network.
I recently had my home (Karnataka) surveyed by the company's signal testing team who claimed that the place my home is in has excellent coverage area, and had shared the detailed they collected to me too (it was two snap shots where one is the signal strength and other related data while the other is just an Ookla speedtest readings). The information provided seemed promising (of about 30mbps which I reckon I can improve to 50 mbps if I do the placing of the router well inside my home.
I tried finding for suitable routers but I'm concerned of LTE band support since I've read a few posts here that warn about VI using non-common bands(?) which aren't usually found in all phones, and I'm concerned that this might also be the case with 4G LTE routers as well.
To anyone asking why I didn't go for a wired connection. My home's quite far from any worthwhile wired broadband local/large ISP in my locale, and they decided not to lay cables seeing that it isn't cost effective to have them installed and my neighbours are rather content with using wireless mobile internet.
Also, to add any information which might interest anyone. I've been wanting to have a stable broadband installation done as I am interested in building a home network, and it is easier if the home network has a gateway to the external network as well instead of having two separate networks with one being only for the local devices and another just for me to use the Internet with.
TLDR; looking for a 4G LTE modem/router that can handle stable connections to VI's LTE network that is in Karnataka.
