How to Choose 4G/5G Router for Farms?
Choosing the right router depends on the mobile signal quality on your farm and the number of devices that will connect to it. You can use your mobile phone with the mobile carrier’s SIM card that you want to use in the 4G/5G router, walk around indoors and outdoors, and check which spot has more than 3-bar 4G or 5G signals.

Indoor vs. Outdoor SIM Card Router
When the indoor can receive 3~4 bars, or the RSRP value shows above -85dBm, the indoor SIM card router can work well. If indoor has 0~2 bar signals and outdoor has 3~4 bars, the most reliable option is to choose the outdoor router models to ensure a stable Internet connection.
In some rural areas, the outdoor area could have a limited signal; please test the signals in your farm’s attic, roof, and high spots. When the outdoor area has poor signal reception, using a high-gain directional antenna can significantly improve the mobile signals for the SIM card router.
4G-LTE vs. 5G-NR Mobile Router
When your farm has sufficient and stable 5G coverage, and you prefer a higher-speed network, a 5G outdoor SIM router is a perfect choice. Meanwhile, the 4G mobile modem routers are more cost-effective and offer enough speeds for farm equipment to work. Check more about 4G/5G modem’s UE categories.
