Top 4 LTE CPE Routers 2016
As we all known, CPE is generally owned by the telecommunications provider, though some customers do choose to purchase modems or routers. CPE for small offices/home offices (SOHO) or residential broadband access needs to be easy to configure, administer, and secure.
Consumer-grade CPE best practices include the following:
Do not forward packets that have a multicast source address.
Block packets destined for multicast destinations in the outbound direction.
Do not allow RH0 packets inbound or outbound.
Block packets sourced from Unique Local Address (ULA) space (that is, FC00::/7).
Block other bogon addresses from entering and leaving the interior LAN (difficult to do because this list changes several times each year).
Block packets that are not sourced from the global unicast prefix assigned on the LAN interface. This prevents spoofed packets from leaving the user LAN.
Deny packets sourced from the internal LAN prefix from coming in the external interface. This prevents spoofed packets from entering from the Internet.
To follow these guidelines, we would list 5 home-user-grade LTE CPE routers for home and SOHO. They are the simplest form of routers and have single default settings, and they provide DHCP services to the computers on their wired or wireless LAN.
1. Huawei B593. The B593 LTE CPE router is the first LTE TDD wireless broadband router in the world, supporting LTE TDD/FDD 800/1800/2300/2600MHz up to 100Mbps download speed. Access for up to 32 WIFI devices marks as an ideal home entertainment and information exchange hub. It supports multiple devices and provides simultaneous high speed access, perfect for SOHO's and small businesses with its connectivity options.
2. Huawei E5175s-22 is the new one LTE-Advanced 300Mbps mobile hotspot router. It is compatible with mainstream LTE bands FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz and TDD 2600MHz, also works for 3G UMTS 900/2100MHz, you can access internet through WIFI or Ethernet and enjoy up to 300Mbps fast speed.
3. Huawei B315. The B315 is older than B593. It delivers maximum speeds of LTE CAT4 150Mbps through its Gigabit Ethernet port. The B315’s enhanced Wi-Fi extends wireless coverage and eliminates dead corners. It offers wireless access for up to 32 devices. The B315 also provides VoIP features.
4. Huawei E5186. The E5186 is the latest 4G LTE Wi-Fi router with LTE Category 6. With the Carrier Aggregation technology, the Huawei E5186 could support peak download speed to 300Mbps and upload speed to 50Mbps. Up to 64 wireless users could access internet through Huawei E5186. It is the first device that achieve both LTE-Advanced (CAT6) and VoLTE. The sub-model E5186s-22a supports full LTE frequencies including LTE FDD DD800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz and TDD 2600MHz.
