I recently purchased the Firstnum CPE C1 WiFi Router hoping for a convenient solution for on-the-go internet connectivity through the SIM card slot feature. Unfortunately, the device fell short of my expectations.
To start with, the primary reason for my purchase was to utilize the 4G LET CAT4 capability, which promises up to 150 Mbps. I tried multiple SIM cards from different carriers such as Simple Mobile, Lyca, Ultra, and T-Mobile. Regrettably, none of them worked with the device. It’s a significant letdown considering that this feature was the main selling point for me.
On the brighter side, the device did function as a regular WiFi router. However, that wasn’t what I was looking for. I could’ve opted for numerous other routers at potentially a lower price point if I only needed regular WiFi functionality.
Moreover, to add to my disappointment, the return window had closed by the time I fully tested the product. Now I’m left with a router that doesn’t fulfill its primary promise.
To anyone considering this router for its SIM card slot feature, please proceed with caution. The regular WiFi functionality is there, but if you’re looking for a reliable 4G router, this might not be the best pick.
