Afternoon, If you want something rock stable then i recommend the Cisco 88Xg series. They are fixed interface devices with either xDSL/HSNS/Ethernet WAN ports and inbuilt dual SIM 3G. They have dual antennas with N-Type connecters for low loss external antennas if needed. We have deployed these in the past for 3G failover on xDSL connections and they have always been extremely reliable. -Laurence Bullivant laurence(a)bullivant.co.nz On Sat, Jan 31, 2015 at 3:34 PM, Darren Moss wrote:

Hi All,

We have a bunch of regional sites (weather probes) that run some equipment, 2 PCs and are connected to the internet.

At the moment it's dongle city which I would like to change over to something a little better :)

I am looking for suggestions on a decent (business grade) router with 3G capability an external antenna connection.

At each site, the equipment sits in a rack, inside a hut and signal strength is reasonable (3/5).

My thinking is to deploy a basic Cisco router with a 3G WIC then an external antenna on the same mast where we collect weather data.

Happy to hear suggestions and input.

Many thanks

Darren.
