I can confirm that with current routerboard firmware the telstra 4g E8372 prepaid works like a dream on RB2011 On 26 October 2016 at 15:52, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:
Hi Stephen, we use RB951Ui-2nD for out of band installs and they work well with the Sierra Wireless U320 USB Modem, we pickup the modems on Ebay for about $40 each, sometimes less.
We plug them into the USB port on the router, they present as an LTE port and you just setup a DHCP client on that interface and it works well.
We only use for out of band so I can't comment on the speeds we achieve, but these are on the Telstra 4G network and we use the telstra.extranet APN then VPN to our DC.

Hi all,
I have a MikroTik RB951G-2HnD at the moment. I've recently moved to a new location where no ADSL or WDSL is available. This essentially leaves me with two options - satellite, or 4G. I was considering 4G for the moment at least.
My question is largely twofold:
1. Has anyone got a tested USB 4G modem/card/etc that they can say definitely works well with the MikroTik? Don't want to fork out some money and find out it doesn't :)
2. Can anyone confirm a provider/plan that works well with this? I am considering Optus's "$70 My Mobile Broadband Plus" or, more reluctantly, buying their "Home Wireless Broadband" plan for 200GB a month, but, I have to then buy the Huawei E5186 modem.
I couldn't find any definitive advice if we can bridge the E5186 and get the MikroTik to do the dialing. I'd rather avoid double-NAT'ing if I can. Otherwise, I guess I could pull the SIM out and stick it in a known working modem - but that seems awfully expensive for not much.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks,
-Stephen
