How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn't exactly a major metropolis, but we're in the middle of town! It's not like they're relying on Hughesnet or something.
Also, it's not that they're cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

My phone provider (GoogleFi) allows you to get a free data-only SIM for your account. I put that into the ZTE USB dongle thing, and plug that into the mini router. That router can be powered by a USB battery bank, or your phone's USB-C charger, or a wall plug. It then gives you your own OpenWRT router you can use wirelessly, or via a CAT-5. I have unlimited data, so I don't get charged extra. I have the router setup with Wireguard into my house as well, so I can get adblocking through the router as well. It's all very compact/portable. I just used it on a road trip, plugged into my car's USB port, and my son streamed Netflix on his tablet.
I have also used that USB dongle directly into my Linux laptop, and it was plug-and-play as well (bypassing the need for the router).
edit: basically it's an over-engineered dedicated hotspot, but I'm a geek and like to over-do things
They have the Spitz out now. I live rural and actually have this as my whole home modem.
I have a pfsense modem between it and my network for routing/vlan but its great! I have the modem paired with the waveform antenna on a 40ft tower. I love that it tells me connection speed to the tower similar to how your WiFi network adapter will tell you the speed between it and the WiFi access point. It will say like 200M. So I know I can get up to 200M but because of prioritization+usage on the tower my actual speeds are 80mbps during Netflix hours but closer to 200m when I first wake up.
Tldr: glinet makes some solid hardware and software. (I know openwrt did most of the heavy lifting. But its well polished. )
