There's tons of options, and the "professional" grade routers aren't much more expensive than that consumer grade AC800s. With the one I have I get a removable SIM, dual SMA antenna connectors for MIMO with the ability to have an external high gain antenna, 5 ethernet ports, and a box that runs a version of ddWRT that I have full control over.
The AC800s is $200, my modem was $350.

- HotGarbage 3y agoUsed hotspots are $12 on eBay. The Franklin T9 is hackable and fun, but it would be nice to have Ethernet and OpenWRT for less than $100

- fy20 3y agoI have a ZTE MF286D that I picked up for €80 last year. Installing OpenWRT requires soldering wires to access the serial port, so I haven't bothered yet (the native OS works fine for what I need), but as I understand everything is supported.
