FAQ
What cellular technologies does this Cisco router support?
The ISR1100-4GLTEGB-RF supports 4G LTE across six frequency bands (700, 800, 900, 1800, 2100, and 2600 MHz) with backward compatibility to 3G UMTS and HSPA+ networks. This multi-band support ensures compatibility with most North American cellular carriers and provides reliable connectivity even in areas where 4G coverage may be limited.
How many devices can connect to this router simultaneously?
The router provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connections and supports wireless devices through its integrated Wi-Fi capabilities (though specific Wi-Fi specifications should be verified with manufacturer documentation). In practical deployment, it can typically support 20-30 connected devices depending on bandwidth requirements and cellular signal strength.
Does this router support VPN for secure remote access?
Yes, the Cisco ISR1100-4GLTEGB-RF includes VPN support, allowing you to establish secure encrypted tunnels between remote sites or for remote worker access. This feature is particularly valuable when using cellular connectivity as your primary or backup internet connection, as it ensures data remains protected over public networks.
What type of SIM card does this cellular router require?
This router requires a single micro-SIM card from your preferred cellular provider. It does not support multi-SIM configurations or eSIM technology. You'll need to obtain a data plan SIM card from a carrier that supports the LTE bands this device operates on, then insert it into the dedicated SIM slot before powering on the unit.
Can this router be used as a primary internet connection?
Yes, the ISR1100-4GLTEGB-RF can serve as a primary internet connection in locations where traditional broadband is unavailable or cost-prohibitive. Its 4G LTE connectivity provides sufficient bandwidth for typical business applications including email, web browsing, VoIP, and point-of-sale transactions. For bandwidth-intensive applications, verify that your cellular data plan provides adequate monthly allowances.
