What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

What customers like about Cudy LT300

  • 4G LTE Cat.4 modem with up to 150 Mbps download
  • Nano SIM slot with automatic WAN, WISP and cellular failover
  • USB-C power works from a power bank or car charger
  • WireGuard and OpenVPN server and client built in
  • Compact 126 g body, 118 x 80 x 27.5 mm
  • OpenWrt support for custom packages and routing

What customers don't like about Cudy LT300

  • Wi-Fi 4 on 2.4 GHz only, 300 Mbps
  • Two Ethernet ports limited to 100 Mbps
  • Only 64 MB RAM and a limit of 30 devices
  • No 5 GHz band for less crowded channels
  • Ethernet cable not included in the box

Verdict

Cudy's LT300 is a compact 4G router for places with no wired broadband, such as caravans, pop-up shops and worksites. Slot in a Nano SIM and the LTE Cat.4 modem delivers up to 150 Mbps download. Wi-Fi is single-band 2.4 GHz at 300 Mbps and the router handles up to 30 devices. Two Ethernet ports run at 100 Mbps only, and they can be set as WAN or LAN. At 126 grams and powered over USB-C, it runs from a power bank or car charger. Extras include WireGuard and OpenVPN server and client, automatic failover between WAN, WISP and cellular, and OpenWrt support for tinkerers. With only 64 MB of RAM and Wi-Fi 4, expect basic household use rather than heavy loads. It is a budget choice for travellers and backup connections.
