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 LT700E

  • Four Gigabit Ethernet ports for a NAS or desktop
  • LTE Cat.6 with up to 300 Mbps download
  • AC1200 Wi-Fi 5 with MU-MIMO on 5 GHz
  • Automatic failover to cellular when the main line drops
  • WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPsec VPN server and client
  • 128 MB RAM and Cudy App cloud management

What customers don't like about Cudy LT700E

  • Internal antennas only, no aerial upgrades
  • Wi-Fi 5 only and no 6 GHz band
  • Mid-range price for Wi-Fi 5 hardware
  • Weighs 330 g, heavier than pocket 4G routers

Verdict

Gigabit wiring sets the Cudy LT700E apart from cheaper 4G routers in the range. Four GbE ports sit beside a Nano SIM slot, so a NAS or desktop can use the full speed of a wired link. The modem is LTE Cat.6 with carrier aggregation and speeds of up to 300 Mbps download, double the Cat.4 models. Wi-Fi 5 AC1200 provides 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, with MU-MIMO on the faster band. Failover switches to cellular when the main line drops, and WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPsec are built in for remote access or a VPN gateway. The antennas are internal, which keeps the body tidy but rules out upgrades. It costs mid-range money for a Wi-Fi 5 box with no 6 GHz band. It suits business backup and rural broadband.
