Great solution for dedicated LTE Internet in rural locations with limited coverage
Finally something that works! I’ve owned several different models of the Netgear Nighthawk products and while they are fast and fancy, they don’t seem to offer the reliability that this dedicated device can provide.- I already had SIM cards for T-Mobile and Verizon, but was very impressed with the carrier scanning capabilities. Ideally you’d purchase this thing first and find out the best carrier and location for mounting before getting service and a SIM card and this device allows you to do that.- I ended up mounting this to a ladder with zip ties so I could move it around my property until I found the best location and orientation. The signal strength wasn’t always perfectly consistent since I’m on the fringe of these networks range, and some fine tuning during storms seemed to help.- The POE is extremely helpful for me since I can do a custom Ethernet cable from this antenna right to my network shack.- As much as I’d love this thing to have an awesome wifi access point built in, I can’t help but wonder if that’s one of the issues with the other products that are out there with so much tech and wireless packed into a single device. The router capabilities are pretty decent, but I ended up using a dedicated wifi router for most everything on my network which will hopefully mean that I can leave this thing alone.

UPDATE: Worked for 30 days then stopped
UPDATE 5/24/23: Asurion approved my claim over the phone but never sent email confirmation with return info, which turned out to be a good thing, because Elsys finally got back to me 3 weeks later via email. They apologized for an internal issue that kept them from accessing customer emails, and have been VERY helpful over the phone since. They explained there was an issue with AT&T as a carrier in particular, and that I needed to do a software upgrade to use my AT&T SIM card. However, since I couldn’t connect over AT&T, I had to wait three days for a random “connected without internet” to happen so I could login to the Amplimax IP address and do the upgrade.Internet is now back, but it keeps disconnecting every hour or so which is fixed by powering the Amplimax on and off. Customer support is currently looking into why and seeing what settings (APN) might need to be changed to fix this. So even with internet back they are still trying to help improve the service. Very glad they reached out and the troubleshooting help!FYI for anyone using Verizon data plans, they said they are in the process of working out a few kinks with Verizon, so if you’re having trouble use T-Mobile or AT&T. And/or do a software upgrade if you’re having issues when everything else seems to be working.*************************************************************************************************************************At first the modem worked like a gem right out of the box. Did the signal scan and saw At&T was the strongest at 88%, bought a prepaid AT&T cellular tablet data plan, popped the SIM card and was FINALLY able to use a VPN for my work and have strong Zoom calls. I was so excited to have a solution to rural internet.However, after a month the device stopped working. There’s no error message about the SIM card, my data plan is active, my router has no error messages and the wifi network still pops up, but any device I try to connect says “Connected without internet.” I even bought another prepaid plan thought H20 wireless (a sub company of At&T) to try. It randomly connected for 24 hours one day, but that was it. So now I’m paying for two prepaid plans and the modem is not working with either.I emailed Elsys customer support a week ago, but no response. My Amazon return window expire two weeks prior to the device failing, so now I’m trying to replace it through the Asurion protection plan I bought through Amazon. Fingers crossed, because this WAS the best internet I’ve had out here in the country (wait listed for Starlink, satellite internet has extremely high latency and speeds less than 10 mbps, no fiber optic options out here.) If customer support was better there might be a way to further troubleshoot, but I’ve tried everything in the manual that came with the modem and the manual I found on their website.Great concept, but it needs tweaking and/or better customer support to actually work.

It says all US Carriers…. But read my review
I have had mine for a 3 weeks now and still haven’t gotten it to work. I put in a Verizon Sim card that I was using in a Jetpack. I’ve been going back and forth with them and this was the last response I received.”Looking at your picture I conclude your configuration is correct. Your Amplimax is registered on the Verizon network, but they didnât give you an internet connection. If your plan is working correctly, Iâm afraid there is nothing else to be done. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee Amplimax works with Verizon. Would you consider using another carrier?”Haven’t had a chance to try another carrier. T-Mobile is not even in my area. I Will update the review if anything different happens.It is not compatible with Verizon even though it shows it as the strongest provider.Couldn’t get it to work, however, Elsys provided all the support needed to try and solve issue. They gave me a full refund.

Had to install software update
Had to install software update from internet before we could use reliably. Just google Elsys Amplimax software update. Could not get in contact with brazilian customer service. Using this product with an at&t sim card. Works great for us since we have no option for internet except for satellite in our rural area.
