Score: 78/100Rankings
The MikroTik LHG LTE6 kit is a rugged outdoor LTE Cat 6 CPE with a 17 dBi antenna, carrier aggregation, and PoE power, providing up to 300 Mbps in remote locations. Its large dish size, single Ethernet port, and complex setup may deter casual users. Suited for remote or rural deployments where wired broadband is unavailable.
The Zyxel C3510XZ is a fiber-only Wi-Fi 6 gateway offering high wireless capacity and four Gigabit LAN ports. Its limitations include lack of DSL/cable support, no multi-gigabit Ethernet, and minimal USB capability. Best suited for CenturyLink or other fiber subscribers needing an all-in-one solution.

Professional reviewers praise the LHGG LTE6 kit as a robust, high-performance solution for long-distance rural broadband, highlighting its CAT6 carrier aggregation, wind-resistant 17 dBi antenna and advanced RouterOS features. They note the hardware upgrades over the older CAT4 LHG model but caution that the large dish size and configuration complexity may limit its appeal to less-technical installers.
Everyday users appreciate the device's ability to provide fast, reliable internet in locations where phones and other CPEs fail, especially valuing the easy pole-mounting and consistent uptime. Recurring complaints focus on the steep learning curve, occasional overheating in very hot conditions, and the difficulty of accessing the SIM slot during installation.
Professional reviews are absent from the available sources; vendor and reseller descriptions emphasize the gateway's Wi-Fi 6 performance, integrated design, and suitability for high-device households, while noting that technician installation is required for activation.
User feedback is minimal, with listings showing few or no reviews; the limited comments focus on the product's specifications rather than experiential praise or complaints.
