Cudy LT300: Backup 4G LTE Internet for Office — Review

Why Backup Internet

Without internet: POS dies, online cashier dies, delivery stops, kitchen tablets miss orders, cloud surveillance fails. Uzbekistan ISPs drop 1-2x/month for 30-90 min. 4G LTE backup auto-takes-over in 5-10 sec.

Our Test

1 month as primary during ethernet renovation:

99.5% uptime Tashkent

8 workstations OK

Zoom flawless

Netflix 4K no, 1080p OK

After install became backup — auto-engaged 4 times in 6 months, ~25 min each. Saved dozens of transactions.

Pitfalls

Antennas — internal OK in Tashkent, external 200-300k for regions

Placement — by window

"Unlimited" cap — fair use 100-200 GB then throttled

Not for fast main channel

Wi-Fi 4 outdated — use as modem behind real Wi-Fi router

Alternatives

Cudy LT400 — Wi-Fi 5, LTE Cat 6 (300 Mbps), 1.5× price

MikroTik LtAP mini — RouterOS, ~1.5-2M

Yota/Beeline 4G modem — cheapest (~600k), no failover

Office Solution

10-30 person office:

Main: UCG-Ultra or MikroTik hAP ax²

Backup: Cudy LT300 + Beeline Business unlimited

LT300 by window

1.2M + 1.5-1.8M + 250k/month

Pays for itself on first outage.
