HI,

I got this nice little firewall with 16G RAM and 256G NVME for running OPNSENSE.

11th Gen N5105 N5095 Soft Router 4 Intel i225 2.5G LAN pfSense Firewall Appliance 2xDDR4 NVMe
Mini PC OPNsense Virtual Machine

The hardware has a sim slot and a MPCIE slot for a 4G LTE MODEM card.

What is the best 4G card that works well with OPNSENSE ?

Thanks,

/rs

I had good experiences with sierra wireless Mc7304. It is an older model, but i think newer sierra wireless cards will work well too.

Hi Fbar,

How did you go with your 4G failover, what card did you go with?

I have a similar firewall and thinking about doing the same thing.
