Its a bit pricey yes, but... it can work "anywhere", and the mini-dish or
whatever that router was, its possible to run off battery packs if needed.

The idea is to have Internet in even the worst-case scenario, which sortof
presented itself recently up here with a bad storm which also knocked out cell
service, so could not use my laptop Simcard nor tether off my phone.

Although my UPS ran the router and Fiber gateway for hours, the outage lasted
into the early morning. Sounds crazy but I refuse to lose any shiftwork
because of no Internet.
