4G, 4G+, or 5G Router: Which is the best solution for a fast and stable connection?

Discover the key differences between 4G and 5G routers, from speed to latency, choose the right device for your needs.
June 3, 2025

In an increasingly connected world, having reliable and fast internet access has become a necessity, whether for remote working, streaming, or online gaming. 4G, 4G+, and 5G routers are ideal solutions to enjoy a high-performance connection without relying on a fixed ADSL or fiber optic line, or even in areas where fiber optic is still unavailable. But what are the differences between these technologies? Which should you choose based on your needs?

What are 4G and 4G+ routers, and how do they work?

A 4G router uses the 4G LTE mobile network to provide internet access. It doesn't require a landline: simply insert a SIM card with a data plan to get an instant connection. 4G+ (also called LTE-Advanced) is an evolution of 4G, offering higher speeds thanks to better signal management and frequency aggregation.

The benefits of a 4G and 4G+ router:

  • Fast internet connection with download speeds of up to 150 Mbps for 4G and up to 300 Mbps for 4G+.
  • Simple operation: a SIM card is all you need to get connected.
  • Ideal for areas where fiber optics is not yet available.
  • Ability to connect multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet ports.

STRONG's 4G and 4G+ routers

Portable 4G routers are perfect for connecting on the go. For example, the portable 4GMIFI150C model lets you share a Wi-Fi connection of up to 150 Mbps with multiple devices, all in a compact and portable format. For a version with a display that facilitates network management, its screen counterpart is an excellent alternative.
For home or business use, the 4G LTE Router 350M offers enhanced performance with a Wi-Fi speed of up to 300 Mbps, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Gigabit Ethernet ports for optimal stability.

Why choose a 5G router?

With the arrival of 5G, mobile connectivity is entering a new era. A 5G router functions like a 4G router, but with much higher performance, thanks to speeds of up to 3200 Mbps.

The benefits of a 5G router:

  • Extremely fast speeds of up to 3200 Mbps, perfect for 4K streaming, instant downloads, and cloud gaming.
  • Very low latency, ideal for uninterrupted online gaming and video conferencing.
  • Compatible with Wi-Fi 6 technology, ensuring a more stable and faster connection for multiple devices simultaneously.
  • Suitable for smart homes, allowing you to use high-tech devices without network overload.

Which solution should you choose: a 4G, 4G+, or 5G router?

  • A portable 4G router will be suitable if you need a simple and efficient mobile connection, ideal for travel and on the go.
  • A 4G+ router will be preferable if you want a stable and fast connection at home, without fiber optics.
  • A 5G router is recommended if you want an ultra-fast connection capable of supporting online gaming, intensive remote working, and 4K streaming.
  • Remember to check network coverage: if 5G is well deployed in your area, it's an excellent choice for enjoying a high-performance connection over the long term.
