ASCII.jp A fixed line (?) Realize a fixed line (?) With a super -cheaply obtained LTE router + cheap SIM

　The moving season may be in full swing, and some people may be in trouble because the Internet line temporarily disappears.Although it is not as inconvenient as the smartphone era, there are more situations where fixed lines such as IoT equipment, such as TV and printers, are increasing.Therefore, we considered a method to realize a fixed line that can be used for ultra -short -term reliefs when moving with a cheap SIM.

In order to use a fixed line at home by data communication of cheap SIM, a stationary router for LTE is required.If you purchase it alone, it will cost a reasonable price, but recently there are products that can be purchased for a few thousand yen at used or online auctions.

A terminal that can realize a fixed wind line with a cheap SIM for data communication

　Originally, cheap SIMs were mainstream of data communication -only SIMs rather than SIMs with voice calls.I guess some people have a memory that a TV commercial that could be used for 900 yen per month was flowing.Unlike with voice calls, there is no minimum usage period, and you can cancel as soon as needed.The contract itself can be used immediately if you buy a subscription package with a SIM card at a consumer electronics retailer and activate it over the phone.You don't need time to wait.

　Although it is such a convenient cheap SIM data line, it is desirable to use a dedicated terminal to use it in a fixed line.If only a device connected by a wireless LAN, the tethering function of the smartphone can be managed, but if it is necessary to connect with a wired LAN, it is not so.

There is a way to use tethering, but it is troublesome to turn it on every time.

　And another problem is the hassle of turning on the power.Smartphones and mobile routers may be cut off without permission depending on the sleep settings.When connecting again, it is necessary to press the power button or set it up again.This is troublesome.It is a method of combining a cradle with a mobile router, but the cradle is sometimes optional, so there is a sense of expensive when it comes with it.

Mobile router + cradle has a problem of acquisition

　Therefore, we use a stationary mobile router, but it is surprisingly expensive to buy it.For example, "Aterm HT100LN" is commercially available from NEC Platforms, which cost more than 10,000 yen.And the wireless LAN is 2.There are many specs aspects, such as switching to either 4GHz band or 5GHz band.In addition, there are methods such as attaching a USB adapter that supports LTE communication to Yamaha's high -performance router, but the introduction cost is high.

Used stationary mobile routers of 5000 yen or less are available

　However, recently, a lot of used and good things are available.They are products such as "SPEED Wi-Fi Home L01" and "Speed Wi-Fi Home L01S", a stationary router sold from au and UQ Mobile.

Therefore, we prepared a product called "Speed Wi-Fi Home L01S".

　Originally for WiMAX 2+ services, it supports communication with au 4G LTE, so it can be used with cheap SIMs on LTE lines.In addition, since it is originally like SIM, it can be used as long as the cheap SIM of docomo / au / Softbank line is set.

　A large number of used goods are available in the market, and used dealers can be obtained at around 5,000 yen and online auctions.It is very bargain because some of the usage period is extremely short.Because there are many, it is not difficult to get it.

　The advantage of using SPEED Wi-Fi HOME L01/L01S is the cost, and compared to Aterm HT100LN, 2 wireless LAN is 2..Compatible with simultaneous use of 4GHz band and 5GHz band.Conversely, the disadvantage is that in addition to the hurdle of using used, basically the specifications that match the AU and UQ mobile services, there are few compatible bands in docomo / SoftBank networks, which may be disadvantageous in areas and speeds.is.

　In the first place, because it is for au and UQ mobile lines, even if it can be used now, there is no problem in the future.Since SIM locks are not announced clearly and free, it may be changed by the firmware update.Keep in mind that you can use it cheaply by wearing risks yourself.

It is important to make a high -speed plus area where you buy an actual product and try settings

　First of all, the difference between L01 and L01S is not a big difference between Micro or Nano.Considering the use of other devices, NANOSIM's L01S would be useful, but the market price is slightly cheaper.

SIM is inserted from the bottom

There are two wired LAN ports

　If you need it right now, it is better to search the used dealers online and head to the store with stock, but if you can afford it for a few days, you can use a mail order or online auction, and if you are worried about the operation, there is a guarantee.You should choose a dealer.

　I got the L01S for about 5000 yen, but with all the explanation stickers and the like, the AC adapter had no evidence of the vinyl to which the cord was unraveled.I'm not willing to pry about the reason for purchasing the original owner, but it is thankful for those who want to get it cheaply.

　SPEED Wi-Fi Home L01S settings are about APN registration, and cheap SIM users will not be very difficult.Originally it is a device for au and UQ moile, so there is no setting of other cheap SIMs, so all must be set manually, but the content is common.

　Specifically, insert the SIM, turn on the power, and open the router setting screen from the device connected by the wireless LAN, and insert APN information.The important thing is to set the communication mode setting to the "high -speed plus area" (originally a mode that uses both WiMAX 2+ and au 4G LTE).If you do not set this mode, you will not be able to communicate with LTE, so it will not be connected to the net at all.

This is a general setting method that sets APN from the setting screen

Configuration mode setting is "high -speed plus area"

　In addition, set the IP address and wireless LAN of the playbate network according to the LAN environment at home.The wireless LAN can be connected to the SSID described in the sticker of the main unit with a security key, and the connection setting using WPS is also possible.Some internet appliances cannot set wireless LAN connection unless they are WPS, but that is fine.

You can freely change the setting of the wireless LAN
