Cudy LT500

The Cudy LT500 is a Cat41) LTE modem and AC12002) wifi router/repeater. There is relatively little documentation so this page attempts to collect what there is. It is reported to use a Qualcomm EC25-AFX chip for LTE3) and Mediatek MT7628-series for wifi.

The router is powered by 12vdc, 1A adapter, so should be easy to run off house power.

The LT500 is related to the LT3504), LT400 and LT4505) It is not immediately clear what the difference is between 450 and 500 besides color.6) When checked, firmwware v.1.3.6 for both was byte-for-byte identical and refers to Mediatek MT7628 chip:
