 +Something to pay attention is the number of spatial streams a router supports. This is typically something like **"2x2"** or **"4x4"** 
 +
 +A "2x2" cellular router means that the device can transmit and receive 2 spatial data streams at the same time. This can give both more speed and more range, as you'll actually have two separate antenna leads so you've got a better chance that at least one of them is getting a good signal. If it can get good signal with both, it'll bond them together for more speed.
 +
 +A "4x4" router can do four data streams, which is even faster and has even better range, but also means you need an antenna that has four leads on it which is more expensive.
