ERGO R291b 4G Wi-Fi Kit + 2 Mobile Guard Mini Antennas for Apartments and Blackouts
A ready-to-use Internet kit for apartments that helps you stay online during blackouts and problems with your main Internet provider. ERGO R291b can work with wired Internet through WAN/LAN and automatically switch to mobile 4G when the primary connection is lost.
If the power goes out together with the Internet connection, the router continues operating from its built-in 4000 mAh battery. In our tests, the ERGO R291b operates from the battery for up to 10 hours. Two external Mobile Guard Mini antennas can be placed outside the window and installed vertically on an external metal windowsill for mobile signal reception.

Two Mobile Guard Mini Antennas — Move Mobile Signal Reception Outside the Window
In an apartment, the external antennas can be placed outside the window on an external metal windowsill. The magnetic base of the Mobile Guard Mini allows the antennas to be installed vertically on a suitable metal surface without drilling.
Each Mobile Guard Mini has a 2-meter RG58 cable, so the antennas can be positioned outside while the ERGO R291b itself remains inside the apartment.
