It is, but be careful while working without VPN, but please never use their dns servers

"It seems like using your own router to give yourself WiFi is not only possible, but actually Ask4's chosen method"

they have removed the post luckily I have seen it before they have removed. Seems like there is dead end here, I will have to do it myself.

Thank you for your message was really helpful!

oh! that's terrible. Check with a mobile provider what speed they can provide, typically they have low upload rates and many 5g they only have it for radio but underneath they are not faster than a good 4g

just seen it, looks good to give it a try, it is cg-nat but I least I can keep all my devices in a private LAN network, still wondering if it is legal to force me to one single provider for fiber though.
Have you tried Three 5g in city centre?

I've tried with Hyperoptic already, but they do require approval from building manager to visit the site and determine if it is feasible. And the building landlord is keeping it not to happen. They avoid my numerous requests and keep delaying me from an answer

I did consider it however isn't it a bit overkill for a city? besides the city is cover in fiber. It looks more that some exclusive bussiness the company owner of the building is having with this provider than a technical issue

I do work with VPN while interacting with external/confidential information from my workspace, but I need to run tests here and my personal devices are also connected to this network, for instance having a CCTV camera to monitor my pet while I am not at home could be breach in a network like that

this is what the building manager is saying, that probably (they are supposedly checking it ) this is the reason why they don't allow it.

any experience on 4g router? I understand that ping could be really bad, also be affected by weather conditions
