What it contributes to the stream
This part alone, with every other slot assumed generous and a platform that allows the tier. Your build's real verdict is the lowest ceiling across all its slots, which is what the configurator computes. Conservative planning budgets, not measurements: methodology.
Our take on the Cudy LT500 4G Router
The Cudy LT500 is a 4G LTE Cat 4 router with dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and four Ethernet ports, a cheap backup or remote connection for a stream. At a tracked $99.99 it sits at the top of a $99.98 to $99.99 range across nine points from August 26 to October 19, 2026.
The listing gives LTE Cat 4 with top speeds of 150 down and 300 Mbps on paper, Wi-Fi at 867 plus 300 Mbps, and WAN failover that moves to cellular when the wired line drops. WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPsec are built in. For streaming, upload speed is what counts, and Cat 4 is a modest ceiling. You supply the nano SIM. It has 4.3 across 3,129 retailer ratings.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
