I warmly welcome,
I live in the countryside without access to wired Internet (in any form). Around the village there are LTE transmitters from the T-Mobile / Orange network (shared according to the BTSearch website). We currently have a white Huawei router (on the first floor) and a TP-Link Wi-Fi Repeater (on the ground floor, the same SSID). Internet quality is sufficient. All routers only support b / g / n. Sometimes up to 10 devices are connected to the network (phones, tablets, TV sets).
In the near future, however, I would like to set up a second Wi-Fi network in the same house, with its own LTE receiver. The new network would serve to isolate itself from the transfer limits from the rest of the household and increase the capacity of the network itself. I would like to build a Wi-Fi network with a minimum capacity of 1.3 Gbps (preferably around 2 Gbps) and sending the Internet from the LTE receiver.
Why do I care about such network bandwidth? In the near future (the next six months), I plan to expand the ecosystem with NAS, Xbox and a multimedia server (Plex). The whole environment will probably be limited to one room (so 1 TV, 1 console and a maximum of 5-6 mobile devices) at this point, but I would like to be able to flexibly transfer the purchased equipment to the apartment in the future (wired Internet).
Here are the problems I encountered:
- Routers supporting LTE are discounted in terms of price-quality ratio
- Interesting routers (e.g. TP-Link Archer C9, 1.9 Gbps bandwidth) do not support LTE modems (e.g. Huawei E3372)
- Adding support to the router (e.g. TP-Link Archer C7, bandwidth 1.7 Gbps) requires a software change
- Router Router connection (via Ethernet, LAN to WAN cables) requires investing money in an LTE router
Here are the solutions that come to mind:
- Router Router connection (described above)
- Buying an Access Point (or Wi-Fi Repeater), e.g. TP-Link RE580D or TP-Link AC580D (both have 1.9 Gbps bandwidth)
What will I be using the web for:
- Plex server (streaming 1080p videos, 2160p wirelessly, music streaming)
- File transfer from device to NAS and from NAS to device
- Transmission (torrent) client operating on NAS
- Transferring content from various devices to the TV (DLNA, Miracast, AirPlay protocols)
- Downloading games to the console (possibly also playing online games, it depends on the quality of the Internet)
What do I care about:
- Aesthetic preservation of architecture, I would not like to put three different devices with different designs next to each other to get the effect
- Low price, i.e. I would like to close myself in full at PLN 700-800, but with good arguments, I am going to increase the limit to PLN 1000
- High performance and stability of Wi-Fi network (not necessarily the Internet), I would like 4K movie streaming (quality approx. 50 Mbps) not to be interrupted by interference
- Possibility of migration to the apartment (I would not like the most expensive components to lose their use or not be used at all)
- The possibility of expanding the network with additional devices in a wireless (Wi-Fi) and wired (Ethernet) way, so I would like more Ethernet ports
- Not modifying "illegal" hardware, ie changing software and voiding warranty
I would like you to advise me on a solution (not necessarily the equipment, unless you have time to submit proposals) that will (best) solve all problems and meet all requirements. I hope that building such a Wi-Fi network (in my opinion a decent quality router, e.g. TP-Link Archer C9 solves it for these needs) is not a problem, and extending it with LTE Internet reception is not expensive and "ugly to the eye" .
Best wishes,

- and this is just ONE equipment with ONLY 2 AP (you wanted something aesthetic 
).
