      I have been using SG-2100 for 2 to 3 years and works fine and love it. Right now I am using fiber and I wish it came with a sim card slot (out of the box) as a fall back.
      Right now, as a fall back I use a a travel router connected to my phone (hot spot) and then attach the switches to this travel router.

        @netboy ?? It does come with a SIM card slot. You just need to purchase the radio (M.2 LTE Card) and antennas yourself - and install them yourself.

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

          @keyser I am aware you can install the radio....I would like "out of the box" functionality...all one has to do is insert a sim card or better eSim

            It's hard for us to carry something like that as there are a lot of variants required for different markets and low demand. But mostly because the available bandwidth from modems in pfSense is limited by the supported connection types. You can't get much past 50Mbps in most cases.

            But if you want to you can fit a modem in the 2100:

            [23.09.1-RELEASE][admin@2100-2.stevew.lan]/root: usbconfig -d ugen0.2
            ugen0.2: <Sierra Wireless, Incorporated EM7305> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)

              May be a variant to say this is SG-2100+ with eSim or Sim Card for US market with extra cost? I am sure people like me will be willing to pay the extra money for this functionality
