I'm looking for a router for a relatively remote location where the signal is there, but not so strong. Salt would be best. But I don't actually need such high data rates. Is it still worth taking a slightly more expensive router like this one (with external antenna connection) or can I just as well take a cheaper product (data rate up to 150Mb)?
It's definitely better to pay a little more. I had the previous smaller model and had difficulties.
It all depends on whether you need a portable modem router with battery or without.
This one is already an old model that can only support max 3G-4G-4G+ "LTE".
I advise you the new generation compatible 4G-5G

My Hawk is not being used. I later bought a Huawei for under €200 with the two antenna connections with directional antennas you mentioned and put it into operation. I get 12MB/s with it. Enough for watching TV/films. That's all I can manage here in Piedmont on the edge of a small village. Works quite reliably. Only in very heavy rain can the connection be interrupted. Good luck!
