Winegard is launching a new indoor router called the Basestation 5G. The price is $799.
The new router isn't actually all that new - it utilizes the same modem and router hardware that is in the ConnecT 5G, released earlier this year, minus the TV antenna, in an indoor enclosure.
While the Basestation 5G shares the same modem and router, it supports many more cellular bands than the ConnecT 5G.
As we suspected with the Connect 5G, the older router internals have a low throughput for cellular connections. The spec sheet for the Basestation 5G says 5G connections are capped at 300 Mbps. While that provides plenty of speed for almost any use case, the old hardware limits the modem's peak performance.
