Is the Cradlepoint R1900 5G Router good for streaming?
The Cradlepoint R1900 5G Router is a connection for streaming builds, tracked at $2,195.65. On its own it supports up to 4K60, which needs about 20,000 kbps on the wire. Its 12-month tracked average is $2,196 across 6 points. Nothing here is lab-tested by us; that ceiling is a planning budget from our published model.
