You cannot take your 5G router anywhere as the coverage is limited and 5G home internet is not available in all areas.
Also 5G routers and 5G home internet is meant to stay in one location and connect to a certain tower and moving it to a different address can result in the 5G router not connecting or even being disconnected.
Some people have reported that they have taken their 5G home internet router with them, such as when truck driving, going camping or RVing etc and it has worked for them, but it could lead to it being disconnected.
If you do move to another address that the 5G home internet is available at you can contact customer service and update your address with them to avoid any issues.
The disadvantages of 5G home internet is that it's not available in all areas, it can have inconsistent speeds, can be slower for upload speeds and sometimes download speeds and there could also be issues for heavy online gaming due to latency.
Another disadvantage of 5G home internet is possible network congestion, due to the cellphone towers having limited capacity when too many users are on the same cell tower and downloading or uploading or streaming, there could be issues of slow downs or possible disconnections from the tower.
The wireless nature of 5G home internet can also result in higher latency or ping when compared to wired connections, making for competitive gaming.
If you do a lot of large video uploads to YouTube then having fiber or faster cable internet would likely be better as the upload speeds of 5G home internet can be slower.
5G is fast enough for home internet for most people, although for some people that do a lot of heavy downloads or heavy uploads or have several devices connected, then fiber would often be much better.
But for the casual user and most people, the 5G internet should be just fine.
I have straight talk 5G home internet and I get around 100 Mbps down and 100 Mbps upload although it can sometimes get faster.
These speeds work just fine for me and I stream YouTube along with doing other tasks and it has not slowed me down.
A 5G router and 5G home internet can replace your current home internet as long you have good 5G service in your area.
5G home internet is a great and viable alternative to many other home internet services, like DSL, cable, satellite internet etc.
Although if you have fiber internet, then 5G home internet would not usually be a good replacement for fiber internet, unless you don't really need all the speeds of fiber internet.
5G internet can sometimes be near as fast as fiber internet, but in some cases the 5G home internet may be slower than fiber internet.
Also if you live in an area where the cellphone towers get congested, then the 5G home internet could have issues with speed and connection.
I had DSL internet previously and switched to Straight Talk 5G home internet and it has been flawless for the last 2 months so far.
I was paying $98.00 per month for my DSL internet and now I pay only $45.00 per month for the 5G home internet and it works great for me.
I stream a few televisions off of the straight talk 5G home internet as well as have my computer going and a few phones also stream from it and it has worked great.
I live in an area that is not very populated, but even in others the 5G home internet can be a great alternative to DSL, cable, satellite internet etc.
I also find that the 5G home internet is much better at staying connected during thunderstorms, rain etc.
When I had DSL internet, the DSL would cut out during heavy rain or thunderstorms, which interrupted my work from home.
Now the 5G home internet stays on and I have not had any issues with it.
The straight talk home internet and many other 5G home internet services don't have any data caps and I use sometimes 1 TB of data a month and it has not been cut off or slowed down.
Although some 5G home internet services may have a data cap, but not all do.
5G home internet service is also not available in all areas, so you will have to check your address to see if it's available in your area.
