Introduction | Based on my recent data from camtravel.xyz, many of you are interested in the practicalities of living in Cambodia. One of the biggest challenges is maintaining a stable connection while moving between places like Phnom Penh and Kampong Kdei. For me, the solution is simple: an industrial 4G router paired with Cellcard.
H2: Stability Over Speed | When I’m uploading 1080p videos or managing the backend of this blog, I don’t need 100Mbps fiber. I need a connection that doesn’t drop. In my latest rural test, Cellcard delivered a steady 14.59 Mbps.
H2: Why Not Just a Phone Hotspot? Phones are great for browsing, but they struggle with heat and multi-device management during long work sessions. My plug-in router handles the tropical heat of Cambodia far better and keeps my computer and phones connected simultaneously without lag.
