I currently have an Asus 4G-N16 router on our little boat in France,
it has a free.fr SIM in it and works pretty well.

However it doesn't do IPV6. Everything on the web (and Asus support)
tries to tell me that it can do IPV6 but it simply doesn't have the
IPV6 configuration tab that everyone says it ought to have. I suspect
this is 'AI confusion', searching for 'IPV6 on Asus 4G-N16' always
brings up the same, boring, Asus FAQ which is generic for all Asus
routers.

So, I'm looking for a reasonably inexpensive 4G (or ideally 5G but I
think it will be too expensive) router that **definitely** can provide
IPV6 support. All free.fr SIMs have IPV6 support so it should be
easy!

I don't need anything with loads of bandwidth, it's mostly just
supporting ssh connections.

Moving to IPV6 will make connecting **to** the Raspberry Pi on the
boat a whole lot easier.

Have you looked at Raspberry Pi Connect? No need for IPv6

Maybe something from Teltonica?

My general gripe about such things - although it probably doesn't affect
you on your boat - is that the 4G/5G antenna is integrated within the
router. This is a real pain where the router must be within your
property but the signal is so poor that the antenna must be on the roof,
or higher - up a mast. So all the products I've seen have to be
installed in a waterproof box on the roof! A real problem if you want
to swap the SIM!

What's needed is a 3G/4G/5G transceiver plus antenna which uses Ethernet
and PoE all in a waterproof housing and can be installed at the top of a
mast, coupled with a router which takes the SIM and provides PoE out of
the relevant WAN port.

Teltonika routers, at least mine, has an RF connector for the antenna
input. My installation has an external antenna and the router inside.
