Thanks everybody for all answers. I checked the dd-wrt wiki page and finally went for the D-Link DWM-222 (there weren't much more options to buy from local retailers).
I have a few questions regarding ModemManager after testing this modem for a while. I managed to connect almost with no manual intervention but 4G doesn't seem to work. First thing, to test 4G I had to use "mmcli -m 0 --set-current-capabilities=lte" and realise it wouldn't connect. Is there any other way to check 4G status? "nmcli c" displayed the connection type as "gsm", but I would expect connection errors in ModemManager's journal or some way to do this using "mmcli". Second, can you help debug why I cannot setup 4G in this particular modem? Thanks again.
