I have my worker in an area where the dsl Internet is very poor and bad, the fiber optic superhyper expensive and the satellite well not to mention...
We only have the 4g and 3g option from the cell phone company.
I thought if using an Archer C7 (I still do not know what version) and connect it an lte router for connection 5g 4g and 3g work connecting it to the USB router with ddwrt to share the connection with 4 devices...

We need all the details. Which LTE router and you need to be a little more precise in what you wish to accomplish. Are you connecting LTE modem or router via USB to the C7 or via ethernet? _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

For now it is only a possibility and my idea is to see the feasibility of doing it.
In the area in question, only the 3G network works, so there are 2 possible solutions:
The 1st solution is that the company gives me a 3/4G router with ethernet ports like this https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Alcatel-desbloqueado-Multibam-usuarios-HH41NH-2BTGMXA-1/dp/B07RNDJFXN ... its kind of easy because its a simple connection to the WAN port in a router type wr940n or better with ddwrt only to share WIFI and the use of a QoS... there is no problem with that.
The total cost is $ 227

From what I have been reading and understanding I believe that the solution 1 will be the best...
the cost is high but if there were need, I could place an external antenna for 3/4g lte

QoS on router side works rather less in wireless networks like 3g/4g
this is a shared medium with variable bitrates
and this is rather suboptimal for shapers because you can't set the required buffer reserve properly
this works much better with relatively static connections like DSL/G.fast/FFTH or DOCSIS
mmm I wanted it to put the htb fq_codel to handle the bufferbloat of the network ... but if it doesn't work then I don't think a router with ddwrt would be needed to handle those packets and simply with the company's 3/4g router to share the wifi should work
dont you think? _________________ Fiber Modem/Router: ZTE-ZXHN F670L ►►►►►► Internet 1

I think that you can save the additional router if you only want to buy it for QoS.
I think you will not get a working QoS with dd-wrt.
The only possibility would be possible simple Cake with OpenWrt with auto-ingress or the unlimited option (not said that it works properly).
auto-ingress makes a lot of nonsense for me
