Technical/Network differences between a 4GEE SIM and a normal EE SIM?

I am going to be travelling around the UK a lot (renovation, checking elderly family member, work).

So I bought a high performance router; the ASUS 4G AC68U 

I don't mind carrying this around with me and I am skeptical about the EE 4GEE routers with latency for gaming - https://www.asus.com/Networking/4G-AC68U/

I am currently testing the router with my own EE SIM and I have noticed the LTE connection drops intermittently.

Is that because EE cannot allocate a persistent IP address for the router and refreshes it?


Is there a reason the 4GEE SIM is more expensive, does it have different networking settings? (static ip allocation)

I have had a look at either these two options:

* EE SIM with 200GB Data - 24mth - £20
* EE 4GEE SIM with 200GB Data - 18mth - £40






Interested to know the details, so I can understand if the router is the issue, or I should buy a 4GEE SIM?
