I think this router is well worth the money. Personally I bought this to be a fail over for my fibre service as the company I'm with is a small company due to no openreach fibre as of yet. We have had a few outages and that means we have been offline multiple times and the worst was nearly 24hours. We also have lots of WiFi controlled smart devices that don't work without a connection so I have this router setup as a fail over if and when the fibre goes down and the plus side you can take it on holiday or in the car. I'm using the smarty social tariff at £12 a month which uses three network. I have a high end phone which also uses three and where I live signal and speeds are poor at best I get 30mbps on my phone. On the router I have seen spikes of 50mbps but again settles at 30ish unless early hours of the.morning. I have been testing the devices ability over a few days and been switching off our fibre connection so we are completely relying on the 4g. I did this over a few days but longest test was a Saturday where kids were home and watching tablets aswell as me having the TV on and using phones. Now this handles it quite happily and we have over 30 devices online. I could still access my cameras remotely, I experienced no buffering and I was very impressed. I feel like for a small household who doesn't require internet to work from home this would be superb. I have it located upstairs using the internal antennas sort of in the middle of the house and that seemed to be the best combination for a location to have power and access to the loft to get ethernet to main router but also signal and speeds. I can't rate this thing highly enough. I have also ordered a 5v usb to 12v adapter as that will be easier to.plug in at home but also easier to power in the car or from a power bank if we have a power outage. My only complaint is it doesn't have a battery which I could find a single one on the market that provided battery and ethernet. Not the end of the world as I have a jackery power station but just something to bare in mind. The only thing I have noticed is the WiFi strength isn't the greatest with my tablet which doesn't really affect me as my.main router does the distribution but this may just be my tablet being weird. All in all id recommend this, I would also recommend getting the usb supply atleast then you can keep the router power by a power bank or similar and move it round your home to find your best signal location like I did. I will add that I've now purchased a 4g sercomm router from three. They are highly rated and yes it gets good speeds but it is unstable. Sometimes it just won't respond and it struggles with getting a good signal. I wouldn't want to use it for video calls or online gaming. The mercusys on the other hand although slower it just work and never has an issue. The fact that this tiny little router in my opinion beats a very popular highly rated router is beyond Me. I'm in an area where signal isn't great and no 4g+. I feel for like a motorhome or something this would be the perfect router for the job.

Great little 4G router it was super easy to set up and works really well I bought this MERCUSYS 4G router as cancelled my sky for a temporary internet connection, and it’s been brilliant. Just popped in a SIM card and it was up and running in minutes! No setup hassle at all. The 4G speed is solid, even with a few devices connected, and the signal stays strong. I have not used the external antenna ports. The Ethernet port is handy, and I love that you can control everything through the app. Overall, it’s a great value, no-fuss router

For the money it's not a bad little router and it got us up & going, albeit a little slow,I purchased the external antennas and it seems more steady now,just don't expect 5g speeds as it's a 4g router

I bought this when on offer to use as a back up in case my Virgin broadband goes down. I bought a Three data sim from Scancom, popped it in and away it went. Worked straight out of the box! I think they are cheap because they are only single band although advertised as dual band. This is not a problem for me as only used now and then but for those intending to use the item as their main router you may want to think about buying a better quality dual band router. It is very very light and can be knocked over easily so needs to be placed out of the way. I found that I get the best signal in my back bedroom and it works fine. Three is not the best of networks though and signal strength varies enormously. Other networks are much more reliable. I have used it with a Poynting 4G antenna and it makes a real difference to signal strength. I would stress that if using an external antenna the setting has to be changed using the app as otherwise the router will not know it has an antenna attached. The setting also has to be changed if the antenna is removed as otherwise the internal antenna remains disconnected. I found the app to be excellent. Easy to use and well laid out. Overall I can really recommend this item but with the reservation that it is single band only. For the price you cannot really go wrong.

After using the router which I bought as a package with a Smarty SIM (3 network). I was apprehensive. With all of the 3 issues of the 90s, 00s it was a network I have swerved for decades. Seeing this deal, I thought, surely they couldn't be terrible still..wrong! They are still the pits. I actually thought the router was the issue because of the cheap price, but after many many many nights of frustration with ASD children, meltdowns and tears( mine) because I saw the pain and frustration in my child's eyes, I used the sim in my phone. After spending 2 months ( I forgot to cut off the reaccuring) I ended up having to use my phone as a hot spot for the first month is support of the sim for my devices and then fully take my sim out of my phone and put it into the router for the second. Immediate stable connection, all lights on. A bit laggy at times, but a lot better than everything buffering, even watching Now TV, which needs about 8bps to watch was just impossible. The router is fine, just get another sim to use with it. The router itself is small, and easy to connect. The idea of being able to take it everywhere is a game changer, especially if you travel and sometimes the broadband isn't very good.

This router is the perfect choice for anyone wanting a connection boost. It gives me Wi-Fi 6, while my provider’s modem only supports Wi-Fi 5. I connected it behind my modem with a LAN cable and set it up in under 5 minutes using the app. Now I have much more control over the settings. I use Moonlight to stream games from my PC to my laptop or tablet. Before the stream bitrate capped at 15 Mbps before stuttering started. Now I can push it to 95 Mbps with zero stutter!

Buen producto y funciona genial

Der Router hat mehr Wlan Power als eine AVM 4060 Fritz Box. Läuft bei mir seit 3 Monaten sauber auf einer 1 Gbit Glasfaser Verbindung über ein Glasfasermodem! Wer auf Dect verzichten kann, ist damit gut aufgestellt. Für beide Wlan Frequenzen kann eine eigene SSID erstellt werden. Kostet wesentlich weniger als ein ähnliches Produkt von AVM und kann sogar noch mehr!

Not working with my sim however that sim is working with all other devices. Just skip it.

Magnifique routeur wifi. Très puissant. Le wifi 6 impeccable. Et l'application facile à utiliser. En plus c'est du TP link. Je recommande sans problème
