TP-Link TL-MR100 300 Mbps 4G Router

Nothing Special. If you already have a specific 4G hotspot belonging to Jio, Airtel or idea, just stick with it. They work much better than this router for now. Firmware on this router needs to be improved a lot to fix compatibility and connectivity issues.\n\nOne benefit that this router offers though are detachable antennas. which can be placed someplace open (like rooftop) using extension cables.\n\nYou won’t notice any significant difference unless you’re using a directional antenna with a signal booster which ofcourse is going to be an expensive affair.\n\nI would just stick with the 4G hotspot provided by Airtel, Jio or Idea for now.

Not up to the mark as a 4G sim router. Don’t expect speed greater than or even equal to your phone…\nIf you’re planning to use this as a sim based router then i recommend go with some other option even jio/airtel datacards will provide you better speed…\n\nAlso sometimes my wifi automatically got disconnected…not sure this is a manufacturing issue or just happened with me…\n\nOn the plus side…the hotspot range is very good and can able to connect more than 50+ devices\n\nI ve purchased this router after lots of research on Google and YouTube but surprisingly no one had mentioned the cons that’s why i m summing up my experience here… this might save your time and efforts

OUTSTANDING. When computer is not on metered connection, max speed on Vodafone 4g is 85Mbps(download) and 45Mbps(upload) in our locality. Max speed on Vodafone 3g is 25 Mbps (download) and 9Mbps(upload).I did not test any other sim card. I use it as a wireless 4g LTE broadband.\nRemember You need proper installation of this router. Basically I use it for YouTube video uploading, online class and streaming(1080p ,60Hz). Speed is reliable and stable. Some people are facing problem of detecting tower ( you need to switch it from 4g to3g). Sometimes in extremely bad weather it can not operate properly in 4g mode. You need to switch it from 4g to 3g mode for better operation in such bad condition. So, it is common for all type of networks including wired broadband. According to me go for it, if network in your locality is medium or strong.

Pros:\n1. Quality\n2. Features like band lock, wifi schedule on off, even lights can control.\n3. Nice design,very light and clean.\n4. Strong WiFi signal.\n5. Stable 4G connection but same signal strength compare to JioFi.\n6. Plug and play, one time configuration required.\n7. Detachable antenna. So I’m using external antenna and feeling better. \n\nCons:\n1. High price.\n2. Same signal strength.\n3. Web user interface navigation is very bad and asking password every 1 minute.\n4. Need technical knowledge or Access point details or people will struggle at initial stage.\n5. 9v adapter, if it’s 5 volt better.\n6. Can not access anything without log in even signal or status, this is irritating when try to check signal strength. Each time need to log in then go to advanced menu then status.\n7. Very difficult to navigate in mobile.\n\nIt’s not dual band WiFi but have 20 and 40 MHz. Not 5 GHz. While receiving it has configured wifi and log password. So needs to reset at first time. And also you have to create profile for connect internet at first time. \nRecommended if you need to install external antenna and have signals only in outdoor or terrace, otherwise go with operator dongle. Tested Jio working fine, Airtel normal due to low signal in my area, BSNL normal due to weak signal. For rural lock bank 5 in jio, so you can get stable net without disconnect. Most important if you enable guest WiFi then WiFi disconnect frequently, same thing while band changing.\nAnd one antenna is not working the one near by power input only working. If we use only one the another one not working. Tested in many ways. If u use only the antenna not near by power input won’t work and no response from router. But if you use only one antenna near by power input router working perfectly.\nupdate: Lock Band under advanced menu, internet, so it wont disconnect wifi frequently.

Good but there is a catch\n\nYou can very well use this if you can find a good spot in your home where your sim card that you will be inserting into it will get good level of cellular signal. Unlike mobile phones its signal gathering procedure is different, i am saying this because my house has 2 floors and i live on the second. In my second floor room i get decent speed on mobile internet but when i setup the router there it almost got no signal, i was shocked then i came to ground floor and setup the router it it was a surprise too, there i got three bars of signal. At the second floor you dont get signal but on the ground floor you get great signal and even on bsnl 3g simcard which is what i am using i can stream 2k quality video after a few seconds of initial buffering.\n\n\nSo the point is,\n\n1. Super easy to setup.\n2. Just 5 mins to do the setup all you have to do is to enter the IP address and change some password and give accept to some conditions and there you go.\n3. It can also be used as your router for broadband.\n\nJust be carefull with handling it, cause it is very light weight might break and dont use it continously for long time it would just heat up.\n\nGive it a break every now and then.\n\n\nSo thats all a smart buy for me and i wish this feedback would help you to make a good descision.
