Sim Card routers should be more mobile phone based
A good item but could be improved by a notification light on the front panel for SMS messages, it would also benefit from the ability to plug in a phone handset. TP-Link are great with routers but when dealing with mobile sim card dependant items they are a little lacking in their design from mobile phone makers as in order to use this properly with multiple wireless devices you need a high rate or unlimited data plan and these come with unlimited call and texts that this device makes hard to use on the SMS side and impossible for the call side. Data only plans I have found to be more expensive than plans including voice and SMS. After 1 month of using this I have had good signal strength throughout my house, the colour is great as it needs to be mounted in a window for best mobile reception and being white in sunlight prevents it from getting too hot, the power cable is not long enough for window mounting so have had to find a way to extend it (it was easier to move a mains extension to the plug than extend the power cable). Having to log on the router home page to check for messages is a pain so you can't really use the message side. Mobile broadband is good for singles or those with lower internet (non gamer and no HD streams) but you can't really plan how much data you will need, for example you tube does let you pick different resolutions but does not specify how much data you will need to watch a video. Not many singles and couples really need fibre band-with. As I am using this with an unlimited internet plan that gives me calls and texts unlimited too I have tried to switch to a Motorola FW410 4G (after only 1 month) which did not provide as good a signal throughout the house but was able to use all 3 parts of my plan - calls, texts and internet. unfortunately the hot-spot side of this item packed up after only 5 days of use, it was a hot-spot not a router. This TP-Link router is a good reliable solution for data only with limited SMS function. If calls are required on top (like with my requirement) you may need 2 sims and 2 devices (and 2 accounts/bills), 1 to handle calls and texts (a basic Nokia 105 mobile will do this for around £20 equipment cost) and this router which gives the added bonus of being able to accept add on aerials which can be either indoor or outdoor mounted further improving mobile reception (did not need these and have not tried these, may need after house move). Most people already own a mobile so should not have this issue, the use of a non smartphone is due to battery life, recharge interval and better reception. My circumstances: due to probate (death of the home owner who paid the broadband bill) I will be leaving this house soon, could not justify a 2 year broadband contract and mess around with number changes when I move. This mobile system means I pay less for phone services (no line rental), get the bandwidth I need, have uninterrupted number portability and choice (albeit limited) of my own equipment. Landlines are lv ike TV licences, a thing of the past that you don't need (if you don't use TV) and there are newer alternatives to consider. This way I only have to inform of number change once which with the house move is required anyway.

Amazing, worked first time with easy setup
Fabulous little sim router. Simple to setup and worked first time out of box. I'm very impressed and this has helped me out of a scrape with minimal spend. I'm using a Three data only nano sim.

Good all round 5G router.
I have had this for a couple of weeks to replace a Zytel MC888 Ultra that failed after just over a year so I decided to try a different make. It performs well inside in the very strong signal area I live in giving a download speed of around 400Mb/s and up to 650Mb/s at quiet periods during the night. It is very sensitive to small movements in its position and you can add or lose 50-100Mb/s by moving the router less than a couple of millimetres. Feature wise it has the full range of settings you would expect of a router at this price level and more than the Zytel although things like port forwarding (or virtual servers as TP-Link call it) is of little use behind the CG-NAT used by most 5G providers. I changed the IP Address range to match that of the ZYtel (from the default 192.168.1.xx to 192.168.0,xx to enable it to be just connected to my existing devices without having to change the static IPs I had set in the devices. I have had a couple of issues with the DHCP server allocating dynamic IP addresses that have already been fixed in some devices and causing a conflict and having to switch one device off whilst manually changing the other device’s IP address. There is a setting to program an automatic reboot at regular intervals and I would recommend that this is done once a day, perhaps in the middle of the night when no one is likely to be using the internet as after a few days without a reboot the router it no longer delivers internet although devices can still talk to each other on the local network e.g. I can still access the drives on my Asustor NAS devices that are mapped on my PC and my Alexas still work and I can still give instructions to turn lights on and off etc which means there must be some connection to the internet or the echo devices wouldn’t work at all. But internet speed measured on my PC drops to zero. Rebooting restores it to normal speed and doing this as a precaution once a day appears to prevent loss of internet access. I tried attaching a dual cabled external antenna to the connectors on the router but it actually reduced the speed I was getting and the unit performs best without it. This could be just because I live in a very strong 5G signal area and it may make more of a difference if the signal levels indoors are lower. I switched the wi-fi off as I use four Mercusys mesh devices string my home, all connected via Ethernet. I only use one of the three RJ45 sockets on the rear of the router to connect the main mesh device and then take two cables from the mesh device to two switches and from there to all my devices to three more mesh units set as access points or connect devices by Ethernet. The router appears to handle the 64+ devices connected to the network without any difficult except for the occasional allocation of an IP address I have already allocated as a static address. However, I learned that the router allocates IP addresses in order starting at 2 so if I set the static IP addresses at 100 or more, there is no risk of the DHCP issuing one of the static addresses and this seems to have solved the problem. There are lots of things in the NAT forwarding settings that you can switch off and if you use VOIP you will want to disable the SIP ALG at least as it caused my VOIP phones to cease to work at all. You may also want to disable the RSTP ALG as well although this didn’t make much difference for me. Most of the other settings you are not likely to need to change although it depends exactly how you are going to use it. Overall, I am quite happy with the router. It doesn’t quite get the speed the Zytel did and having to reboot it regularly is a bit of a pain but I would recommend this device if you live in a good 5G signal area and can’t get fibre.

Good little 4G router, shame about the plug.
This little device has made life much easier here in mid Wales. My old internet connection has been getting slower over the last few years despite the advent of fibre. The last mile of copper cable really let the side down and we were luchy to get 2.5MB/s. I decided to go for a 4G router/modem with a Sim card from EE. This TP-Link unit does the job well and links up with the TP-Link Mesh system that serves the house and the litttle Airbnb dome in the garden. I now get about 32MB/s and currently pay EE £20 a month for the privilege. The unit was easy to set up despite the lack of a 3 pin plug on the power supply, they really should fit one on all electrical goods sold for use in the UK, thankfully I had a shaver adaptor. Also I have a clear view to the mobile mast and some people could find that they need an external aerial to get a decent signal.

Este router destaca por su sencillez y estabilidad de conexión. Leer más para ver si te va a servir.... Nuestra Casa Rural: Estamos en una casa que no ofrecen fibra ni ADSL. Tiene buena cobertura 4g y con un iPhone XR (cat 12 para los que entienden) puedo alcanzar bajada de entre 0.2Mbps (nefasto) y 50Mbps (serve para todo, streaming, Netflix, ps4 etc). Pero es muy cambiante e inestable, y estoy hablando de puntos de fuera de la casa. Dentro con paredes de piedra olvídalo. Soluciones por empresas grandes de tlf (Movistar, Orange, Vodafone): Si no hay cobertura fibra ni ADSL ofrecen Internet por 'radio'. Es el mismo que captamos con el móvil 2g,3g,4g etc. emitida por los antenas. Pero nos ofrecen un router especial que admite una tarjeta SIM. Este SIM tiene datos ilimitados y con el router se puede conectar las dispositivos en casa mediante WiFi y/o cable. Movistar me dijó el máximo posible era 20Mbps. Tiene coste de unos €40 mensuales. Decidí investigar alternativas. La solución! Router TP-link y targeta SIM: Al investigar vi que se puede hacer todo por libre. Es decir, compras un buen router 4g como este de TP-link. Tambien contratas una targeta SIM con Gb ilimitadas (entre 30€ y 40€ mensuales). Pones este targeta en el router y desfruta de Internet como si fuera fibra. Por el momento la conexión es estable y rapido con una media de 50gb. Este router (cat 6) se alcanza velocidades mucho mejor con mi iPhone XR. Eso sí, hay que buscar la posición del router donde mejor alcanza la torre 3g/4g. Que SIM elegir? He probado con una tarjeta SIM de O2 (de mi hijo) y muy bien. Estoy esperando una nueva de Yoigo con Gb ilimitadas de 33€ mensuales (tienen cobertura tri banda de Movistar, Orange y el suyo propio). Conociendo las grandes empresas (Movistar, Orange) puede que ellos capan la velocidad (movistar me dijó 20Mbps max) y como intento evitarlas pues he eligido yoigo. Editaré esta sección en cuanto pruebo con Yoigo. En fin. Muy buen router, instalado en segundos y según tu situación una solución muy buena. Puedes viajar con el y si hay cobertura de 3g/4g siempre tendrás Internet!
