Description

An outdoor router for better reception

In rural areas the mobile signal inside a house is often weaker than outside. Because the MB118-4G is also made for outdoor use, it can be installed where the 4G signal is stronger, bringing internet into the house over Wi-Fi or an RJ-45 cable. The antenna is internal, so there are no separate rods sticking out of the housing. Wi-Fi runs on the 802.11b/g/n standards, which is enough for browsing, email, video calls and streaming.

Who this 4G router is for

Owners of summer cottages and country houses without cable internet; farms, workshops and warehouses where 4G reception is better outside than inside; and anyone who needs a simple SIM card router plus the option to wire up one computer or TV.
