TP-Link Archer MR202 4G router LTE, SIM slot, Wi-Fi 5 up to 733 Mbit/s

TP-Link Archer MR202 is a 4G router with a built-in LTE modem and a SIM card slot. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 delivers up to 733 Mbit/s in total, and one port can be set as WAN if you use cable internet.

  • Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), up to 300 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz + 433 Mbit/s on 5 GHz
  • Bands and mobile: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz; 4G LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD, 3G DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/UMTS
  • Ports: 4 × RJ-45 10/100 Mbit/s, one of them LAN/WAN
  • Antennas and mesh: 2 external antennas, TP-Link OneMesh
  • Management: web interface and Tether app, parental controls, guest network on both bands

Description

Insert a SIM card and the network is ready

The integrated LTE modem supports both FDD and TDD LTE, which most operators use. The manufacturer quotes 4G download speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s. When the router runs on cable internet through the LAN/WAN port, the 4G connection stays as a backup. With OneMesh-capable TP-Link devices, coverage can be extended under one network name.

Who this 4G router is for

Summer cottages or country houses without a fixed line; homes where 4G is faster than the existing connection; and small offices that need an uninterrupted link. Two bands give newer devices a less crowded 5 GHz network.

Questions & answers

Does the router work with cable internet?

Yes. A cable, fibre or DSL modem can be connected to the LAN/WAN port, and 4G then serves as a backup.

Does Archer MR202 support mesh?

Yes, through TP-Link OneMesh together with compatible TP-Link devices.

How large an area does the Wi-Fi cover?

The manufacturer does not specify range; it depends on walls and where the router is placed.
