Description

4G internet where there is no cable

The point of an outdoor router is to mount it where the mobile signal is stronger than indoors, for example on a façade or under the eaves. MR402-Outdoor shares the 4G connection over Wi-Fi on both 2.4 and 5 GHz; AC1200 is the class name for the combined speed of the two bands. Power comes over PoE through the network cable, and the RJ-45 port also lets you connect a wired device.

Who this 4G router is for

Summer cottages, farms or building sites with no cable internet; homeowners whose rooms get weak mobile signal and who want to mount the unit outside; and installers who like running one network cable for both power and data.
