  • Band: single, 2.4 GHz
  • Mobile: Micro SIM slot, 4G LTE up to 150 Mbit/s down and 50 Mbit/s up, 3G
  • Ports: 4 × RJ-45 Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s), one also works as WAN
  • Antennas: 2 external
  • Other: VPN (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec), guest network, 9 V adapter included, 0.4 kg

Description

Two connections in case one drops

TL-MR150 works both as a 4G router and as a regular router: connect a cable, fibre or DSL modem to the WAN/LAN port and keep the mobile network as a backup. LTE bands 800, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2300, 2500 and 2600 MHz plus 3G bands 900 and 2100 MHz let it work on networks of operators that use these frequencies. Signal amplifiers and two external antennas help keep the link stable.

Who this 4G router is for

Homes or summer houses that cable internet does not reach; small offices where mobile data is the main line or the backup; and anyone who wants to plug wired devices such as a TV or computer into one of the four LAN ports. At 202 × 141 × 33.6 mm the router fits on a shelf or a desk.
