D-Link DWR-M955X Wireless AX1500 4G LTE Router

The D-Link DWR-M955X Wireless AX1500 4G LTE Router is a step up from basic N300 routers, designed for users who want faster speeds, better coverage, and more stable connectivity. It combines 4G LTE SIM-based internet with Wi-Fi 6 (AX1500), making it suitable for both home and small office environments where performance matters.

Wi-Fi 6 AX1500 for Faster Speeds

Unlike older N300 routers, this model supports Wi-Fi 6 dual-band speeds up to 1500 Mbps (300 Mbps on 2.4GHz + 1204 Mbps on 5GHz). This allows smoother streaming, video calls, and multiple users without lag.

4G LTE Backup or Primary Internet

It supports 4G LTE connectivity up to 150 Mbps download, allowing you to use a SIM card for internet access. This is ideal for locations without fibre or as a backup line to keep your business online during outages.

WAN Failover for Reliable Connectivity

A key feature is automatic failover between 4G LTE and wired broadband (WAN). If your primary internet fails, it switches automatically to 4G, ensuring continuous connectivity—useful for SME or critical operations.

Gigabit Ports for Wired Performance

The router includes 3 × Gigabit LAN ports and 1 × WAN/LAN port, allowing high-speed wired connections for desktops, switches, or servers. This makes it more suitable for office setups compared to basic routers.

Stronger Coverage with External Antennas

Equipped with external LTE and WiFi antennas, the DWR-M955X improves signal reception and overall coverage. This helps maintain stable performance even in areas with weaker mobile signal.

Enhanced Security and VPN Support

Security features include WPA3 encryption, NAT firewall, access control, and VPN support, ensuring secure communication for both home and business use.
