TP-Link M7000 4G LTE Mobile Wi-Fi

TP-Link 4G LTE Mobile Wi-Fi (M7000) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The M7000 is TP-Link's entry 4G LTE Mobile Wi-Fi: a pocket hotspot that turns a data SIM into a private 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network shared with up to 10 wireless devices. It runs on its own 2000 mAh battery, needs no setup beyond inserting the SIM, and is the simplest way to give a laptop, tablet or phone a connection where there is no fixed line.

150 Mbps Down, 50 Mbps Up on 4G LTE

TP-Link rates the M7000's mobile connection at DL: 150 Mbps, UL: 50 Mbps. That 150 Mbps is the 4G downlink ceiling, and it is a different number from the 300 Mbps Wi-Fi rate quoted lower down: the Wi-Fi figure describes the link between the hotspot and your own devices, not the speed you get from the mobile network. Coverage is FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20 (2100/1800/850/2600/900/800 MHz) and TDD-LTE B38/B40/B41 (2600/2300/2500 MHz), with 3G HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS on B1/B5/B8 (2100/850/900 MHz) as fallback.

Up to 8 Hours on a 2000 mAh Battery

Power comes from an internal 2000 mAh rechargeable battery, which TP-Link rates for up to 8 hours of wireless connectivity. Battery life may vary in accordance with environmental conditions. The 2000 mAh battery is listed as a separate item in the box, and an external 5V/1A supply connects over the single micro USB port, so the unit can run from a powered USB source while it is in use.

N300 Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz Only

The wireless side is IEEE 802.11b/g/n at up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz only. There is no 5 GHz radio, which is the trade for the size and the price. Reception sensitivity runs from -87.5dBm at 11b 11Mbps to -68dBm at 11n HT40 MCS7, and transmission power is rated at <20dBm. Security covers WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, wireless MAC filtering and an option to disable SSID broadcast, and a DHCP server, client and client list run on the device itself.

LED Status, tpMiFi and USB Tethering

Rather than a screen, the M7000 uses LED indicators for Wi-Fi status, Internet connection status and battery status. Day-to-day settings such as SSID and password, data allowance and connected clients are handled from TP-Link's tpMiFi app or the web interface. RNDIS is supported for tethering over the USB cable, with a stated system requirement of Windows XP/7/8/10. The unit measures 94 x 56.7 x 19.8 mm, carries a power button and a reset button, and uses internal antennas.

Before You Order: SIM Tray and Bands

The M7000 has one SIM card slot and one micro USB port for power. Check the tray on the unit you receive before you cut or order a SIM. Carrier band support determines real-world performance, so check your provider's LTE bands against the FDD and TDD frequencies quoted above before you buy.

Ideal For

Singapore buyers who need a spare connection that fits in a pocket: contractors and site staff, pop-up counters and events, travellers running a local data SIM, and offices keeping a backup link for when the fixed line goes down. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice.
