TP-Link TL-MR100 300 Mbps Wireless N 4G LTE Router

TP-Link 300 Mbps Wireless N 4G LTE Router (TL-MR100) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The TL-MR100 is the smallest 4G LTE router TP-Link lists for Singapore: 154 × 114 × 36 mm, two Fast Ethernet ports, single-band 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi at 300 Mbps and two detachable external LTE antennas. Fit a micro SIM, plug it in, and a site has a shared internet connection with nothing else installed.

Detachable External LTE Antennas on a Compact Body

TP-Link publishes two detachable external 4G LTE antennas for this model - unusual at this size, and the practical difference from a sealed-antenna unit. The antennas can be angled toward the strongest signal, which in a ground-floor shop or an interior room is often what decides whether the connection is usable.

LTE at Up to 150 Mbps, Across FDD and TDD Bands

TP-Link publishes "download speed up to 150 Mbps" on the LTE connection - the mobile downlink, separate from the 300 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi rate in the product name. Published band support 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 HSPA/UMTS on B1/B5/B8 as 3G fallback. That covers the FDD and TDD bands Singapore operators use. WAN Failover is published, so the router can hold service across a path change.

Micro SIM - Not Nano

This model takes a micro SIM, not a nano SIM: TP-Link's own setup line is "Simply plug in a micro SIM card and power on". No SIM adapters are listed in the box, so if your operator has issued a nano SIM, ask for a micro SIM or an adapter before installation. The sibling TL-MR105 is the nano-SIM model.

Single-Band Wi-Fi Sized for a Small Space

Wi-Fi is IEEE 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 GHz, published at 300 Mbps, with reception sensitivity of 11g 54M -74 dBm, 11n HT20 -71 dBm and 11n HT40 -68 dBm. One 2.4 GHz guest network is supported. Single-band keeps the unit small, cheap and compatible with older devices; where several people need simultaneous high-throughput 5 GHz traffic, a dual-band Archer MR model is the better choice.

Two Ports and Straightforward Local Management

Wired connectivity is one 10/100 Mbps LAN port and one 10/100 Mbps LAN/WAN port, the latter able to take a fixed broadband feed. Management is local and remote, with firmware upgrade, factory default, system log and diagnostic tools published, plus dynamic DNS via DynDNS and NO-IP, ALG, virtual server, port triggering, UPnP and DMZ. One WPS/Reset button covers both functions.

Ideal For

Small Singapore flats, kiosks, market stalls and temporary offices running on a mobile data plan, and low-cost standby internet on a second carrier. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty and GST invoice.
