TP-Link TL-MR100 300Mbps 2.4GHz Wireless N 4G LTE, Wi-Fi N300, Plug and Play, Parental Controls, Guest Network, with Micro SIM Card Slot, WiFi Router, Black

I recently purchased the TP-Link MR-100 4G router, and it has been a great addition to travel internet setup. If you’re looking for a no-frills option to get reliable internet without broadband, this router is a solid pick. What I Like About It: Quick and Easy Setup: Just insert your 4G SIM, plug it in, and you’re ready to go—no technical expertise required. Reliable for Streaming and Browsing: Delivers steady speeds that are great for Netflix, YouTube, and even light gaming. Decent Range: 2.4Ghz - Covers my villa well, even with multiple walls in between. Wired Connectivity: Ethernet ports are a big plus for devices that work better with a stable wired connection. You can choose between 4G & Wireless mode (WAN port is also available) Portable and Lightweight: Perfect for travel or as a backup internet solution. Indian 4G Bands – Key to Better Speeds: The MR-100 supports major Indian LTE bands used by providers like BSNL, Jio, Airtel, and Vi. Here’s a quick breakdown: Example : (Varies by network operator) Band 40 (2300 MHz): Best for high-speed 4G in cities and urban areas. Band 3 (1800 MHz): A versatile band offering a balance of speed and coverage, suitable for semi-urban and rural areas. Band 5 (850 MHz): Perfect for rural areas or places with weak signals due to its excellent range and wall penetration. Pro Tip: For the best speeds, you might need to manually test and lock the router to specific bands. The router automatically switches between bands, but manually tweaking can make a big difference depending on your location and carrier. A Note About Speed Complaints: While researching, I noticed many people in the comments complained about slow speeds, likely because they didn’t understand how to manually tweak the bands. If you’re unfamiliar, look up guides or tutorials to help you configure the bands. It’s not difficult, and it’s definitely worth the effort to get optimal speeds. Final Thoughts: The TP-Link MR-100 is a great 4G router, especially for users who don’t want the hassle of broadband. It’s reliable, portable, and works well once you set it up correctly. Spend some time adjusting the bands for your area, and you’ll see the performance improve significantly. Highly recommended for both primary and backup internet needs! PS : I'm an expert in tweaking routers & setting good configurations. Please do understand how the bands work and network congestions before you start complaining something. Be realistic of urban vs rural internet speeds. Buying a MR-200 or upper models won't resolve the speed issues in your area. If you are having low speeds even after tweaking, it's only due to congestion/unavailability of superior bands in your area.

Good quality device. Easily portable and connectivity is also good WAN coverage is also good and value for money also.

I have tested the router with Airtel 5G sim, Jio 5G sim and VI 5G sim. I observed that there is no problem when you use Airtel or VI 5G sim. The router automatically detect setting and gives you 4G speed as per signal strength in that area. In my case speed of Airtel and VI is excellent in Mumbai. But it is not true with Jio 5G sim.The router gives you wifi signal but without network. Whatever you do you can't use Jio 5G Sim in it. I have never tested Pure Jio 4G sim so I can't say about it. It is not fault of router but problem is with Jio 5G sim. Installation is super easy and coverage is also good. Manufacturing quality is also nice. It is really a value for money product if you are want to use Airtel and VI sim and if there is good signal strength in your area.

For some reason, this router starts showing SIM card error " SIM Card not detected " in just two weeks. The SIM is working find on my phone and the same SIM was working earlier. Tried multiple times and the result is same. I have to find how to repair this now :-( Lost the return window, now I am stuck with this. first time I have this poor experience. Expected basic functionality should be working fine... should be Manufacturing issue. SIIM connector Pin issue.

Working well with vi sim.. range is very good... only 5g is missing

I had to use this as the smaller dongles or mobile hotspot were having trouble catching 4g signal for a sub urban city like Mysore. I had to find a good place to keep this, as the 4g signal was still weak in many parts of the home. :/ Product build quality is acceptable, but I think the antennas could be optimized for such places. Once fixed, it did improve the connection and general browsing was ok, however the conference calls on VoIP calls were occasionally flaky and in games like Battle For Wesnoth the addon downloads used to fail, when checked on forums and discord I was told this was due to flaky connection, which is true as on a broadband connection the addons downloaded just fine. Suitable for general usage, depending on 4g connection and strength youtube will work ok, otherwise except low quality and buffering, I don't expect this will work for heavy downloads though. I gave average rating as I could not reach the support for fixing SMS feature, it claims of this feature, but it did not work for me, UI is good and build quality is acceptable.

I am simply amazed with the performance of this Device. I wish I had not wasted money and time on Optical Fibre based WiFi System, which is a painful experience for over 3 years. Service of Airtel Franchisees are so appalling. Glad I installed this wonder gadget which is working wonderfully in a very remote hill/river valley where mobile signal of Airtel is also very weak. I got a Jio 5G SIM Card and am very pleased. I recommend this gadget/Device to everyone who may be facing problems with other WiFi Systems.

I got this setup with a supplementary data sim using circles life. It worked out of the box without any configuration. Deafult SSID and password were mentioned at the bottom of the router. Plug and play. Would recommend.

Good quality working is good

الجهاز ممتاز ويغطي البيت كامل بقوه اتصال عاليه، تاكد انك تحطه بوسط البيت بالصاله مثلا. العيب انه مايدعم تردد 5Ghz بس 2.5Ghz وبحكم اني ماجربته بدور ثاني. انصح باستخدامه للشقق والبيوت الصغيره. أبداً ماينفع للبيوت الكبيره حكم ان التردد 2.4Hz يتأثر بالجدران والعوائق الاخرى. الخلاصه: 1- سعر مناسب جداً مقارنةً بدعمه لجميع الشرائح السعوديه. 2- جهاز صغير ماياخذ مساحه وغير ملاحظ. 3- يتوفر تطبيق خاص بالهاتف الجوال (Tether) للتحكم وحظر المتصلين بالجهاز (ماتبلش مع النشبه)😉. 4- اهم ميزه: نمط الضيوف بحيث يستخدمونه ضيوفك برمز واسم مختلفين ماتضطر تغير الرمز كل مره.

Un buon prodotto efficente e sempre funzionante,scalda pochissimo..ci sono altri modem che diventano roventi..semplice utilizzo e istallazione rapida...mai avuto problemi dopo anni di utilizzo..lo ricomprerei perché a meno così buono non lo trovi
