Despite living in London, we are in rather a dead spot as regards mobile reception. To add insult to injury, we cannot get fibre broadband and the 'copper' connection we get from BT is slow and unreliable. Indeed, over the new year, we lost BT broadband completely for 3 days until it was eventually fixed. Even now, we still get annoying intermittent drop outs - particularly exasperating when watching sport! Tethering using a mobile is not an option even in an emergency - the signal indoors is too poor. I initially purchased this TP-Link 4G+ LTE MR600 router to give us a backup solution. Given the bad mobile reception, I paired it with an external Poynting XPOL (V2) 4/5G antenna. Set up was easy - I connected the external antenna (in place of the ones provided with the router) using the SMA connectors, popped in a test "3" SIM and everything burst into life! The admin interface via a browser or the TP-Link Tether APP is straightforward and it's easy with a bit of practise to find your way around. It's all rather comprehensive for a router in this price range and there are also lots of settings and useful statistics. Note - if you want to use SIMs from a provider that uses another carriers network [GiffGaff (O2), Smarty ("3"), Tesco (O2) etc], you will need to adjust the APN settings manually. However, it is very straightforward and all providers publish their required settings on the web. The gigabit LAN ports allow us to connect to our home network with a NAS, printers, YouView, Blue-ray box and smart TVs etc. Currently, our BT Hub still acts as our DHCP server - but that will soon change - see below. I purchased a selection of cheaper pre-paid SIMs (EE, 3, O2, GiffGaff, Vodafone, Tesco, Smarty etc) to test out which supplier is best in our area. I had expected EE or Vodafone to be best but O2 / GiffGaff / Tesco were surprising but clear winners - with a solid 4G+ LTE connection (40-40 band), a consistent 75% signal (2 out of 3 bars) and download speeds averaging above 50Mbps (in a range of 28-67 Mbps). Uploads are 4-6Mbps. That result is more than adequate - we can watch streamed football on one TV, Netflix on another and stream internet radio in the kitchen - all simultaneously. We've never been able to do that before! The other good news with O2 is that I can use a GiffGaff SIM - as they run on the same network but are cheaper and contract free. The Tesco Mobile unlimited data options are also interesting (to us)! However, to be fair, performance will depend on location so you will need to test what is best for you. For my part, I am in the process of cancelling our BT Broadband - this 4G+ LTE router solution is so much better and more stable! UPDATE:- After a few days, we started to find that for about an hour at dawn and dusk, the router would suddenly flip to alternative LTE bands with a much lower download rate - which could interrupt streaming football or films - most annoying! We tried an alternative antenna (Poynting XPOL V3 directional, high gain) and while there was an improvement, the problem still happened occasionally. TP-Link support were great. They believe the issue is due to our odd situation with an alternative mast's broadcast reflecting off buildings causing interference particularly around dusk. They sent me a beta firmware that allowed me to set a specific LTE band thus effectively eliminating interference. It works a treat! Indeed, we also got an increase in download speeds and we often see 85 Mbps. The worst case (in busy times) we see is about 35 Mbps. The connection is rock solid. The result is very acceptable - and a big thanks to TP-Link support. It's worth paying a bit more! UPDATE 2:- I have subsequently upgraded to a V2 model as that has manual LTE band selection built in as a default option. This works absolutely fine and negates the requirement to run Beta firmware. Otherwise, the 2 versions are to all intents and purposes, identical. I returned my older V1 device to standard firmware and installed the device in my daughter's new flat (she has no requirement for manual LTE band selection). We are both chuffed!! Read more
