After one month of use

After a month of use, works very well. installed in Ardeche with external antenna on the chimney. however zero 4G with my tel on the roof, I thought I had only the 3G relay close to home. after a test of orientation towards the relay 4G distant from 5km but with a mountain between me and the relay. reception 25% of the signal see 50% at certain time. the test of correct debit 15Mbt in reception and 7 in emission. better than in grenoble with my box. so yes very happy with my purchase I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working.

Impractical sim housing

After a few weeks of use with insertion/removal of the sim card at the weekend, apart from the fact that the little sticker to put on the card holder is very inconvenient, I now have an inability to detect the sim card. A premature wear? or a false contact?

        top LDLC hotline

        Good evening,
        It's not the product so much as the LDLC hotline that I would like to thank. I couldn't find in the manufacturer's documentation how to switch from fibre to 4G backup automatically in the event of a power cut and the technician went on the net to find a tutorial for me. Fantastic and well done!

        Excellent

        This TP-Link MR600v3 4G/4G+ modem router works perfectly when paired with a Sosh SIM card.
        Don't be surprised by the operation of the 4G+ LED: the firmware is such that it only lights up when there is an actual 4G+ transfer, such as during a speed test or a large file DL.
        The 4G network settings are displayed in the web interface under Advanced Settings > Status > 3G/4G Panel.
        ISP: Orange Internet
        Network type: 4G+ LTE
        Band: 3.7
        SIM card status: SIM card prepared
        Signal strength: 100
        RSRP: -78 dBm
        RSRQ: -12 dB
        SNR: 18.8 dB
        I'm getting around 140 Mbps in DL, which makes a change from ADSL at 2 Mbps.
        Thank you LDLC for specifying "v3" in the reference: we know exactly what we buy...
        Fast delivery, perfect.
        Very pleased.
        Best regards, Bernard.

        Perfect when you're in an isolated area (no fibre or ADSL). But where you do get 4G. Used with an aerial, I can watch Netflix at the cottage! :P

        Very good

        Very well received, clean and well protected packaging, I advise you to take a 4g antenna separately because it does not receive at maximum capacity.

        4G with peace of mind

        I bought a TP-LINK MR600 on the LDLC website. The delivery was fast. The packaging was in keeping with the contents. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The assembly and installation of the device was very easy for me, so everything worked right away.

        In terms of the device itself and its technical capabilities, I noticed that the 4G+ connection was rather spotty. As for the signal strength, 4G or 4G+, it regularly switches between 75% and 100%, even though I am facing the transmitter, at a distance of 1km500, and I have an external 4G antenna. I believe that in these extremely favourable conditions, I should ideally get a 100% signal, which is not the case. That said, there is never a break in reception, and the transmission speed remains stable, even with 4 devices connected simultaneously as is the case at home. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the device as a standalone device, but it's a good idea to use the device as a standalone device, as it's a good idea to use the device as a standalone device.

        Just as I expected

        The 4G+ modem works perfectly well and far outweighs what I used to get when I shared my internet connection. I have no more internet downtime, except when I switch off the modem with a simple button on the back!
        I highly recommend it.

        no problem

        I have no experience of this type of equipment - which I have had to use in the absence of a copper or fibre connection - so all I had to do was open the package, read the few lines of instructions, insert a sim card, plug in an ethernet cable to connect the modem router to my computer and hey presto! everything worked. The interface is actually quite clear.

        Correct services, 4G reception perfectible

        I use this router as an access point to control the heating and surveillance systems of a house, without intensive use of 4G data.
        The configuration is quite simple once the sim card is installed on the router (micro format, not nano, but a small adapter is provided) and the android 'tether' application installed on the smartphone for configuration, including the pin lock of the sim card.
        The wifi range is within the norm, without more, I pick up everywhere in a small house, at a maximum distance of about 10 m. I have no computer equipment in the building, I could not test the performance of Wifi and remained in 2.4 GHz.
        On the other hand, the 4G network being reputedly weak in the neighbourhood, I had to place the router in front of a window and in height, otherwise it cuts (the 2 antennas are obviously used only for Wifi). The price of an amplifier is at least equivalent or higher, I stay on this compromise. The signal quality is then reported as 2 bars out of 4 and the speed test gives me in the best conditions 2.5 Mbps and 18.2 Mbps respectively in upload and download, amply sufficient for my use, it also works for video streaming (valid on Amazon prime and RTBF Auvio). The latency is however significant but not measurable via the Tether application.

        In summary:

        + Basic contract fulfilled: home network via 4G usable
        + Simple configuration but not necessarily well explained
        + Remote router polling via Tethering app and TP-Link cloud - monthly volume and speed information

        - 4G reception can be improved without amplifier (if signal is weak)
        - In case of power failure or reboot, the configuration asks to re-enter the PIN code (I did not check if it was possible to store it in the configuration)
        - Little information on the front of the device, but at this price, you can't ask too much

        This product has just changed our digital life!

        In Guyana on isolated site, with usually 1 poor 4g strip on phone (so no internet) and well now HD stream, internet radio etc... 1,5mbps mini .
        To see on the duration with the humidity.
        I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product to have. Nickel.

        high performance and easy to fit

        I ordered only the V1 version, but to my surprise I received the V2 version. I installed it to compensate for a poor ADSL speed. But I only have a 40GB 4G subscription so when I need to download I disconnect the WAN from my ADSL box and I automatically switch to 4G internet. The Archer is set up as a DHCP router to a switch and as a WIFI terminal and it is in "WIFI router mode" to automatically switch to 4G mode as soon as the ADSL box loses its internet connection.
        Very satisfied.

        Does not work after a few weeks of use

        The product worked at first, but since then it is impossible for it to recognise any sim card, so the product is unusable.
        I've searched all over the English forums, many users have the same problem.

        Perfect to overcome the weaknesses of the AIXBOX ORANGE de Pret

        Following a fibre failure of more than 20 days, I managed to pick up the Orange network in an area where there was no telephone and the airbox was not picking up anything. Excellent equipment which allowed me to continue working.

        Nothing to say about the LDLC service or the product itself

        Very good 4G router, tested during several days with a correct quality of network but without more, the connection was stable and the speeds quite sufficient (100Mb/s downstream and 60Mb/s upstream), and I had not particularly sought to direct the antennas perfectly. I would have put 10/10 if the box had been a little smaller

        Pay attention to the product version

        I received an Archer MR600 V1 and not V2 as indicated in the title.
        Remember to check the specifications of the device before unpacking it (visual and size). The V2 offers some hardware improvements that a V1 will not get via a software update.
        I have contacted the support, waiting for an answer from them.

        Great!

        I got this 4G router to add to my ADSL connection, while allowing me to have a back-up if my operator goes down (it already happened a few days ago!). Very useful to stay connected during those telecommuting hours.
        I was able to test it with a Sosh SIM and a RED SIM: everything works as long as you select the right APN (especially for Sosh). It includes a 4G quota management so that you don't have to go over the limit.

        Excellent material

        Placed on a high window sill with an external remote antenna, it provides maximum bandwidth.

        Supports the surfing of a laptop and three smartphones at the same time.
        The choice of location is very important, the router should be placed upstairs, with its antennas pointing towards the nearest GSM tower.
        Easy configuration but with enough parameters. Read the instructions carefully.

        Suggestion for the LDLC TEAM: Propose small remote self-adhesive antennas to be fixed on the windows, that would be the best of the best (Cfr. A**z*n) ;-)

        I've been using this product for a while now and I'm very happy with the way it's delivered.

        LDLC service at the TOP!

        Following the problem encountered, a short visit to the after-sales service of the Parisian shop was necessary.
        After a test of the material the SAV quickly confirmed the problem and proposed an exchange.
        I took note that it was better to avoid manipulating the sim ... which in my opinion remains a little embarrassing for an alternative use.
        The service is top notch. It's a great service!

        To god weak adsl and hello 4G

        The mr600 is a very good 4G router, I live in Martinique and it's not tomorrow that I'll have fibre. With my adsl connection I had 9mega max (even if I was more between 1 and 6 mega). Now I'm running at 30 meg and I'm considering buying an outdoor antenna because I know I could get about 80 meg (that's what I have with my iphone) because the nearest antenna is less than 2km away.
        The plus with the tplink is that there is an app to manage the router settings which is easy to use.

        Simple to use and works very well.
        It's not enough to get through the house in terms of WIFI power, but it's still very powerful.

        Natively compatible with SFR la carte and with some minor adjustments with Bouygues Telecom and Mobicarte.

        The admin panel is very nice too, I recommend

        easy to install

        Very easy to install, French interface. Used with a micro sim card and 100g 4g package, possibility to follow the data consumption. Immediate signal pick-up in 4g zone. Also tested in 4g+ with speeds of 45mbits without additional antenna. I liked the little link in the interface that allows you to test the speed regularly.

        Excellent product!

        Received in 48 hours. I'm very pleased with this product, it's a great product, it's completely in line with what I expected as I live in an area not eligible for fibre and no PSTN installation. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price of the product. The only drawback is the trapdoor to put the SIM and maintain it by a sticky film, it's really not terrible, it's bad!

        Very promising, but what a disappointment

        I bought this router as a pre-order when it was released, following positive tests found on the internet.
        I used it in aggregation B3 B7 at Free at 800m from the antenna without obstacles for information.

        Since the launch, I have had regular connection problems:
        - Network blows up, 5 minutes to reconnect
        - Inexplicable random slowness
        - No more than 3 bars out of 5 on the signal level when he sees the 4G antenna through the window.
        - Connection bug with network registration error that can only be resolved by forcing a 4G on/off a few times in the interface or by rebooting.

        Speeds have never exceeded 100MB over several months of use (at off-peak times of course, it's 4G)

        I attributed these inconveniences to the Free 4G network and my 4G antenna, which is not fibre-connected but connected by microwave.

        I replaced this box recently on a whim after desperately going to the manufacturer's website to see if a firmware update was available (the answer is no, the latest firmware is the original one)

        With my new router (Huawei B715s-23c), this is what I get:
        - Ultra stable connection, never need to reboot the router or reactivate 4G
        - 5 out of 5 bars on signal level.
        - I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to keep it up to date with the latest technology.
        - Real configuration options, TP-Link was really restrictive on the options available

        This router is rated 10/10 on other reviews at the time of writing, but in my case I could just about handle it in personal use, but with telecommuting I replaced it after a week of desperation.

        From 0.7 Mb to 20Mb. Fantastic

        For years I have had a poor ADSL link between 0.7 and 1Mb. The installation of a 4G tower has allowed me to test this router. My phone gives 4Mb not stable. With the MR600 it's between 16 and 20Mb and very stable once the rabbit ears are well oriented. It works perfectly with a 4G sosh package, the tower being Orange. I am very satisfied with this purchase which allows me to telework serenely. Installation in 3 minutes, this router is great. I had cobbled together a router with a 4G key and a raspberry, nothing to see in terms of signal quality. Buy with your eyes closed

        Very good
        Does its job well
        It's a pity that when you remove the sim card (even when it's switched off) you have to do a hard reset, put the factory configuration back and start the whole installation process again.
        Otherwise: very good 4G wifi router

        good value for money

        This router has a very good 4G+ reception. I use this router with a FREE SIM (limited to 100GB) and with an antenna on the roof. The speed has nothing to do with the 4GBox of Bouygues

        very good product

        Very good product I use it every day to play as my ADSL connection is very bad. "with an external antenna the connection is better".

        Excellent product!

        I've been using this phone for a while now and I'm very pleased with the quality of the service and the quality of the product.
        The phone is very easy to use, the configuration is very simple, the sim card adapter is included, the performance is good, nothing to complain about...

        Impec

        This router works well, has good network reception and above all is very easy to configure.
        I'm still on a 9/10 because it has only been in use for 1 month. I'll see with time.

        Great product

        Great product, easy to install.
        The support of the 700MHZ frequency and the category 6 which takes advantage of the aggregation of the 4G and 3G frequencies allows to have very high speed. I live in an "isolated" area where ADSL is very slow (1MB/s), I now have more than 15MB/s download with a Sosh sim.

        The menu is very intuitive. The advanced part offers very complete configuration options (DNS, VPN, NAT, Parental Control, ...).

        I don't put 10/10 because I had several times problems with the limit of data consumption which bugged 2/3 times preventing me from accessing the Internet. I fixed the problem by programming a reboot of the router every night

        Perfect for my use on a boat

        The 12V power supply allows it to be powered from the batteries through a voltage regulator. Great to have internet directly on the ship's network. I only regret that there is no button to stop/start the LTE modem. When I want to keep the router and not consume any 4g data, I remove the sim card. It would have been great to have a small switch like for WiFi. Great stuff otherwise. I haven't found another one at a decent price with 5g WiFi, gigabit ports and 4g+ modem. It does all this for a very decent price in my opinion. I recommend it.

        After one month of use

        After a month of use, works very well. installed in Ardeche with external antenna on the chimney. however zero 4G with my tel on the roof, I thought I had only the 3G relay close to home. after a test of orientation towards the relay 4G distant from 5km but with a mountain between me and the relay. reception 25% of the signal see 50% at certain time. the test of correct debit 15Mbt in reception and 7 in emission. better than in grenoble with my box. so yes very happy with my purchase
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working.

        does its job well

        very easy to install.
        I've tested it with a sim from the same operator (bouygues...which remains the reference in terms of stability and speed in areas where ADSL is poor) and compared it with a HUAWEI 525s-65 which does not have an external antenna, the huawei remains better in terms of speed.

        works perfectly

        Hello

        I have just installed it. very simple to do. put the antennas, insert the sim card, then connect. after the startup phase put the IP address 192.168.1.1.
        I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time.
        I'm very happy with it so far.
