Mobile routers are INCREDIBLY useful and on the face of it, the D-Link DWR-2101 WiFi 6 and 5G Network router is just insane! Whether you are on the commute, on a business trip, on holiday or simply just looking for a much more wire-free internet experience in your home/office, mobile routers have come a LONG way in 2021. Thanks to innovations in network technology and cellular data coverage worldwide, we have reached a point where a lot of these battery-powered portable routers are better than ALOT of desktop-wired routers. However, the majority of these mobile routers always seem to fall a little flat in their execution. Sometimes it is an efficiency issue (designed for battery power = gonna limit consumption), other times it is a connection issue (i.e RJ45 LAN as well as wireless), but in the case of the DLink DWR-2102 Mobile Router, it just seems almost too good to be true. Featuring the latest WiFi 6 (aka 802.11ax or WiFiAX) support for greater than gigabit wireless connectivity, 5G Mobile Data coverage (so 1.6Gb/s or 160MB/s data), physically LAN connectivity, more than half a day battery life and an LCD display - there is ALOT to like. However, where have their compromises fallen? Has this device had to cut corners? And is it as good as it sounds? Let's find out in today's DWR-2101 D-Link Mobile Router Review.

*Notes and Corrections* 6:18 - RUTX50 does not have active PoE, so it cannot power up other devices. RUTX50 has PoE (passive) meaning that other PoE active devices can power up this router through a LAN port 1. 8:52 - GPRS is just for 2G/3G technologies. For 4G / 5G it must be GPS/GNSS support. 12:21 - This Router arrives with 2 years Warranty, not the 18 Months I highlighted 31:35 - Mentioned wrong product name RUTX60 instead of a RUTX50

[@elixier33]

I use this with a ubiquiti setup. Is my main connection for my home and never been happier. Gigabit broadband for a tenor a month with failsafe love it.

[@KasraK]

Serious bit of kit! Thanks for the great video/info mate

[@bigeein]

You have blown my mind with the technical side. But , i think I’ll be getting one for my house. What would really help, is a similar video on what external 5g Ariel receiver to marry this up with. This is a big help for my wifi dead spot home

Thanks for such a thorough and positive review @NASCompares. We couldn't have done it better ourselves! 😊

I agree, nice review but I'm missing out on some details on the actual Mobile functionality, how to admin LTE bands, antennas and the very important fact that it handles real "5G SA"

[@stagman4611]

I’ve been looking for a sim router for a while and pulled the trigger and purchased the rutx50 not just on your recommendation but through other research. Absolutely brilliant router and does what It says on the tin 😂. What I’d like to add is an external antenna to this unit to help increase the signal a bit more. Do you recommend any particular external antenna??

[@TSSC]

I have their TRB500 on my wish list, as an upgrade from RUT240 and RUTX11. Love them … and the firmware release frequency and support forum.

[@peros550]

Did you buy TRB500? Does it perform well? I borrowed a RUTX50, I tested it as a modem. It's a nice one. But I also considering TRB500, because I don't need wifi , and it will be used as bridge to my router.

[@TSSC]

@@peros550 Sure did and use it in bridge mode so that the downstream router gets the public IP. Works as expected.

[@chrisblack3714]

excellant informative vlog. can you help with my question?. If this LTE router has 2x sim slots for fail over, i gather they should be on different networks. As Vodafone and O2 share masts and Three and EE share mast, would you expect to have external LTE antennas (directional ones) pointing to different locations according to network provider. Would the 4x anttenna be able to carrier aggregate to different channels depending on sim selected. I look forward to your response

[@jackg1067]

Thanks for your video. Do you have any references that support VPN in SIM(4G or 5g) Routers?

[@petertailor8545]

Hi! Great review! Can you set the Wifi into Client mode aswell? :) Thanks!

[@eyeregbafredrick127]

great analysis. please what is the function of the gps port and antenna. and how do i use it

[@marcuslejona]

Thx for a great review, would be really nice to see a performance test using 4g and also 5g if you have that in your area. Regarding the dual sim i guess that is only for failover not loadbalancing -right?

[@elixier33]

It's failsafe no load balancing across simxards

[@pekkaleppanen2633]

Been running this beast past month for testing before moving it to production. By far the best experience and stable. I do like their bridging option and binding it to a MAC address etc. Keep up good work!

[@WVMbe]

Also planning to use it on DNA in Finland. Was using ZTE for some time but this thing stalls regularly.

[@andrewchesney]

Great review - I switched to 4G mobile network for my home internet. As I live in rural Lincolnshire BT could only give me 20Mb, I get 60Mb+ using a Huawei B818 and EE unlimited data SIM. Cost for router was circa £200 and EE SIM £18/Mth - RESULT!

[@jaxon9326]

How have you got the ee sim for only £18 a month? when i looked it was £55 a month

[@elixier33]

I live in the middle of London and you would think that I would get an amazing connection but the fastest connection that I can get over BT line in my area is about 6.6 megabits down 512 KB up. If you're lucky we get a little bit faster. Are you the 5G router with EE and 3. I get gigabit broadband on two networks cheaper than I would actual phone line❤. I've been using a mobile broadband connection for 5 years add honestly even when it rains and the connections goes down I would never go back to a landline.

[@spike178]

My virgin slow broadband plus home phone is £43 per month going up to £60 per month in April 2024 so will cancelling rip off virgin. Will buy 5g router and Three sim is only £8 per month broadband unlimited, so the router will pay for itself in a 5 months. Not a heavy user 4g be enough but like 5g when downloading games from Steam.

[@richardsonadesuyi7347]

I'm from Nigeria, I have an RTU 955 and I use MTN SIM CARD with it. I have not really enjoyed the services because it has a very low area coverage though its signal is relatively stable

[@FuHaoHighTech]

Great router products! good quality products🎉🎉🎉❤

I agree with your opinion that it's the best and then even some. Their RMS remote management tool is absolutely bonkers !

[@edwainekyle]

Could you please review the Cudy P5 5G SA/NSA AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 CPE as well?

[@casparharte]

This is amazing for the price. Is there as more basic 5G router with two Antena, for small home use? Because 4G+ home use routers like the Tp-Link AC-1200 are only 120 pounds (allready using this one), but going to 5G is triple or more the cost, seems like there no options. Not interest in moble its for full power home use. Any ideas? Thanks

[@w32parite]

Nice thx for this TOP Video :) can you recommend me a Router (5G NSA) with good reception and Speed for Home use , Plesse ? ;)

[@heuer03]

What about MediaTek t750 5G router, any good, would be nice to have a review on it, many thanks.

[@MrKallemyran]

think you put one of the antennas for mobile on the GPS input?

[@Boards-dont-hit-back]

I have this unit running with a Poynting XPOL-2-5G Antenna and getting great results. Do you think adding a second Poynting XPOL-2-5G Antenna boost the signal yet again?

[@petertailor8545]

Hi! Dumb question, Is it safe to just cut the power when shutting down? Can't find a shutdown button/function :') Thanks.

[@Bayneblade69]

Is there something similar to this but cheaper? I just want a small device/usb stick or something i can pop my 5g verizon sim in for internet. Currently using a laptop with a 5g card and my sim but j want to be able to use other devices so im looking for a modem or 5g card enclosire etc.

We are looking for something for our static caravan, currently have a ee 5g mifi router but it’s 1 bar in the van and 5 bars outside, metal construct, Can this have an aerial which is mounted outside the building? Abs edgy would you recommend?

[@BillyGoatScruff1000]

Hiya man, do you have any suggestions for a 4 or 5g sim router with 4 connections for an antenna thats a bit cheaper than this?

[@Slesamson8]

I'm a Seafarer traveling all over the world by a ship, can you recommend a WiFi Router with Sim Card Slot + e-SIM + 5G + Quad Band. Thanks

[@randyaivaz3356]

Am Told I need A SIM "DATA" Router, want to use for 3 IP Cameras, LAN Connected. I Can Inject my own Power. Can you suggest POE and non POE, also with WiFi with POE and non POE. Appreciate your Time. Supplier suggested a 4G LTE Cell Router W 2X10/100T for $1300. Seems a little high for what I Need. In Florida, want to use Verizon. Thanks. Appreciate you Passing on Your Knowlege of Cell Routers..Don't see a lot of mention of "DATA" Sim Card. Thanks again.

[@robtheplod]

The RUTC50 is out July 2024 - this unit but with WiFi 6!

[@maxastuto]

good morning, I am aware that this router has the "failover" function which is the function when a primary source ceases the connection (ethernet or sim 1) it automatically switches to the other (for example from ethernet to sim 1 or from sim1 to sim 2) . I am aware that it also has the "load balance" function, i.e. with multiple sources connected to the network (e.g. Ethernet, SIM 1 and SIM 2) and multiple connections (e.g. PC, tablet, home automation, video surveillance, etc.) with the load balance the bandwidth coming from the Ethernet is distributed for example to the tablet and video surveillance and that coming from the SIM card(s) instead between home automation and PC). I would like to know if it is equipped with the specific "multiwan" function, i.e. if you connect an Ethernet source to the WAN port at the same time, and 2 SIM cards with related ISPs, it is possible to have the connection from all 3 sources at the same time (or at least from 2 ) to have the total sum of speed and bandwidth on a single connected device (e.g. PC for heavy downloads). Thank you

[@thelegion538]

Is this on Amazone? Where did you get yours?

[@simonsutton5524]

Hi great review. This is a little out of my price range and probbably more than I need. Would you have a recomendation for a mbl sim router sub £200 thats a bit more plug and play. I am on a steel boat so would most likely need the option of an external antenna connection. Its needed for general internet access, gaming / streaming to smart tv. Any advice would be much appreciated.

[@simonsutton5524]

possibly also in the near future for connecting to smart devices such as lighting / cnetral heating control etc

[@slantedlustre404]

Do you know if there's An normal Adsl/Vdsl router with Sim card slot

[@michelleh2672]

Will it work with Verizon SIM? How does it compare to Peplink Max BR1 Pro 5G?

[@KartPhoto-com]

Thank you, by far the best review of the OS, I have a question regarding network shares: does it also support internal FTP, or just the SAMBA protocol ? My aim is to directly upload photos from my professional camera to a share within the RUTX50.

[@danielbarnatt9332]

Been running one of these as the main household router. I'm getting min 300mbps down 60up. Max 450 down 100up. On my previous Huawei device in the same location I was in the 150 down 20 up range. I am guessing this is due to the cat rating? Or just a better modem in there. The config options are amazing. I've setup scheduled firewall rules for parental controls to cut off my kids Mac addresses at bed time. Works a treat. Also the crowd support forum is insanely good and tech support super responsive. If 5g is your only option where you live I would say it's definitely worth the outlay. I'm paying for unlimited 20 quid a month on smarty.

What huawei device were you using before? I’m currently using the 5G CPE pro 2 but thinking to upgrade

Yes I do use a 4x4 mimo and it has improved the connection slightly but I would try with the internal first because my signal was good with that aswell. I wouldnt spend out on externals until you have tried it with internals.

[@GRIFF22]

I like your reviews, but they're missing so much detail. Chipset info, supported bands, level of LTE CAT support, speed tests relative to other routers in the same location. Please ,please ,please can you also include whether these routers have IP Passthrough / Bridge mode. A massive percentage of people already have very capable routers and mesh systems and simply want a product like this to offload the 5g speeds to their home network.

[@TSSC]

Pass through and bridge mode: yes, but that would be buying a router when you possibly need just connectivity. Take a look at Teltonika TRB500.

[@GRIFF22]

@TSSC I think that's why it's important to mention whether or not it has that feature, because many 'modem only' type products have inferior chipsets and or 5G/ LTE CAT support.

[@wardCmusic]

Hi would you recommend this router for my situation which is on a canal boat in Liverpool Marina, I currently use an old ee 2017 4g mobile home router which is ok but does drop the internet periodically. Im finding i am needing much faster internet to upload and download large files regularly which my current setup cant handle. Also is there a compatible external antenna you would recommend to go with this as well. Thanks. (I am finding myself holding back on this because of the lack of wifi6 and future proofing but willing to compromise if it is indeed the best unit for my tasks)

[@markpitman2676]

I have the same requirement, suggested antenna would be Poyntang omni 402. Likewise I’m concerned that this does not have Wi-Fi 6 :( other options of industrial routers are out there with these functions, but the cost can get super high. It is so hard to find a suitable 5G Wi-Fi 6E router with external antenna ports that support 5G and 4G for +/-£500. Any help suggestions appreciated

[@bombassbeefjerky9708]

If you had to pick one which should I pick trb500 or this rut50 ???

[@AltairLT]

It depends what features you really need. Since TBR500 falls under gateway category it has no built-in WiFi and only 1 LAN port. RUTX50 falls under router category which means it has built in WiFi and multiple LAN ports, not to mention dual sim capability.

[@biga.design]

What does having the second sim card do, does it double the speed of the internet?

[@pauliusruginis5264]

The second sim is for backup or if you need to swotch to another sim if you crossing countries for example. Only 1 sim is active at a time
