TP-Link Archer MR400 4G LTE Router Unboxing, Setup & Review Part - 2

I apologise for the mistakes. I have not used the mobile app earlier to set up the router.

[@fancyIOP]

Thank you so so so much, I've ordered this today 03/12/2018 and it's on its way as I type this, I am happy now firmware updates can be done via the mobile app. I am in South Africa and we have the same model. Thanks once again.

[@mrtopeng781]

really loved ur review actually, i was having a problem whether to buy mr200 or mr400...which is better because the spec almost the same but the mr400 almost 2x the price of mr200

[@AshutoshThakur007]

No problem. I am happy that I could be helpful.

[@malsawmdawngliana4625]

Sir I live in a remote area.. we cannot get any signal on our village.. but some place we get little signal from jiofi therefor we can online.. You think this tp link is better than jiofi in our area...

[@AshutoshThakur007]

Yes.

Hi Ashutosh, Its a gr8 video. Can I connect My PC with Ethernet cable using Jio Sim in this device (or Archer MR200) without the broadband / ADSL connectivity?

@Ashutosh Thakur Thank you so much! I'm buying this 4G Router today and couldn't find the MR400 anywhere, It's gonna be the MR200 instead as that's what is available in my local store, I'm so excited :)

Ashutosh Thakur I'm from London, England and I've just bought it and tried it, it works! :D easy to set up, downloaded the app on my iPhone, inserted my sim in, turned on the router and bam all 4 bars and everything showing etc used the Ethernet port I bought separately as red better than the one that came in the box and it's 5 meters long very good quality! Connected it to my PS4 and it is super fast and working flawlessly 😍 I will buy the MR400 afterwards :) I'm very impressed!

[@dasaribalaji591]

Great Video. Thanks. Now that it is almost a year since this product was reviewed, do you recommend any recent and better product?

[@AshutoshThakur007]

Dasari Balaji Still in the market this is the model that is having these features till now. If you want to buy then buy this model. Only difference you will get is the antenna style. I will be reviewing the latest product from TP-Link very soon. In the mean time you can buy this product without any doubt. Because their is no features changes till now.

Hi Ashutosh if I put jio sim in the device... can I able to use jio apps like jio 4g voice call for making calling and viewing text messages?

[@AshutoshThakur007]

This feature is only available on JioFi device. This is a 4G LTE Wifi router only.

[@AlokKumar-tl8dr]

Can you compare TP-Link Archer MR400 and MR200 version and tell your comments? Is it worth spending 1k more for the MR400 version?

[@AshutoshThakur007]

See always the latest model is better than the Old one because companies provide better hardware and software in the latest version. Presently TP Link Archer MR600 is the best.

[@MohitKumar-nh9wy]

Thank you for sharing. Pls suggest me whether I should buy MR200 or MR400. And what is the reason for the same?

Thanks for review this model. can you update the WiFi coverage distance in meters (approximately )?

[@AshutoshThakur007]

Without interference it can send signals upto 50meters in 2.4Ghz. I haven't used 5Ghz for testing yet but it will be less than 2.4Ghz.

[@AshutoshThakur007]

I think not

[@shail3sh893]

I'm interested in this product but I saw lot of negative reviews on amazon that they are having issues after using a month or so, since this video is 3 years old (assuming you are still using it) are you having any connectivity issues/randomly turning off kind of things?

[@AshutoshThakur007]

Yes that is true. That is why I have switched to MR400. Using it since 05 April 2018 no issues till now. Those issues were on MR200 but MR400 & MR600 are stable and advanced than MR200. But if you are planning to buy 4G LTE WiFi Router then I would suggest you to buy the latest model that is MR600. I have made videos of MR600. You can find it in my channel. Why I suggest you MR600 because it is the latest model. Supports CAT6 and has Smart Connect WiFi technology.

[@shail3sh893]

Thank you! I'll check it out.

[@NithinNair]

How stable is the device ?, is it having any issues when running continously powered on and How is the WiFi range ?, I see that it has internal antennas for WiFi

[@AshutoshThakur007]

No issues. Runs very smoothly. Wifi range is good too.

Hello Ashutosh, Its been a really great detailed video. Could you please let me know if this device supports load balancing feature as well...(eg.if i use wan port as primary connection and want sim card to be as backup nd start connection if WAN connection lags or having temporary network connection or vice versa)

The WiFi range that you get is very high and the internet speeds are also equally divided between device since it has WiFi MiMo support.

Sir i am from bbsr also Planing to buy this Please tell me can i use its signal in ground floor if it is placed in 2nd floor

[@AshutoshThakur007]

That depends on the construction of your house. If it has more thick walls then you may face problems. Try the 2.4Ghz signals first if you don’t get signals then you have to buy another WiFi Router which will act as a individual WiFi Router on the ground floor (Mi WiFi Router this is cheap and will do your work.) but it will get the Internet from your TP-Link 4G LTE WiFi Router. Just you have to install a LAN wire between these two. I am from Bhubaneswar too, tell the location I can help you in details. Are in a Flat or Individual house? Also I would suggest you to wait for the newer model coming this Fall TP-Link Archer MR600.

No whenever you change your SIM card to a different network. You have to change the APN settings to use internet. The device cannot select the APN settings automatically when you change the network. This settings can be changed with the mobile application too.

[@archer4321]

This is not at all a stable device. I have been using a Jio Mifi router which is hardwired to my computer when on conference calls. The connection would never drop once but after I put the sim in this router and joined a meeting online, it kept disconnecting. It was very embarrassing in front of the clients and I stopped using this immediately. The 4G back up mode is absolutely useless and will only kick in if your internet is completely out so if your primary internet has poor quality of service (e.g. ping drops) like we have with SITI network in our area, the back up mode is of no use as it does not detect QOS and provide back up when needed. You will be better off with a JIO mifi router for mission critical work. Trust me, there is hardly any difference in the speed although I am just 100 meters from the closest JIO tower. This is fine in an area with no hard wired network connectivity and for basic home usage but don't bank on this for WFH, it will disappoint you.

[@AshutoshThakur007]

Yes. It is true. This device is the old model and doesn't support Jio that well. I always recommend my viewers to buy the latest model which is TP-Link Archer MR600.
