TP-Link TL-MR100P 4G LTE Wi-Fi Router

The TP-Link TL-MR100P is a 4G LTE router that shares a mobile connection over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and can also use fixed broadband through its LAN/WAN port. Its portable format still needs an external power source, so it is suited to travel or backup use where power is available rather than battery-powered use away from outlets.

At a glance

  • Uses a compatible Nano SIM for 4G LTE internet access, with up to 150 Mbps download speed claimed by the listing.
  • Shares the connection over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, with a claimed wireless rate of up to 300 Mbps.
  • Can switch to fixed broadband through the LAN/WAN port when 4G is unavailable.
  • USB-C power input supports a compatible adapter, laptop or power bank, but the router has no built-in battery.
  • Listing claims support for up to 32 connected Wi-Fi devices and includes VPN client and server features.

Pros

  • SIM-based LTE and fixed-broadband router modes offer two ways to provide internet access.
  • USB-C power options can suit travel or temporary setups where an external power source is available.
  • The stated 32-device capacity can accommodate a small group sharing one connection.

Cons

  • No built-in battery, so portable operation depends on an external power source.
  • Single-band Wi-Fi 4 is limited to 2.4GHz rather than dual-band wireless.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about antennas: details specify fixed external antennas, while a feature claim calls them detachable. It also identifies the product as portable but says an external power source is required and there is no built-in battery. Check the selected listing for antenna construction and the supplied power arrangement. The stated 150 Mbps mobile download and 300 Mbps Wi-Fi rates are different link claims, not equivalent internet speeds.

The available evidence contains aggregate ratings only, with no customer-comment summary, so it does not establish specific strengths or complaints. The distribution leans positive but includes lower ratings too. Treat it as a broad satisfaction signal rather than evidence about LTE reception, Wi-Fi performance or portability in a particular setting.

Frequently asked questions

Does the TL-MR100P work without mains power?

It has no built-in battery. The listing says it can be powered by a compatible USB-C adapter, laptop or power bank, so an external power source is needed.

What mobile connection does this router use?

The listing specifies LTE and says to insert a compatible Nano SIM. It claims mobile download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, which depend on the connection available.

Can it use fixed broadband instead of 4G?

The listing says the LAN/WAN port can connect fixed broadband when 4G is unavailable. Confirm the connection mode and port arrangement for the selected listing.

How many devices can connect over Wi-Fi?

The listing claims up to 32 Wi-Fi devices. This is a stated maximum, not a guarantee of a particular speed for each device.
