TP-Link 300 Mbps Wireless N 4G LTE Router — Detailed Description

Overview

The TP-Link 300 Mbps Wireless N 4G LTE Router is a compact, easy-to-set-up router designed to bring reliable internet access to homes, small offices, or remote locations where wired broadband is unavailable. It combines a 4G LTE modem with standard router features so you can share a cellular data connection across multiple wired and wireless devices. Its focus is on straightforward deployment, stable connections, and basic networking features at an affordable price point.

Key features (at a glance)

• 4G LTE backup / primary link: Insert a SIM card and the router will connect to cellular networks (LTE/3G) to provide internet without DSL or cable.

• 300 Mbps Wireless N: Delivers up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band — ideal for web browsing, HD video streaming on a couple of devices, and typical smart-home use.

• Multiple connection options: Built-in Ethernet WAN/LAN ports let you attach a wired modem or connect wired devices (PC, smart TV, game console).

• External antennas: Often includes one or two external antennas to improve cellular and Wi-Fi signal strength and stability.

• Guest network support: Create a separate Wi-Fi network for visitors so your main network and devices remain private.

• Compact, wall-mountable design: Small footprint and often mounts to walls — useful in tight spaces or temporary installs.

Performance and coverage

While the router uses 802.11n technology (2.4 GHz), its 300 Mbps theoretical throughput provides adequate speeds for everyday tasks: streaming HD video for 1–2 devices, video calls, online learning, and light gaming. Real-world speeds depend on your mobile operator’s signal strength and network congestion

Ideal use cases

• Rural homes and holiday cabins without wired broadband.

• Pop-up events, kiosks, and market stalls needing temporary internet.

• Small offices or remote workers that require quick failover from fixed broadband to cellular.

• Traveling teams or caravans needing shared Wi-Fi from a local SIM.

Drawbacks to consider

• 2.4 GHz only (no 5 GHz band) limits maximum Wi-Fi throughput and may suffer more interference in congested areas.

• Actual internet speed is limited by cellular service quality and mobile data plan.

• Advanced enterprise features and high user concurrency are typically not supported.
