Thank you so much. This has solved my rural Internet issues without having to mess with external antennae.

[handypda]

Thanks for the Cat6 explanation! Cheers mate

[martycrow]

Thanks Gavin. The Cat 6 explanation is useful. I assumed it had to do with a LAN connection. Wonder why more manufacturers make a song and dance about this 'dual band' capability. In any case I thought 'dual band' was something else, but you've explained it clearly.

This router is fantasic i got me few days downsloads between 50mbps in daytime and 100mpbs in nighttime but 4G+ signal is always between 75 and 100 strength there isnt fibre cables near me and i think is good choice to optain that router

[SimonBrown]

Thanks Gavin. Very useful info, I’ve just watched this and your previous mobile broadband video. We’re moving house and going to a rental for a few months and then to a new property. I need the internet for work so this looks like an ideal solution. Thanks again. PS liked and subscribed 👍

Hello there Lucid, I know that this is a very old YouTube video but will this router help with speed even with a crowded tower or network congestion.

[IlariaRossi-vwmf]

Good oven.
Is the Archer MR600 V2 or the Archer MR500 V1 better?
It seems to me that Archer MR500 has a better sensitivity in signal reception... Am I wrong?
Thank you

[brianharris]

Gavin, what speed test software do you recommend?

[shaun]

Great video thank you, I will be using this with a 4g sim but turning off the wifi on the unit itself to use my existing deco mesh network devices fingers crossed!! liked and subscribed

[travelwithpeace]

Thank you for this informative video. I've seen a newer version of this router the MR500. Would you know whether it is better than the MR600?

Also, you note that the cat 6 isn't referring to the cable. But do you recommend using a cat 6 and higher cable to connect this device to a laptop?

I'll appreciate your reply. 🙏

Hi Gavin. That was really helpful. I do have a couple of questions still.
Firstly, when using the wifi network on it, can I permanently turn off the 5GHz band and run on 2.4Ghz only? I understand this will increase congestion and reduce speeds, but 5GHz gives me migraines so slower speeds are preferable to that!
Secondly, will I be able to connect a mesh router to it? It sounds like I will, but just want to be certain. I haven’t yet decided which mesh router I want as I don’t need that until I move, but I’m leaning towards one of the TP-Link Deco options. The TP-Link website doesn’t list the Deco as a compatible product under the OneMesh banner though.
Thirdly, I’ve recently started dabbling in smart home devices. Mostly just lights and power plugs at this stage but I have plans to have lots of fun with it once I move. Is there any reason this might not be suitable for that, or is there a different one I should consider? I will be moving to a rural area so 4G is probably my best bet for internet at this stage.

My old tp 400 got hit by lightning. Now i thinking about buying this tp 600 or the huawei b535.
Do they have the same cat 6 that you are talking about? My issue is that my speeding is changing often between 2 - 25mbit living outside the town. Also have an external antenn on the roof. Doesnt help much.

[marcuschurchill-weqt]

Hi would this work as well using my external aerial. Thanks

[peterk]

Moving house in a weeks time to a park home site where there is no fixed internet available. Just bought the TP Link Archer MR600 yesterday and just got my Smarty sim card today. I have been on the 3 network with my phone for a long time now. While at park home site I ran a speed test on my phone and was getting between 50 and 100 mps downoad speeds. Fingers crossed I get simular when router set up....?

[leetonks]

Do you recommend an external antenna? If so witch one? Thanks.

[samhoward]

thanks for the video. in terms of WiFi does it use WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 ?.
I'm looking to use this just as a normal router and not use the 4G feature
thanks.

[sibonelogift]

Hi my question is SMA cable can fit right if i want to put external antenna like XPOL-1-5G?

[pranavgandhi]

Hi there, If I use a 4G/5G sim card only with the MR600 router, will my download speed be up to 300 Mbps or 150 Mbps? unless I attach a Cat 6 cable? Just so you know, I plan to use it as a sim card router only (without ethernet cables). If 150 Mbps download speed without cat 6 cable still, as might as well get an MR400. Please advise. Thank you.

[bestzimflavors]

Is it possible to use openwrt on the mr600

[philmooney]

Hi, we live in a rural area, we get our internet via microwave with a receiver up on our roof.
Only EE provide any 4g mobile signal and it is very weak, we have a garden room about 50 metres away from the house and higher up the garden, our WiFi won't reach, so I'm trying to find a solution to improve the weak 4g signal. Will a mobile router with an external aerial/receiver mounted as high as possible on the garden room roof with an unlimited data only simcard (£22 per month) help improve things, if so can you recommend a decent cat 6 router.
Cheers
