TP-Link M7000 4G MiFi Router, Portable Travel wifi Router with SIM Card Slot, Unlocked LTE-Advanced Cat4 Mobile WiFi Hotspot Dongle, 8 hours wireless connection, Caravan wi-fi, High Compatibility

I used this device briefly as my main router as my ISP hadn't yet shipped their own brand router before my internet was upgraded to fibre. I now use it as a reliable access point to extend the range of my network for 4k streaming, light gaming, and general web browsing.Setting this thing up was really simple. I'm pretty knowledgeable with tech, but I don't think I'd have much trouble if I had less experience. To use this with fibre to the property connections, you have to change the router settings to PPPoE and use login details specific to your ISP. (Search for 'PPPoE login BT/Sky/Plusnet/EE...). The web interface is remarkably simple and modern so poses no problems!Once my ISP router arrived, I switched this over to access point mode to reach some dead spots in my flat. Again, really simple to do with one button in the web client. Devices connect seamlessly and quickly. This router has been incredibly reliable, being consistent on delivering 500Mbps speeds.The range is good, but no improvement over the one I have from Plusnet. If you're looking to buy this to extend the range of your WiFi, you won't see much difference if you have anything from the past few years. One minor complaint is the shiny black plastic on top which is a nightmare for dust and scratches. This is, however, a great value for money buy for those looking for an access point, or upgrading anything that caps out at 100Mbps!

I have suffered with WiFi issues since I recently moved into a rented flat. I went with NOW Broadband as my partner was with them living in the same area and had no issues with them.First few days were great with no issues then started to have connection dropouts, losing a bar of WiFi signal leaving the living room where the hub was etc. Phoned NOW 3 times, replaced the hub, sent an engineer out who supposedly replaced a contactor in the box outside, gave me money off my bill to buy a booster, nothing worked.I found this item as it had great reviews. I thought why not. I thought this replaced my NOW hub but it doesn’t. You keep your internet set up the way it is and this item is connected to your hub via an ethernet cable. You then connect your devices to this router and you should get all green lights.Initially I had green lights but no internet connection. I panicked thinking it wasn’t going to work with my WiFi. However on the instructions there is details of a website to troubleshoot and eventually it done a firmware upgrade on my phone for the router which took a few minutes. This is all easy to do so do not worry if you’re not tech minded, either am I.After the firmware upgraded, everything was sorted. I had internet. The next thing was to test if it had improved my speed. My NOW hub was situated in the living room and when lying in bed I would only ever get 2 bars of WiFi on my iPhone and videos would rarely load. After I was connected to the TP router I went through and it did drop to 2 bars but then straight away went back up to 3. I done 2 speed tests (see photo above). The bottom one is connected to the TP router and the top one is connected to the NOW hub. It’s almost double the speed. That’s another thing, because you need both your normal broadband and this router set up, you can just switch between the 2 if you want too.I have the Tether app which again it tells how to install in the instructions and I can now control my devices etc. It’s really easy to use and you can customise your settings to your preference.To conclude I was initially skeptical that this would work with NOW but it did and has improved my connection massively. If you’re thinking about it, just do it.Hope this helps anyone who was confused like I was before buying.

TP-Link Archer BE550I am very impressed by this router. I've been a gamer since the 90's and played a lot of FPS shooter games that require NO packet loss. Well I've never seen everyone of the bullets connect with 0 packet loss.The speed is amazing and the Wi-Fi is also very impressive.The router page on your browser lets you access the menu and all the options you would ever need are here and very well laid out.It may seem a lot of money but for Wi-Fi 7 and the reliability alone its well worth it.Simply instal this router and you shouldn't have any problems with your home network again.

Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. As an experiment I bought this to see if it could replace my very expensive broadband contract with PlusNet that was about to run out. Well, with a Smarty £20 a month unlimited data sim it does! It supports streaming on my three smart TV’s, two i-phones, an ipad and a ring doorbell. It never falters or buffers and is on 24/7 without any problems at all. It needs charging about twice a day mind you. AND I can take it with me wherever I go so I don’t have to use dodgy public wiFi. This could be the future when the Government brings in a WiFi tax to replace the TV license fee!Absolutely perfect. I have cancelled my broadband contract with PlusNet as a result and no regrets.

Signal is rubbish. The router is right next to my smart TV and the apps barely load Netflix, Prime, Youtube all barely work. Kids ipads and phones constantly disconnect when in the same room as the router never mind their bedrooms.I have city fibre over 1gb download had the eero router that came with it and never had connection issues or trouble watching netflix etc but wanted an upgrade and bought this. Expensive mistake

verys versatile router,wifi performance is fantastic.currently using wifi 7.the additional securtiy features are great aswell and i can control it from the tether app.little pricey but well worth it.The admin dashboard is easy to navigate
