Update #2 17/09/2021:

In the cottage with 70cm thick stone walls, where there is no stable telephone connection, with data on the green network, the performance is as follows:

Huawei E5576 (advertised as Pocket Wifi): Download 30-50mbps, Upload 20 mbps
With TP-Link: Download 120mbps, Upload 18mbps (and if I bring it close to the front door, the Download speed goes up to 150mbps).

I will also try Vodafone at some point and update the evaluation.

---

Update 1/8/2021:

In a spot where the green network's antenna has provided up to 130mbps down/30 up on my mobile, it gave me 150/47 with the router (as shown in the image I uploaded). I am always talking about speedtest, for the maximum speed that the connection can provide.

---

Although I haven't used it much yet, in an area with poor coverage from a green network, I reached 20mbps down/1 up (note that my mobile doesn't even get 3G - sometimes not even 2G, while the MR600 got 4G). I am looking forward to trying it in a location with better signal.

Very easy installation: Screw in the antennas, push the sim card until it clicks, plug it into the power and wait 1-2 minutes for it to turn on. It takes less time to turn on on subsequent occasions.

The WiFi password is located on the bottom of the router. There is no password for management, you create it during the initial connection.

The pros include the signal indicator lights, the guest wifi, the availability of 5GHz WiFi, and many other features it has.

Negatives... Hm... I don't know; maybe the top side is a magnet for fingerprints. If that bothers you, don't get it.

While there is a 4G+ network in the area with a very good signal, the modem only captures less than 50% of the signal and constantly disconnects from the 4G+. As a result, the speeds it achieves are quite low (<20mbps)

  This review is about the network version: v3

  I have had this specific router for almost 2 years because due to the area I live in, there is no other option for internet. The router simply rocks. It consistently gets over 100Mbps at the spot where I have it with 2 bars of signal. I download because I see in the analysis every month 500GB of data for all the household tasks and everything goes smoothly. Stable and problem-free, generally the best! I recommend it without reservation!

  Due to an old installation, I used this specific router for internet via 4G. Personally, the speeds are satisfactory for me and the connection is uninterrupted. I am very satisfied.

  The product is fine if you want to spend €135 like I did.. in the summer I get 20 with a Cosmote SIM, now that it's October I get 60 and at night it goes up to 100.. when I have my laptop connected for YouTube and PlayStation for Call of Duty, the truth is that it lags on both, otherwise for simple use of mobile phones and laptops I think it's worth it.. (I've had it for a month, I'll come back again at Christmas for updates)

  This review is about the network version: v3

  Although I'm still exploring it, as it just arrived yesterday... Of course, I have some experience with tplink since I have two other simple 4g ones... So far, the 4g+ seems to activate only when downloading... In idle mode, it switches back to plain 4g... Also, for uploads, it seems to be plain 4g for the mere 50 it claims....
  Regarding speeds or a specific provider, I won't speak too specifically because it depends on the particular antenna in the area that each person connects to....
  In an area with moderate speeds on 4g, it doesn't give me much more compared to a simple 4g... The difference is more noticeable at night when there is no traffic... Where I used to get 40-45, now I reach 100... Not easily, but I get there...
  And just as a footnote, on my phone in 4g+ with 3 parallel bands, I don't see a big difference.... As mentioned, the specific antenna in the area matters....
  In the menu, you can choose which bands provide better speeds for it to do 4g+, but it doesn't do this for all...
  You need to verify it in advanced mode while downloading to see it refresh to 4g+...
  If you manually select a band, it will use x2...
  If you choose, for example, 7+1 or 7+3, it will use x2.... The 20/28 band, however, doesn't seem to easily use x2 with the others... Although I think I managed to combine 20+1....
  The 5GHz band on wifi is a positive plus...
  The price, however, seems overkill to me.... It should be a click lower.... 120€ is, I think, too much...
  That's it for now...

  This review is about the network version: v3

  For the money, if there is very good 4G mobile network coverage, then you can do your job.

  What I mean: In no case does it reach the speeds of a good mobile modem, such as an iPhone 14.

  If with the mobile you reach 300 megabits, then with the tp-link modem you reach about 100 megabits.

  In general, you get one-third of what a good mobile gets.

  Also, if you connect it with a network cable to the computer, you will get that one-third. Because if you connect it with Wi-Fi, the speed drops significantly.

  Conclusion, it does its job in general and for the money it has, it is good because if we consider a good mobile, it costs 1000€ to have perfect signal. Also, the mobile does not connect with LAN to a computer and also because it costs a lot of money, I would not want to see it "overheating" from the temperature when it plays the role of a "modem".

  I am looking to find a 4G router that has the performance of a mobile but I can't find one. This one here is a best seller and we see it from the reviews because it does its job with relatively normal prices.

  From what I told you, I hope I helped you understand if it suits you or not.

  Remote areas outside Attica or other areas with low 4G coverage, just forget it and get a satellite instead.

  Also, because I examined the possibility of signal enhancement through an external antenna, the solution is quite expensive, you should know. There are antennas but they require installation on the roof and placement on a long pole, and you can understand the hassle and cost of the equipment and the cost of a technician for the installation.

  This review is about the network version: v3

  In my village, with the Cosmote antennas in clear view, it locks at 180 to 220 mbps. No disconnections for a year. Those who complain about low speeds don't know how to set it up on the right bands and find the ideal placement. Additionally, those who compare it to mobile phones are completely clueless, as this locks onto 2 bands simultaneously while mobile phones have more. For those interested in ping, it ranges between 60-80 on European servers. A tip to find the ideal placement: using a compass app on your mobile phone, find the degrees where the antennas are located in an area with fewer walls and place the router there. That's how I achieved 100% signal and -70 dbm

  The modem speed is bad. 4G+ is a lie. You should get 150mbps at least. But I am getting 30 with wifi and with ethernet connection max 50mbps. With my phone, same operator I am getting almost 500mbps in the middle of athens. I would never suggest this router.

  I use it mainly for remote work at my country house. So far, it has been very good and it reaches a distance of 50 meters as long as it is in an area with good signal. At first, it requires a little attention for the initial setup and I also recommend that the SIM card you use has the PIN deactivated (this can be done through the settings of all mobile devices). If the card has a PIN, you will need to enter it in the application from your mobile phone and register it. I did not experience any signal instability whether I was working or just watching a movie, etc. I also had 2 computers, 3 mobile phones, and 1 smart TV connected without any issues. I wish I had bought it earlier!

  By far the best 4G+ router, stable, fast, and with plenty of options, even in difficult areas it has the option for manual band selection. And of course, for flawless results and stability, it requires a little attention to where it will be placed. And the TP-Link tether app for remote management is amazing.

  I didn't expect miracles but where my mobile gets 15 mbps, this one should too. Unfortunately, it doesn't reach that. In an area with mediocre coverage from the already problematic Vodafone, it couldn't provide even a slightly better measurement. The same or even worse. For me, it's not worth the 120 euros, I got the same measurement with a 50 euro router. So pay attention, location matters

  I can say that I am very satisfied.
  It works nonstop and WITHOUT interruptions in a remote area of Chalkida since January (2024). With 2 lines out of the 4 it has as an indication for the signal and the LTE rarely lights up.
  With Cosmote unlimited.

  This review is about the network version: v2

  I have the MR600 for a year now. Very stable.
  My decision to buy the 4+G supported by this model and not just a 4G, even if it's a bit more expensive, was correct. I borrowed the 4G from my son and tried both in the same position. At first, both reached around 40 Mbps, a second later the boost of 4+G kicked in and reached 70 Mbps. The worst measurement I had was 27 Mbps. The best was 98 Mbps.
  One more piece of information: The placement of the device plays a big role. Try it in every room where you can have the best signal. I had up to -60% interference.

  Finally, a router that reaches speeds of 150+ mbps through sim. It's priced around 100€. I thought I had to spend around 300€ for a 5G router since all the 4G ones only reached up to 40mbps. Personally, I get speeds of over 150mbps and have even seen 220. A router from the same company, priced at 60€, with an older Wi-Fi protocol, only reaches 35mbps in the same location

  Within 2 months, it suddenly broke without reason. In the 5-6 steps (literally) away from the router, the WiFi would drop. At first, speeds were 40-55mb/s and 20mb/s in the rooms. I bought a Huawei one and now I get an average of 120 mb/s and 50-60 mb/s in the rooms. I will not choose this company again!

  I have had it for a little over a year with a Cosmote card. In the same spot, the iPhone14 reaches speeds of 70-120mbps, while this one only reaches 15-35mbps. In another house right next to a Cosmote speedbooster that reaches 25-50mbps (only with the sim), this one reaches 10-20mbps. I really wonder about the positive comments and if maybe I am just unlucky and got a faulty model.

  Location: Kato Nevrokopi.

  I inserted the sim, plugged it into the power, and the first thing I did was a speed test.
  95 Download.
  Then, from steam, it consistently reached 110.
  My mobile phone reaches the same or slightly less in the same spot.
  The only setting I made was to change the password on the wifi.

  I had a tenfold improvement in download and upload speeds with a Cosmote sim compared to my mobile phone (which is a Pixel 7 and not some cheap device). The signal is stable and doesn't drop, from the moment of installation (I inserted the sim and turned on the device) until a month later, I haven't experienced any buffering (I can even play online games without lagging).
  There was no possibility of installing a landline in the room where I live up in the mountains, but this device solved my problem.

  Quite reliable and stable in its operation as a 4G router. It needs a little finetuning for finding the best 4G signal position (compared to a mobile phone, it achieves about 70% to 80% of the speed). For the WiFi part, it is better to rely on a more specialized solution (access point or mesh).

  I don't know what you have done wrong, all of you who have written a bad review. In a spot at the countryside where my mobile phone had no signal, the modem with 1 line brings me 6 Mbps, in a high spot with 2 lines close to 17! It's a shame I haven't gotten it for so long! Tested with Cosmote! vs 5.2

  Excellent. The installation is very simple and the speeds are very fast despite not reaching 4G+ at the location it is in. Sometimes the indicator flashes, but the signal is not strong enough to maintain it. Nevertheless, in 1.5 months, it downloaded 400+GB at speeds that no one complained about. I saw up to 6 users connected simultaneously.
