Product Overview

What This Product Does

The AC750 Wireless Dual Band 4G LTE Router, Archer MR200, shares the latest generation

4G LTE network with multiple Wi-Fi devices, anywhere you want. It creates simultaneous

dual band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, with speeds up to 300Mbps on 2.4GHz band and 433Mbps

on 5GHz band. Also four Ethernet ports add your wired devices to the 4G LTE network.

802°11ac - The Next Generation of Wi-Fi

TP-LINK’s Archer MR200 comes with the next generation Wi-Fi standard – 802.11ac,

backward compatible with 802.11n and 3 times faster than wireless N speeds. With

higher power efficiency and robust security, 802.11ac is the perfect way to accelerate

a home multimedia network and solve congestion that multiple devices may cause.

750Mbps Concurrent Dual Band - More Bandwidth, Less Interference

With 433Mbps wireless speeds over the crystal clear 5GHz band and 300Mbps over the

2.4GHz band, Archer MR200 offers you the flexibility of two dedicated networks and

ensures amazing wireless performance. Simple tasks such as sending e-mails or web

browsing can be handled by the 2.4GHz band while bandwidth intensive tasks like

online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed by the 5GHz band – all at the

same time.

Broad Wi-Fi Coverage and Targeted Connection

Featuring two fixed external antennas and high power amplifiers, Archer MR200 is able

to boost Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. Advanced Beamforming technology

enables Archer MR200 to focus Wi-Fi signal to connected devices, delivering a more

targeted and highly efficient wireless connection.

Interchangeable LAN/WAN Port - Versatile Connectivity

The Archer MR200 supports 4G LTE or Ethernet WAN connections (EWAN), which allows

users to have the flexibility of different Internet connections among LTE, cable or fiber

modem using its SIM card slot and interchangeable LAN/WAN port. This unique feature

makes it easier when users need to change to fiber or cable services when necessary.

Guest Network

Guest Network Access provides secure Wi-Fi access for guests sharing your home or

office network in a controlled manner without exposing private Wi-Fi access codes or

other personal data.

IPv6 Supported

Archer MR200 supports IPv6, which is the foundation of the next generation of the

Internet and enables a range of new services and improved user experience.
