Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1
Overview of the Router
TP-LINK understands the need for sharing the 3G/4G connection locally that benefits our end
users. We realize the convenience with our latest wireless N 3G/4G Routers ----- they give you
the freedom to quickly set up a stable and high speed wireless network, up to 150Mbps,
on-the-go and share a 3G/4G connection. By connecting a LTE/HSPA/UMTS/EVDO USB Card
to the Router, a Wi-Fi hotspot is instantly established allowing users to share a Internet
connection anywhere 3G/4G coverage is available. So whether you’re on the train, camping, or
at a construction site, you’ll have a reliable wireless connection to accommodate your
networking needs.
The TL-MR3220 3G/4G Wireless N Router provides 3G/4G and WAN (xDSL, static IP, or
dynamic IP) two kinds of broadband connections to get on the Internet, you can via the Internet
no matter at home or outside on business. Automatic 3G/4G and WAN failover feature just
provide nonstop internet connection.
TP-LINK 3G/4G Router provides up to 150Mbps, faster than that of traditional 11g products,
surpasses 11G performance enabling the use of high bandwidth-consuming applications such
as HD Videos.
With just pressing on the 'WPS' button, the Router automatically establishes a WPA2 secure
connection for solid security in under a minute.
QoS acts as a “bandwidth manager” to ensure that those programs that are sensitive to lag are
given as much bandwidth as possible to avoid lag. This feature makes an impression
immensely when users are streaming video or music and especially when playing online games
where lag often means “Game Over”.
