TP-Link TL-MR3040 N150 Portable 3G/4G Wireless Router

The TP-Link TL-MR3040 is a pocket-sized wireless router built for users who need internet connectivity while traveling or in locations without fixed broadband. Its defining feature is the internal 2000mAh rechargeable battery, which allows the router to operate independently of a power outlet — a significant advantage in airports, hotel rooms, outdoor events, or temporary workspaces. By plugging a compatible 3G USB modem into the router's USB 2.0 port, you can share a mobile data connection with multiple Wi-Fi-enabled devices simultaneously at speeds up to 150Mbps.

The router's four operating modes add versatility beyond simple 3G sharing. In Travel Router (AP) mode, you can connect to a hotel room's wired ethernet port and broadcast it as a private Wi-Fi network, eliminating the need to trust public wireless networks. WISP Client Router mode lets you connect to a wireless hotspot and redistribute the connection to your own devices with added security. The built-in IP-based bandwidth control gives administrators the ability to allocate bandwidth per device, ensuring fair usage when multiple people are connected. At just 100 x 62 x 16mm and 94 grams, the TL-MR3040 is small enough to carry in a jacket pocket, and its Micro USB charging port means any standard phone charger or power bank can keep it running.
