Only at the moment when it broke down and only had a few Mbs of power left and I was able to exchange it within the warranty period. But otherwise it has been running for 5-6 years and has been a faithful servant.
These are V2 models, V1 were still available a few years ago, but they have been replaced by V2 versions. V1s are only available second-hand (I once owned a V1 that I sold to a colleague).
According to tech. Data sheet up to 64 devices. From my own experience with training courses, I can say that the router can cope well with 25 devices with the appropriate bandwidth.
Yes, you can switch off the Wi-Fi.
The device does not have a battery as far as I know. I have my device plugged into the mains with the power adapter that came with it.
The Archer MR600 does not support WISP mode or Wifi offload mode. However, there are three available operating modes: 3G/4G router mode, wireless router mode and access point mode.
Yes, the router supports the Poynting XPOL-2-5G-01 antenna, as long as it is compatible with the device's SMA connectors and two 2x2 MIMO antennas are used simultaneously.
Hello, I use it to control my Swiss chalet. For Italy you need an international data subscription and you will have 4G speed depending on the quality you have.
The MR 600 can operate the WLAN in mesh mode. If your TL WA901N can also do this, then I would recommend that you try it. Mesh mode then automatically sets your receiver (mobile etc.) to the best transmitter
Hello, it seems to me that the firmware version is not the latest.
Start by checking this point.

You may need to update the settings for US operators.
You can find more information on the site.
If you're using a camper van or caravan, it's best to add an external aerial as the walls of the vehicle prevent the best reception.
You need an aerial with 2 cables and pay attention to the type of connectors.
This could work if the camera is accessible via the cloud. That is, if the camera saves its image in an Eufy Cloud.
In the mobile network, you usually only have private IP addresses, which cannot be reached from outside. It works differently than with the fixed network. Port releases etc. do not work.
However, I give no guarantee that it really works ;-)
I had this device in use for about 1 year and was able to reach a maximum of 45 Mbit/s via the SIM card, but only 15 to 20 Mbit/s. I would therefore not recommend the device. The biggest difference between the MR400 and MR600, the MR400 can only do 100Mbit LAN and only 150 Mbit/s LTE download speed. The MR600 can do Gbit Ethernet and a maximum of 300 Mbit/s download speed. The MR200 is actually nothing, it has totally outdated WLAN in it. The MR600 and MR400 have the same WLAN, but it's very poor. I couldn't even get from the living room to the bedroom, which is about 7m.
I wouldn't recommend either of these devices, in the meantime I'm using a device that can do both very well WLAN and also LTE download. Set up in the same place I now get a download rate of over 200Mbit and the router from Netgear can even download a maximum of 1.2 Gbit (it has Cat.16, an Archer MR600 has a maximum of Cat.6). Sure, it costs more, but in return you get incredibly good Wi-Fi and absolutely flawless download speeds via LTE:
Netgear Orbi 4G LTE WiFi
The device is more expensive, that's true, but in return you have hardware that can really do something. And the WLAN of the Orbi LTE could also be expanded.
Yes, you can use the Archer MR600 as a backup router if your primary router fails. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- Mobile Internet: The Archer MR600 supports 4G+ Cat6 and can operate with a Nano SIM card, which allows you to use mobile internet without having to be at home.
- Wi-Fi router mode: You can also operate the Archer MR600 in Wi-Fi router mode by plugging an Ethernet cable into the LAN/WAN port if you do not have a 4G connection. However, this is not necessary if you want to use it as a backup for mobile Internet.
- SSID and password: You can configure the Archer MR600 to use the same SSID (network name) and password as your primary router. This can be set via the Tether app or the router's web interface.
- TP-Link OneMesh: If you already have a TP-Link OneMesh network, the Archer MR600 can also work with other OneMesh products to create a consistent and seamless network.
Through these functions, you can easily use the Archer MR600 as a backup router that uses the same name and password as your primary router without having to be at home.
I operate the Archer MR 600 with a 4G mobile data sim card. The WLAN works perfectly. I bought the TL-WA901N for the bottom floor. I connected this to the Archer MR 600 using an Ethernet cable. This WLAN also works perfectly, but this is now a separate WLAN. I therefore have two WLANs. When I switch from one WLAN to the other, the switch does not always work straight away. What do I have to change so that the TL-WA901N takes over the WLAN from the Archer MR 600 and I only have one WLAN in the building? Does this work with these devices? Thank you
