TP-Link Archer MR200 V5.2
Promptly replaced my 2 month old LTE Cube from Huawei to the greatest satisfaction. Sometimes spontaneous purchases pay off.
Finally 4G up to down 65MBit/s / up 14 MBit/s (without external antenna)

I have been looking for a suitable LTE router for a long time. After researching, I came away from FritzBox, Zyxel, D-Link and Huawei. I came across TP-Link because of good reviews. It definitely paid off. Top price/performance. Super WLAN reception. I have hardly any mobile reception in my flat and thought I'd give it a try and buy an antenna extension. To my surprise, I have an acceptable stable bandwidth/connection. Now I can cancel my cable connection and save money. It was a good decision;-))

Very good product, does its job of providing me with an internet connection via 4G (Salt surf unlimited), the connection is stable and wide enough to give me similar or even better performance (especially when sending) than my previous cable internet connection (upc 20/2).
The configuration interface is also well done, the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz wifi networks are easy to configure, as well as the parameters related to the SIM card used.
No problem with the design of the device, it is rather small and flat compared to many other modems or routers, the only problem would be with the LEDs on the top of the device that can be difficult to see if you are not above the device.

Was with this part on a concert tour in public places throughout Switzerland. The team had thus permanent Internet access with all your notebooks and other gadgets without the hassle of always connecting to the cell phones or the existing hotspots.
After unpacking, the first thing I was allowed to do was to install a firmware update. This was a positive experience. The web GUI looked modern and appealing afterwards. The setup was very simple and intuitive and was guided by a "wizard".
Operating with a SIM card from Sunrise was easy. Card in and it ran. LTE reception is great and in most cases was even better than on the crew's smartphones.
In summary, I would say a top product at a super fair price. I'm already looking forward to further deployments. Whether it can keep up with "professional" equipment, I do not believe. But for my purpose (mobile Internet access for devices without own SIM card) I have definitely found a solution with this product.
I'm also looking forward to using it abroad, I'm curious how easily it works with other providers and prepaid sim cards.

Commissioning went very well. I don't have any long-term experience; I haven't had the device long enough for that.
If you want to maintain the device remotely via the Internet, please note that many mobile phone providers do not assign an IP address that can be reached via the Internet.

The mobile router works great. After inserting the SIM card, the router actually works without further configuration. WLAN is pre-set and the access data is on the back of the router. WLAN can also be individually adjusted. The configuration menu is simple and clear.
The WLAN signal has a normal range.
You can easily take the router with you, e.g. on holiday, plug it in and it works just like at home. Provided the LTE/4G reception is sufficient. Also be careful abroad with roaming charges. Roaming can also be blocked in the menu if you are near a border and the signal should jump to a provider in another country. Everyone knows this function from their mobile phone.
