Hello everyone, can wifi be switched off here and only be operated via Lan? Many thanks in advance
Hello Varvatos,
...the M7650 only has an interface for the mains cable for charging. There is no connection for a LAN cable. The WiFi can be set via the online router setting - continuous operation (until the data volume is full, then it switches off automatically), or a setting for a time loop (8:00 to 22:00). I had the M7650 in continuous operation as a home hotspot with a SIM card, as no Internet cable was offered. After about a year, the continuous operation regularly switched off automatically after 48 hours because it was constantly filling up (whatever !, I'm not a technician).
I then contacted TP-Link, who helped me very well after some initial hesitation. I then received a TP-Link Archer MR600 (with SIM card) in exchange as a warranty case and am now very satisfied with continuous operation without any failures with download/upload 140/30Mbit/s.
I would not recommend the M7650 as a home router variant. It's ok for a holiday trip with a country SIM card. As a home network router, I would recommend the Archer MR600 or subsequent models if you live in the country and access the Internet via mobile radio.
Regarding the cost of the data stream - I have an unlimited Internet flat rate via O2 on a partner tariff (i.e. there are two mobile tariffs for my wife and me and a SIM card with a contract for unlimited data flat rate for home Internet) for €20 (not including the two mobile tariffs). We don't have a landline, just Internet and 2 mobile phones.
I hope I was able to help you, vG Stephan
