TP-Link Archer NX200 AX1800Mbps Wi-Fi 6 5G Router with SIM Slot Download Speeds Up to 4.67 Gbit/s Dual Band WLAN Router, Gigabit LAN/WAN Port, Plug & Play SIM Card

This has been out a little while now and I've had my eye on it as an upgrade to my 4G TP-Link Archer MR600 v2. With a 3 sim card, I've been getting a regular 30-50mbps connection. I'm lucky to have direct line of sight to a 5G mast and have been wanting to upgrade but finding a 5G router from a reputable brand is still quite hard to do, not to mention the cost of 5G equipment is still up there compared to 4G. Enter the NX200. First impressions were fine - it feels rather light for the size compared to my MR600 but the build quality is good quality plastics all round. Smart little display on the front. The SIM tray is underneath the unit vs on the back as with most models. Setup was a breeze. If you've used the TP Link Tether app before you'll be familiar with this but for those who are not, there's an instruction card in the box. I did have a slight issue where after setting a login password for the router settings it timed out and had me restart the setup process but this was mostly just hitting next buttons to confirm (again) I'd done certain things like put in a sim card and I was back at the same screen in no time. The bit you probably care about - speeds. Again, bear in mind I've got direct line of sight to a 5G tower on top of a block of flats a quarter mile away and have placed my router facing it at the back of my house so this is all best case (note: there aren't any antennas included in the box, but you can add them; I don't feel I need to as you'll see). Consistently getting a solid 5G connection with around 350mbps down and 65 up. As someone who works from home and games in an evening, and is in an area stuck on copper and not in a fibre rollout area, the speed boost has been a game changer. There are other benefits such as an increased number of devices that can connect but I only need 10 or so which was fine on the MR600. If you have the money, live in an area with good 5G and can score a cheap sim (I use Smarty), this is a no brainer upgrade over any 4G router you currently have. Highly recommended.

simple as pop sim card into the unit and way you go, make sure you have a good data plan before using this, im running this on a network of a 16 devices including IPTV and smart devices too, good to check if you have a good signal on the best network in your area to avoid disappointment in the first please... great for motorhomes and motorboats.... if you a UPS unit it will last longer if the power gos off.... works on 3,4,5G network wifi coverage is also great you can change this from low med high RX/TX Finding a lot of TPlink devices better them most i have had in the past Size is good enough to pop on windowsill for best coverage too if you decide to have this for home broadband, at least you do not need to inform the ISP to disconnect and reconnect just switch off and when ready switch it back on in your new place able to use any network in the UK(should be able to use other networks round the world contact TPlink or simcard provider of not sure

I'm 95% happy with this device - easy to set up, has good meshing capability with other TP-Link boosters. It's range is middling... hence the need for extenders, although I appreciate some of that may be due to my house's thick walls. My only qualm, as another reviewer notes too: it will randomly drop for a minute or two a couple of times per week. This is highly frustrating when on a work call. You can opt to restart the device in such a scenario, but it's pretty slow to boot up, approx 90 seconds. So you're between a rock and hard place when urgently trying to get back onto a conference call. But overall - the benefits outweigh this relatively minor quirk.

Honestly dead chuffed with this router. Stuck a 5G SIM in it and that was literally it—sorted! I use it daily and the speed is just cracking. My laptop’s always on the Wi-Fi but it’s seamless, no messing about. Even better, I can actually game online with it—wireless—and it’s absolutely spot on, hardly any latency. It’s a genuinely great product, works a treat. Highly recommend it if you’re after fast, stable internet without the hassle of cables.

A really good 4/5G modem. Pitty the networks don't have a wider 5G coverage

Pros - fast internet Cons - many devices simply do not connect. Phone, home laptop and tablet were fine. Work laptop, 2x Amazon echos including one brand new, brand new TV either couldn't connect, or if they did were connected without internet. Phones drop out several times an hour. Had to return.

Works great delivering enough to power all my internet needs home broadband, good app so you can see what's happening and integrates well with my other tplink products. At just under £200 it's less expensive than any other.

This is perfect for our Internet lots running of it , very impressed.
