Your Internet, Where You Need It: Flexible via SIM & Cable
The TP-Link Archer MR6400 is the ultimate solution for flexible internet connections. Its main purpose is to provide you with a complete WiFi Network via a 4G 4G SIM card. This makes it the perfect companion for holiday homes, mobile offices, construction sites, or rural areas without a fast cable connection. But its flexibility goes even further: thanks to the configurable LAN/WAN port, you can also operate the MR6400 in 'Wireless Router Mode'. Simply connect it to your existing modem and use it as a classic WiFi Routers. The integrated failover function ensures that in the event of an outage of your main line, it automatically switches to the 4G connection – for an internet connection that won't let you down.
Maximum Reception Strength: The 4G Router with External Antenna
Do you only have weak mobile reception in your area? The Archer MR6400 is designed precisely for this. The two powerful, external 4G Antennas ensure a stable and efficient connection to the cell towers. The decisive advantage: these Antennas are attached via standard SMA connectors and are completely detachable. This gives you the freedom to upgrade to even stronger 4G Outdoor Antennas or directional antennas if necessary. This way, you get maximum speed and stability from the mobile Network even in challenging locations.
Simple, Stable & Secure: Your Home Network in No Time
TP-Link makes getting started as easy as possible. Thanks to the Plug & Play design, the 4G / 5G Routers is ready for use in just a few minutes. Management is a breeze via the intuitive web interface or the practical Tether app for iOS and Android. Here you can set up a guest network for visitors, control online times and content with parental controls, or use Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize important devices on the network. The integrated SPI firewall and modern WPA/WPA2 encryption standards reliably protect your network from threats.
Plain Talk: What the Archer MR6400 Can Do – and What It Can't
For maximum transparency, it is important to know the exact characteristics of the MR6400. It is a specialist for stable connections via the long-range 2.4 GHz WiFi band. This is ideal for covering even distant rooms or the garden. However, it does not support 5 GHz WiFi, which can be a disadvantage in densely populated areas with many interfering networks. In addition, the four Ethernet ports are designed as Fast Ethernet ports with up to 100 Mbps. This is completely sufficient for most everyday applications but can limit the maximum 4G speed of 150 Mbps for a wired connection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the Archer MR6400 as a normal WiFi Router even without a SIM card?
Yes, that is possible. The router has a configurable LAN/WAN port. You can use this port to connect the MR6400 via an Ethernet Cable to an existing cable, fiber optic, or DSL modem and operate it in 'Wireless Router Mode'.
Does the TP-Link MR6400 support the 5 GHz WiFi band?
No, the Archer MR6400 is a pure single-band router and exclusively supports the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It cannot connect to or establish 5 GHz networks.
What SIM card size is required for the MR6400?
The router uses a Micro-SIM card slot (3FF). However, adapters for Nano-SIM cards are included in the scope of delivery to ensure compatibility.
Can I improve the WiFi range of the router with external antennas?
No, not directly. The two external antennas are exclusively responsible for 4G/LTE mobile reception. The WiFi Antennas are internally installed and cannot be replaced. However, improving the 4G/LTE signal with stronger antennas can indirectly lead to a more stable internet connection.
How many devices can connect to the MR6400's WiFi simultaneously?
The manufacturer states that the router can provide a stable connection for up to 32 wireless devices simultaneously.
Is it possible to connect an external 4G/LTE Antenna to improve reception?
Yes, that is one of the main advantages of this model. The two included 4G/LTE antennas are connected via standard SMA connectors and can be replaced by more powerful external antennas to achieve a better signal in areas with poor network coverage.
