The Archer MR402 supports 4G LTE bands used by Australian carriers including Telstra, Optus, and TPG\/Vodafone. It accepts a standard nano SIM card — simply insert your SIM and the router will connect automatically. Check your carrier’s 4G coverage map to confirm signal availability at your location before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Archer MR402 powered?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MR402 is powered via PoE (802.3af) using the included PoE injector. A single Ethernet cable runs from the indoor PoE injector to the outdoor unit, carrying both data and power. No separate power cable is required at the mounting point, making installation clean and straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far can the Ethernet cable run between the MR402 and the PoE injector?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard PoE over Ethernet supports cable runs up to 100 metres. Use outdoor-rated, UV-resistant Cat5e or Cat6 cable for any exposed sections of the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the MR402 in bridge mode with my existing router?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. In bridge mode, the MR402 acts as a 4G modem and passes the connection through to your existing indoor router, which handles DHCP, firewall, and Wi-Fi. This is ideal for integrating 4G into an existing network without replacing your current setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy mount the router outdoors rather than using an indoor 4G router?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutdoor mounting places the antenna array as close as possible to the 4G signal source, without walls, roofing materials, or building insulation attenuating the signal. In regional and fringe-coverage areas, this can make the difference between a marginal, unreliable connection and a fast, stable one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Archer MR402 suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Australia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The IP65 rating protects against dust ingress and water jets, and the operating temperature range of -40°C to 65°C covers the full range of Australian climate conditions — from alpine winters to outback summers. It is designed for permanent, year-round outdoor installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49452282183909,"sku":"Archer MR402-Outdoor","price":262.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/archer-mr402-outdoor-4g-ac1200-dual-band-wifi-outdoor-router.webp?v=1780045520","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-archer-mr402-outdoor-4g-lte-cat6-wifi-router","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
