Frequently Asked Questions
Which Australian SIM cards are compatible with the TL-MR100?
The TL-MR100 accepts a standard micro-SIM card and is compatible with Australian 4G carriers including Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone. Check that your SIM plan includes data and that the router’s supported LTE bands match your carrier’s network bands in your area.
Can I use the TL-MR100 as a backup internet connection?
Yes. The TL-MR100 has a WAN port that can be connected to a fixed-line modem (ADSL, cable, or fibre). When the fixed-line connection fails, the router can fall back to the 4G SIM connection, providing continuity of service.
Does the TL-MR100 support NBN?
The TL-MR100 is a 4G LTE router and does not connect directly to NBN infrastructure. However, it can be used as a standalone 4G broadband solution or as a backup alongside an NBN connection via the WAN port.
What type of SIM card does it use?
The TL-MR100 uses a micro-SIM card (also known as a 3FF SIM). If your carrier provides a nano-SIM, you will need a nano-to-micro SIM adapter, available from most electronics retailers.
How do I manage data usage on the TL-MR100?
The web-based management interface includes data usage monitoring and allows you to set monthly data limits and alerts to help avoid exceeding your SIM plan’s data allowance.
Can I improve 4G signal reception?
Yes. The TL-MR100 has two detachable external antenna ports (TS-9 connectors) that support optional external high-gain 4G antennas, which can significantly improve signal strength in areas with weak coverage.
