Quick Specs

Ultra-Fast 4G+ Cat6 Connectivity

Built on Cat6 4G+ technology, this router uses Carrier Aggregation to combine multiple LTE bands for speeds up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload. Whether you’re in a rural area or need a backup connection, it delivers stable, high-bandwidth internet without relying on fixed-line infrastructure.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi for Seamless Streaming

Supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the MB230-4G provides up to 1200 Mbps total Wi-Fi throughput. The 5 GHz band is perfect for 4K streaming and online gaming, while the 2.4 GHz band ensures broader coverage for everyday devices. Internal high-gain antennas boost signal strength and range.

Flexible WAN/LAN Connectivity

Unlike many 4G routers, this model features a fully functional WAN/LAN port, allowing it to work with cable, fibre, or DSL modems as a primary router. You can also connect wired devices directly via the two Gigabit Ethernet ports, making it a versatile hub for both wireless and wired networks.

Simple Setup with MERCUSYS App

Installation takes minutes—just insert a nano SIM card, power on, and use the MERCUSYS app (Android/iOS) to configure settings, monitor usage, and manage connected devices. The app provides an intuitive interface for both beginners and advanced users.
