Questions about TP-Link M7200

According to our distributor this is the V3 version.

Both and are possible. A domestic sim card with a good roaming offer or one from the destination country. The practical thing is that you can change your mobile phone provider as needed. Roaming can be switched on and off via the app or the web interface.

Capable yes, useful no. The thing is small and has a battery, great for quickly setting up a hotspot on the go, be it for a group work on the lake or whatever. A proper WLAN router with 4G has decent sized antennas for LTE and WLAN and offers all the security features like firewall and tunneling. You might also want to connect a NAS, or do more than just stream movies on a smartphone.

NO, unfortunately it did not work for me in New York (with Sunrise SIM card). The problem is the frequencies in the USA. It is not as simple as here with 900/1800 etc. Various US providers such as T-Mobile use the so-called AWS, which is a dual frequency. Mostly 1700+another frequency. Because it didn't work in New York doesn't mean it might not work somewhere else. USA has lots of different frequencies :-( A great site to check is https://www.frequencycheck.com unfortunately there are not really MiFi's listed, but you can at least look at frequencies and compare them yourself. Here are the bands that the M7200 supports https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/mifi/m7200/#specifications

Have used this device in France and Spain where it worked perfectly with a telecom card.

Yes, the batteries or rechargeable batteries for the TP-Link M7200 are replaceable. - There are specially developed replacement batteries, such as the CELLONIC battery, which is compatible with the TP-Link M7200 and offers the same capacity of 2000mAh. - These replacement batteries are designed to replace the original batteries and offer similar performance and safety features.

Yes, the SIM cards are backwards compatible. So if you have a 5G SIM, it can also use 4G. So a normal 4G (LTE) router would also do it, i.e. the 7200M from TP-Link.

The Internet is available (Salt) in about 18 seconds after I switch it on. You can remove the battery. Ingenious little pocket router. Already in daily use for 5 years.

Yes, it works exactly as you thought it would, you don't have to press a button to switch it on, the router comes on as soon as it gets power. That's exactly why I bought it and so far everything is working fine :)

oops, unfortunately I don't know. The bigger problem is that none of the common telephone providers support the required protocols any more, although the TP Link worked great for me for a long time. From one day to the next it stopped. So before buying, please ask your telephone provider whether it supports this.

I have the M72000 and am happy with it - easy to use, sufficient performance, e.g. for weather maps (quite demanding). The Quick Installation Guide has no specifications, but see here https://www.tp-link.com/ch/home-networking/mifi/m7200/#specifications: apparently 150 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. There is also a contact option on this page. But I don't know how good the "hotline" is.

of course it is. Whenever a device is not subsidised by a provider. You pay the original product price.

DynDNS with mobile connections usually doesn't work. All (swiss) mobile providers route their mobile traffic using NAT, i.e. the IP which your browser shows on some IP-detection service like https://www.cyon.ch/misc/ip is not the IP of your device, but the IP of some NAT router at your mobile provider's data center. Thus, using DynDNS you would just point your DNS name to the mobile provider's data center, but requests to that IP will never be routed through to your device.

no there is only the USB cable but it can be charged either on a computer or directly by an external charger and plug, e.g. on the charger of my phone

Hello, so number 1 works. I've already done it that way. I don't quite understand question 2. This is a router with a SIM card to suck mobile data (via the mobile phone network).

If you have 4g Tel. reception with the mobile phone, it should work well with the router and e.g. Zattoo as aApp...on several PC's... Greetings

The only supported mobile frequency for canada by this device is Band 7 (2600MHz). So check your provider, if it is actually supported. Here's the rest of the supported frequencies: 4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B8/B20 (2100/1800/2600/900/800MHz) TDD-LTE B38/B40/B41 (2600/2300/2500MHz) 3G: DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS B1/B8 (2100/900MHz) Also i can recommend the following site to check supported frequencies for devices, countries and providers: https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries/canada
