The Mercusys MB230-4G is a 4G+ Cat6 AC1200 wireless dual band gigabit router. Insert a nano SIM and it shares a 4G+ connection of up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload over dual-band Wi-Fi of 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, for up to 64 devices. It has a gigabit LAN/WAN port and a gigabit LAN port, WPA3 security, data-usage controls and setup through the Mercusys app.

MB230-4G overview

The MB230-4G turns a 4G mobile service into a home or office Wi-Fi network. Insert a nano SIM card, power the router on, and it shares the mobile connection with your Wi-Fi devices. Mercusys rates it as 4G+ Cat 6: using Carrier Aggregation it reaches LTE speeds of up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload. Mercusys notes that maximum 4G speeds depend on local 4G coverage, your data plan, real-time network capacity, client limitations and environmental factors. The router is compatible with FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE, and Mercusys says it works with most service providers worldwide. The band list on the Mercusys Australia page is the EU variant: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 (2100/1800/850/2600/900/800/700 MHz), TDD-LTE B38/B40 (2600/2300 MHz) and HSPA+/UMTS B1/B5/B8 (2100/850/900 MHz), so check your provider's bands against that list. The SIM card must be unlocked; if it is not, you can unlock it through the Mercusys app or verify it under PIN Management in the web interface.

On the Wi-Fi side the MB230-4G is an AC1200 dual-band router using IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n with an 80 MHz maximum channel width. Mercusys lists signal rates of 867 Mbps on 5 GHz, for bandwidth-intensive HD streaming and gaming, and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, for music streaming, browsing and online shopping. These are maximum physical rates derived from the IEEE 802.11 specifications, and actual throughput, coverage and the number of connected devices vary with network conditions and environment. Mercusys lists a maximum capacity of 64 wireless clients and a recommended limit of 32. Wireless functions include Smart Connect, WPS and a wireless schedule, guest networks on both bands, and WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA3-SAE security. Mercusys also describes it as EasyMesh compatible, able to work with EasyMesh routers and range extenders; it notes that connections between vendors can fail because of firmware conflicts, that the function is still being developed on some models, and that the product has not obtained Wi-Fi EasyMesh certification.

The datasheet lists two internal 4G LTE antennas and two internal Wi-Fi antennas. The hardware version described on the Mercusys page (v1.20) also has two 4G/3G external antenna ports for connecting external antennas for wider coverage; external antennas are not in the package contents. There are two gigabit Ethernet ports: one LAN/WAN port and one LAN port. In Wireless Router mode the LAN/WAN port connects to a cable, fibre or DSL modem or an Ethernet outlet, using Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP, so a fixed connection can be used when 4G is not available; in 3G/4G Router mode the ports provide internet to wired devices. Router features include a DHCP server with address reservation, NAT forwarding (ALG, virtual server, port triggering, UPnP and DMZ), IPv4 and IPv6, DynDNS and NO-IP, QoS, an IPv4 SPI firewall and IPv6 firewall, access control, IP and MAC binding, parental controls with time control and website filtering, and TR-069 for service providers.

Mercusys includes tools to keep data use in check. A flow switch turns 4G access on or off, a roaming switch enables roaming when your nano SIM supports it, and a data limit with SMS alerts warns you as you approach it, alongside data statistics and an SMS inbox and outbox. Cellular settings cover 4G and 3G modes, band search, network search, APN profiles and PIN management. You can set up and manage the MB230-4G through the Mercusys app on Android or iOS, or through its web interface, with firmware upgrades over the cloud and remote management. The desktop unit measures 95 x 61.05 x 165.97 mm (3.74 x 2.40 x 6.53 in), runs from a 12 V / 1 A power supply, has power, LAN and three signal LEDs with LED control and night mode, and operates from 0 °C to 40 °C. In the box are the router, a power adapter, an RJ45 Ethernet cable and a Quick Installation Guide.
