The Mercusys MB110-4G is a compact 4G router that is quick to set up, but it is not compatible with the Mercusys app.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Mercusys MB110 4G

  • Nano SIM slot with LTE Cat4 up to 150 Mbps
  • Shares the connection with up to 32 devices
  • Connectors for external 4G antennas
  • Works as a normal router over Ethernet without 4G
  • VPN server, guest network and parental controls

What customers don't like about Mercusys MB110 4G

  • 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4 only, capped at 300 Mbps
  • Fast Ethernet ports at 100 Mbps
  • No USB port
  • Upload limited to 50 Mbps on LTE Cat4

Verdict

Just insert a Nano SIM and the MB110-4G shares the connection over Wi-Fi. This 4G router uses LTE Cat4 for download speeds up to 150 Mbps and uploads up to 50 Mbps. The Wi-Fi side is Wi-Fi 4 on 2.4 GHz at up to 300 Mbps, shared by up to 32 devices. Two 100 Mbps Ethernet ports let it work as a normal router when you cannot get a 4G signal. Internal antennas do the basic job, and connectors for external 4G antennas allow a stronger signal. Guest network, parental controls and a VPN server are built in, and the Mercusys app handles setup. Limits are easy to see: no 5 GHz band, no USB port and Fast Ethernet speeds only. For a budget price it works as a backup line or a home connection without cable broadband.
