Model: TL-MR150  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I can't figure out if there are any differences (regarding to performance or features) between MR100, MR150 and MR6400.

...other than MR100 has only 1+1 ethernet ports while the other two have 3+1 ports.

And it seems MR150 has a frequency 850 MHz.

So, is these models are meant for different regions?

Or why are they all sold in the same country?

 

If there were only MR100 and MR6400, I would get it but the MR150 makes it confusing.

I've previously chosen MR6400 and it works with the new beta just fine, even if I would never need more than 2 ports, so I was wondering if the cheaper MR100 would have done the same job with similar performance. And MR150 is more expensive than MR6400, so what's going on?

What gap is the MR150 meant to fill up?

@sherewarrior 

No, I haven't. There's no info about any difference in hardware. MR150 seems a newer product or it's just a marketing decision to rename this same product with a more logical model number in the MR range.

I can tell you, whichever you choose it will work just fine for one or a few devices connected but - probably partly due to the ISP's obscurous algorithm - it can't handle dozens of simultaneous connections even just via LAN port, so it's unrelated to wifi performance.

@Arion 

I feel it's just a software update, and they decided to create a new product. I have compared products data sheets (the only place where I found some differences).

 

1/ MR100 (not in MR6400)

-Wireless Schedule 

-2 LAN ports (other 4)

SW specification difference:
· DHCP: Server, DHCP Client List, Address Reservation
· Port Forwarding: ALG, Virtual Server, Port Triggering, UPnP, DMZ
· Dynamic DNS: DynDns, NO-IP
· Security: IPv4 SPI Firewall, IP and MAC Address Binding
· Administration: Upgrade Firmware, Factory Default, System Log, Diagnostic Tools
· Management: Local Management, Remote Management

 

 

2/ MR6400 (not in MR100)

-button to turn off wifi

- has parent control

-you can manage router from their mobile app

SW specification difference:
· DHCP: Server, Client, DHCP Client List, Address Reservation
· Port Forwarding: Virtual Server, Port Triggering, UPnP, DMZ
· Dynamic DNS: TP-Link DDNS, DynDns, NO-IP
· Quality of Service: WMM, QoS
· VPN Passthrough: PPTP, L2TP, IPSec
· VPN Server: PPTP VPN, OpenVPN
· Access Control: Parental Controls, Local Management Control, Host List, Access Control

· Firewall Security: DoS, SPI Firewall, IP and MAC Address Binding
· Management: Access Control, Local Management, Remote Management

 

The biggest stupidity is that MR6400 currently has 5 versions, and each time they switch antennas purposes - external/internal antenna once WIFI, once LTE.

V3/APAC: 2 Internal 4G LTE Antennas
V4/V2/V1: 2 Detachable 4G LTE Antennas

 

3/ MR100 vs. MR150

- 150 has 2 more LAN ports 

 

My biggest concern is if there is a difference between the external antenna gains MR100 and MR6400. You cannot find this information anywhere...
