Model: M7350  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I purchased a D-Link G403 router. My  Portable TP Link wifi unit was stolen, but also it did  not have WPA3 security required for my Mac.

No set up instructions so I paid Apple Store, but the set up is unreliable and drops continuously. Requests ignored by support.  I intend to return this unit to Amazon and buy TPL. as from experience I know the support is very good.

 

BUT…. WHICH ONE?  Can you advise me pease?

 

Here are the details:

 

MacBook Air M2

 

Wifi connection

Without ethernet cable

Wind Sim

 

Security WPA3 WPA3 Personal

 

One user - home use only.

Router next to computer

 

Other devices -iPad Air 2 and Windows 10 laptop

Vpn for UK television

No smart phone

 

I just want a fast, simple and secure wifi connection.

 

Thanks.

Thanks to @woozle and indeed Archer AX1500 cannot work with a SIM card. To use SIM card 4G internet, you could consider Archer MR600 V3 which supports WPA3 as well.

For more information, please check it on TP-Link official website: Archer MR600 | 4G+ Cat6 AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router

Considering your needs for a fast, simple, and secure WiFi connection, I recommend going for the TP-Link Archer AX1500. It supports WPA3 security and is suitable for your MacBook Air M2, iPad Air 2, and Windows 10 laptop. With TP-Link's reliable support, it should align well with your previous positive experience. Its performance and  thieves security features make it a solid choice for your home setup.

Please note that the TP-Link Archer AX1500 does not have a 4G modem built in (i.e. it cannot be used with a SIM card). 


The Archer AX1500 is a different type of router than the D-Link G403 or the TP-Link M7350.

Thank you Sunshine for your reply to my query.  I have checked out this router and it looks very grand indeed.I have very little understanding of all its attributes I'm afraid.  Is there a simpler - and cheaper - model I can consider?

I am tempted by the Archer MR600 especially as I can get no help from the D-Link router suppiort, which I intend to return.   It constantly malfunctions.

 

This is rather pricey for me, is there anything similar TP-Link at a lower price? Also with the MR600, which size sim.  I have Wind nano.

 

Thanking you for your time.

Hi, you could also consider TL-MR6400 but it doesn't support WPA3 at this moment.

 

The current version MR600 V3 and MR6400 V5.30 SIM card slot are both Nano SIM slot
