TP-Link TL-MR6500v Router Wi-Fi 4 Single Band (2.4GHz)

Great piece of kit, the ability to connect to internal telephone wiring and use the SIM card to make calls works well, including passing caller display details for inbound calls which is a bonus. Make sure the antennas are secure as if not quite tight then the signal suffers significantly.

This seems to be a fairly good router. Using it for telephony is more complicated than just connecting a phone and I have not yet got it to work for this function.

it is a very good router for the money and it works great

I bought this router for one reason only. I was closing down my landline and switching broadband to 4G but I also wanted to maintain our home phone and landline number by using VoLTE (not VOIP) and a virtual landline. After trying two other routers which failed at VoLTE, I bought this one. Brilliant! It worked both broadband and phone straight out of the box with little setup needed. Only downside is that it is old tech and not that fast - I get up to 65Mbps but that is good enough for me.

Good Points: Flexible and not reliant on a service provider Improvement Points: More about modem and type of telephone to use

Good Points: Easy plug & play SIM card set-up, no user input required. Connection for analogue phone as alternative to a land line connection. Improvement Points: Minor issue, VoLTE operation for external analogue phone was not plug & play but required to be switched on within router internal set-up.

Good Points: Easy set up
