TP-Link M8550 5G Mobile Router for Fast Wi-Fi 6E Wherever You Need It

The TP-Link M8550 combines a 5G mobile modem, tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and a rechargeable battery in one portable router. Insert a compatible Nano SIM to create a private Wi-Fi network for laptops, phones, tablets and other devices without relying on phone tethering.

It also provides a Gigabit WAN/LAN port for wired networking, two TS-9 antenna connections and a touchscreen for checking network, battery and connected-device information directly on the router.

Is This Right for You?

• Choose the M8550 when you need portable 5G internet for travel, mobile work or locations without a fixed broadband connection.
• It can share the connection with up to 32 Wi-Fi devices, making it useful when several users or devices need internet access at once.
• The Gigabit WAN/LAN port is useful when a wired connection is preferred or when you want to use an Ethernet WAN connection instead of mobile broadband.
• If 5G coverage is unavailable, actual performance will depend on the available mobile network and signal conditions.
