Review of the Available Wi-Fi Router Mercusys MW301R

The company Mercusys, which is already known for its inexpensive routers, decided to make the most affordable router. Of all the budget routers that are now on the market, Mercusys MW301R is the most affordable (the price is about 11 dollars). And it’s an N300 standard router that supports Wi-Fi network speeds of up to 300 Mbps. While most of its competitors can deliver a maximum of 150 Mbps. You can see this information at any online store that sells MW301R. Sort the items from cheapest to most expensive.

Mercusys MW301R is interesting first of all for its price and convenient web-interface, thanks to which you can configure the router in a few minutes. As I wrote above, the maximum Wi-Fi speed is up to 300 Mbps. Support for 802.11 b/g/n standards. The speed of the LAN ports is up to 100 Mbps. There are a total of three Ethernet ports on the router. Two LAN and one WAN port. The router has two Wi-Fi antennas with 5dBi power. They provide strong and stable wireless coverage.

This router can work in the wireless bridge mode (WDS bridge ). It is possible to create a guest Wi-Fi network. The “Parental Control” function is present.

The package is minimal and does not differ from other routers. In addition to the router in the box you will find a power adapter, network cable and manual.

All this comes in a compact and beautiful box.

Mercusys MW301R is a very compact router. It fits in the palm of your hand.

Despite the low price of this router, it is made of good plastic (no odor) and not badly assembled. The plastic is matte and very practical.

On the front side you can see the company logo, and one LED indicator that lights up or flashes when the router is on.

The antennas are attached to the side edges. They are non-removable, but they rotate 180 degrees. They can be folded and the router can be hung on the wall. At the bottom there are the necessary holes for this.

On the rear edge there are three Ethernet ports, a connector for the power adapter and a Reset button.

The web-interface (control panel) is the same as on other routers from Mercusys. It is beautiful, simple and functional.

It is not difficult to figure out the settings at all.

There is a quick setup wizard that allows you to configure the router in a few steps.

Conclusions: Mercusys MW301R is a great router that you can safely buy if you have a very limited budget to buy a router. And you do not know why you need a more expensive, powerful and functional router. It is also suitable for working in the wireless bridge mode. When you need to expand the coverage of the existing network, or connect to the Internet device that does not have wi-fi.

It has all the necessary functions. It is easy to set up. It is compact and looks good. It is definitely worth its money.
