Features of the Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G with Poynting 4×4 MIMO panel antenna

Converts 4G/LTE and 5G cellular signal to WiFi, creating a wireless network that can be used by laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and other WiFi-enabled devices using your cellular data plan. (SIM card required.)
Dual SIM card slot supports two data plans. Includes support for WiFi 6, WiFi WAN, and Ethernet WAN. Onboard software allows you to prioritize which data source the router will prefer and which ones it will fail over to.
Poynting’s XPOL-24 4×4 outdoor MIMO panel antenna contains four cross-polarized antennas for superior signal strength and quality. Poynting’s patent-pending radiator configuration provides 8.5 to 11 dBi of gain for common cellular frequencies. Choose your antenna cable length: 16.4′, 20′, 30′, or 50′. (Learn more.)
Two WiFi antenna ports with two paddle antennas broadcast simultaneous dual-band (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) WiFi. Supports WiFi 6.
Two Ethernet LAN gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps) ports and one Ethernet WAN 2.5 gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps) port.
GPIO power port with 120V AC/DC adapter.
The low-profile metal enclosure (5.8″ × 5.1″ × 1.2″) is easy to install in tight spaces.
Operates on a wider range of cellular bands than consumer cell signal boosters. (See below.)
Certified by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Works with all major U.S. cellular carriers and networks.
Includes Peplink’s one-year warranty plus a one-year subscription to Peplink PrimeCare+ service.
With a PrimeCare+ add-on package, you can extend your router’s warranty, continue to use Peplink’s InControl² cloud-based management and SpeedFusion services, and get 24/7 email support. (Learn more.)

The Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G receives wireless cellular signal and converts it to WiFi, creating a large WiFi “hotspot” in your home, business, RV, trailer, or boat. With the Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G, your computer, tablet, smart TV, and other WiFi devices can use your cellular data plan to access the internet.

The Poynting XPOL-24 MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antenna sends and receives signal to the cell tower through four simultaneous data streams, providing improved signal strength and quality.

Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G annotated features

SIM card required (important—please read)

To use the Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G as a cellular–WiFi router, you must have an activated nano-SIM card with a data plan. You can obtain a SIM card from your cellular carrier (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and add it as an additional line on your existing plan. You can also purchase SIM cards from many retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy; the data plan will either have a recurring monthly payment or will be a prepaid “pay-as-you-go” plan.

A nano-SIM card

is about the size of a fingernail.

Who is the Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G with Poynting 4×4 MIMO panel antenna for?

Homes and small offices in remote locations where cellular signal is the only available high-speed internet service.
Improvised WiFi networks at events with up to 150 users (school, community, church, etc.)
Wired offices and data centers that use WiFi as a backup or failover option.
Users of T-Mobile band 71 and other 5G bands for their internet service.
Locations where outdoor cellular signal strength is fair or moderate.

For locations with weak cellular signal, a cell signal booster may be a better option. If you have any questions about which option is right for you, please feel free to contact Powerful Signal—we’ll be happy to help you!
