This a post detailing my install and opinion of the RUTX09 router from Teltonika. I am using this at home, I run a business from home, and we have 3 kids home schooling during lock down.
A few weeks ago we started having problems with our MR6400 router, it the TP Link router was freezing and locking up.
We were using the router very heavily at the time, so when searching for a new router I included the phrase "industrial" hoping for some heavy duty offerings. This a 3G 4G router for mobile broadband.
Firstly if you would like to watch a video instead, please do:
When searching I was met with a mixture of offering from Cisco (around £1000) and a new company Teltonika, which I hadn't heard of. These range in price from £150 to £350, and the hardware specifications were good, and that couple with ability to use open source linux software on them made the decision.
I got mine from NetXL, the delivery was very good, next day, even when ordering in afternoon. I had previously bought a ponty XPOL antenna from them so was sure it would be sent quickly.
The RUTX09 router is well built, with an all alloy construction. It runs on an ARM processor (which is the same they use in iphone).
It is fairly self explanatory putting it together. I was little surprised that there was no wifi, but that's my fault for not checking. Easy to set up using old router.
The inclusion of a GPS antenna, leads me to think perhaps this router is vehicular applications (?) not sure.
The router includes a small tool to remove SIM tray and install, which is neat.
In any case I was soon logged in to the configuration interface which, first lands on a 4 stage setup. I had the router connected wired to my main PC, and I noticed the speed was very good, the internet felt more snappy straight away. Download speeds increased from 30MB/s to around 40MB/s.
HOWEVER, none of the wireless access points seamed to have internet access, and network connectivity (when looking at client list) was patchy and sporadic.
Note: My home network consists of:
I tried in vein for around 7 hours to get the network operational, I switch everything on and off again (the whole system), checked all IPs, MACs and DHCP settings. I reluctantly upgraded firm wear, which went OK!
Then I found a little setting on Network > LAN > Edit LAN > Relay Configuration
Whether it was luck, or this was the correct setting for wireless access points I do not know. After enabling I noticed the firewall rules had automatically changed. So perhaps it is a pre-set for firewall configuration.
Any how, now the RUTX09 router is up and running is it an absolute sledge hammer. It can run 2 HD TVs, 3 Video Conference Laptops, and my main PC. It is rock solid.
With the same antenna, and same reception our old TP link router could not handle web use and TV watching at the same time, and could not handle 2 x HD TVs at once. The failing must have been on the TP Link Router's behalf, as the down load speeds were alway 30MB/s plus, so should be enough for 2 TVs and a few laptops.
So all in all it works very well, and I would suggest give this or another Teltonika Router a whirl. Since setting it up, everything has been working A-OK, with no crashes or evene delays.
They seam extremely well made . . . they just need a few setup presets for dumb asses like me!
