If you're using this router to connect to a hotspot device (e.g. MiFi, iPhone hotspot, etc), place that device as close as possible to your router for best results.

Features:

Next-Generation Platform

• Designed to handle current and future WiMAX and LTE modem speeds
• MIPS Processor, NetBSD Operating System, Extra Memory

Enhanced WiFi Performance (versus older MBR900 model)

• MBR95 feature WiFi “N” with a 2x2 antenna system with internal antennas
• Offers comparable WiFi performance without the clutter
• Antenna can’t be broken off
• Sleek black design looks good in any environment
• Dual SSIDs, enabling either
• Multiple types of users ( ie, corporate + guest)
• WiFi-as-WAN, supporting WiFi repeater or WiFi-to-Ethernet bridge

Modem Reliability Improvements (versus older MBR900 model)

• Added “Modem Hammer”, also known as Modem Health Management (MHM)
• MHM monitors connectivity of 3rd-party USB modems.
• MHM provides tiers of recovery mechanisms, starting with software resets and escalating to hardware reset and full power cycle of modem as necessary.

Redesigned User Interface

• Completely redesigned to improve usability

Reliability:

• Modem Health Management (MHM) monitors connectivity of 3rd-party USB modems. MHM provides tiers of recovery mechanisms, starting with software resets and escalating to hardware reset and full power cycle of modem as necessary.

Flexibility:

• “WiFi-as-WAN” mode enables use as a WiFi repeater or as a WiFi-to- Ethernet adapter for non-WiFi devices.
• Supports pass-through VPN connections (IPSec, L2TP, PPTP) to enable laptops with a VPN client to connect through the router to corporate networks.
• Network Failover support . When a wired internet source (DSL, Cable Modem) is connected to the ethernet port, the MBR95 will automatically detect an internet outage and switch to the wireless 3G/4G internet. Valuable use of the 3G/4G modem when not traveling.
