Reliable, uninterrupted Internet connectionCreate a fail-safe, traffic-sharing Internet connection with simultaneous support for4G LTE/3G mobile Internet connection and fixed broadband connection. A Gigabit Ethernet WAN port allows you to connect a DSL/cable modem as a primary or backup link, while the failover feature provides a seamless connection that automatically switches to your 4G LTE/3G network as soon as the WAN connection is lost. The sharing feature allows you to combine Internet connections to achieve even higher speeds. Built-in Quality of Service (QoS) management prioritises traffic to ensure that the most important data gets the best bandwidth. |
Simple to set up and useSet up your network in minutes; the DWR-953 comes with a convenient setup wizard that gets you up and running immediately. Older wireless devices supporting 802.11g/b standards are fully compatible with the Wireless AC1200 4G LTE Mobile Router, so you can get up and running with ease.

The product is good and the performance is good. On the other hand, the firmware suffers from a problem with the management of text messages... Although I patched it with the latest version available on the site, it is impossible to send SMS... It is however essential with my operator to recharge the DATA account of the 4G SIM. Big disappointment.
Excellent 4G reception. Easy to set up. however, unstable internet speed, reboot required regularly despite firmware and 3 bar 4 G updates. My TP link M3750 portable 4g rooter works in parallel and is faster and more stable. I'm sorry, it looked promising.
Easy to use, user friendly web interface and easily configurable, tested with an external Mimo antenna on Sosh and Freemobile in extreme conditions in 3G I am in France in the countryside, there is no 4G, hills and trees have invited themselves in the landscape!
Of course the two operators are on the same antenna. The only drawback is that I am obliged to use the DNS of OpenDNS. Otherwise the performance is 2 to 8 times better than my ADSL line.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's not a good idea to use it for a long time, so I'm going to use it for a long time.
Flow in the house 35up/15dw/lt50ms
Data rate at the window facing the antenna: 75up/35dw/lt32ms
The operation of the DWR953 in multi-WAN mode is totally erratic in my context of use (ADSL 6Mbps + 4G at 40Mbps with stable reception level from 96% to 100%)
The malfunctions occur both with 4G in primary and secondary link.
Symptoms in "load sharing" :
- 4G "sleep" with all traffic routed over ADSL,
- Bandwidth roller coaster from 1Mbps to 6Mbps,
- (Probably) random load balancing management that disrupts internet access (some sites don't like to see network packets with different IPs arrive for the same request).
As for the "failover" mode, it is not really usable since the 4G packages do not cut the service beyond the "fair use" but provide a drastic reduction of the bandwidth. No configuration possible on the DWR953 to trigger failover on bandwidth stub.
On the other hand, as soon as one has an exclusive use of 4G or ADSL, the operation of this router is stable. I have not noticed any loss of connection after 2 months of use and many (many) tests.
The last but not the least is that it is regrettable that its routing capacities are really insufficient. Indeed, in my context, this router is connected in wire to an ADSL box having the DHCP activated. Well, except for a multi-wan operation, it is not seen by the box (its gateway to the box is deactivated and I did not find a solution to activate it neither by the administration GUI nor by command line configuration -ssh or telnet- forbidden by the router). Direct consequence: impossible to route the flows initiated by the box network (192.168.1.0) to the router internal network (192.168.0.0). To get around this limitation, you have to connect to the box's network all the peripherals that you want to share between the 2 networks.
