- We take a look at the MR.NET Multi-Bonded, Triple Modem, Emergency Router. This device uses 3 onboard industrial grade Cellular Modems that create 3 simultaneous connections to multiple carriers. There is an optional WAN port for blending in your local 'Home' internet for failover scenarios. Three USB connections allow for additional WiFi and Network dongle devices to be connected to the MR.NET system for more demanding workflows.

This is very cool, I can see this being useful for a lot of situations. If I had a big house / large piece of property, something like this would be very useful to ensure security stays online.
Thank you! Great device.There are a lot of similar projects in Russia with even more features like sim extender, user friendly kinetic firmware and of course external antennas. Usually LTE router is built inside Antenna and you have ethernet cable coming inside the house via sim extender. It saves a lot of signal avoiding coaxial cable loss and expensive cables.
Can you give some links ?

Just in case I have some m.2 modem sim injectors in the United Kingdom
with open MPTCP router you can use mutiple modems over ethernet. place the modems outside to get great signal and just run ethernet to the router.
Hey cool! I was just looking into bonding internet connections and lo and behold the satellite guy comes out with a video just on cue about the same thing! LOL
Very cool! Contact me here for more info: contact@commandergateway.com
What a nice device. I can think of a ton of useful cases for this.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Awesome! Thanks for the video!!!
Glad you liked it!

you may want to look at the opensource project openmptcprouter. it does basicaly the same.
That`s a nice Router bro!
Nice video, this was awesome !
Glad you liked it!
i was just talking about this i had a portable set up like this a while back it was a tp link set up i could control it by phone it was a sweet set up unfortunately some one broke my window and stole it, i was great i had good wifi every were i went, as l0ng as i changed it or plugged it in great video as aiways
you can build a setup licke this relative cheap with openmptcprouter.
Really cool device. I would only need this for emergencies, but with a website button of Contact Sales, that means it’s expensive. In my situation, I couldn’t justify the price.
you can do the same for free with openMPTCProuter. use a raspberry, or any x64 machine (old laptop, pc, or firewall appliance) as the router.
as the remote server i use a cheap VPS.
i have 2 such systems. My home systems is using a vm on my server and 6 virtual nics, each in its own vlan, 5 nic's as wan, one as lan. the uplinks consist of 3 lte modems with an ethernet port, a wifi bridge to connect to my phone hotspot, and a dsl modem.
My portable system runs on an old firewall appliance with 8 nic's.
i use the same 3 lte modem on the go, and usb ethernet adapter to use phones with ethernet therthering (i run the uplinks trough poe switch and use poe to usb c pd adapter to charge the phones while ethernet therthering)
openmptcprouter does wan-bonding to and is free and opensource.
0:23 watching this in portrait mode on my phone and I thought the placemat was a plastic base for the unit. Looked like some kind of retro unit from the 60s or 70s. Maybe if you squint you'll see what I mean 😂
Have you considered trying the DIY route with some cheap VPS and OpenMCTCP router?
I believe if you use the built in speed test on the Mr net gateway menu it will give you different results,
Kind of like a indoor version of a LiveU set up.
Looks better than mofi
Someone send this to Reed Timmer!!
So even though you are routing through your WAN - it still tunnels through the AWS hosted concentrator (per the 2nd Speedtest) - right?
Yes, this is how seamless failover is achieved. Each connection is a tunnel back to the AWS cloud concentrator & VPN server. If your home internet provider, connected to the WAN, was to suddenly fail you traffic would seamlessly be transferred to the Cell modems without you even noticing.
@@peterfairlie2296 do you provide support for country blocking aws our you able deploy on another server this might be great for them too
@@thesmashtvnetwork with openmptcp router you can host the server wherever you want to.
I'm in the country and looking for my first work from home it job. Considering what kind of backup Internet solution i should get. 5g would be my go to but it's not available for home Internet yet (without bandwidth caps). Starlink is good but very expensive. Maybe another terrestrial wireless ISP like i have?
if you use openmptcprouter you can use any wan connection with ethernet (usb works to with many devices)
Was that a 4th sim inside the device
Interesting.. I don‘t like the remote node with a service provider as I‘d have to consider risks that apply just to them (availability, node security, their security (personal data), how to mitigate them failing..).
Probably one could build an open system based on similar hardware and freeBSD with a personal remote node (and risks associated with it).
Interesting nonetheless, I‘m familiar with such hardware. Not surprised with the latency either. It seems to be using three VPN connections over three data cellular connections and then tying it all together out on their node. OpenVPN isn’t snappy on such hardware too, I assume the ethernet connection is also on a peripheral connected to a different port of the CPU.
The modems seem to be on a shared bus connected to a different port of the CPU (like a USB hub). bandwidth on the bus tying in the modems would be shared and I‘d want to know how well the bus board performs under active RF situations.
The pigtail for Wifi seems ok for a semi-mobile situation. Does it have a metal case or is part of it plastic?
Whatever it is: Well done by the creator of it!
You seem to know what you're talking about. It's a metal case
I was wondering about that antenna taped to the inside of the box... This seems like the kind of device that would usually be in a metal case, not to mention what happens to that antenna if you get the internal battery?
I think that's an internal temperature monitoring thermistor
@@peterfairlie2296 It seems to be OrangePi Zero SBC, and that would be a WiFi antenna for it.
with openMPTCProuter you can use multiple 4G/5G modem with an ethernet port and connect them over ethernet to the router.
@@peterfairlie2296 Thermistor would make logical sense, but a thermistor on a PCP is smaller than a grain of rice. Also thermistors are not usually connected with coax. Last, most good battery packs have a thermistor packaged in the battery pack. Not that it can't be a thermistor, it just doesn't make sense to me.
So what is the cost of the device and the service?
I want to build something like this myself. Is this box some sort of white label box that can be ordered without modems or something?
cant remember the name because it was nearly 10 years ago, but we bought kit that was almost identical - we also bought the concentrator that we self hosted in our own datacentre. It allowed us to get a new office working before a fixed line was provisioned. Had a help
desk of about 30 people running of four 4g bonded lines (uk)
you can do it relative easy with openMPTCProuter.
@@eliotmansfield i do the same with a vps and openMPTCProuter
i personaly use openmptcprouter for this. it runs great and is free, exept the 4$/month for a vps.
I would like something like this

Hey great video! Where can I buy one of these?

Thanks! @@peterfairlie2296
if you dont have 2500$ to spend, openmptcprouter might be the better option.
You are in Canada, im in Canada, which data plan you buy and where ?
I dont understand how
MR NET provided the sims and data. They can take care of that part so you don't have to.
@@peterfairlie2296 ho cool, and you need to buy per country or its worldwide? Also in Canada we have the most expensive data in the world haha, what are the plans? How much $/GB ?
Does it do 5G/LTE as well as 4G?
Comes with 4G modems however there is no reason why you couldn't install 5G modems. 5G require 4 antennas vs 2 for 4G and this is likely why the box has those extra connector holes that are covered over. Contact me here for more info: contact@commandergateway.com
with openMPTCProuter you can use any modem with a lan port (usb the ones with only usb might wort to.)
How does routing work with 3 wans
the router opens a vpn tunnel over every wan connection to the concentrator (i think hosted in AWS in this case). Packets then get distributed over the vpn tunnels. this gets you more bandwith, but adds a bit of latency, because of processing and the longer route over aws.
What's your take on sim card 'swap' fraud, and the advent of e-sim tech?
I want one..

openMPTCProuter. it does the same and is opensource.
