Hikvision DS-3WR4G3N 4G LTE Wi-Fi Router: Instant Internet Anywhere You Have Signal
Not every location has a fibre line running past it. Construction sites, farm offices, backup premises during load shedding, pop-up retail stands, security guard rooms, remote CCTV installations: all of these need internet, and none of them should have to wait six weeks for an ISP installation. The Hikvision DS-3WR4G3N turns a SIM card into a fully functional Wi-Fi network in under five minutes. Slot in a nano SIM, plug in the power adaptor, and you have a 300 Mbps wireless network broadcasting to every device in range.
The router connects to 4G LTE CAT.4 mobile networks with theoretical speeds of 150 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up, which is more than enough bandwidth for IP camera streaming, email, point-of-sale terminals, and general browsing across multiple connected devices. It supports FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, and WCDMA (3G) bands covering the frequencies used by all major South African mobile carriers, so compatibility is not a guessing game. Two external 4G/3G antennas can be repositioned for the best possible signal in your specific environment.
On the Wi-Fi side, the router broadcasts on 2.4 GHz using 802.11 b/g/n with 2×2 MIMO support and transmit power up to 20 dBm. Two internal Wi-Fi antennas handle the local wireless distribution. For wired connections, there are two RJ45 ports (10/100 Mbps) on the back, which is useful for connecting a desktop PC, a VoIP phone, or feeding a network switch in a small office setup.
The router operates in three modes. In 3G/4G route mode, it uses the SIM card as the primary internet source. In wireless router mode, you plug an existing wired connection into the WAN port and the unit distributes it over Wi-Fi. In AP mode, it extends an existing network wirelessly. That flexibility means the router adapts as your connectivity situation changes rather than becoming redundant.
Network management runs through a simple web-based interface where you can configure a guest network to keep visitor traffic separated from your main devices, set up a Wi-Fi schedule to disable the network during off-hours, and adjust signal strength to suit the size of your space. Security covers WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption with the option to hide your SSID from public scanning.
Physically, the unit is compact at 126 × 97 × 42 mm, weighs just 365 grams, and sits flat on a desk or shelf. Power draw stays under 6 W from the included 9V 0.6A adaptor, low enough to run off a small UPS for hours during an outage. Front-facing LED indicators show internet status, Wi-Fi activity, LAN connection, and a three-bar signal strength readout for the mobile connection at a glance.
