FAQs
What is automatic WAN failover and how does it help?
Automatic WAN failover switches the router to a backup connection if the primary WAN link drops. In the RUT281, this keeps your devices and systems online during network outages or transitions, critical for remote industrial sites and IoT applications.
What is the difference between SIM and eSIM on the RUT281?
The RUT281 supports both physical SIM cards and embedded SIM (eSIM). eSIM allows remote profile provisioning without physically inserting a card, ideal for deployments where physical access is difficult. eSIM bootstrap simplifies initial profile download.
Can I use two SIM cards simultaneously?
The RUT281 supports dual SIM and eSIM, giving you multiple carrier options and failover capabilities. Consult the product documentation or Teltonika support for specific dual-SIM usage modes and load-balancing options.
Is the power supply included?
Yes, a 9W PSU is included in the standard package, along with antennas, Ethernet cable, and SIM adapters. The router is ready to deploy without additional power supply purchases.
What antenna types are included?
The RUT281 includes 2 × swivel mobile antennas (SMA male) for LTE connectivity and 1 × swivel Wi-Fi antenna (RP-SMA male). All are removable and can be upgraded or repositioned for optimal signal strength.
Is the RUT281 suitable for outdoor installations?
The RUT281 is an industrial-grade router designed for demanding environments. For outdoor installations, appropriate weatherproof enclosures and outdoor-rated antennas should be used. Consult product specifications or Teltonika for outdoor environmental ratings.
How long is the warranty?
The Teltonika RUT281 comes with a 24-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
