✅ What it offers

Here are the main features of the MW306R:

Single-band WiFi (2.4 GHz) up to 300 Mbps (Wireless N) — as per manufacturer. (Mercusys)

Three fixed external antennas (≈5 dBi each) to boost coverage. (SpeedGuide)

Multi-Mode functionality: supports Router mode, Range Extender mode, Access Point mode and WISP mode. (Mercusys)

Basic wired ports: 1 WAN + 3 LAN (10/100 Mbps) according to database. (SpeedGuide)

Additional features like Guest Network, Parental Controls, IPv6, etc (as claimed). (YouTube)

🎯 Real-World Performance & Usage

From reviews and user feedback:

Many users say it performs well for basic home usage (browsing, HD streaming) given the 300 Mbps spec. (Amazon Egypt)

Setup is reportedly straightforward via a web interface. (SpeedGuide)

In the Bangladesh market the router is marketed as a budget “single-band” solution, good for small apartments/houses. (YouTube)

Coverage wise, thanks to the three external antennas, it’s better than some ultra-budget routers — but still limited by single-band nature and 2.4 GHz interference.

👍 Strengths

Excellent value for money: you get a decent brand, external antennas, multi-mode support at a low cost.

Good for basic internet usage: streaming HD, browsing, online lectures, moderate device counts.

Flexible use: ability to switch modes (extender/AP/WISP) adds versatility.

Simple setup: less tech-savvy users will appreciate ease of installation.

👎 Weaknesses / Things to be aware of

Single-band only (2.4 GHz) → no 5 GHz support. So if you have high-speed internet (100+ Mbps) and many devices, you may hit performance limits or interference problems.

Wired ports are only Fast Ethernet (10/100) not Gigabit (10/100/1000), which limits wired network speed and future-proofing. Based on spec from database. (SpeedGuide)

In very large homes or homes with thick walls, the signal might not penetrate well — single band can struggle with interference and congestion (many devices or microwaves etc).

Being a budget brand (Mercusys is considered the budget sub-brand of TP-Link by some users) means firmware updates/support might not be as frequent as premium brands. A Reddit comment noted:

“Mercusys is a budget brand of TP-Link. I think I would choose TP-Link over it, they do not seem to be very well supported.” (Reddit)

If you anticipate needing high bandwidth, multiple streaming/gaming devices, or want future-proofing (WiFi 6/dual-band/mesh), you might need to look higher up.

🎯 Conclusion: Is it a good buy in Bangladesh?

If you are looking for a budget, basic home router in Bangladesh (e.g., for 30-50 Mbps internet, small apartment, moderate usage) then yes — the MW306R is a very good choice given its price / feature balance.

However, if your requirements are more demanding (100+ Mbps internet, many smart home devices, heavy online gaming, future proofing), then you may want to look for a dual-band (2.4 + 5 GHz) or WiFi 6 router with gigabit ports.

🔍 Recommendation Summary

Use case fits well: small to medium home, standard internet usage, moderate devices.

Better to upgrade if: you have high speed internet (≥100 Mbps), streaming/gaming heavy usage, many devices, thick-walled large house.

Budget wise: great value for money.

Support/firmware: may not be top tier, check warranty and update policy locally.
