The Teltonika RUT240 is end-of-life, and its replacement is the RUT241: same job, same single-SIM 4G LTE Cat 4 role, with a faster processor, double the RAM and ongoing firmware support. Resilient Tec sells the new Teltonika RUT241 for $237.00. Here is what changed, what didn't, and what to check before you swap one in.
Short answer
The RUT241 replaces the RUT240 — $237.00 at Resilient Tec
| Model | Part number | Price at Resilient Tec |
|---|---|---|
| Teltonika RUT241 | RUT241098000 | $237.00 |
Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika RUT241 (RUT241098000), a compact single-SIM 4G LTE Cat 4 router, for $237.00. Prices checked October 26, 2026.
Why replace a working RUT240?
Mostly firmware. Teltonika has listed the RUT240 as end-of-life for well over a year, and its own staff recommend moving to the RUT241 to keep receiving RutOS updates. For a cellular router sitting on the public internet, security patches are the reason to move, not speed.
RUT240 vs RUT241 at a glance
| RUT240 | RUT241 | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | End-of-life | Current |
| Processor | Qualcomm Atheros, 400 MHz | MediaTek, 580 MHz |
| RAM | 64 MB | 128 MB |
| Cellular | 4G LTE Cat 4 | 4G LTE Cat 4 |
| Firmware | RutOS | RutOS, still updated |
| Price at Resilient Tec | — | $237.00 |
The extra RAM matters more than it sounds. Teltonika staff note it is what lets the RUT241 run several services at once — a VPN tunnel, RMS remote management and a firewall ruleset together — without the memory pressure older units hit.
Is it a drop-in replacement?
In role, yes: one SIM, one WAN port, one LAN port, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, managed in the same RutOS interface and the same RMS cloud platform. Plan the swap as a reconfiguration rather than restoring a RUT240 backup file onto the new hardware. Before you go to site:
- Write down the RUT240's settings — APN, port forwards, VPN keys, firewall rules, static leases.
- Check antennas and mounting against the new unit before you're on a ladder.
- Don't plan on serial. The RUT241 has no serial port, so serial-dependent features such as NTRIP aren't available on it. If your site needs serial, the RUT956 ($327.00) is the model with RS232/RS485.
Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika RUT241 (RUT241098000), a compact single-SIM 4G LTE Cat 4 router, for $237.00.
When the RUT241 isn't the right replacement
If the RUT240 was barely coping, a like-for-like swap keeps the same limits. Two common upgrades:
- Need a second carrier for backup? The RUT241 takes one SIM. The RUT951 takes two and fails over between them. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika RUT951 (RUT951A00800), a dual-SIM 4G LTE Cat 4 router with 4 Ethernet ports, for $294.00.
- Need more LAN ports? The RUT951 also gives you four Ethernet ports instead of two.
Replacing a RUT950 or RUT955 instead? Those map to the RUT951 and RUT956 — see the Teltonika Router & Switch Selector.
