This was a very cheep way to purchase this item, saving over 100£. However the item was very badly packed arriving in just a thin envelope with no protection at all. The pins on the power supply were bent and had to be carefully straightened out before use. The 2 antennas are useless and make no difference to the signal strength and in some cases reduce the signal . The unit however works very well. It managed to recognise the sim card and automatically registered onto the service provider with a couple of minutes. All the information regarding passwords etc is printed on the back of the unit including the software password. This is changeable when you open the program up. The software is simply and easy to use except the section regarding the USB inputs. When a USB device is connected it reads it but as yet I can't get my Macbook pro to access the device. There are no clear instructions about this with the unit. Performance of the router is excellent and I soon had a complete wit network with printer and smart phones all connected to the network. Range of the network is also excellent. I use the network on a computer streaming video over 50m from the base station. All in all, a good product, forget the antennas, hope it arrives on one piece!Read full review

This picks up the 4G signal extremely well. The 4G signal is always full in my house in this device, where as I usually get 1 or 2 bars less in my mobile all the time. So this is definetely powerful. I ordered the device with external antena, but never wanted to fix it as I always get the full signal even without it. However I have noticed, the speed is little slower than the mobile phone. I am using a Vodafone Data only SIM card in here. Highly recomend.

Not exactly future proof these days, but since everyone using 3/4g should be in remote areas without modern copper/cable/optical connections, this router will likely provide the best alternative that should be available at speeds that are a lot better than old copper dsl lines. I am currently using it in a 3g only setting (because the 4g I get is really weak in signal), and I get anywhere from 3 to 10mbps depending on the day, which is related to my provider being overloaded. The signal strength with the supplied Poynting antenna on a roof mast ranges from -70 to -77, about 15db improvement from a phone inside the house which only provides 1-3mbps! Furthermore, the internal antenna on the router is also decent, as it gets better signal than most phones. The router also has amazing options for stock firmware, especially the ability to restrict to only 3g, which as I said is a life saver for me since it would default to 4g which is really weak in my area. This actually works better than Android phone settings, since in android you only get to "prefer" 3g over 4g and the network will still have final say on what you use (in my case it always falls to 4g and worsens my signal). From this seller, I have to say: fast shipping, good comms and polite despite the mediocre english, and the packaging could be better. I didn't expect an original retail box, but A box would have been better than a bag for transporting sensitive electronics over land mail. The router arrived with a minor scuff which I'm 90% sure was from transit. But for the price of the router+antenna+cable+shipping combo, I can't really complain much.Read full review
