Ideal for situations where a landline isn't possible
Bought this for internet access including LAN ports in a shop with no landline available. It works perfectly, currently giving 30Mb/s download and over 20Mb/s upload on a solid 4 bar 4G signal on giffgaff (O2 network). I've also tried it on 3 and EE (both on 3G) where it gave a fairly comfortable 10- 15 Mb/s download on our local signal. It happily switches networks automatically on a SIM card change without needing to manually change APNs. The router has a built in SIP client for VoIP which I believe can be used with one of the built-in telephone jacks. I haven't tried that as I have a dedicated VoIP handset running on one of the LAN ports. Giving it a fixed IP and putting it in the DMZ allowed easier setup than port forwarding through the firewall. The second phone jack can accept a normal landline phone to use any call time available on your SIM card. With my Giffgaff card that gives 6Gb of tethered data, 1000 minutes and unlimited texts available for £15 a month and you can re-start at any time if you run out of one of the allowances early. When making or receiving calls on the SIM card the router drops gracefully to 3G and returns to 4G (if available) once the call ends. Basic texts are available to send and receive from the web interface page, but it doesn't handle MMS messaging. There are facilities to forward texts on a schedule but I haven't needed to try that so have no idea how well it works. I also haven't tested whether texts will be passed through to a suitable SMS handset on the phone sockets. On the WiFi side, the router allows 4 separate APs with different names and passwords and plenty of control of devices using black- or white-lists if required. I've not needed to test out WiFi range because of the situation I'm using it in but have no reason to think it would be an issue given the thought that's obviously gone into the rest of the unit. One feature it doesn't seem to have is the ability to limit speed, data volume, or traffic types on individual APs, which would be a nice touch for a "guest" network. Similarly, a dual SIM facility would be a nice touch given the (un)reliability of UK networks in many places, but switching SIMs if needed is as simple as turn off, swap cards, turn on again, so that's certainly not a big omission. Besides, expecting full enterprise functionality from a £50 solution like this is probably a bit much! Overall, this is a decent quality router with good speed, good stability, and plenty of connection options. In basic use it's as user friendly as anyone could expect and has a reasonable range of more advanced features if you need them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A good router does what it does.
This is probably the best value cat 4 LTE 4g router out there and you should be able to get it at a target price of fifty GBP. You need to check that the network you are on is not capable of cat 6 2ca or twin radio advanced LTE as this only has one radio. If you have the faster LTE in your area you need a more advanced router than this or you'll be missing out on faster speeds, remember you should bottleneck the speed at the exchange not on your router. The only disadvantage over an EE osprey is that its a static connection you shouldn't be inserting and removing a sim from this router to get portability. If you want to take your connection with you get an osprey not this. I get 30mbps and it's very fast streams russian pl football streams very smoothlyVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great
I bought this router as I had heard that this model is one of the best for a stable connection. I can confirm this to be the case. It also is pretty sensitive so it picks up a weak signal. On my Samsung Galaxy S6, I can't even get a 4g signal at all at my house. However with this router and using the supplied lollipop stick antennae, it gets a stable 2 bars of 4g. I'm planning to fit a mimo log antenna outside to improve the signal even more and hopefully increase download speeds.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very Good Value
This unit is perfect if your BT ADSL is useless but you can get a bit of 4G mobile signal. We are pretty remote but luckily can see one mobile mast so, with an all-you-can-eat sim card from Three, home broadband is sorted. Speed is 20Mb down and 10Mb up which is a bit slower than EE but EE is more expensive for data. We use an external antenna but it works ok with the small antennae supplied. Plenty of options as a wifi router and works with VOIP. Newer faster units are available but this one suits at the moment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

a whole different animal to the minis
4g Mini wifi useless here, the B593 got better-than-BT landline speed in a 1 bar area using own rabbit ear antennas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
