Solid broadband connection

Before buying this I had been using my mobile phone as a Wi-Fi hot spot. The Huawei gives over twice the speed on upload and download (20 MB/s vs under 10 in my location) and a far more stable signal. I found the supplied external aerials made no difference.
It's easy to set up and didn't really require much more than switching on. The only thing that flummoxed me was that the instructions said that the username and password were on the back of the router. They weren't but Google came to rescue. I also couldn't get the WPS key to work but that is a minor problem.
It is solidly built and seems good quality. My only suggestion is that as it is all white, it would have been nice if they had provided a white PSU to go with it but, again, a first-world problem. Overall, I'm very happy as it does its core function very well. We now have multiple devices connected via Wi-Fi and the internet connection is much faster and more stable than before.

Disappointing - Spoilt for a ha'porth of tar!

The router boasts VOIP and has 2 telephone outlets yet it has not been possible to register with a SIP account. Despite two phone sockets the software limits the device to a single registration. The softeware is slow to respond and provides a limited menu so it is not possible to adjust many settings. It is not possible to change the internal IP address.

The basic functions of the router work OK however; instructions are poor with very poor online support.

Might be better if one could change the firmware for a more user friendly version.

Good product

I'm 9.65 Km from the cell so had to connect 11 dbi log periodic antennas to boost the signal.

Now getting 30-60 Mbps reliably, including Openvpn.

I don't use the wifi side so I can't comment.

Keep antenna cables as short as possible, mine are about 100 cm.

Without external antennas it was still OK at 20-50 Mbps.

Huawei 4g Router

Good quality, plug n play device. Connected to an external aerial out performs my fixed line broadband by a factor of 2 to 3.

Although t wasn't grade A it looked lke a new product. It worked rght out of the box on my windowsill and gave a reasonable signal in a dead area in the countryside. Very pleased wth this so far
