Great so far!
I was looking for an internet solution for my caravan and after a lot of research and deliberation I settled on this product.It is so easy to set up and it works a treat. I also bought a poynting Mimo 3 aerial to use with it but so far haven't needed it.Just the router on its own picks up a decent signal for all 5 of us to use a variety of devices with no lag.I have read that others have had theirs fail after a few months and poor customer service but for me I am very impressed so far.Very pleased and would recommend.

Very nice device, really bad customer support from Huawei
This is the second device I got because I have returned the first one. After checking around the price and performant of this 4G router I decided to order it again. However, quickly I discovered the same problem as my first router. If I plug into the LAN4/WAN port the data sim will not work. the rest of the LAN ports are ok.So I avoided to use LAN4/WAN port and at the same time asked Huawei technical support. They only asked me to reset the router and of course it do not help. Then they even asked me to contact the sim company as said it is something to do with them!With my common sense, the LAN4/WAN could be used as a WAN port and or a LAN port. It must be a setting in the router to tell them I only use it as LAN but not WAN so the data sim would not affected.The Huawei technical support was stupid enough and or without any technical knowledge and now even asking me to send the device to them for repair!At that time I was consider to send back the device to Amazon once again!However, lucky enough I discovered there is a setting in the router to set all ports use a LAN only. Now I could use up all 4 ports and there is no further problem.The router is a good router and give me a high speed of internet via 4G. The customer service from Huawei, I have to say they are really bad and if keep on doing that may run out of business!

Working fine so far
Was thinking three days but only two days to be delivered, picked it up from amazon locker. Plugged the sim in then scanned the QR code, Plugged in the router it came on after a few minutes all the lights lit up, connected to my phone, no problems. I have used dongles before and but this one by far is the best so far. Speed test on average 45 Mbps download and 15 Mbps upload I tried a few websites, one website said signal was strong and can see no problems π. Worked straight out of the box, recommend this one π πOnly thing should of had the antenna in the box and not buy separately.

An honest review *updated at the end
I bought this with the idea of cutting my internet costs, using an unlimited sim deal. ( Three )I have to say this for me works pretty well, like any modem I have found myself having to reboot it a couple of times already. one of those was more a loss of servie to be fair, I have the following wifi items connected, one amazon echo 2nd gen, two plug in blink cameras, one ring doorbell, my iphone, also have a ps4 and a laptop connected via Ethernet ( Hardwire ) handles everything very well. you get faster speeds for sure with Hardwire. ... You are able to access your sim card text messages, you have the option to forward them to another phone, you can get delivery reports as well if you put your number into the space provided as the delivery report would be forwarded if adding external aerials you have the option to have it set to internal /ext.ernal.. you can also change the password and the router id, i recommend you change the modem name and password, it is not hard to guess the password being admin when you clearly see the make of the modem. in the wifi list. and you are legally responsible for anything and anyone that connects to it. ( I speak for those in the uk only as I do not know the laws on this in other parts of the world ) I have tried to cover what i consider to be the basic points, nothing to technical here from me.. I am more a plug in and go person, if works for me. Thank you for taking time out to read my review. *Update.. after using this modem for a while and now as my only form of home internet, I wish to offer a little advice on how to boost your speeds, no1 on your network settings, change this from auto and select 4g only and save, no2,,, antenna.. select internal antenna if using internal and save. this for me has added around 30 meg download speed, I hope this helps in getting better speeds, please do remember, poor signal very much reduces the quality of speed for most. as for the included smarty sim card just to let you know. the company ( Smarty ) is owned by the three network.. after further research, it would seem you will not be able to use the phone connection for making and receiving calls ( UK )again many thanks for reading ..take care.. Shaun.

Broadband without a landline
I used this for a cottage with no landline and no mobile signal inside due to weak signal in the area and thick stone walls. I also used an external twin feed external aerial mounted on a pole on the chimney stack. Got a reception of 3 out of 5 bars. The external aerial is not recommended by the manufacturer presumably because static or lightning picked up by the aerial could damage the electronics. You could fit surge arresters to the aerial input but there will be some signal loss. Also if you have a weak signal, the router needs to be as close to the aerial as possible. In my case in the attic, as aerial cable has a large significant loss of signal per metre.This router gives a RJ45 and wifi output from a 4G mobile signal. The wifi reached the two floors of the cottage. Although not fast, it is still adequate for standard websites/internet use. My setup is marginal for video/streaming use. It is also far cheaper than a landline broadband as once you've bought this kit and an aerial (if you need one), the only cost is the use of a simcard. This will be from Β£6 - Β£10 / month or for low users you can use PAYG. In my case, in weak signal areas, you need to determine what signal is availble when buying a sim card as for me EE and 3 were available but O2 and vodafone were not.
