B311 2020, CAT 4, 4G/ LTE 150 Mbps Mobile Wi-Fi Router, Unlocked to All Networks- Genuine UK Warranty STOCK (Non Network Logo)- White

I'm on a tight budget being homeless in temporary accommodation in a place with terrible reception and I was lucky to get 200kbps tethering my phone to my laptop if I crawled on to the kitchen counter and had the phone out of the window. I couldn't afford broadband and am not allowed to get it installed in the building anyway not to mention being tied i n to a contract is a bad idea when your circumstances are unstable. I got this not realising it came with a Smarty SIM and already activated a £25 GiffGaff plan before it arrived which I got 0.5-3mbps down on during the day and a max of 10mbps in the early hours. At first I thought maybe its because I bought a cheap router with a cheap antenna GiffGaff suggested it was my device and even asked me 'if I had data turned on'... No, it was the SIM not the router. The Smarty SIM suggested is far superior! I'm getting 34.3mbps down and 5.11 up last time I checked. I also switched my phone over to Smarty so my broadband and phone cost £23.40 altogether with the group plan discount. I am astounded at the speeds and coverage possible with a combination of this device and plan. It was well worth the investment even with how tight everything is for me right now as I can access services, read maps of the local area as I'm totally unfamiliar with it, correspond with the council regarding my housing situation, order my prescriptions, pay bills and find ways to earn money online now. I'm getting better speeds and a more stable reliable connection than I've previously experienced with Virgin Media, BT etc and you are free to just not pay for it when you don't need it or can't afford to on a one month rolling contract. You can easily set it up anywhere. It's a minimalistically designed, sleek little thing. Obviously made of light plastic but as one of the cheapest devices of its type on the market, I am certainly not complaining. I'd be lost without it.

Brilliant compact router, got it up and running in less than 5 minutes. Just plugged it in, inserted the sim, and I was online. I live in a rural area in a valley where the signal via a landline is terrible, with regular outage. I have been using this router for about 3 days now, and I have a solid 2 bar signal, sometimes 3 bars. This router is tucked away on the far side of my lounge at present, maybe if I reposition it nearer the window I may get the full 3 bars, however the upload/download speeds, and browsing speed is fine for my needs. One small niggle, the main lead is relatively short, which restricts how far you can move the router from the Power socket. Not big deal, I will make up an extension cable. I am using the Smarty no contact, unlimited data package which is costing me £18 a month (Group Plan) as I also have Smarty as my mobile phone provider. So now I have a decent broadband connection, and saving myself £20 a month by leaving my previous ISP.

I bought this because my new house is not serviced by any of the major internet providers. For the most part, 4G is enough for what I do (basic video streaming & office work). It has allowed me to connect all of my smart devices, and was substantially cheaper than the alternatives. I also think it looks great (for a router). Performance is adequate. But beware - this only has one LAN port and so I felt the need to buy an Ethernet switch in addition.

Have had the older model before and it was excellent, this one the same . Really easy set up added bonus was enclosed Smarty SIM . The telephone port works well just plug a phone in with an RJ 11 adapter. So our caravan now has its own broadband and telephone . Great value

After getting thoroughly fed up having to pay a line rental for broadband I decided to get one of these and try it myself; no contract to be tied into either. Perhaps I’ve just been lucky but the smarty sim that was included, I tried and find it to be perfectly adequate for my needs. My internet speed is usually above 10 Mbps so it’s fine for Netflix etc. Do your homework with reception/signal before you get a data sim. Plus point for this model, Ethernet connection which allows me to hard wire to my desktop PC. My Amazon Echo in the other room works absolutely fine with this router. I wish I had got one of these ages ago.

When we first moved in there wasn't any good broadband here. The deals for our house were at something like £20 for 4mb? It was shockingly awful and we almost went for it. It seemed like everyone else around us did too. At least it's reliable. I was looking for other options though and thought, maybe we should try this instead. Wasn't really sure if we were wasting our money but the other option is just horrible. The router came with a smarty SIM card which costs £20 a month with no contract! I thought that was pretty good for unlimited data. Still wasn't sure about it but after using it for like 3 months now it's worked extremely well. We are both happily streaming stuff, playing music on Spotify, watching stuff on YouTube. I didn't have much hope for it but it's definitely so much better than I thought it could be. I would say if you're a gamer it's a little bit annoying, because that's when it gets laggy. If you like to play competitive matches then I would say hold out until you get stronger, more reliable broadband. Other than that I've been really happy with it. My boyfriend still games on his pc, and sometimes he says it works really well while other days his ping is really high. If your only choice is crappy broadband, definitely get this! If you don't do any gaming this would save you a lot of money. You really don't need expensive internet if you're not gaming. You can take this on holiday too and swap SIM cards if you need different coverage - but don't use your phone SIM, it'll mess it up. A lot of them do free data abroad now (not that anyone's going abroad because of corona, but still something to think about). Just make sure to check your network coverage first. Here, luckily 3 is the strongest (which is what smarty uses) whereas Tesco for example uses the O2 network. So make sure to get the right SIM card. I actually originally had issues with putting the sim card in. I had been drugged at the dentist though and may have been a bit wacky. I'm usually good with techy stuff, but didn't see the metal bit for the sim card slot. So make sure to slide it in underneath! It's been great other than me not putting the sim card in properly. Wifi strength is great on this floor, but a bit weak downstairs. We're usually on our computers up here only though. Am thankful it worked so well, was worried it was a bit of a risk. But it isn't, works amazingly well for a couple and still does gaming.

Everything was ok before i bought my NAS, when I start to transfer files after few min conection drop, this is happen alway, I test with diferen router model, everything was ok. I try to get support, but nothing, they said we will call you on Monday nothing yet. Don't waste you money. Buy some better model. This is rubbish.

This router is very easy to use - I didn't even have to read the manual. All the information you need is on a sticker attached to the device. Can't really comment on the range unfortunately, as I'm only using it for devices within the same room. If your SIM is provided directly by the network (i.e. O2 / Three / EE / Vodafone), it appears that it will automatically detect the settings, so it's as simple as putting a new SIM card in, reboot it and the new SIM will be detected and off you go. This is also true for some "mobile virtual network operators" (MVNO's) that I tried - such as Smarty (Three) and Lebara (Vodafone). However, for some MVNO's, particularly the ones using O2's network, you may need to enter the settings manually. In my experience, this is true for Lycamobile and GiffGaff at least. The APN settings I needed were easy enough to find online. So if you are looking for a mains powered 4G router to provide you with internet via a SIM card, I recommend this one. Best to check 4G coverage in your area first though, as you will want to go with the network that is best in your location. Once you've decided whether O2 / Three / EE / Vodafone is best for you, search Google for "List of United Kingdom mobile virtual network operators" and it should direct you to a Wikipedia page where you can see all the MVNO's available and sort them by host network - there are much better deals to be had from an MVNO if you only want data.

الان كملت سنتين ونص تقريبا من الاستعمال صراحةً ماقصر معي كان جدا جميل ونقلني نقلة نوعية لاني سابقا اعتمد على راوترات متنقلة اذا جيت العب، عيبه انه احيانا مايشتغل الا الايثرنت، واحيانا الراوتر بشكل عام تجيه فترات يضعف والحل انك تسوي له ريستارت لين مايوصل مرحلة انه حتى زر الريستارت مايشتغل ما انصح به الا للناس اللي بمحافظات ماتدعم الفايف جي او الفور جي بلس، اذا منطقتك تدعمه انصحك تدور غيره بالنهاية شكرا يالهواوي حقي ماقصرت RIP 2022-2025

ماشاءالله

المودم لابأس فيه السرعة لاتتعدى 10 ميجا وفية تقطيع احياناً العيب الوحيد عدم وجود أنتل لتقوية الاتصال مادري يجي مع المودم أو يكون قطعة اضافية

فخم جدا بس لو يطورونه

سيئ وبطيئ
