HUAWEI E5332 E5332s-2 3G Mobile WiFi Hotspot Review

As the sister model of HUAWEI E5331 Mobile WiFi, Huawei E5332 may not as popular as Huawei E5331, in our opinion, Huawei E5332 may be better than E5331. Today, let have a look at this new 3G pocket WiFi.

When we first get the package box of Huawei E5332, we feel it weights more than E5331. And the box is bigger than the latter. We are thinking what’s in the box and cause the weight difference. In our memory, in the box of Huawei E5331, there is only E5331 device, one short USB cable and a battery. When we open the box of Huawei E5332, we could see the E5332 device is in a small plastic protective bag.

Removing the paper plat, the packaged contents are listed at the bottom of the box: on black power adapter, user manual guide, safety information paper, one battery and one short USB cable. The power adapter should be the key which cause the weight difference. Actually, the weight is not that important, the users concern more about the application and convenience brought from Huawei E5332.

Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi is also in pocket size like E5331, but it’s thicker than E5331 at the body side. Huawei E5332 should use the same module as Huawei E5756 mobile WiFi, we suppose.

Following the simple design of Huawei E5331, the Huawei E5332 also has one button for operation, mainly for power on and off. Beside the power button, there is a LED indicator where we can see the Huawei logo, signal strength and connection status, message information and remaining battery.

The USB interface is at the body side, close to the USB interface, it’s an external antenna connector. The connector is covered by a protective cap.

And we open the back cover; we can the SIM card slot, model stick. The stick information on the image below:

But there is no Micro SD memory card slot in Huawei E5332. We found there is a reset button at the inner side of the body. It’s to set the device to factory default.

After the SIM card plug into the slot, put the battery in the body. Then power on the Huawei E5332, the LED indicator will shine to indicate the connection status. On the inner part of back cover, there is the SSID and WiFi password information.

After your WiFi device gets connected with Huawei E5332, then you can surf Internet and don’t meet any settings. HUAWEI E5332 Mobile WiFi is a good pocket WiFi for surfing.

Two Recommended HUAWEI Mobile Power Bank

Most of people know that HUAWEI is a professional wireless gadgets supplier, but few people know that HUAWEI also produce mobile power bank. You may be curious that what power bank that HUAWEI could supply. Of course, as the world’s top telecom equipments supplier, HUAWEI would not supply the common kinds of colorful power bank in the market.

Considering the great volume of gadgets that are already at the users’ hands, HUAWEI wants to find a resolution for its mobile terminals about continuous power supply. So it’s necessary to recommend HUAWEI new power bank so that users could get better experience and keep surfing without any interruption.

HUAWEI Charger Partner — 5200mAh Mobile Power Bank (CEB-Li01-5200 mAh)

As we know, HUAWEI only released this charger partner at the battery capacity of 5200 mAh. It should be based on the consideration that the usual HUAWEI mobile Smartphone and mobile WiFi incorporates the battery around 2500mAh, so it’s better for a power bank to give one device twice support after one time power charge. With this capacity, the cost of battery is acceptable and easy to take for users.

This power bank could use as flashlight. With only 200g weight, it’s easy to take in hand or pocket. With a mini USB connector, it could support two devices to charge power simultaneously. And the USB could use for most of the mobile Android phones, tablets and mobile WiFi hotspots.

Somebody may ask, here now I don’t have a mobile WiFi, but I do need a mobile WiFi and power bank 2 in 1, is there a device have this function? The answer is yes. HUAWEI had focused on the demand from customers, so they released a new mobile WiFi and power bank 2 in 1 gadgets, the model number is HUAWEI E5756:

HUAWEI E5756 Mobile WiFi and Power Bank 2 in 1

HUAWEI E5756 has the basic function as a HSPA+ mobile pocket WiFi to support up to 5 users to share the wireless network. The peak download speed could reach 42Mbps and this is the fastest 3G download speed that a mobile gadget could reach. Then the extra function as a mobile power bank, HUAWEI E5756s-2 could not only give Android phones, tablets and other mobile terminals power supply, it could also extend itself usage time.

Based on HUAWEI quality and HUAWEI brand, the two batteries are very popular and reliable, so if you want to buy a qualified battery charger partner or mobile power, you could take the two batteries into consideration.

What’s the difference between HUAWEI E5331 and HUAWEI E5220?

At the beginning of 2013, we found Huawei released a new pocket WiFi on CES 2013. At the first sit when we see it, we thought it was Huawei E5331 3G 21Mbps Mobile WiFi, because from the outside appearance, it’s completely the same as Huawei E5331.

However, after we read the specifications on the stick, we got to know we are wrong. It’s the new mobile WiFi hotspot Huawei E5220. Then here comes a question: why did Huawei release a same model with different name?

On the stick beside the demo of Huawei E5220, we read that Huawei E5220 supports single, dual or triple UMTS bands by its variant model. This feature is also specified on Huawei E5331. Huawei E5220 supports maximum download speed up to 21.6mbps, and upload speed to 5.76Mbps. It’s also the same as E5331.

The key feature of Huawei E5220 should be the link time. It says Huawei E5220 could network in 5 seconds with HiLink technology. HiLink is a new user-friendly system that users don’t need install any software or setup any parameters, once the device with HiLink technology connects the supported gadgets, the gadgets can then start surfing freely.

It’s obvious that this system brings much convenience for customers and save much time. Take a example, in the past, if you use Huawei E372 and plug it to PC, it would take around 1 or 2 minutes to install the driver in the modem; after driver installed to PC, you need to setup the parameters, such as Profile, APN, dial number etc… and if there is something wrong in the settings, you may can’t get connected to Internet. With HiLink technology, it would completely change this situation, once you plug the Huawei E3251 HiLink USB stick to PC, the PC then get connected in 5 seconds, no driver installation, no setup. And you can manage the modem through Web UI.

Huawei E5220 also follows this rule. After the WiFi enabled devices get connected to E5220, they can surf in 5 seconds, or slower in 10 seconds. No setup and driver are needed. In our opinion, this should be the revolution for this new pocket WiFi.

What’s more, Huawei E5220 supports maximum 10 users to share the network while Huawei E5331 supports 8 users. From the above two upgraded features, we can see Huawei E5220 has different system from E5331 and it also improve the user experience and functions.

Huawei E5331 Mobile WiFi Hotspot Test Report

Mobile hotspots are now very popular and we have a favorable time and new model for a test: the Huawei E5331 Mobile WiFi. The small wireless router comes in a compact package, in addition to the device itself, there is only the powerful 1500mAh battery and a small USB cable included for charging. An AC adapter for charging directly at the outlet does not packed in the box.

After unpacking, if you have only the SIM card (Normal standard size) and insert the battery, then you can turn on the Huawei E5331. The HUAWEI E5331 has a LED display screen, after a few seconds to light up a few status LEDs on the front, HUAWEI E5331 will start working. At far left is a reception display, next to the light for the wireless network and an indication of the battery charge. On the far right there is a message icon that indicates new SMS.

After the first start you have to connect via Wi-Fi with the Huawei E5331, by the way, more than 8 devices can be connected via Wi-Fi. The password for the wireless network is located under the battery in the device, you should write down the code before E5331 begins operation. After a short search network, the modem automatically selects in the mobile network – certain settings such as the APN to be incurred only in exceptional cases, in most cases, no configuration is required by the user.

The reception in the UMTS and GSM operation is pretty good, and definitely better than many cell phones. In the UMTS network, HSPA + data rates of up to 21.6 Mbit/s are possible, and I was able to reach a maximum of 17 MBit/s downstream and 4 Mbit/s upload in the telecom network, so what are already quite good values! Upon request, the Huawei E5331 menu also allows to “3G only” switch, so that even if the signal is weak is always the UMTS network is selected and not a throwback to the slow EDGE / GPRS.

The battery life is about 5 hours of continuous use, requiring the E5331 for about 2 hours at the outlet (or on the computer, if you have a USB charger). All in all, the Huawei E5331 Mobile MiFi router makes a very good impression and for the price of around 99 US dollar without contract and SIM definitely unlocked.

Should You Buy Huawei B683 or Huawei B593?

These days, we found some customers are in trouble of how to Choose the wireless router between Huawei B683 and B593?

Frankly speaking, it’s a good question for those users who are committed to Huawei brand. Based on reliable quality and performance in network connection, Huawei routers had crashed to CISCO WLAN routers to some extent.

Then how to determine which router among Huawei routers? Take Huawei B683 and B593 as example, which one is better? For most users who want to buy router, the question should be “which one is appropriate?”

To answer “which one is better” is easy; Huawei B593 is 4G LTE CPE which supports maximum download speed up to 100 Mbps and 50Mbps at uplink. With latest new technology, users could surf at revolutionary speed without latency. The two MIMO antennas can help B593 to reach the fastest possible speed.

However, Huawei B683 3G Wireless Router could only run on 3G UMTS and 2G network, it can’t work with 4G LTE network. And the maximum speed could reach only 28.8Mbps, which is only a quarter of speed from B593. There is only one external antenna connector on Huawei B683. So there is no doubt that Huawei B593 is much better than Huawei B683.

But should you buy Huawei B593 rather than Huawei B683？As the professional consult in wireless solution, the writer suggests users should have a second thought and the decision depends.

If you buy the router for SOHO, home or office, in most of cases, Huawei B683 is enough to support the Internet activities based on the current 3G network. According to the practical test for 4G LTE CPE HUAWEI B593, the peak speed can’t reach 35Mbps with good network environment under LTE network. And to use new 4G service, the service fee is not at the similar price as 3G.

There is no doubt that HUAWEI B593 LTE CPE would finally replace HUAWEI B683 Wireless Router. From a long-term point of view, 4G LTE network will become common. Since the LTE is just at the beginning, for the users concerning about the cost, HUAWEI B683 would be appropriate for current usage.

If you need router for the wireless network solution in a project, concerning the future network upgrade and function is more important than cost, HUAWEI B593 LTE CPE should be the first option. This LTE CPE B593 is born to meet the industrial applications after time and time test.

Above is my opinion for user’s reference, if you need them, you could check the site www.4gltemall.com for unlocked routers.
