Technology

 

From the appearance, it’s hard to find differences with the B2000. On the front body, there is Vodafone logo, however, on the back stock, we can find the it’s based on the new version of the B593 from Huawei, the label indicates the model is B593s-22. The most important innovation: The LTE modem can now also handle LTE category 4. Therefore, theoretically it can achieve data rates of 150Mbps. However, LTE CAT4 is currently only available in urban centers, i.e big cities with over 100 thousand residents.

Unfortunately, Wi-Fi with AC standard is not yet on the list of specifications. Users must therefore continue to take a maximum of 802.11n to be surf. What’s more, the B3000 provides 4 LAN ports on the back along with 2 USB ports.

 

Telephone and reception

 

Through two RJ11 jacks, analog telephones can be operated via VOIP. A SIP client is integrated. Since IP telephone with LTE for home is not a shortcoming, demanding users will however still rather resort to a Fritz box, as regards this point. In terms of wireless network compatibility, the B3000 could support all major LTE bands in Europe, including LTE FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz and TDD 2600MHz.

 

In addition, of course, it would work well with all relevant 3G and 2G predecessor standards, including the 3G data turbo DC-HSDPA+, which allowed data rates of up to 42.2 Mbit/s. The Vodafone B3000 doesn’t have SIM lock, so it can be used to beyond Germany or user can change provider to other network operators.

Availability

The first New customers will receive the B3000 since about April 2014. Now the Vodafone B3000 is available on www.4gltemall.com at good price. Since it’s already one year, here now there are more new LTE wireless routers available with new features, such as Vodafone B4000, Huawei E5186. If you want a router with future proof, you can check more details about the new LTE category routers.

Huawei E5786

 

The Chinese manufacturer Huawei introduced the world’s first MiFi router E5786 for LTE-Advanced at the Mobile World Congress in February 2014. The E5786 should be the first mobile router with support for LTE CAT6. But the rival ZTE has a similar device called “ZTE Flare”. This seems at higher quality than the counterpart of Huawei.

 

 

LTE-Advanced Router

 

As already indicated, Huawei E5786 is the first LTE-Advanced equipment with Category 6(CAT6). The current LTE networks comply with category 3 and 4 (CAT 3/4), which take 100-150 Mbit/s for download speed, but with Cat.6, the speed of 300 MBit/s could be achieved for download, practically doubling the current level. However, these data rates will initially only be available in selected cities and probably seldom achieved in practice.

 

Portable CAT6 Wi-Fi router

 

The Mini-Router supports LTE to almost all popular bands. For example, 800, 1800, 2100 and 2600 MHz. Of course, it dominated Carrier aggregation at cat.6 and can thus achieve up to 300 Mbits downlink and 50 MBit upload rate. Besides the supported earlier LTE categories, it supports as well as 3G and 2G wireless standards. The Huawei E5786 sets chip on Huawei Hisilicon with a HPM Cortex 9 processor while ZTE flare has a modern block Qualcomm Gobi 9 × 30 chipset in ultrathin 20nm technology.

Users can set up a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 other terminals to log in, and over all popular wireless standards (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac). Data can be exchanged internally with up to 300 Mbit/s via WLAN AC. The operation runs in the dual-band, so either to 2.4 or 5 GHz.

 

 

Others

 

Negative falls on first, that the battery is not removable. The capacity is with 3000 mAh, practically high standard. This should make up 10 hours of online work or 500 hours standby.

As usual, the Operation can be carried out via the browser. Per QR codes, which can be displayed optionally on the display let you integrate quickly into smartphones network, which considerably facilitates the establishment. In addition, Huawei has a special app that can monitor and configure your wireless network. The interface informs the used traffic and provides the wireless data rate represents a graphical trend. There are connections for external antennas and a Micro SD slot. The antenna format is TS-9 here.

Availability

The Germany Telekom has the identical model in the form of “Speedport II mini” as an OEM version. The original Huawei E5786 was available on the online trade store www.4gltemall.com . If you like the unlocked original version Huawei E5786, welcome to have a check.

 

Huawei E5180 LTE Cube Review

The Austrian provider A1 Telekom Austria presented an 4G/LTE+Internet box( also a new LTE router), the model number is Huawei LTE Cube E5180, which is hidden technically. The Box proves that a router does not have to look dull or even ugly: The technology of E5180 puts in a chic, white square whose design amazingly reminiscent of Apple.

Technical Features

 

With 11 x 7 x 7 centimeters and 250 grams in weight, the A1 Internet box 4G/LTE E5180 is portable enough to be used as a mobile LTE router. The micro-SIM card comes in a slot on the bottom of the unit. In addition to the technical specifications, the design attracts the eyes. It is probably no exaggeration to say that Huawei E5180 is the currently most fashionable LTE router in the world.

 

Mobile Internet

 

With the support LTE Category 4 and provided an appropriate collective as well as a developed network, Huawei E5180 Cube could achieve download speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s and 50 Mbit/s speeds for upload at 800, 1,800 and 2,600MHz. If no LTE network available, thanks to the support of DC-HSPA+, the E5180 Cube could reach download speed up to 42 Mbit/s. The only drawback that we could find in the router: It has incomprehensibly no connections or ports for external antennas. Therefore, one should keep a close eye on reception quality. If the signal is weak, you should move the location of the cube.

 

Wireless LAN

 

Up to 32 devices in the house can be supplied with the A1 Internet box 4G/LTE E5180 via WLAN. The connection is elegantly solved: By pressing the blue backlit lid of the box, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n is activated. Huawei promises a wireless range of up to 250 meters with a possible maximum speed of 300 Mbit/s.

 

Safety

 

At the same time, the cover also serves as a WPS button, with the click of a button easily and quickly WPS encryption is built (WPA and WPA2 are also supported). The A1 E5180 dominated UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) and is also protected by an integrated firewall.

 

Connections

 

For wired Internet connections, the E5180 has only one Ethernet port, here you would already want multiple ports. On the back there are the RJ45 output, the RJ11 port for an analog phone or fax machine as well as the connection for the 12-volt power adapter.

 

 Availability

 

The Internet box 4G/LTE E5180 there are offered by A1 for new customers at no extra charge when booking an A1 mobile Internet tariff (S/M/L). If you want the unlocked version of Huawei E5180 A1 Internet box, you can check the online website www.4gltemall.com .

Technical Features

 

The D-Link DW-932 is an category 4 LTE router, ie, in a suitable micro-SIM card with LTE tariff, up to 150 Mbit/s could be achieved to surf the web. In upload, a maximum upload speed of 50 Mbit/s is possible. Where no LTE is available, the DW-932 can switch to UMTS network as backup. As a mobile hotspot, the device supplies a few devices could be connected to DW-932 (the exact number is not said by D-Link); the fast Wi-Fi ac is not supported.

 

Secured multiple

Safety is a top priority at the DW-932: Pushing a button and get encrypted with WPA or WPA2 connection to other mobile devices made via WPS (WiFi Protected Setup). In addition, the router has an internal firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation). On the little display, D-Link DW-932 indicates the network type, signal strength, roaming status, incoming SMS, the Internet connection, the provider, the battery level and wireless encryption.

 

Practical travel companion

 

Although not exactly the black, DW-932 is a beauty, it is with dimensions of 7.3 x 7.3 x 1.5 centimeters at 77 grams of weight, which is very compact and so perfectly suited as a mobile travel companion. It can provide his services on holidays available if it supplies the whole family with “Free WiFi” with only a local prepaid card.

 

Battery with disappointing endurance

The DW-932 Battery has the capacity of 2,020 mAh on the paper. However, in our test, the  useful life is only 4 hours, which would be below the average and very disappointing. Other manufacturer do this better, for example, the Huawei E5878 Prime with a weaker battery could runs twice long surfing time. To charge the battery, you need connect the USB port of a PC.

 

 

Conclusion

Even if it is handy and convenient, the D-Link DW-932 has a few weaknesses. Here now we have other alternatives from Chinese Huawei and ZTE, the recommend models are Huawei E5372, ZTE MF93D. They are popular in Europe and Asia.

Battery for mobile use

 

The Huawei E5170 is primarily intended for stationary use, ie for example as a substitute for a DSL connection. However, unlike other stationary LTE routers, the E5170 is divided into two parts: There is the router part of the wireless technology with an integrated battery and there is the docking station. The latter includes not only the battery but also offers an RJ-45 LAN port to connect a desktop computer. Between Router and dock, the LED lighting has a unique design.

If you want to use the Huawei E5170 mobile use without external power supply, according to the manufacturer, the integrated 1500 mAh battery could provide for an operating time of more than one hour. Thus, the device is also ideally suited for regions where often fails the power. In our view, the capacity would not be enough for long time run. Rather, it is more likely to provide emergency internet service.

 

 

Fast Internet over LTE

 

Thanks to support for LTE category 4, the Huawei E5170 can reach speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s downstream and 50 Mbit/s upstream. But the built-in modem can do even more: If no LTE network is available, UMTS+ is used with the data accelerator DC-HSPA+, so that up to 42.2 Mbit/s in the downlink are possible. Reception may need an external LTE antenna to be strengthened, the necessary connections are integrated directly in the device.

 

Wi-Fi for up to 32 users

Many LTE router with battery, which are designed for mobile use, can connect up to 10 devices simultaneously via Wi-Fi. Huawei E5170 seems powerful on this point, it can support up to 32 devices simultaneously. The maximum speed is 300 Mbit/s via WLAN 802.11b/g/n. Unfortunately, the LTE router supports only the frequency band of 2.4 GHz.

Availability and price

 

The Huawei E5170 LTE Router is available both at various online stores such as www.4gltemall.com. There is unlocked version of Huawei E5170 on 4gltemall.com . User can use it with many other network providers in Europe. If you usually travel the countries around, it would be a good partner.

The centerpiece of the Huawei E5373 is a cellular modem HiSilicon, a subsidiary of manufacturer Huawei. The modem supports all important for Europe frequency bands and allows data rates of up to 150 Mbit/s downstream and 50 Mbit/s upstream depending on the network. In practice, however, the rate could usually be well below the maximum. If LTE network is unavailable, the modem supports both GSM and UMTS networks, the two older wireless technologies. In the UMTS network, it also allows up to 42.2 Mbit s download and 5.76 Mbit/s upload speed if the data accelerator DC-HSPA+ are used.

 

On the body side of Huawei E5373, you can find two connections for an external antenna. The connector type is TS-9. When the device is in low data rates or unstable Internet connection, an external antenna is recommended. The two connectors are hidden under a cover.

 

Dual Band WLAN

Up to 10 units can connect to the E5373 LTE router simultaneously via WLAN. Another device may also take advantage of the Internet connection via the microUSB connector and the cable supplied. The manufacturer Huawei has opted for a module, which can send and receive both at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The 5 GHz band is particularly useful when the frequency range is overloaded on 2.4 GHz, which may often happen on large-scale events or in a residential area with many local residents.

 

6 hours operating time

The Huawei E5373 has a battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh. The energy storage unit is easily replaceable by the user, so if necessary, you can buy a second battery to extend the operating time. According to Huawei, one can expect a runtime of up to 6 hours of continuous operation, then the battery needs to be charged through the microUSB connector again.

Alcatel One Touch Link Y900 LED Review

Ten years ago, EDGE speed of 400 kbit/s seemed to be the recklessness, but today no surprise on even the possibility of mobile Full HD video. Technology does not lag behind the growing demand: the standard LTE-Advanced is already implemented, allowing you to transfer data twice as fast compared to conventional LTE. One of the best devices the newest standard router Alcatel One Touch Link Y900, which will be discussed in this review.

Below are the a full complement of accessories in the package with Alcatel Y900.

In addition to the router, buyers will get the power supply cable, micro-USB 3.0, cable USB OTG (with connector micro-USB 2.0) and warranty card.

Appearance

The body of Alcatel Y900 router is made of soft-touch plastic in two colors: gray-white and black. Both will not collect fingerprints. In small dimensions, the gadget is a little bit heavy because of the large battery.

On the front panel, there is a LED power indicator and a large four-level indicator of network signal: depending on the power of the contour, segments are highlighted in blue. But the battery charge level can be found only in the web-based interface.

Three more LEDs are on the left side of the router. They show which network the device is connecting.

The top of the body is the power button and WPS button for fast set-up Wi-Fi. Port micro-USB 3.0 is at the lower bound of the gadget.

Under the rear lid are the removable battery slot for micro-SIM and memory cards microSD.

Interface

Get access to the Alcatel router in two ways: either by connecting the device to a Wi-Fi (the password for the initial configuration is located on the back of the back cover), or by connecting the gadget to PC USB-cable. In the second case, you must first install the driver that is in the memory of the router. By the way, the computer recognizes the device as a CD-drive.

Web-based interface of Alcatel One Touch Link is available at «http: //y900.home» and is password protected. At the entrance, the red button “off the Internet” attracts the attention. This decision was taken for good reason: to change a number of settings is possible only with the disabled connection, and it can be done at any time, without returning to the home screen. Next to the duration of the session the current data rate is displayed. If network access is disabled, the inscription changes to “Connect the Internet.”

Most actions can be operated directly from the web-based interface with SIM-card, which allows reading and sending SMS, contacts and work with USSD-command.

After log in the web interface, Alcatel One Touch Link Y900 begins in the “Settings”, and the most useful of them is that the possibility of switching to 4G, which offers a much higher rate than other standards even at a weak signal.

 

In the «Wi-Fi», there are all wireless network settings, you can select the SSID and disable its broadcast, set the type of encryption, and set the maximum number of clients from one to maximum 32. In the tab “Advanced Settings” to choose between the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, but the simultaneous operation in both would increase the power and cost of the router significantly.

On the “Energy Saving” in the “Device”, you can adjust the range of the Wi-Fi network. If the router is in your bag, and you want only share the network to your devices (such as a smartphone and a laptop), the setting will be enough “Small range Wi-Fi networks.” Then the gadget will last much longer time without recharging in this case.

Section “Firewall” to configure port forwarding, and the demilitarized zone (DMZ). This functionality is sure to be useful to power users in the event of a “white» IP-addresses.

DHCP-server settings are located in the “router” if automatic assignment of customers to IP-addresses is not desirable, you can turn off the server and assign them manually.

Despite a decent functionality, the Alcatel One Link Y900 router is as simple as possible for inexperienced users to log into the network, simply insert the SIM-card and enable the device, no further adjustments are required.

Despite the fact that the gadget is sold by the operator “Beeline”, and its web-interface explicitly made in the company’s “bee” style, the Link Y900 router can work with any SIM-cards of other operators. This possibility can not be overestimated, especially to those who travel frequently and avoid overpaying for roaming.

The router supports microSDHC – memory card up to 32 GB, which allows it to act as a card reader. When connected to a PC You can transfer files in both directions, but the memory card access via Wi-Fi manufacturer somehow had not foreseen.

Thanks to high-capacity battery, the One Touch Link Y900 can charge other devices, and this is useful for a complete cable USB OTG. It is unlikely that such a function should be considered among the basic, but it can be very useful in an emergency, such as when you need to make a call and your phone battery is at zero.

Another feature of the device is the support of USB 3.0. The speed of data transmission in LTE-Advanced can reach 300 Mbit/s and a maximum speed through Wi-Fi 802.11n with one antenna is 150 Mbit/s, the use of USB 3.0 for connecting the device to a PC or notebook looks quite reasonable.

 

Wireless interfaces

Alcatel One Touch Link Y900 supports all generations of mobile networks up to LTE-Advanced (or sometimes referred to as the standard 4G +). LTE-A network provides data transfer rates up to 300 Mbit/s, but unfortunately, it’s not yet very common.

Do not forget that the 300 Mbit/s speed of data transmission is in perfect conditions and close proximity to the base station. And if you want it in the LTE-A, you need find out whether there is coverage in the location where you want to use a router.

 

As for Wi-Fi, the device has the support of all modern standards 802.11a/b/g/n/ac in the frequency bands 2.4 and 5 GHz. Alcatel Router is equipped with Li-Ion battery impressive capacity 3600mAh. For eight hours of continuous operation of the device battery has run about 40%.

Conclusion

The Alcatel One Touch Link Y900 manufacturer TCL managed to find a balance that can reconcile a variety of user groups. The device does not require any special installation – Insert the SIM-card and you’re done, but amateurs with their hands “pull splitting” will be pleased with the rich possibilities of functions, in which the router bypasses most competitors.

The main feature of Alcatel Link Y900 – support for LTE-Advanced, allowing you to enjoy access to the internet at ultra-high speeds. But even if the network is not available LTE-A, the gadget will be one of the best 4G-routers with support for all Wi-Fi standards and significantly longer battery life. It’s a great mobile 4G router!
