HUAWEI E5577 White 4G Low-cost Travel Wi-Fi, Super-Fast Portable Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot – Long-lasting Battery

easy to change the sim if traveling abroad, easy and practical for all those times when you want your own wifi, or can't get onto anyone else's.(and I had those times when free wifi just wasn't accessible). if there is a signal then a hotspot is the way to go! And this device has been reliable and simple to use. And not ridiculously expensive either.

Initial problems with the device recognising the SIM card but solved by switching the device on and off many times. We have travelled through Italy being able to use it easily in our motorhome (RV) for business and pleasure. No aerial has been needed but we have experienced only one poor reception place i.n our travels. For us it has been ideal and good value for money compared to other recommendations. Note: We had an Italian SIM card

Using it with a Three contract sim. Very small in size but has a more powerful signal than any other mobile router I used before. The problem I have is with the internet speed which, at least in part, is related to my service provider, Three Mobile Broadband, which I have been using for more than ten years. Reliable but not fast enough. The six hours use after charging this router may not be accurate. Mine seems to go shorter but too soon to be sure. Seems like a small powerful device from a brand that I trust and use with confidence.

This was bought for using at home for my broadband instead of the usual telephone plus broadband service. It was not the easiest thing to set up, the instructions were not good. But I find that anything that comes from China is the same. But now I have got it working properly it works great. The speed is good, and I can watch catch up TV on the internet without a problem. The only issue is the battery. I bought this as it said it lasted 6 hours. But I was finding that this depends on your usage. If you set your programs to update automatically it runs the battery down, even if you are not using it. Also, it was set up to switch off when it was not being used for any length of time. I had to disable this function as I had to keep switching it on when I did want to use it. This was a pain. I can understand why it was set up this way. But it was no good for my type of usage. I found an updated app and downloaded it. I could set it up better using this. I have got it plugged into the USB point permanently to keep the battery at 100%.

Read all the reviews and expected it to be straightforward. It was not easy to use... First: the seal on the box was broken and dirty so I guess I got one already returned. The screen is tiny and hard to read, as are the very basic instruction. There are 3 password on the basic screen. You need the second bit nothing told is that. You have to download an app that my phone blocked as suspicious & dangerous. 4 frustrating hours later we had exhausted all possible solutions. It would not pair with the sim we put in it nor our phones. We returned it and got a refund. Not able to comment on coverage or speed as it never worked I bought a different model from Argos the same day and it paired with the sun cards on second. No app needed

3 stars because I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but this came in a plain brown box, not a branded one. A big problem is the fact that there were no instructions with it. After looking at the description, I see it says it should include 1x quick start. I eventually figured it out and then I noticed a pdf in the item description page. This does not help much though because it appears to be the instructions for a different model.

you often read how "all you have to do is...." and you know you'll spend months on chat rooms trying to make your newest gadget work but this, really did straight out fo the box in went the sim and the already 50% chargefd battery and we were good to go. the charing cable made us laugh...it is very short. so we ditched that and used a 5m cable i had lying about, which works great. doesn't come with a plug either, but we had a spare USB mains plug socket we could use it is the most stable 4g connection we've ever had (and we were using a proper sized 4G router with a huge antennae before) it looks really tiny, but this, really, is what we wanted. i chose this one becauase you can plug in external antennaes. i already have some with SMA connections, so have just bougth some adapters fr the sma antennae i already have in fairness to this little munchkin of the the 4G router world, it is already getting 3 out of 5 reception bars at our home, with pretty poor reception for us

This little dongle saved my life on the Isle of Wight holiday last month . I bought a 50 gb pre loaded data only card from three , also from Amazon and it loaded with no worries . Take a picture of the little data sticker before you put in the battery and card . Easy to link to . I didn’t bother with all the changing the password palaver . It worked faultlessly. My 13 year old Daughter was able to access the net which kept her very happy lol … me too . 50gb lasted from Sat afternoon to Thursday evening then ran out . Recommended

Good

Working good but low battery

Funciono súper bien aveces se trababa pero nada que no pudiera arreglarse … eso si la batería dura poco así qué hay que estar a las vivas por que en cuanto se baja empieza a fallar la conexión

Ein großartiger mobiler Router. Hat mir in Südkorea mit der entsprechenden Sim-Card zuverlässige Dienste geleistet. Die Verbindungen waren stabil, zuverlässig und schnell. Es konnten mehrere Geräte gleichzeitig genutzt werden, was super praktisch war. Die Akkulaufzeit betrug ca. 6h, was etwas knapp war über den Tag. Ich hatte mir angewöhnt das Gerät halt bei Nichtbenutzung auszuschalten. Angeschaltet war es innerhalb von einer Minute. So ist man locker einen ganzen Tag durch gekommen. Platziert hatte ich es im Rucksack, was keinerlei Probleme machte, da es kompakt und leicht ist. Im Betrieb wird das Gerät zwar spürbar und deutlich warm, jedoch habe ich keine Nachteile dadurch erfahren. Das allgemeine Handling war sehr einfach und mit der Anleitung sehr schnell eingerichtet. Preis-Leistung ist sehr gut, klare Empfehlung !

Travelled around British Columbia in a camper van for 3 Months this summer from Vancouver Island to the Rocky Mountains. The provider was Rogers. Lots of time spent in the Back country wilderness. Generally 2-Bars or more got me a good fast connection. Excellent product .
