Tenda4G/3G Portable Mobile Hotspot Router, 4G LTE Cat4 150Mbps MiFi, 2100 MAh Battery, No Configuration Required (4G185)

I required mobile broadband in an apartment I travel to infrequently, to use with my laptop and gaming PC.When I used my iPhone to act as a mobile hotspot, the connection is really unreliable, dropping out frequently or just stopping for no apparent reason. I tried many things and decided my phone must not like being a router so I bought this 4G router as a replacement and was very pleasantly surprised:The router was extremely easy to setup, requiring just attaching the antennae to the back of the device, inserting SIM card and powering on. It connected to the mobile network at full strength with no issue at all and started broadcasting it's own WiFi network which I could connect to no problem.It's been on for a while now and i've not encountered any interruptions in data or connectivity.The software, should you want to go in and change any settings, is also surprisingly well laid out and has many more features that I would expect from much more expensive routers, of which I have had many throughout the years.All in all, it solved my connectivity problems, was very easy to setup and the software offers lots of features that will keep 99% of users happy. Well chuffed with my purchase

Very good range, easy to set up

I took a risk as there were no reviews to look at for this specific device (5G SIM Card Router), but drastically unimpressed with the device that arrived, and my expectations were low... My friend came over to help set it up, I'm okay with networking, but he has experience, and it was my first try with a SIM router.1. Most importantly, signal strength was tested in four locations in the home where my phone was saying signal was strongest, I tried 4 different SIM cards (Vodafone, ID, Smarty and O2) and not one of them went above 15mbps down and 3mbps up. Whilst I wasn't expecting 5G, I don't live in a 5G area, but I expected the antenna to beat my phone which was able to pick up 40mbps on 4G in the same spot.2. The device was seriously light, I have looked at a friend's Huawei 5G Pro 2 alternative and that weighs way more than this, I suspect Tenda put all their effort into its looks & they cut cost on the internals. Given the weak signal, light weight, etc, etc, this is a small array of weak antenna and some very basic processing power. I can't stress enough how weird it is picking it up, given its external dimensions, and feeling such little weight...3. Changing out SIM cards was a pain as there is no recess to help you push the Nano SIM in before it pops back out. I used the SIM tray of my phone to push the edge just enough for the spring to activate and eject the SIM each time.4. Price is seriously tone-deaf, considering the poor performance, £300+ is frankly ludicrous. Again, my friend showed me a little Netgear mobile hotspot which he says was around £250'ish when he bought it several years ago, and that had better reception and Wi-Fi performance than this device. Using that little Netgear in my home, he swapped between the same 4 SIMs and each were pulling in excess of 50mbps apart from O2 which fell behind to 28mbps.Ultimately, I hope this helps someone, I have been looking at these for months and took the plunge on Prime Day, I now wish I had spent the money on a competitor that's a little bit older, but has considerably better reviews. Oh, and my friend knew on the first SIM when it pulled just under 7mbps that this was a non-starter.

This review may be a little unfair as I simply couldn't get my Vodaphone 5g data sim to work. However product quality seemed reasonable. don't be deterred by this review as I've used lots of Tenda products in the past and I've been delighted with them. I did buy the following day through Amazon a TP-Link X-50 5G router put the sim in and simply worked.

Works fine. Its not got the speed of a 5gHz router and its beamforming is nothing too brilliant, but it does the job for older devices that can't take advantage of the modern wifi speeds and for the price is very reasonable. It can act as a router/DCHP a bridge or access point with a web-based menu. I'd recommend for the price. Though the aerials are a little intimidating when on show and looks like some kids toy robot.

Bought this on a whim as I needed 1gb lan ports and 5GHZ for wireless PCVR. I wasn’t disappointed. The UI took a minute or two to figure out while changing the settings but once I’d familiarised myself it was easy. Signal strength is as advertised even through a solid brick wall. Speeds are amazing both LAN ports and the Wifi. I’ve never had the connection drop, nor have I ever needed to go back into the routers settings.I’m sure a more advanced network user could find problems or issues but as a basic router or access point with 1gb lan ports it’s great. 5/5

You connect fast. Use it anywhere. Brilliant battery life. Doesn’t drop connection. Cheap considering.

Very good

Lo he probado,y de momento va muy bien. Navega rápido. No pierde cobertura. Mañana lo probaré en ruta de camping. A ver qué tal. El servicio de paquetería de 10. Llegó antes de lo pedido y en perfecto estado.

Sehr übersichtlich und keinerlei einrichtungs Aufwand ,,klasse Gerät

Le but de cet achat était pour nous 'sauver' en cas de panne internet, ce qui arrive trop régulièrement... L'appareil a eut l'occasion d'être testé en n'ayant le réseau coupé. Eh bien n'étant pas une pro des technologies, la mise en place a été relativement simple et plutôt rapide. Le plus long a été de placer la carte sim de mon portable. J'avais suivi le conseil sur les avis, d'enlever avant les codes pin. Pour faire suite à un autre commentaire, j'ai la fibre chez moi, et ça fonctionne quand même très bien ! Merci pour cette petite merveille. Tous les appareils ont été appareillé et ont fonctionné pendant la panne de réseau. Je ne l'utilise pas pour augmenter mon WiFi. Je n'ai pas de boutique de téléphonie proche de chez moi pour récupérer de airbox de prêt donc c'est parfait et rassurant d'avoir ce routeur toujours à la maison.
