IT IS 3G NOT 4G

Just okay, battery life is just an hour and half not great as as specified

not what I thought it was. Returning tomorrow.

Like this product. Pros- Works good with Google Fi data SIM card with simple configuration. Cons- In USA, only 3G works but not 4G.

no connection

I am generally okay with this product as it works to give me usable internet on the go and at home. I have two complaints though, battery life and network reception. If not plugged in, the battery life is only a few hours of continuous use so if Im traveling, I take an external charger or its plugged into my laptop. As far as the reception goes, what I get directly on my phone (not connected to the wifi pod) is always considerably higher than what I get when connected to the pod; this is true for indoors or even outdoors standing within clear site of cell towers. Now Im back on Amazon looking for the antenna that can be purchased separately and plugged into it to improve connection but cant find info on it online...

Very small, last at least 12hours. Unlike iPhone, you need to enter APN using app, but worth well.

After renting a unit like this for a trip through Europe, I decided to buy my own for an upcoming trip to Egypt, since at ~$85, the device would practically pay for itself versus the costs of a rental after one trip. I bought a SIM card from the Orange kiosk in the baggage claim area in Cairo airport. The device worked well overall. It was able to handle 4 phones being connected, and I got mostly consistent 4G LTE in populated areas, with occasional dropouts. I cant tell if that was due to the network or the device, though. (Far better than what I got when I had to switch to Verizons service for a day for reasons unrelated to the device.) The battery life isnt great, so after about 4-6 hours, Id have to charge it. I just kept it connected to a power bank in my backpack. Occasionally Id have to reboot the device when I had trouble connecting, but I didnt really think that was a big deal since it only happened about every other day. The app had some minor issues connecting sometimes, but the web interface always worked. So -1 star for meh battery life and occasional minor hiccups, but overall, I think this is a good hotspot for international travel.

The assistance , and battery life and doesn’t work at USA

I bought this Huawei E5577-321 mobile hotspot for a trip to France. In France, I bought a sim from a Bouygues Telecom shop called “My European SIM” that was targeted to tourists which cost €39.90. This sim included 20GB and unlimited local calls/SMS in Europe for 30 days. I just had to insert the SIM and after a few minutes, the hotspot registered on the mobile network. I was able to connect to the hotspot with the SSID and WIFI key that is on the back of the device and also in the menu located under “Device Info” and was automatically connected to the internet. The APN was automatically setup and I didn’t have to enter anything into the device. I did setup my own SSID just for fun and it wasn’t too difficult if you’ve ever setup a Wi-Fi router at home. The connection was great. There were a few areas in Paris with low signal or slow internet speed but that’s to be expected just like any mobile network.
