Huawei E5783-230, CAT 6, Super-Fast 4G 300 Mbps, Travel Wi-Fi Hotspot (Genuine UK Warranty Stock)- Black

Have used this extensively abroad and has great reception and provides WiFi for all our uses easily. In fact it picks up signal when our phones have struggled prior to connecting.

Would not stay connected and for the money I did not find it was a very good item.

I had 2 of these branded with a network, but they both decided to stop working when I changed provider (not locked so do not know what went wrong), so I bought this one. Worked straight out of the box and is very reliable for use as my only internet connection at home (no fixed connection available). My only complaint is that even though plugged in all the time it sporadically decides the battery needs charging, and takes ages - but still works throughout so not a problem. I have TV, laptop, phone, tablet and Echo Dot all connected to it and easy to set up.

*First impression I just got the modem the other day and it was an easy fix. Moreover the seller even sent me a 30gb SMARTY simcard, which I immediately upgraded to unlimited for £20 pcm. My connection is much better than the mobile 4G, which these days can barely open an app. Since I live close to the sea, I'm only getting a couple of MB dwd, but it's enough to work from home, until I get fiber installed. Very satisfied with the product and quick delivery service. **3day-use update: Suddenly the router starts to turn off every now and then. Now I`m not sure what the reason is, but I`ll give it the benefit of the doubt, and believe it`s because of the ISP...for now.

Having lost my broadband temporarily I needed to purchase a mobile dongle device to cover the period I didn't have broadband. I originally purchased the TP-LINK M7200 4G LTE MiFi - but it was a horrible experience - the wifi and 4g signal were consistently being dropped. However, I already knew the 4g signal wasn't the greatest in my area. Anyhow, I decided to spend a little bit more and purchased the Huawei E5783B-230. It didn't work straight away with O2 (but it did work with IDMobile out of the box) - I eventually copied the O2 APN profile configuration from my phone (Samsung Galaxy S10) - and it worked like a charm! - the 4g signal has been relatively strong, speeds have been very good and the wifi never drops! Overall, extremely happy with this product and have been using it for the last 2 weeks.

I ordered one of these for myself and used the free sim card that came with the product. All is going very well and I have had no issues whatsover. I am traveling abroad soon and will try it with a different sim for that area. I also ordered one for my friend. So this one is for my friend who is traveling abroad soon as well. Will leave more feedback after using an international sim card. so watch this space...

Brand new and battery life only last 2 hours meant to be minimum of 6 hours. Amazon we know how your making your money now.

I have owned and loved a few Huawei mi-fi routers but this one has disappointed me. The battery is constantly charging and doesnt seem to get above 95% charged. I bought it for my elderly mother to use in her small apartment so hope it will suffice for now as it will be plugged in all the time. Speeds seem to be really slow as well. May have to return for a refund if it doesn't improve performance

He estado usándolo durante un año hasta que me lo han robado. Nunca he tenido ningún problema. Lo compré para tener señal y que yo pudiera trabajar y la familia tener wifi, en un camping de esos que no te llega ni en broma la que ellos tienen. Un año antes me las veía y me las deseaba para poder trabajar on-line, dándome wifi con el móvil y era de pena. Cuando no había cobertura en el móvil, tenía que irme al restaurante o al lado de recepción, con lo "peligroso" que puede ser conectarte a una red pública. Finalmente, y después de mucho mirar y comparar, en la operadora me dijeron que buscara uno que tuviera como mínimo 150Mbs, preferí este, de 300Mbs. Desde entonces, en julio de 2021 hasta ahora, todo perfecto. Una vez lo has configurado con la tarjeta, etc... puedes crear tu propia red, poner y cambiar contraseñas, ver quién está conectado.... de todo y desde tu móvil, desde la aplicación, que además es muy sencilla y funciona muy bien. Uno de los detalles que más he valorado era poder crear red wifi de invitados. Le puedes poner el nombre que quieras y la contraseña que quieras, elegir cuánto dura, si es para unas horas, días o para siempre. He pasado ratos muy divertidos cuando venían los amigos a hacer una bbq y me pedían wifi. La red se llama "Gorreando wifi" y la contraseña... "Visca el Barça" "Ala Madrid" o lo que se te ocurra dependiendo de tus invitados. Siempre ha funcionado de fábula y he tenido wifi cuando los móviles de la familia no tenían red del operador (siendo el mismo operador), lo que quiere decir que su sistema de antenas es muy superior al de los móviles. Aunque la batería dice que es para unas 6 horas, ha durado suficiente, pero tampoco me he fijado mucho porque no era lo que me importaba. Ahora tengo que comprar otro cacharrito de estos y compraría este, aunque estoy mirando otros modelos con más velocidad y prestaciones. No descarto volver a comprar el mismo por aquello de "más vale bueno conocido...". Espero que te sirva mi opinión. Un saludo. Reeditado en Junio 2022. Después de comprarme otro router de otra marca, por aquello de las prisas y no encontrar nada mejor, lo devolví y me he comprado otro que, aunque más caro, es una versión superior a este y estoy encantado. Es el Huawei E5785Lh-320 - Punto de Acceso portátil (Cat6a, 300 Mbit/s) y puedes leer mi reseña y ver el vídeo.

The setup takes a bit of know-how, and I don’t like how flimsy the box is to open to insert/replace the SIM card. Other than that, it’s great!

Unable to use because wifi key was not recognised. Tried to troubleshoot but still not working after several hours of wasted attempts.

Use YouTube to get this thing going, then it works very good. Have 6 users connected without problems. When using abroad I had to create a new profile, that took a while to realise that was the solution to no solve the connection problem. Recommended but take time for the setup

Signal strength Good
