Huawei E5577Cs-321 4G LTE Mobile WiFi Hotspot (4G LTE in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa & 3G globally) Unlocked/OEM/ORIGINAL from Huawei WITHOUT CARRIER LOGO (White)

I have this little unit in the back of my house and I use it to access the internet on my laptop when I am in the front of the house, about 8 meters or 25 feet away. I don't know how long the battery lasts, because I just keep it plugged in. I am using it with Digicel Fiji. (4g). It's fast, and easy to configure. The instructions are clear and helpful. Make sure you get the correct APN and set it up yourself. It's pretty easy. The people at the Digicel office took an hour fiddling with it and didn't know how to make it work. I took it home, looked up the mobile internet configuration instructions on THEIR website, followed THEIR instructions, and I was online in 5 minutes. Moral of the story: salespeople in cellular provider shops are just that. You may know more than they do, so don't be afraid to just do an internet search for the APN (access point name) for your provider before you assume that the device doesn't work.

This model is so old that it still needs the largest SIM size. Also, it goes into sleep mode unexpectedly, while you are using it. It is not a good choice for someone who needs to rely on internet service.

A very handy product. Worked for me directly after inserting the SIM. No need for fiddling around. Speeds are reasonable. Battery life is not that great. It lasts probably for 4 hours with full use, otherwise it lasts for at least a day.

Product Review: Huawei WiFi RouterRating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)I recently purchased the Huawei WiFi Router with high hopes of getting reliable and consistent internet access on the go. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory due to significant battery issues.The most disappointing aspect of this device is its battery life. Despite the promising specifications, the battery doesn’t last long at all. After just one month of use, I’m already experiencing severe battery degradation. Initially, the router could manage a few hours of usage, but now it barely lasts for an hour before needing a recharge. Even when is on charge it will shutdown and says battery empty. This is incredibly inconvenient, especially when traveling or during power outages.The setup process was straightforward, and the router did provide decent internet speeds when it was operational. However, the frequent need to recharge has severely hampered its usability. I often find myself tethered to a power source, which defeats the purpose of having a portable WiFi router.While the Huawei WiFi Router excels in design and ease of use, the battery performance is a major letdown. For a device meant to provide portable internet access, having such a weak battery is unacceptable. I hope Huawei addresses this issue in future models. For now, I would not recommend this product if you need a reliable and long-lasting portable WiFi solution.

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 can't tell if that was due to the network or the device, though. (Far better than what I got when I had to switch to Verizon's service for a day for reasons unrelated to the device.) The battery life isn't great, so after about 4-6 hours, I'd have to charge it. I just kept it connected to a power bank in my backpack. Occasionally I'd have to reboot the device when I had trouble connecting, but I didn't 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.

I got off the airplane in Port Au Prince and bought a Dig card and used the card in a tablet /phone and loved it . Than I tried it in the hotspot and was worried about having to do the apn settings and all and it was effortless. It did it all by itself. My tablet and all my phones worked way faster and even started getting 4g !!! It is exceptional. We have a young lady using it daily now and she loves it . Thanks for great quality.
