Tenda 4G03 N300 Wi-Fi 4G LTE Router, Band 28, 2 FE Ports, Mini SIM, failover, up to 32 Devices, 3-Year Warranty

The first thing to do is have a stable test environment, where you can repeat tests. Also ensure that the 4G router is correctly configured for external antennas. 1) First test was to find a repeatable position, where reflections are minimal to movements made in the room. 2) Go into the router configuration and enable ONLY External Antennas. Do NOT set to Auto, as both internal/external antennas could be enabled or the router could keep switching between them. 3) When fitting antennas, ensure the small SMA coax connector is done up tight and secure. Even slightly loose could mean poor RF connection. 4) In the router settings, find a signal strength reading. around -70 dBm is excellent, higher the value the worse the signal strength 5) Repeat tests more than once - also remembering that the signal strength indicator can take a few seconds or more, to update. It is not an instant real-time reading. 6) Depending on the router, you may need to reboot to initialise the antenna configuration changes. Based on this, I then completed a number of tests using the internal and external antennas. The router was kept in the same position. Internal (typical; -79 dBm Good) External Paddle type (typical: -69 dBm Excellent) External Patch LTE Antenna with RG174 coax (typical: -76 dBm Good) The paddle and patch antenna is directional. Moving them slightly can make a difference. Also rotating from the upright position can also improve, or not, the signal - due to polarisation changes. When using the paddle type antennas, these will make direct RF connection to the wireless in the router. The Patch antennas which typically have a cable using RG174 coax, may well offer, or advertise, high gain but you MUST remember that the coax will be lossy and in fact, you could easily lose 3-6dB due to coax losses. NB. The advertised '35dBi SMA 4G LTE Antenna, SMA Antenna Indoor Network Antenna with Dual Mimo SMA Male Connectors', performed appallingly, as seen above. Finally, depending on where you are sited, signal reflections do exist and sometimes pointing the antennas in a odd angle can provide surprising results. When testing in the hotel, I had a better signal tucked in the rear corner of the room, than by the window. Conclusion, direct Paddle antennas provided the best overall performance. Hope you found this of use.

Simple setup. Needed temp wifi solution for hive heating, ring doorbell and blink security cameras while house renovated. Tried old phone as wifi hotspot but couldn’t provide strong enough signal for all so this was cheapest solution and worked with no issues using the cheap lebara phone sim. Signal is fine for my use but guess it could be boosted by purchase of Ariels for others.

My business has bought 50+ of these Tenda 4g router through the seller here on Amazon. I have spent the past few month removing failed Tenda routers from everywhere we installed them. They fail for absolutely no reason....you will either get a 'red light of death' or no power up whatsoever. The locations these routers have been installed have also has Tplink / Huawei 4g router installed. All these other brands are still going strong years later. We now have a bin full of useless junk, all of them Tenda 4g sim card routers. This is not a coincidence, its like they have been programmed to become paperweights after a certain length of time. Shame on this cheap crap manufacture. Spend an extra 20/30 quid on Tplink or Huawei gear, its more than worth it.

Much improved signal over a USB dongle, to be expected really. Found the unit to be very stable , quite a bit of configuration options if wanted. Currently using built in antennas but ordered a couple of external to try and see if I can squeeze a bit more out of it. Surprised by the negative comments, I spent time finding the best signal area in the home as signal is not brilliant where I Using SMARTY unlimited data £16 month My USB dongle hovered constantly jumping 1-2 bar strength mainly 1 bar. This unit stays solid on 2 bar and currently around 75dBi ( good signal ). Downloads vary depending on load on network but during day stays around 12Mb downstream. Weekend seems to go up to around 21Mb Lots of variables for speed and some people I think don’t actually go out their way to check things. will update if the external antennas improve on this. Update: External Antennas improved dBi to around -71dBi, Signal full bars (excellent) You have to be patient and get the right location and space the antennas correctly around 3 ft apart ( I ordered ones with cables) to allow this. Downloads jumped from approx. 8-10 Mb to over 20Mb.

I bought it, because I didn't want to pay for an expensive broadband. I bought a chip, inserted and it works really well. I have internet at my apartment, connecting a few devices at the same time with no issue. Signal is strong enough for my usage, I can use 2 phones, smart TV, laptop, indoor camera all at the same time and it works perfectly.

I am satisfied with it after using it from 2 months. And I am enjoying the internet on all my devices. I have been using from 2 months in 40 to 45 Celsius temperatures in the outdoors for 4G single catching. This is a very good product from the market but its price is more than other companies. But will last because of this quality.

Connected to the mobile internet using an Aldi Mobile simcard in no time. Setup is very user-friendly, yet supporting advanced setup such as remote access/control from a mobile phone app. This devices automatically disconnects daily to ensure it run smoothly. I set it at 5am (automatically delays itself if there's an active wifi connection). I intend to use it to monitor a vending machine, which is perfect my my application. Highly recommended to those who are looking for a cost effective mobile internet modem.

Bonjour Je suis vraiment impressionné par les performances du modem routeur Tenda N300. Par rapport à la Flybox d'Orange, la rapidité de connexion et de navigation Web est tout simplement remarquable ! Les fonctionnalités innovantes de ce modèle, comme la possibilité de couper le Wi-Fi la nuit et de le réactiver automatiquement le matin, sont un atout considérable pour ceux qui cherchent à gérer leur utilisation Internet Ainsi que la possibilité eteindre toutes les Led . De plus, le contrôle parental intégré offre une tranquillité d'esprit supplémentaire, permettant de surveiller et de limiter l'accès des enfants à Internet. J'apprécie également la possibilité de redémarrer le N300 à distance, ce qui est très pratique lorsque l'on est en déplacement. En somme, le Tenda N300 s'avère être un produit vraiment exceptionnel qui allie performance, fonctionnalités pratiques et innovation. Je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui cherchent à améliorer leur expérience Internet avec les box 4G 👍👍 Ps: pour ma part je n'achèterai plus jamais le modem routeur 4G que vend les operateurs Telephonique comme Orange avec leur flybox qu'il faut changer au bout 1 an voir + , ou tout simplement car elle devient obsolète et ne fonctionne plus correctement. et je vous confirme que le Tenda N300 fonctionne tres bien avec les cartes sim Orange Belgique 👍👍

Buen precio, fácil instalación y después de 9 meses ni un cuelgue ni fallo. Para mí un 9 calidad precio

Preso da abbinare ad una SIM Kena (dopo aver controllato la copertura della rete a casa). Un ottimo modem 4G (non 4G plus) ad un ottimo prezzo, ha la possibilità di collegare due cavi ethernet (uno LAN e uno WAN). Genera solo una rete wifi a 2.4GHz ( non a 5GHz ) ma è più che sufficiente per navigare e guardare prime, YouTube o Netflix senza interruzioni o perdite di qualità. Questo modello non aggrega le bande quindi ne utilizza solo una (di default scelta in automatico ma impostabile anche manualmente da menù). Nel mio caso con SIM kena 4G, connesso in WiFi al modem, in media ottengo 20-25MB in download. Veramente comodo il menù ed estremamente personalizzabile ( sospensione programmata, spegnimento wifi programmato, spegnimento LED programmato, selezione manuale bande LTE etc ..) Esteticamente molto ben fatto e sta bene anche a vista in sala.
