Cancel your broadband subscription
Great device. I use it instead of paying for broadband. Just pop in an unlimited data sim (Three charge £10 per month), connect your devices and bam you’re online with 4G.

Be aware - needs additional setup to work with Giffgaff
Can't comment much on performance, except to say that it does at least work - but to begin with I couldn't get Internet access through it. It turns out that the unit will NOT automatically configure itself if you have a Giffgaff SIM. You need to get Giffgaff's APN settings (APN name giffgaff.com / user giffgaff / password blank at the time of writing - or just google for them) and enter them into the "Network" settings webpage (the manual describes how you get there). After that it works like a charm.Also note that the indicator lights go out almost immediately after powering on, but the unit does remain active and if you touch the power button the lights will briefly return.

Update- 08/04/2020- 2nd Update 23/04/2020
Hello All,Finally mastered the set up with the help of Amazon users and trial and error . I really hope that someone can do a you tube video on the the little tricky bits , e,g ... The sim card must be a data only sim... The sim card must be placed the correct way and the click must ensure that its entered correctly .. It really is a great device otherwise . I have finally got it to work and now have great uninterrupted streaming and connects to more than one device but occasionally dropped.I will try and post pictures soon and any tips i learned23/03.2020This is my second or third update on this product and this is what i learned so far , FROM MY ExperienceAlthough i am not a tech geek I am quite competent most of the time with gadgets.~This product i did my research and liked the review it seemed to fit what i needed.~The device arrived in good time and was smaller then i expected but cute and compact .~The essential problems setting up and nearly resulting in me returning was due to lack of seller instruction and Huawei complicated system.~In the end after more research translating German you tube video to English and India you tubers great advice for a non branded similar product i was able to set up and start using .~ The sim card must be a mobile data sim it must be standard size and you have to hear it click for it to be in place properly. The password although in another language is the same for all devices Admin but this must be changed for security.~ Once the device was working it was brilliant I was able to use it day or night and no slowing or jumping.~Number of devices I would say is limited as it seems to slow when more than 2 devices are connected.I hope this helped it is overall a good product which is a shame because if I had more seller support and clear instruction I would have been more positive about my user experience. But I definitely would not consider a Huawei product in the future unless they improve there customer interaction.

Works fine (now!)
Finally got it to work ok and I'm happy now. I used a Gift Gaff SIM card which uses the 02 network but I couldn't connect to the internet till I changed the APN in the router settings from 02 to Giff Gaff (web browser / 192.168.8.1). Once I did this it connected straight away. If you're such just Google it 👍

Worked out of the Box - you can tether the 4G connection via the USB provided
The unit arrived promptly and after activation of a Smartly SIM with Unlimited Data for 20GBP I was up and running. In comparison with the older unit the interface was very straightforward to use.A great product. Highly recommended and of great value.I've used this USB tethered and as a WiFi/MiFi router. The USB tethering isn't well communicated - but this actually works with lower latency than using the WiFi connection. No settings extra settings required.I previously owned the older unit: https://amzn.to/2Jbk3ZsIt was stolen from me, because it was so useful, by a family member of mine which I was somewhat peeved about.
