If you’re looking for a mobile broadband gadget with a little screen on the front, Huawei’s 4G Wi-Fi 2 stands out. It includes signal strength, battery life indicator, and how much data you’ve used, all shown on the front. Typically, mobile broadband devices display simple information in symbols or lights, but this is possible to go a step beyond.
The screen of the Broadband Huawei Mobile Wi-Fi 2 gives it a more sophisticated and high-tech appearance. From there, it’s a simple rectangular box in black or white with a slight curve (though EE only has it in white for now, so you’ll have to buy it elsewhere if you want it in black) beyond the screen.
Setup
You can be up and running with any mobile broadband device in a matter of minutes. Just insert the included SIM card, make sure it’s fully charged, and turn it on, and you’re good to go. Other devices can connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the Huawei 4G Wi-Fi 2 through a mobile network.
Performance
You can get up to 300Mbps download speeds and 50Mbps upload rates with the Huawei 4G Wi-Fi 2 device. The download speeds are above average for a 4G router, so overall performance is good. However, your actual speeds will depend as much on the network as they do on the device itself, and in reality, you’ll rarely be approaching the top end of this thing’s capabilities.
You can see this in the competition area, which you may access by clicking the link. In addition, it supports up to 16 devices at a time, which is a noteworthy feature given that many of its competitors’ peak out at 10. In other words, whether you’re going on a trip with your entire family, friends, or coworkers, you should be able to use only one mobile broadband device.
Battery
At least 12 hrs of use or 600 hours of standby time are possible thanks to a 3,000mAh battery in the Huawei 4G Wi-Fi 2. Huawei 4G Wi-Fi 2 has double the capacity of certain devices, such as the Huawei 4G Plus MiFi, so it’s amazing and will keep you connected through the heaviest of workloads.
