Title: Great internet!
Review: I use this router for everyday use as it is supposed to be used but for gaming on 2 gaming pcs and 2 Xboxâ€™s all day everyday pretty much and Iâ€™ve had no problems with it other than I canâ€™t play call of duty because of the strict nat type which I donâ€™t know how to fix so I canâ€™t connect to any call of duty lobby but other than that no problems with the internet at all

Title: Great connection, bad interface
Review: I purchased this router as an upgrade from TP-Link AC1200 which provided us with solid download and upload speeds but could not deliver a reliable connection. I purchased this router as it is Cat12 and because as a smaller unit we could place in a better spot.In terms of performance our download and upload speeds in different rooms are roughly the same (as expected) but it has approximately halved our ping and reduced jitter by around 80% which is very impressive. So far it has provided us with a very reliable connection even before moving it to a better position.However, the setup was not so easy. The firmware interface, compared to the TP-Link router, is pretty rubbish. The interface is not very nice, some features don’t seem to work, and some are simply hidden and can only be dug out with the browser’s dev tools. It also did not connect to the EE network correctly, at first we could only connect to IPv6 addresses and not any IPv4 addresses. To resolve this I needed to setup a custom – IPv4 only – connection.

Title: Excellent piece of tech that can save you money but it’s not completely relaible!
Review: Huawei B628-265 is compact, functional, good performance, stylish (if you’re bothered about that….I’m not) and easy to set up, so for most its a good option initially.But for me, it stops transmitting (or internal computer freezes, not sure) every 5-6 weeks and is offline for about a week each time. If you are there and present during that week and are able to reboot it, great, but if your are away for several weeks like me, you worry about the reliablity of this device as part of your home security sytem. I’ve programmed it to reboot itself weekly for maintenance and updates, but it still shuts down and there is nothing you can do remotely, only if you are physically present.Avoid if you’re away a lot, but if you live and remain in your home or you can visit the property regulary or easily (you’re a local landlord or property manager), this is an excellent option that will save you lots of money compared to home broadband services such as Virgin, BT, EE etcI’m going to remove it imminently though.

Review: J’ai juste galÃ©rÃ© Ã trouver le bon APN pour mon opÃ©rateur puis tout a fonctionnÃ© parfaitement. C’est gÃ©nial pour les gens qui ne peuvent pas avoir internet en filaire. Le dÃ©bit 4G LTE est Ã la hauteur 130 Mb/s (sachant que Ã§a capte moyen par chez moi). Le wifi est plus dÃ©cevant 160 Mb/s entre appareils (dommage que Ã§a ne soit pas du wifi 6…). La borne est bien de marque Huawei mais c’est un firmware custom Bouygues telecom (sÃ»rement des bornes reconditionnÃ©es ou jamais utilisÃ©es par Bouygues), ce qui ne change rien pour l’utiliser avec n’importe quel autre opÃ©rateur. Le chÃ¢ssis fait un peu plastoque, mais Ã§a reste simple et Ã©lÃ©gant… TroisiÃ¨me produit Huawei et jamais dÃ©Ã§u!

Review: Ottimo acquisto, ho due SIM con traffico illimitato (TIM e WindTre) e per entrambe qui da casa il segnale delle celle tutto Ã¨ fuorchÃ© entusiasmante. Nonostante questo su rete TIM sfiora i 150 Mbps (20 msec ping) e su WindTre i 130 Mbps (30 msec ping).Connessione stabilissima, mai caduta in giorni di utilizzo continuativo.Buon segnale anche per ciÃ² che riguarda il WiFi, dove ho copertura completa del mio appartamento (120 mÂ²) sia in 2.4 che in 5 GHz (router posto in zona centrale su un mobile a circa 2.5 metri dal pavimento).Il consumo Ã¨ VERAMENTE basso, non arriva a 5 Watt.Utili ma non indispensabili le prese per le antenne esterne.Certamente un validissimo sostituto della VDSL ma anche, come nel mio caso, un’utile integrazione a basso consumo di energia per la FTTH quando non si ha necessitÃ di grandi larghezze di banda (il mio Fritzbox 7590 + Media Conveter hanno ottime prestazioni ma consumano molto).Gli unici appunti che mi sento di muovergli riguardano la sezione DDNS (solo preset per quelli piÃ¹ diffusi e nessuna possibilitÃ di gestirne di personali) e quella relativa alla VPN (solo L2TP e PPTP).Confesso di non aver neppure provato a configurare la parte relativa al telefono, quindi non esprimo giudizi.Spero di essere stato utile, Federico

Review: Yo lo tengo con una tarjeta SIM de datos ilimitados de Vodafone y cobertura 4G+ casi a tope y en la pruebas de velocidad me llega a veces a 100Mb/s de bajada con unas latencias de entre 30-40ms. Eso sÃ, de todos los idiomas que soporta no estÃ¡ el espaÃ±ol.
