Three Huawei B183 Webcube Home Broadband General Review

The UK’s operator Three had recently released two new broadband routers for home, the model numbers are HUAWEI B183 and HUAWEI B153. They are fixed line broadband and is the perfect companion for Students who need a broadband connection in there diggs, and the most important feature is (you don’t need a landline to use it) just plug into your mains and Three will do the rest.

Today, let’s have a review what’s the features of the Webcube White HUAWEI B183 home broadband Router and what it can do for us.

Appearance

Webcube HUAWEI B183 is in a very classic design, looks like an hour glass, but has a sudden glance; you may think it’s a humidifier. In simple white, the cube shape is very attractive, different any other home router, which make it looks more like a home white goods, not just a network router.

On the top side, there is signal strength indicator, if it’s not working, you may not be able to see it. And with the single strength indicator, you will see the Power and WPS button. And there is logo on this face, sometime it’s “3”. 4GLTEmall.com provider unlocked HUAWEI B183 with HUAWEI logo, no contract and no limit. The top cover could be departed from the below part, at the side of the top cover, there is external antenna port and reset button covered by a slip.

Another side of the top cover, USIM card slot and network indicators are also configured. What’s more, there is USB port around, which is for test purposes only, not for users. So for most of the users who had get it first, they may don’t know how to use, where to plug SIM card, where to power it on. From above image, you will find details part of HUAWEI B183. Now it’s easy to operate to connect network.

HSPA+ Technology

HUAWEI B183 Home Broadband from Three with the latest HSPA+ offering up to 21.1Mbps download and up to 2 -5Mbps uploads, but you can expect to receive download speeds in excess of 10Mbps which without a landline is exceptionally good. This is also an exceptional deal for renters too who only wish to use the internet occasionally or are moderate users, also great for customers in rural areas of the UK where accessing the internet is hard to acquire.

Entry Level Broadband

The B183 Webcube offers up to 5 different connections at the same time enabling other family members to be online simultaneously, with a good wireless range extended up to 30 meters away from the cube and you still get a perfect signal anywhere around your home.

Go Anywhere Broadband

The great thing with the Webcube B183 is how easy it is to carry to a friend’s home and set up in next to no time so you can share a connection with them, when you receive your B183 Webcube from Three you have a (pre-defined SSID and Network Key) that only belongs to you, in the box you will have your password and info to input, then you are able to use your new Webcube for the first time.

You may ask there is HUAWEI B153, what is it? Actually, HUAWEI Webcube B153 has almost the same appearance and size of HUAWEI B183. The main difference between HUAWEI B183 and HUAWEI B153 is that B153 supports HSDPA 7.2Mbps while B183 support peak HSPA+ 21Mbps download speed. So if to get better network link, HUAWEI B183 is a good option, but if HSDPA 7.2Mbps can meet your requirement, HUAWEI B153 is a cost budget one for home router.

LTE Surf Sticks

LTE Sticks are technically radio modems, meaning little combined transmitting and receiving equipment, which operate on different frequencies.

They can be connected via the USB ports to virtually any device such as a larger netbook, laptop or home PC. The sticks are in demand, such as to use abroad, or a change to a new and faster wireless data technology, and they are easy to replace. In addition to the relatively small size and low weight, this versatility and the slight changes are the greatest advantage of the sticks.

Even with the older data radio technologies of UMTS and GSM, sticks still dominates the modem market, other solutions such as built-in modem or modem card format to be used much less frequently. For the majority of users, LTE Surfsticks will be the solution that makes mobile internet the fastest and easiest access.

The new LTE Sticks come from the Far East, currently dominate the South Korean manufacturer Samsung, LG Electronics and Pantech market, China’s Huawei tries to win over new entrants.

So the first LTE Stick was Samsung GT-B3740, which is developed by Samsung in Vodafone Brand. The next stick from Swedish-finished network operator Telia Sonera is the GT-B3710 from Samsung. Meanwhile, there is B3730, which dominated alongside LTE is UMTS and HSPA, GSM and EDGE, as well as wireless technologies. The device sends in LTE mode on the frequency 2600MHz. It is also used in the Vienna LTE network of the Austrian mobile operator A1 Telecom Austria. The B3740 is likely to be an optimized version with a similar standard.

The second LTE stick comes from Chinese mobile phone supplier, HUAWEI, it is HUAWEI E398. The device was tested in the LTE network of O2 and is now available at Telekom from the second half of 2011. In Austria, it is the mobile operator A1 Telekom Austria offered on its website.

Global Supply of LTE Sticks

There are very few data sticks, which are with wireless data LTE technology, so pure LTE Sticks have others technologies backward, such as UMTS, GSM and CDMA 2000 network to send and receive. Overall, a clear trend is emerging to stick with multi-technology, pure LTE Data sticks are shunned by the mobile operators.

The Pantech UML290, originates from South Korea, and sells for US Verizon Wireless LTE network. It’s like the stick used in Scandinavia and Austria from Samsung, sends an older and slower wireless technology on board. In the case it is spread in the U.S. CDMA 2000, and therefore he receives on 800 Mhz and 900 Mhz. For LTE reception, it is in the range of 700 MHz road.

The second stick, Verizon Wireless LG VL600 of the South Korean manufacturer LG Electronics. With LTE, it’s in the 700 MHz band travelling with the frequency used the U.S. 3G CDMA 2000 technology, it can send and receive on the 800MHz and 1900MHz band. LG Electronics also has the LD 100 model that is used in Japanese LTE network of Docomo. It also speaks several wireless data technologies, besides LTE, there is UMTS and HSPA, plug for the Japanese to travel abroad, GSM and GPRS are also included. GSM will be gradually switched off in Japanese networks.

What to look for LTE Sticks

All LTE Sticks on the market are significantly larger than the surf sticks with pure UMTS or GSM technologies; they therefore require more space on your laptop. If two or more USB ports close together, this may lead to another USB ports blocked. Therefore a rotatable mechanism for raising the stick is very useful to save some space with a bent 90 degrees stick, and most of these sticks have rotate mechanism.

Pure LTE Sticks can only be used where LTE is available. Since the LTE network is expanding coverage in many areas, it would take many years for LTE network to cover every corner. Therefore in some areas, you have to use other technologies UMTS and GSM, and the associated wireless data technologies HSPA and EDGE, to dominate the modem.

Several sticks offer external antenna connectors; one is for the older mobile technologies and one for LTE. This is an important consideration when buying, LTE will be predominantly at home or hospital use, we recommend you might install an LTE external antenna.

LTE Netbooks Guides

An LTE netbook is a small, portable computer with a built-in wireless modem that can send and receive with the LTE technology.

Networks usually have a screen with a screen size less than twelve inches, and the keyboard is much smaller. They are designed as a device with which it mainly goes mobile to the Internet. For other functions, such as writing or creating graphics are much less suitable.

Currently there are three LTE netbooks, which have already been presented to the public. All three are not on the market. The first netbook has been released for the LTE network of U.S. LTE operator Verizon Wireless.

The LTE Modems

The built-in LTE Modem into the netbook is a small wireless transmitter that is located inside the computer, and not visible from the outside. While sticks, routers an modems are connected in card form from the outside through a slot to the device, they are hidden under the hood here. The advantage of slots, such as the USB ports free for the other functions such as USB memory sticks.

These LTE modems to be installed in portable computers offer the chipmaker to already. They will be installed by netbook manufacturers buy only in more devices, if a sufficiently large market for such LTE netbooks has formed. First choice as a modem first LTE surf sticks will be, with which existing mobile computers for the new wireless data technology to be retrofitted.

Three Netbooks in the race

There are currently three LTE netbooks, which were presented to the publice. All three have been upgraded on the basis of existing models with an LTE radio modem. It is already clear that this will be the path of development, based on the most mobile LTE computer company, a successful model is upgraded with the new technology and is possibly still in the area for camera or hard disk.

South Korea’s Samsung showed the first LTE netbook at the beginning of 2010, the Samsung N150 LTE. It has been long on the market and according to experts, it’s a netbook with many others features such as LTE-enabled version with built-in wireless modem.

The first LTE netbook you will probably be able to buy is in the USA, since the Apple New iPad released, many PC manufacturers follow the trend, but there are many factors under worry. First, the 4G LTE band compatibility is big problem, because in different areas, the deployed 4G LTE spectrums are completely different, so there will be many brand models for even a single netbook. If one manufacturer want to produce on model to compatible with all the 4g LTE networks, it’s obvious unpractical. With higher price, the customer may not give a shit. Second, the power supply is a big headache in 3G netbook. The operation system Android and IOS both consumes power in large volumes; the battery with the device is not enough. When running on 4G, netbooks need more power, then it’s also a problem for manufacturers.

But with mobile power bank, the netbook could find a acceptable solution for power. HUAWEI E5756 is a device with power bank and WiFi router functions 2 in 1. It’s a good solution during this time, but it support HSPA+ 42Mbps download speed ,which seems for 3G Advanced network, not 4G.

ZTE MF28D 4G LTE CPE WiFi Router Review

2012 is definitely a year for 4G. From this year, 4G is becoming hot day after day. More and more operators plan to deploy 4G networks, or trial, or launch to commerce. It’s no doubt 4G market is large, and vendors all over the world try their best to gain more occupation.

ZTE MF28D 4G LTE CPE WiFi Router

Based on big volume investment of R&D, it’s no doubt that HUAWEI is now one of the most important leaders in 4G technology. Today we are not talking about HUAWEI, we are talk about ZTE. Since HUAWEI released HUAWEI B593 4G LTE CPE, ZTE, the second vendor in China, follows the steps of HUAWEI and launched its own brand 4G LTE CPE WiFi Router ZTE MF28D, so that to share more markets.

ZTE MF28D VS HUAWEI B593 4G LTE CPE WIFI ROUTER

ZTE MF28D is one of the latest 4G LTE CPE Router and which supports 100Mbps download speed and 50Mbps upload speed. Unlike ZTE MF91 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot, ZTE MF28D 4G Router is not portable in pocket, it need outside power supply and then work. It’s mainly for SOHO and office use, but if for small scale industrial use, it’s also workable. With square-shape design, it’s just like a mirror to show the network status from the LED indicators on the surface. But it doesn’t look very large from appearance.

The dimension is 202 × 160 × 30.5 mm. With a SIM card slot in and 4 RJ45 Ethernet ports, it could transfer 4G signal to WiFi and PC could also get connected via Ethernet cable. Since unlocked ZTE MF28D 4G router can offer 100Mbps high speed, this means ZTE MF28D can do a lot of complicated activities such as watch movie, play game online , read E-book, transmit files, etc. Users could use tablet, game console or smartphone to access internet via this wireless network. There is one VoIP telephone slot for USB, so it could also dial up and work as a telephone.

Mobile operator competition is becoming more terribly. Recently, we also observed a significant increase in the popularity of all kinds of mobile devices, so that we can have access to the Internet by ZTE MF28D 4G router,

And ZTE MF28D 4G Wireless Router could support most of the current operation systems, Windows, Mac, Linux. You may ask which one is better, comparing HUAWEI B593 and ZTE MF28D, frankly speaking, ZTE MF28D is a budget one if you think too much about HUAWEI price for HUAWEI B593.

Test Report on HUAWEI E392 Multimode 4G LTE USB modem

Previously, LTE sticks always available with branding and software of the large mobile operators Vodafone, O2 and Telekom. These sticks are printed externally with a logo of the network operator and the preinstalled software can often allow only certain SIM cards into the slot. Nowadays, Huawei E392 4G LTE Surf stick on the market can easily be used with any carrier and not tailored to a particular provider.

HUAWEI E392 4G LTE Multi-mode Data Card

The First Impression

The scope of delivery is only a small strap and some instructions. The wrist strap is also attached to the stick and on the cover for the USB port, thus preventing that the cover is lost. Overall looking, the Huawei E392 4G LTE Modem has quite large and bulky for a surf stick, which is certainly the fact that the USB port is not rotatable.

The Huawei E392 can be run on both Windows and Mac OS X. After you have inserted the SIM card and the flash drive connected to the computer, the connection software to install. Installation takes usually only a few minutes, then the LTE stick can be used immediately. If the PIN protection is enabled SIM card, you will be prompted to enter the PIN. Other settings do not normally need to be made, the connection software detects the inserted SIM card and automatically configures the matching connection parameters. If there are two different APNs with a provider, you can select them before joining in a dropdown menu. By clicking on the “Connect” the Internet connection is established – the Huawei E392 will select the fastest available network.

Under the LTE network, HUAWEI E392 could reach speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s download and the upload speed up to 50 MBit/s. Huawei E392 is not only suitable for all German LTE networks, but also in other countries, such as in Scandinavia and in Australia. When the stick is used in the UMTS network, based DC-HSPA + the speed could reach up to 43.2 Mbit/s- provided at the current location, this speed is also supported. In my test, I was able to achieve in the download about 52 Mbit/s in the Vodafone LTE network in the UMTS network of Telekom there were at least another 30 Mbit/s The high data rates are not only marketing, but with matching fare quite well in practice achievable.

The reception of the Huawei E392 is not quite as good as that of the Vodafone K5005 (or Vodafone K5006 ) or by Telekom Speed Stick LTE Telekom. while the telecom Speed Stick LTE 4G connection is possible, it shows the Huawei E392 3G networks only as available. In my experience, this is also due to the Huawei E392 can’t be rotated into a vertical position where the reception is usually a bit better. If you live in an under-served area, it is advisable to use an external antenna. For it provides the LTE stick two connections for two separate external antennas or MIMO antenna with two antenna connectors – depending on use case.

Conclusion:

Finally, we can see that the Huawei E392 definitely a good LTE stick. Especially for global travelers, HUAWEI E392 could support all major bands and frequencies; it’s a good companion to go all over the world. The preinstalled software can convince with easy operation and quick setup. Unlocked HUAWEI E392 4G LTE modem is a good gadget a enjoy 4G network. Or alternatively, it can keep fast connection under 3g network. Equipped with an alternative connection software, it is also possible to use the Vodafone K5005 with all network operators.
