Huawei E5180 Router, also better known as\u00a0A1 Net Cube<\/strong>, has a completely new design like a cube. Today, let us have a look at the most beautiful LTE router on the market.\u00a0First of all, this is from the Chinese Manufacturer Huawei.\u00a0Whether the LTE cube E5180 with the beautiful appearance also has other advantages, we will have a review in this test.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have rarely seen such a router: Most such devices would not necessarily have such a beauty shape.\u00a0The box is kept in a very simple and pleasant design.\u00a0The decorative LED is at the top.\u00a0The LED top could aslo turn on and off the E5180 cube by pressing the Huawei logo.\u00a0This simple design element makes this router very user-friendly.\u00a0By a long press on the Huawei logo, user can turn off the cube.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the package, we will find a LAN cable, power supply and a Quick Start Guide.\u00a0The Huawei E5180 Wi-Fi router itself still has the following features: Two LED indicators on the front – they inform us of the WLAN and the network status.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the back we find a network WAN port, the power connection and a telephone connection port. No more LAN or USB ports can be found.\u00a0And there is no external antenna connector.\u00a0The micro-SIM card is inserted into a slot at the bottom of the E5180 cube.\u00a0There we also find the reset button.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The operation of Huawei Cube E5180<\/strong><\/a> is very simple: Simply insert the SIM card and get started.\u00a0The settings for the network will automatically configure normally.\u00a0We find the SSID and wireless password on the bottom of the router.\u00a0Connect your device to the SSID and then you can surf freely.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The A1 Net Cube Huawei E5180 Router uses all major network standards: GSM, UMTS (HSDPA Dual Cell) and\u00a0LTE.\u00a0However, LTE Carrier Aggregation, also\u00a0called LTE Cat6, is not supported.\u00a0But this should not be a problem because LTE Cat4 bandwidths of up to 150 Mbit\/s support; for most users that is fast enough.\u00a0In practice, I have achieved the download speed up to 85Mbit\/s and upload speed to about 43 Mbit\/s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the most important purchasing criteria for a router is the network capability.\u00a0The Huawei E5180 offers the current standards with the 802.11b\/g\/n, but only in the 2.4 GHz range, the area around 5 GHz is not supported.\u00a0The wireless coverage range is 250 meters according to Huawei, in practice I had good reception in my whole house (old building).\u00a0Up to 32 clients could access the WiFi network for surfing.\u00a0A small disadvantage is the speed: The Ethernet LAN connection only allows a maximum of 100 Mbit\/s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A1 Net Cube Huawei E5180 Technical data <\/strong>at a glance<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

LTE: Cat 4 until max. download up to\u00a0150 Mbit\/s, up to max.\u00a050 Mbit\/s upload
\nUMTS: DC-HSPA+, up to max.\u00a042.2 Mbit\/s for down, up to max.\u00a05.76 Mbit\/s upload
\nGSM: EDGE, GPRS
\nconnections: 1x Ethernet LAN connection 100 MBit\/s, 1x RJ-11 for telephone
\nWLAN:\u00a0Wi-Fi 802.11a\/b\/g\/n, 2.4 GHz for up to 32 Equipment and 4 SSIDs;\u00a0250 meter range<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The web interface looks very tidy and clear.\u00a0On the home page, the most important information such as the link status and network strength are displayed.\u00a0In addition, SMS can be sent and interface settings are made around the network.\u00a0The connection type can be changed by a few clicks, you can switch the network in 2G, 3G or 4G. Basically, the built-in router antenna seems to do a good job, with the A1 Net Cube I had better reception than at the same location with the phone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Huawei E5180 Cube router can also configure via App.\u00a0Through the\u00a0\u00a0Huawei Mobile WiFi app,\u00a0\u00a0SMS can be sent, to make network settings and statistics can be accessed.\u00a0The Chinese manufacturer Huawei saves us much time for unnecessary and complicated barriers to entry. Thus the Huawei E5180 router is recommended quite clear for those of us who do not want to stay long with the service or the study of manuals themselves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those who want more LAN ports, a USB port, gigabit LAN or advanced networking configuration options, the A1 Net Cube may not meet your requirements.\u00a0Another Huawei E5186<\/a> 4G LTE router is recommended.<\/p>\n
