LTE CAT4 stick<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

For a long time, Vodafone only has the predecessor Vodafone<\/strong>\u00a0K5150<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for sale, which are already LTE category\u00a04 dominated. With the new K5160 Stick, Vodafone operates more facelift, but LTE CAT6 is still in vain.\u00a0With LTE Cat6, up to 225 Mbps could be reached.\u00a0But we can only achieve with a CAT6-device, which so far only the Vodafone<\/strong>\u00a0R226<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0offers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

From the basic information here, the Vodafone K5160 is similar to\u00a0Telekom Speed \u200b\u200bStick 5.\u00a0Since Vodafone unfortunately does not specify, it is strongly expected that it also is a E3372s-153 from Huawei.\u00a0Therefore be supported at least 5\u00a0LTE frequency bands\u00a0– LTE800 more specifically, 900, 1800, 2100 and 2600 MHz.\u00a0In particular, the former and the latter is essential for Vodafone customers.\u00a0In addition, the 4G Stick naturally offers backward compatibility with GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA+ networks. Thus, surfing the 3G network, after all, also up to 42 Mbps fast.<\/p>\n

External antenna<\/h4>\n

The “Connect USB speed 6<\/strong>” (K5160) has 2 ports for operation with an\u00a0external LTE antenna\u00a0.\u00a0As jack comes Type CRC-9\u00a0used.\u00a0MIMO\u00a02 \u00d7 2 is also supported accordingly. You can get the indoor and outdoor antenna for Vodafone K5160 from the above link in the blank.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Installation and App<\/h4>\n

The key installed during initial operation on your computer, the “Vodafone Mobile Broadband App” (VMB).\u00a0Here the settings can be made and users can request information for the connection, such as connection time spent, surfing volume etc. User can download the app from the Windows Store for Windows 8 & 10.<\/p>\n

Availability<\/h4>\n

Amazingly, the Vodafone K5160<\/a><\/strong> is not directly offered. If you like this 4G LTE Stick, you can get unlocked Vodafone K5160 from www.4gltemall.com<\/a> . Actually, if you don\u2019t need the customized version from Vodafone, you can directly get the Huawei E3372s-153, which has all the features of Vodafone Connect USB Speed 6. The difference between them is the logo and customized firmware for Vodafone. Other functions are completely the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
