Then plain hotspot on your smartphone may not be enough. Firstly, because it does not always provide the appropriate connection speed to several people at the same time, and secondly because the burden on smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore it comes the new gadget\u00a0<strong>Huawei\u00a0CarF<\/strong>i &#8211; small WiFi router, which need to put the SIM card and connect to the cigarette lighter socket in the car.\u00a0The Huawei CarFi connects to the fast 4G LTE mobile network and Internet broadcasts up to 10 people at once.\u00a0It is therefore suitable both for use in typical passenger cars and busses. Users can connect a couple of laptops, tablets, and even (if necessary) smartphones wirelessly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/huawei-carfi_E8377-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3611\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3611\" src=\"http:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/huawei-carfi_E8377-3.jpg\" alt=\"huawei-carfi_E8377 (3)\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/huawei-carfi_E8377-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/huawei-carfi_E8377-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/huawei-carfi_E8377-3-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/huawei-carfi-e8377-hilink-lte-hotspot.html\">Huawei CarFi<\/a> (E8377)<\/strong><\/em> is a small router, consisting of a plug into the car&#8217;s 12 V and an upper part, enlarged section in which there is a push button switch, antenna connector and of course a slot for a SIM card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the leg there is a sticker with the Network ID and the default password.\u00a0User should take a picture to save, because the sticker is easy to damage.\u00a0In addition, there are two stickers with the name and password, which are glued.

Other management could also be done when connected to the Huawei CarFi, and user can control the consumption of a data packet.<\/p>\n<p>When we checked the data rate in the big city, we can gain typically 30-35 Mb\/s. Even if we divide the speed on several devices, it will still be able to use the Internet easily, such as check email, use Google calendar, work on documents in the cloud and send &amp; receive small files.\u00a0The connection was stable.\u00a0There I had not met with cases of disconnecting one of the <strong>CarFi E8377<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Summary<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Huawei CarFi was doing a positive test.\u00a0First of all, it was very easy to install and use (management from a smartphone).\u00a0Secondly, you can connect up to 10 different devices at the same time to use them from the Internet.\u00a0Thirdly, featured router is not a big financial expenditure, and may prove to be very useful during a business trip (work in a car) or a long trip with friends and family.\u00a0If you drive often in the car with a few people and your car does not have its own WiFi router, the Huawei CarFi is recommendable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* fast 4G LTE Mobile Communications<\/p>\n<p>* WiFi hotspot, the ability to connect up to 10 devices simultaneously<\/p>\n<p>* stable operation<\/p>\n<p>* built-in USB port for charging smartphones<\/p>\n<p>* very simple setup and operation<\/p>\n<p>* operation via smartphone (application HiLink)<\/p>\n<p>* the ability to connect an additional antenna<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Buying Huawei CarFi router is most cost-effective when the car will be benefited for a few people (some devices) at the same time.\u00a0Therefore, a good idea is to buy a large package of data plan on the mobile phone number. With an average, load should be at least 10 GB per month, and at a higher 25 GB or more.\u00a0The cost of purchasing the router is not very big.
