Netgear has now three different mobile LTE routers for the network providers in Europe, making it become a serious contender for the top dogs Huawei and ZTE.\u00a0The latest model with the name AirCard 790<\/strong> dominates LTE\u00a0Category 6<\/strong>\u00a0(CAT6) and can reach speeds of up to 300 MBit\/s download. Operation is via a large, color touch screen and the battery is even used for charging other devices.\u00a0How does the Aircard 790 perform in practice, you will find from 4gltemall.com\/blog.<\/p>\n

Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Netgear AirCard 790<\/u><\/strong> router is supplied in a small cardboard box along with a power adapter and a USB cable.\u00a0The USB cable can be used to charge the battery and to connect to a computer.\u00a0In addition, there may be a user manual in different language to guide users how to do the simple settings in Netgear AC790 for internet connection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The body of the Netgear AirCard 790 is made \u200b\u200bentirely of plastic in order to achieve the best possible optical outputs and inputs.\u00a0The surface of the body is matt and feels high-quality, the workmanship is very good.\u00a0The flaps on the side antenna connectors (TS-9) make a good impression.\u00a0The back can be easily removed to change the battery and the\u00a0SIM card. This feature is better than other brand models such as Huawei E5786<\/a><\/strong> and ZTE MF970<\/a><\/strong>, whose batteries are built-in, user can\u2019t remove them for change.<\/p>\n

First LTE Cat6 hotspot with touchscreen<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many mobile LTE routers have a small display on the front, which shows the most important information clearly.\u00a0On AirCard 790 Hotspot, the manufacturer Netgear has gone one step further and has integrated a large touch screen in the unit, the operation can be done via the scrren like on a smartphone.\u00a0The display is 2.4 inches in size, bright and easy to read.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the large icons and clear labels, it\u2019s simple to operate the 790 Aircard for everyone.\u00a0The functions are quite extensive: There are statistics about data usage and online time, and as needed user can setup the volume limit of its own tariff and be alerted at certain boundaries.\u00a0Of course there is also the on or off option for data roaming abroad and if necessary, user can link data by entering the APN\u00a0and password, if the Netgear 790 does not automatically detect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regarding the operation via touch scrren, it is an improvement over devices which can also be controlled via web interface; users can do more deep settings from the web interface.<\/p>\n

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

LTE Cat.\u00a06 with 300 MBit\/s<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Netgear AirCard 790 Router achieved at speeds up to 300 Mbit\/s downstream and up to 50 Mbit\/s upstream in LTE network in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.\u00a0This is made \u200b\u200bpossible by the integrated\u00a0LTE Advanced\u00a0Cat.\u00a06 modem from Qualcomm, which additionally supports UMTS with DC-HSPA+.\u00a0GSM and EDGE cannot be reached by Netgear AirCard 790, which is still a bit strange, since all the other hotspots on the market support the 2G network.\u00a0On the other hand, it did not bother the test because stable and fast surfing anyway are possible only with UMTS and LTE and the network extension by now is quite good.<\/p>\n

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

In the test, we use the SIM cards from\u00a0Vodafone\u00a0and\u00a0Telekom, which were released in each case for the fastest speed.\u00a0The Netgear AirCard 790 Router<\/em> reaching speeds of just over 200 Mbit\/s in download and up to 44 Mbit\/s upstream.\u00a0But the usual data rates were between 50 and 120 Mbit\/s.\u00a0The latency times were between 20 and 40 milliseconds (depending on the test server).<\/p>\n

Dual Band Wireless AC<\/h4>\n

Up to 15 devices could connect with Netgear AC790<\/strong> router via wireless internet; the maximum unit number can also be set lower in the settings.\u00a0Thus, the high\u00a0LTE speeds\u00a0can also be used at the connected devices, and the latest\u00a0WLAN AC\u00a0standard available.\u00a0This delivers speeds up to 1200 Mbit\/s in the frequency ranges of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.\u00a0On request it is also possible to open a guest network, which is then provided with its own name and its own password and is separate from the main Wi-Fi.\u00a0A wireless extender or wireless repeater is installed in some Huawei LTE hotspots such as similar model E5786, but this function is not available in Netgear AirCard 790, which is one of the few weaknesses compared to the competition.<\/p>\n

Connectors for external antenna<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If reception is poor and slow speeds, it may be useful to an\u00a0external LTE antenna\u00a0to connect to the Netgear AirCard 790 hotspot.\u00a0These are two sides of\u00a0TS-9 connectors\u00a0are available, which are protected by a flap against dust.\u00a0An LTE antenna was tested with the Aircard 790 and the speeds is even double in rural areas sometimes, for example, in caravans or campers, an external antenna may be necessary to connect stable and quickly. Below is the tested 4G\/3G antenna and easy to take with the device:<\/p>\n

Strong Battery with Power Bank Function<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The battery in the Netgear AirCard 790 router is about 3,000 mAh strong and can be easily exchanged by the user, which is a positive exception compared to similar models.\u00a0The operating time is lasting approximately 10 to 11 hours, taking into account factors such as reception level, frequency of cell change and number of connected devices, which can significantly affect battery life.\u00a0A\u00a0special feature is the so-called Power Bank Function: With the supplied USB cable, other devices such as Smartphones can be charged via the Netgear AirCard 790 Battery.\u00a0This is ideal, for example, when the phone battery is empty, you would like to make a call and needs only to reload short.<\/p>\n
