The Netgear AirCard 785s<\/a><\/strong> is a small mobile LTE hotspot router, which could be used on holiday or traveling.\u00a0With the Aircard 785s, smartphones and tablets as well as laptops can easily connect to the Internet.\u00a0Up to 15 wireless-enabled devices can be powered via the AC785S LTE router to the Internet.\u00a0We have subjected the Aircard 785s on the road to a test.\u00a0The device is simultaneously dual-band and\u00a0WLAN n-capable\u00a0.Per LTE Cat.\u00a04, the speeds of up to 150 Mbit\/s are supported in the downstream.<\/p>\n

Netgear Aircard 785s<\/u> comes with the dimensions 109.9 x 68.9 x 14.6 millimeters and weighing 127 grams, and is therefore compact and lightweight.\u00a0The processing of the\u00a0mobile hotspot\u00a0is impeccable, we found no sharp edges.\u00a0In addition, the design is appealing: Because on the front is a triangular design element installed, behind which the rectangular display hides.\u00a0While Netgear sets the front and back of the AirCard 785s in the color of black, the plastic frame is kept in metal optics.\u00a0The back cover is removable, so as the battery of 2000 mAh capacity, which covers the SIM card slot.\u00a0Inserting the SIM card was smooth, but the removal is not easy due to the design.\u00a0We also spend more power than expected when removing the battery. On the lower side a respective antenna connectors are left and right integrated.\u00a0In the middle of antenna connectors, the Micro-USB port is located.<\/p>\n

Installation and Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

After the SIM card plugged into Aircard 785s<\/strong>, we first had to connect the device to a power source, so that we could start the mobile hotspot, because the AC785S came with an empty battery.\u00a0Then the user has to select the language via the display.\u00a0The menu navigation is not via touch screen, but with two buttons that are located on the upper side of the frame (facing the display).\u00a0While the left button works for the confirmation of entry, as the on and off button is the right button to navigate to the next item.\u00a0Note: If you inserted a different micro-SIM card into the device, the mobile hotspot from Netgear must be restarted.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Netgear<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

So runs the Aircard 785s: First of all, WiFi in the smartphone or laptop must be enabled and are searching for the Netgear hotspot on the device.\u00a0This shows then NTGRFAC6.\u00a0The network generated is then selected and Security Key must be entered, which is displayed on the display of the Netgear 785s<\/strong>, also named password of the LTE router.\u00a0The device worked without problems in our test and is likely to be implemented quickly for everyone. Further settings and configuration of the router can be done via the website http:\/\/netgear.aircard.\u00a0Here, the user must first enter the password, and then change it by dashboard (under the “Private”), where user can overview a complete of the connected devices, the monthly usage, the wireless information and the current wireless session.<\/p>\n

Overall user interface for the various settings in\u00a0the 785 Aircard router is designed very clear and easy to understand.\u00a0The design is simple and not too cluttered.\u00a0In the menu, “WLAN” can be edited under “Connect” the main and secondary wireless network. The master and guest WLAN can be configured under “Options”.\u00a0Here the encryption, the 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz frequency band and the number of allowable WLAN devices are adjustable.\u00a0Users will have the ability to assign a certain number of devices the master and guest Wi-Fi.\u00a0The final point is the Mac filter mode: Here appliances a blacklist or whitelist or no list can be assigned.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under the general “settings”, the user can define, for example, the screen brightness, the screen circuit hotspot LED, hibernation and the language for the 785S LTE router.\u00a0In addition to the instrument settings to place the item “software and resetting”: Here you can restore the settings and retrieve software updates. The menu item “Network” provides additional settings for network mode, APN, the SIM card security and more status details.\u00a0The last point is “router”, where the user is able, UPnP on or off, set up a port forwarding or port filtering.<\/p>\n

If you want to configure the Aircard 785 by phone or tablet, you need install a suitable app from the respective iOS or Android Store, alternatively via the website\u00a0www.netgear.com\/AirCardApps. The Aircard app offers a quick way to change the settings and has a good menu structure.<\/p>\n

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

Display and status indicator<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Over the 4.5-centimeter screen of Netgear AC785S<\/strong>, the user can see the status information for 4G\/3G network, the wireless connection, the battery life and can set up basic wireless configurations and set an alarm and notification function.\u00a0However, user may not expect too much from the screen resolution.\u00a0On the LCD screen, at the top of the display, it indicates signal strength, 4G, data transfer and the wireless network.\u00a0Among the current battery status, it also indicates the number of users connected to the mobile hotspot AC785S and the status of the consumed data volume.<\/p>\n

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

Right above the display, the LED status is visible.\u00a0Through a slow flash of blue light, that is signaled.\u00a0When data is being transferred, then the blue light will flash twice.\u00a0A slow, yellow light signals, it means the user that the internet is still not connected to any network.<\/p>\n

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

First experiences in operation<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

In operation, the Netgear AirCard 785s<\/strong> looks good and comes on a single charge for about 6 hours and 30 minutes in our test.\u00a0And the Aircard 785 can keep continuous operation of a battery life of up to 8 hours.\u00a0The posting the individual devices via the\u00a0LTE router\u00a0worked fine and fast.\u00a0The assignment of the number of connected devices has been well implemented by the netgear 785s in our test. According to the Netgear official specs, it could support up to 15 wireelss devices, we tested only 10 users.\u00a0Nevertheless, it is still a useful companion in the mobile LTE router.\u00a0Especially on holiday or at a meeting in the park with a few friends, the Aircard 785 has proven to be extremely helpful in our testing.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The small mobile LTE router Netgear AirCard 785s<\/strong> has a nice design and is easy to configure via a web browser or via app for iOS, Android and Amazon devices.\u00a0However, the display cannot be operated by finger touch.\u00a0In addition, a battery with more capacity would be desirable, especially for users who travel a lot, are on vacation at the beach or professionally have multiple wireless devices in his luggage.
