At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Netgear introduced the new mobile hotspot AirCard 790\u00a0which differs of most competitor products on several features.\u00a0Particularly striking is the color touch screen on the top of the unit.\u00a0Given the opportunity, the aircard 790s mobile hotspot is stationary in a Netgear docking station. In addition, the Netgear aircard 790s dominated\u00a0LTE Cat.\u00a0<\/u>6\u00a0and thus supports mobile data connections of up to 300 Mbit\/s downstream and 50 Mbit\/s upstream.\u00a0This is far from all its competitors in the case.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Netgear 790s<\/strong> mobile hotspot\u00a0is 6.6 x 11 x 1.5 centimeters and weighs 136 grams.\u00a0The device is therefore small and portable so that it can be easily transported in a pocket or purse.\u00a0 And the unit lies comfortably in the hand.<\/p>\n

The advantage over many other mobile hotspots is also the possibility to replace the battery, and the body of Aircard 790 is thin. Under the battery is the SIM card slot, wherein Netgear sets here for the\u00a0micro-SIM standard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The aircard 790 router can be used as an external battery pack for a smartphone.\u00a0A suitable connection cable is included as well as a charger for the AirCard 790.\u00a0If you want to operate the device in other regions, but can also use any other power adapter with microUSB cable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The mobile hotspot 790s can be used with SIM cards from any providers.\u00a0The device supports\u00a0WLAN at 2.4 and 5 GHz, wherein the second frequency band can be switched on optionally.\u00a0Multiple SSIDs and guest accounts can be set up.\u00a0Further, the configuration of the device is possible almost completely directly via the touchscreen.\u00a0Administration is possible via smartphone apps that Netgear offers, or via the web interface, which can be reached through the Internet browser of a connected smartphone, tablet or computer, unnecessary in most cases.<\/p>\n

\"netgear-aircard-790s-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the display of 790S small router, a signal strength meter and the name of the cellular network that currently received network technology are displayed by default.\u00a0There are also an icon that indicates whether the data connection is established, the name and password of the Wi-Fi hotspots as well as the current connected user, which can be configured via the menu.\u00a0The remaining in the billing period days are shown.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About submenu, the user comes to incoming\u00a0SMS messages.\u00a0In addition, SMS can be created and also send text messages from the AirCard 790.\u00a0Other topics let the user configuration.\u00a0Among other things, the device can be used as a USB modem instead of Wi-Fi hotspots.<\/p>\n

Direct comparison with smartphones and Huawei MiFi<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the test, the WLAN range was slightly higher than that of the Huawei E5786<\/a><\/strong> used in parallel.\u00a0Also, the\u00a0LTE-800 reception\u00a0was above average, as has been shown also in direct comparison with smartphones like the Apple iPhone SE<\/a> and OnePlus. We put the Netgear aircard 790s router alternately with SIM cards from Telekom, Vodafone and O2.\u00a0The respective provider is automatically detected, so that a manual configuration of Internet access was not necessary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Telecom network in Frankfurt, we reached top speeds of 120 Mbit\/s.\u00a0In Berlin we came up with up to 80 Mbit\/s and in Munchen, the performance was 20 to 30 Mbit\/s downstream.\u00a0These are the results that we have achieved with the Aircard 790s. Here the Netgear 790S router kept much longer in touch with the LTE or UMTS network as the counterpart of Huawei.<\/p>\n

Battery lasts as Netgear promises<\/strong><\/p>\n

Netgear speaks officially of a battery life of eleven hours.\u00a0This value we have not quite reached in the endurance test, in which a MacBook Air was permanently attached to the AirCard 790. A little more than ten hours held the\u00a0battery\u00a0in good LTE coverage in Telecom network but the mobile hotspot had to be connected to the charging cable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For practical use,\u00a0Netgear\u00a0provide the possibility that the aircard 790 hotspot<\/strong> operation is automatically stopped to be determined at the user idle time in order to save battery capacity.\u00a0\u00a0In practice, the battery lasts for longer working days in each case.<\/p>\n

\"netgear-aircard-790s-4\"<\/p>\n

What we did not like in the test: Similar to a Windows Phone, the Netgear AirCard 790 boots whenever that is connected to the charging cable.\u00a0It is not necessarily said that the mobile hotspot is needed only because the battery is about to be supplied with fresh capacity, for example, when you come to a trade fair straight home and the next day with a fully charged battery would leave the house.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Netgear AirCard 790<\/a><\/strong> could largely satisfy the test.\u00a0The device worked always reliably even in hours of use, the battery capacity is sufficient for one day and LTE Cat.\u00a06 is exactly what is currently available in many mobile networks worldwide.\u00a0Here now, the unlocked Netgear aircard 790s is available on www.4gltemall.com<\/a>, you can also check other netgear aircards 4G here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.4gltemall.com\/4g-wireless-router\/netgear-4g-lte-router.html .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
