quite warm, but the operating temperature is always at an appropriate level.<\/p>\n<p>On the front of the Huawei E5377, between the Huawei logo and the power button, there is a square display, where a variety of information such as reception, network technology, the spent data volume are shown clearly.\u00a0The display is not permanently lit to save energy, it only turns on when you press the power button or a wireless device is connected. \u00a0Furthermore, you can find a menu button on the top edge, with which you can make a few settings in combination with the power button.\u00a0Thus, for example the ability to display a QR code through which smartphones or tablets enter into the App Store by scanning the code.\u00a0There Huawei HiLink app can be downloaded.\u00a0With this app, further adjustments can be done to the E5377, such as change the wireless network name or password.<\/p>\n<p><a
