<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nIn the contract, congstar presented a WLAN Cube, also a suitable router manufactured by Huawei, which converts the LTE Internet access into a WLAN signal, which then makes it possible to provide internet for smartphones, tablets and notebooks with a wireless Internet access supply.\u00a0A device can also be connected directly to the WLAN Cube using an Ethernet cable.<\/p>\n
We have s the opportunity to test the homespot rate of congstar together with the WLAN Cube since last week.\u00a0The\u00a0SIM card\u00a0must be\u00a0inserted into the router slot.\u00a0The WLAN Cube is then supplied with power via the included power supply unit.\u00a0The PIN of the SIM card must then be entered.\u00a0This works via the configuration menu of the router, which can be reached at address\u00a0192.168.8.1<\/em>\u00a0via a connected smartphone, tablet or notebook.\u00a0For future use, the SIM PIN can be stored so that it does not have to be entered again.<\/p>\n Congstar Homespot from Huawei E5180<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The WLAN access data and the homespot model are to be found on the underside of the router, which in the original is called Huawei E5180<\/strong>.\u00a0After initial commissioning, the SSID as well as the password can be customized.\u00a0In addition, users have the option of switching from the automatic selection of the WLAN channel to manual selection. The WLAN Cube is supported only by the much heavily overloaded 2.4 GHz range. If you want to use a 5 GHz router, you have to check other models such as the latest Huawei B525<\/strong><\/a> and Huawei E5186<\/strong><\/a> wireless gateway. If you want to use your own router instead of the congstar WLAN Cube, you have to make sure that it has the LTE standard and the frequency ranges used around 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the test also showed that congstar Homespot is not only working with 4G network.\u00a0If\u00a0LTE is\u00a0not available at the desired location, the cube would work on 3G or 2G network automatically.\u00a0We have switched the WLAN Cube, however, experimentally via the configuration menu to the GSM-only mode.\u00a0Afterwards we were shown a strong signal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the signal strength of the received mobile network, the configuration menu for the Huawei E5180 router also shows the current connection time and the transferred data volume. The WLAN status and information about the connected users are also available.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n congstar as well as the manufacturer Huawei officially speak the E5180 Cube of a WLAN range of up to 250 meters.\u00a0We have not achieved this value in practice.\u00a0However, the signal is quite comparable to that of a classic DSL router like an AVM FRITZ! Box 7490.\u00a0A mobile hotspot is much weaker.\u00a0If, for example, a Huawei E5776<\/strong><\/a> is only sufficient for supplying a small apartment or a hotel room, the congstar WLAN Cube can quite well cover a one-family house with wireless Internet access.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speed Test Good<\/strong><\/p>\n We have continuous operated the\u00a0wireless hotspot over several days.\u00a0Internet access was always reliably available.\u00a0A restart of the router was not required to stay on reception.\u00a0The two lights on the outside of the device, which on the one hand display WLAN availability and, at the very least, the current strength of the received LTE signal, is practical.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over several days, we have examined the data transfer rates offered by congstar’s internet access.\u00a0The provider itself provides up to 20 MBit\/s in the downstream.\u00a0This value was also achieved in the test, whereby the LTE signal strength also plays a role here.\u00a0If only a medium reception\u00a0level is displayed on the router, the data throughput also drops.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n On average, we reached between 20 and 21 MBit\/s in the downstream and 5 to 6.5 MBit\/s in the upstream.\u00a0The response times were between 17 and 25 ms.\u00a0The congstar homespot therefore provided similar performance data, such as a VDSL-25 connection in the fixed network.\u00a0Even the somewhat higher latencies compared to the fixed net do not make themselves noticeable with normal surfing, with the use of e-mails, fairs, etc.\u00a0It may not be the case for gamers, who need the lowest possible ping times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It should be borne in mind that our performance tests have only been carried out at the location in Hessian Spessart, which is registered as the usage address for the congstar Homespot.\u00a0We also carried out measurements on different days and at different times of the day.\u00a0The results were quite similar, with Telekom’s LTE-800 radio cell, which is available here, with a unrestricted data SIM generally providing data rates between 40 and 50 MBit\/s in the downstream.<\/p>\n However, our results are not comparable to data rates and ping times at other sites.\u00a0Depending on the number of users and the user behavior, depending on the network configuration and capacity, there can be significant differences.\u00a0Above all, in cities it is quite possible that the well-developed LTE network of the Telekom has some overloading phenomena.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In summary, the Huawei E5180 congstar homespot is good for wireless supply at a house, but missing the 5GHz WiFi band. The Ethernet port is also good for desktop and the internet speed is also good for most cases.
