ZTE U50, 5G Portable WiFi Hotspot with SIM Slot Unlocked, Lowcost 5G Modem Router for 32 Home/Business Devices, 5G&4G+, AX1800 WiFi 6, up to 32 Devices

I've been looking to upgrade our motorhome Wi-Fi for a while. I've previously used both Huawei and LTE 4G Mobile Hotspots but with 5G now rolling out more widely I wanted to take advantage of the higher data transmission speeds especially for streaming video. This unit is the first one I've found that is reasonably affordable. It's much bigger (and heavier) than my old Huawei 5577 4G hotspot but this is a good thing as it provides space for a much larger internal antenna and a larger battery. Reception and signal strength seem much improved over the older 4G units. So far, I've had no problems getting a good signal in our motorhome using one of two positions in the van; either by the habitation door or on the dashboard. The ZTE U50 supports external antennas so I might get one to use in poorer signal areas. I'm using an existing EE data SIM but my unit was delivered with a Smarty Data SIM so you have everything you need to get up and running with mobile data. It recognised the EE SIM and auto-configured so I was up and running in under a minute. It charges via USB-C and battery life is excellent; around 10 hours. One thing to note - it goes in to sleep mode if nothing is connected to it and you have to wake it up (with a short press of the power button) in order to re-connect. It doesn't seem to get too warm in use either. Highly recommended.

This is a very good router, outstanding connection speed, but I'm not impressed by the externals aerials connections could be so much better. Also battery life has a lot to be desired, probably last for a couple of hours, before haveing to be connecting two power supplies. But still a very good router

Been using the ZTE U50 5G Portable WiFi Hotspot for about a month now and honestly, it’s been solid. Setup was straightforward, delivery was quick, and it works pretty much exactly as advertised. I’m consistently getting around 38 Mbps download and 27 Mbps upload, which has been more than enough for everyday use. I’ve connected multiple devices without any major issues, and the connection has stayed stable. For a low-cost 5G modem/router that supports up to 32 devices and WiFi 6, I really can’t complain. So far, it’s been reliable and does the job well 👍

This item is a great idea in theory, but it has its problems. There are no lights on when the product is on, so you don’t know when the WiFi is on. The signal it emits gives an okay speed of about 50mbps when right next to the device, but more than 4 meters away it drops to around 8mbps. It has to stay plugged in as the battery barely lasts 10-15 minutes, and it gets VERY hot. Setting it up took way longer than it should have, because as I said earlier, the lights didn’t come on and I assumed it was faulty. It gets the job done eventually. The ping is around 82ms, NOT ideal for gaming. I’m disappointed as there is a 5G tower within close distance. My phone gets 350mbps on 5G, not this device. I use this device for my other devices around the house. Not worth the price it costs!

What a great device, I've never had any issues with this, perfectly works and connects without any issues, would highly recommend

Straight out the box put my personal EE phone sim in it. Plugged it in Switched on and perfect 5G within seconds. A little point to note the password is where it says pass key on the sticker under the battery cover. connected tablet and phone played 2 films at the same time and no wheel of death. You can plug an external antenna into it if you wish to buy one. But it works bang on at the site we are at in cornwall so no need at the moment. It will come in dead handy for car journeys as well as it charges from a standard use C charger. And my personal phone is on a sim only contract and unlimited data but at 100mps max speed but on 5G it is spot and plenty for a couple of tablets playing films or 4 phones Web browsing. And as its 5g and wifi6 it will be good for a few years without it being totally out dated. Obviously all this is dependent on the signal you have in your area. But my phone had reasonable 4G in the same spot and this is getting 5G full strength so it's a definite improvement. All in all I would recommend and if it's not working in your area due to signal strength you can try an external antenna a change of service provider and if all that fails just send it back free return. Worth noting it came with a free smarty data only sim which you can just activate if you wish and add credit as you go as there is no contract. I think they use the 3 network so good for cornwall. I will update if I have any issues but at the moment so far so good.

As soon the warm weather arrive the conexion is the worse a never have , and now I can't no contact with any support, I can't not send it back and I have a 150 router for nothing

It’s a great device but I just had problems connecting to the WiFi box

منتج بصراحه ممتاز مثل ما جاء في الوصف شكراً

EL VENDEDOR MANDA UNA VERSION POLACA QUE NO TIENE ESPAÑOL. ADEMAS ES UN FIRMWARE MUY ANTIGUO Y NO PUEDE DAR PROBLEMAS. SI TIENEN CAJA NEGRA NO SON BUENOS.

Apparecchio veramente eccellente. Veloce, interfaccia reattiva, scalda poco, stabilità della connessione ottima. Vanno segnalate alcune limitazioni: - il router arriva pre-configurato in polacco, i manuali sono solo in polacco e sul sito non sembra esserci una guida ufficiale, la lingua italiana non é disponibile, alternative sono tedesco e inglese - per HO bisogna creare il profilo a mano - non é possibile impostare sul router dei DNS personalizzati

Très compliqué à synchroniser en WiFi. Je l’ai renvoyé.

Blir väldigt varm. Stänger ner sig efter ett par timmar vilket gör att sensorer och kameror mm uppkopplade mot den blir offline. Skräp. returneras.
