Great value, professionally configured router.
The unit I received was in "as new" condition and was unlocked for all networks. It was originally a "three networks" device but has had its firmware replaced with the Nordic_MF286D_B12 firmware which unlocks extra features and gives you more information about the cells you are connected to and their performance. Lots of help included with the device in case you need assistance and a free O2 SIM from Eternal Communications in case you need to avail yourself of a UK unlimited SIM plan. All in all, great value and the unit works superbly for a 4G unit, pulling a download speed of 50-80 MBps in my area using a Three SIM. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Made such a difference to my mobile wifi.
Made such a difference to my mobile wifi. I am with Smarty and always used TP-Link various models, the speeds were terrible 3/4 mbps, kept losing connection, tried upgrading to the newest model, no change.Tried the ZTE wireless router, easy to set up, and what a difference speeds of 40 plus mbps!!

It works well - but some things to be aware of
The unit is OK if a bit flimsy and light - simple to set up with a full sized sim card put into the slot following the user guide.Turned it on - power light came on immediately, waited for the wifi light and signal strength light to turn blue.Plugged my Ethernet cable into PC and router. 192.168.32.1 according to the guide is the admin page, it failed to connect - looking at the label on the router it is actually 192.168.0.1 - which also failed to connect. The wifi light was on so , being without a smart phone luckily I have a tablet which accepted the password from the label (has to be 15 characters apparently numbers , upper case and lower case letters only) - once I was into the settings it became apparent that the device has two operating modes 1= wireless 2 = PC.The 4G indicator on mine flashes blue constantly and the unit uses just over 1 megabyte per day of data even when not being used for internet - it is supposed to be solid blue when registered to a network - this however does not seem to be a problem.I turned on the PC mode and was then able to get into settings using my PC.The wifi security appears to be WPA2-PSK by default - might be changeable - will have a look later.There is a WPS button so any device with WPS does not need a huge password to be input.Wifi signal seems good, but I rarely use wifi .Download speeds between 110 mbps early mornings and 30 mbps at peak times - upload speeds also seem OK.The phone works using the sim card number - there are two phone sockets , which I find odd, one would do surely.The LAN ports are full gigabit - I saw my first 120Mega Bytes per second file transfer using this router.On balance so far it is good and works well but a bit unusual in having a default of wireless only connection on set up and the settings interface is also a bit weird - password for the router is upper case letters and numbers only.

1mbs data? my phone was 50mbs
I got just1mbs from this device, with my old phone in the same position I got 50mbs.Amazon refunded very quick is the 1 star.The unit gave 3 bars signal from transmitter, so the signal was strong enough.My tv was no more than 10ft away from the only spot I got a 1mbs, my tv wouldn't pick up the signal to get any data. A test on my main phone and it showed 1mbs from this router.The item was a used item but looked new, it stated that, clearly a return from someone else.Embarrassingly slow when you read the write up claim as a cat 12 600mbs. I ADDED THE two AERIALs IT COMES WITH, NO DIFFERENCE.I have returned after just a few hours.I was positive and excited when it arrived, it looked robust.I have ordered another mobile router from the same company.I DONT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING THIS ITEM, it is possible I just had a bad one. AMAZON HAVE REFUNDED WITHOUT QUESTION. I WOULD HAVE PREFERED TO HAVE A ROUTER THAT WORKED, BUT IT DIDN'T. IS IT BECAUSE IT was ALREADY A FAULTY RETURN OR A SUBSTANDARD ITEM? I WILL NEVER KNOW.IF AMAZON or the supplier WANT TO SEND ME ANOTHER FREE ONE TO TEST, PLEASE DO, IF IT WORKS I WILL PAY IMMEDIATELY and I will be happy to give 5 * stars

Good replacement for a basic wired broadband.
Excellent device.I was skeptical initially on whether this will help me replace a wired broadband. But it is quite good and serves the purpose well. I'm getting around 45mbs download speed consistently. But don't expect 5g / fiber speeds.
