Router Alcatel Link Hub 4G LTE Unlocked Worldwide HH41NH Multibam 150 Mbps Wi-Fi (4G LTE USA Latin Caribbean Euro Asia Africa) + RJ45 Up to 32 Users HH41NH-2BTGMXA-1

Its been plugged in ever since i bought other than with power cuts the battery is holding up so far, Signal strength is amazing considering where i live, it was real easy to setup followed the instructions to the tea, still not the speed that i want it to be but it works so it is good in my book.

Great product. I travel to a part of the world that uses 700/800 GSM and this little product works wonderfully. As a matter of fact I’m writing this review using the device as my WIFI! The fact it’s unlocked and uses a sim makes it flexible for travel! The fact that the plug is a usb type allows you to use a power bank in times of power outages which is handy while traveling outside of the U.S!!

I currently use this in my car as a mobile hotspot to replace my Mobley, as this device can connect to more bands than the Mobley, and it provides a solid data speed with AT&T. It's small enough to install in a car and hide it in my glovebox, using the USB power from my car stereo. In my area, I get a solid 20 x 20 Mbps connection from AT&T with this unit when the reception is good.The only real issue is that the antennas are hard to tighten, as the antenna hookups are very recessed into the unit, but not a big deal if you don't move it around too much, or if you wish to wire the antennas (and not use the ones it comes with). The other nice feature is that it has a LAN port, which means you can connect anything to it, including a 5 GHz AP if you wanted.I do definitely recommend going into the settings and disabling the data limit settings unless you have a good reason to use that feature, otherwise, you might have some of the timeout issues mentioned in other reviews (though honestly, as I use this in my car, I don't think mine has been on long enough to trigger any possible time outs).I suppose that this unit would also be good if you needed backup internet data to supplement your primary connection or needed a connection in a rural area with limited options. I've only ever used this device with AT&T, which works very well, though they don't recognize the device type from the IMEI (shows up as an "Unknown Device"), which may actually be a good thing, depending on the plan you have and how you want to use it. If you have the Mobley Connected Car plan, the AT&T APN is "broadband" instead of "nxtgenphone" or "phone". (I actually use this in my car exclusively, so I'm not violating the terms of my plan, or at least the spirit of it.)The device does feature an RJ-11 jack for a standard landline telephone connection, but I don't know how well the phone jack and line work in the device, as my plan isn't compatible with that (AT&T locks down VoLTE anyway to approved devices only anyway). It can receive text message notifications accessible on its configuration page, but I don't know if it can send them.

After unboxing, I adjusted its "Monthly Data Plan" to "0" and "Auto Disconnected" unchecked. These options are necessary to avoid disconnecting the LTE signal overnight. This router has a built in DHCP server and support for up to 32 clients. I've heard that OpenWRT firmware can be installed to make more configurations options available, but I haven't tested this yet.Inside my house with "one bar" of phone service, the statistics page reports SNR between -8 to 0dB, weak but usable for 20Mbits download and upload with Mint mobile LTE and a wired Ethernet cable. Reported signal strength is the same without external antennas, but I haven't tested LTE speeds without them.Unfortunately the 2.4 WiFi is slow and a "speed test" shows just 10Mbps up/down through LTE. Its wired Ethernet ports are 100Mbps, effectively limited by their LTE4 connection so it's not a problem.A phone plugged into the RJ11 jack works fine. it has a dial-tone and rings for incoming calls. The device's built-in website reads and sends SMS, but it's very basic without a contact list or other features.With the adjusted data plan settings, it has remained connected to LTE for several days without any traffic. Now in normal operation, It has been working for several weeks without touching it.The device arrived speaking Spanish with an option hidden in the top right corner of the website to switch to English. Overall, it has been a nice inexpensive and basic backup service connection for me.

I travel every year to Chile, South America y this time I bought this unit because the place I stay at has really bad cellphone signal in the room I sleep in. I figure I place this on a window on the front of the house and try it out.Bought a cheap sim card from Entel. I placed it on my phone first. Activated the sim card, added some money and selected a unlimited data and phone plan. Then I placed the sim card on the unit. After a couple of minutes, all the lights turn blue, I was able to connect to wifi using the password from the bottom of the unit and that's it. Now I am in my room on wifi and works perfectly. The other perk I noticed that I use an eSIM with Verizon in United States and esim does not work in Chile for roaming BUT when I connected to wifi on the unit, my esim became active and I could get all the text messages from united States into my phone. I did not need to setup anything on the router. I did download the android app and checked it was on the latest firmware and it was. Is a little expensive at around 80 bucks, but knowing it works and be able to use it now for years to come make it a good investment. I just wish it would transmit wifi on 5G but it only has 2.4ghzNOTE Make sure you go into the web browser setting, dial up, monthly plan and set everything like the attached picture to avoid disconnectionUPDATE: Here is an awesome perk. When I returned to the US, I noticed verizon didn't bill me for all the calls and text used while I was on wifi. Turns out that while roaming and picking up wifi, all calls and text work as local and they don't charge as you are using wifi as backhaul. This is a game changer for me.
