Good value and quality router
I think this router is well worth the money. Personally I bought this to be a fail over for my fibre service as the company I'm with is a small company due to no openreach fibre as of yet. We have had a few outages and that means we have been offline multiple times and the worst was nearly 24hours. We also have lots of WiFi controlled smart devices that don't work without a connection so I have this router setup as a fail over if and when the fibre goes down and the plus side you can take it on holiday or in the car. I'm using the smarty social tariff at £12 a month which uses three network. I have a high end phone which also uses three and where I live signal and speeds are poor at best I get 30mbps on my phone. On the router I have seen spikes of 50mbps but again settles at 30ish unless early hours of the.morning. I have been testing the devices ability over a few days and been switching off our fibre connection so we are completely relying on the 4g. I did this over a few days but longest test was a Saturday where kids were home and watching tablets aswell as me having the TV on and using phones. Now this handles it quite happily and we have over 30 devices online. I could still access my cameras remotely, I experienced no buffering and I was very impressed. I feel like for a small household who doesn't require internet to work from home this would be superb. I have it located upstairs using the internal antennas sort of in the middle of the house and that seemed to be the best combination for a location to have power and access to the loft to get ethernet to main router but also signal and speeds. I can't rate this thing highly enough. I have also ordered a 5v usb to 12v adapter as that will be easier to.plug in at home but also easier to power in the car or from a power bank if we have a power outage. My only complaint is it doesn't have a battery which I could find a single one on the market that provided battery and ethernet. Not the end of the world as I have a jackery power station but just something to bare in mind. The only thing I have noticed is the WiFi strength isn't the greatest with my tablet which doesn't really affect me as my.main router does the distribution but this may just be my tablet being weird. All in all id recommend this, I would also recommend getting the usb supply atleast then you can keep the router power by a power bank or similar and move it round your home to find your best signal location like I did. I will add that I've now purchased a 4g sercomm router from three. They are highly rated and yes it gets good speeds but it is unstable. Sometimes it just won't respond and it struggles with getting a good signal. I wouldn't want to use it for video calls or online gaming. The mercusys on the other hand although slower it just work and never has an issue. The fact that this tiny little router in my opinion beats a very popular highly rated router is beyond Me. I'm in an area where signal isn't great and no 4g+. I feel for like a motorhome or something this would be the perfect router for the job.

Ideal makeshift router, compact with good signal strength
We moved in a few months ago, and our internet provider told us it would take them 3 weeks to connect us to internet, cue shock and horror as I work from home and needed to be online. Hotspotting only gets you this far when you download data and your phone provider isn't great.I researched who was the strongest signal in our area and got a SIM with enough data for the whole family to use to tie us over until then.This was perfect! Easy to set up and find on our devices, simple to connect to. Signal shows with little green lights as it does on a normal router, and the strength signal reached upstairs to the bedrooms although a bit hit-and-miss for my Roblox players. That said, it worked great to have me connected on my laptop and working with uploading and downloading heavy docs, tablets and TV streaming.It's very compact and fits on the window sill perfectly.The only downside was that it needed to be plugged in, there is a battery option but it doesn't last all day and I couldn't take the risk to run out and have internet cut during a call.Quite inexpensive compared to routers out there, so overall a very good purchase.

Idiot-proof, simple to set-up, reliable good signal... and cheap!
I turned to this device in desperation (and blind hope) when my BT landline Internet had been out of service for three days (the BT engineer saying the line was OK and the fault was my router). Neither statement was correct.Amazon delivered this at great speed and having plugged it into my system I was astonished to find I was instantly online. Every home should have one!

Really happy with this router, working well.
Bought this for our caravan after a previous mini router kept losing signal (had to keep switching it on and off). This router has not once lost the signal. Using the same smarty sim, it's been excellent, I can't fault it. It was easy to set up with the app and set password. It would be easy to carry around if you wanted. We have used it for our 2 phones and 2 televisions. Kept it connected to mains, only disconnected it once for a few hours so battery seems to last ok.

Brilliant
This is brilliant. We have had 8 days without broadband at home and this little gem has been fantastic. It required zero set up, has reasonable WiFi range, is tiny and had all our devices on it. Very difficult to find fault with such a brilliant piece of kit.

Simple
Good little device, easy to set-up works well maybe not the fastest speeds, but keeps you connected. Good value for the money.

Router good, Smarty sim connection is trash
After using the router which I bought as a package with a Smarty SIM (3 network). I was apprehensive. With all of the 3 issues of the 90s, 00s it was a network I have swerved for decades.Seeing this deal, I thought, surely they couldn't be terrible still..wrong! They are still the pits. I actually thought the router was the issue because of the cheap price, but after many many many nights of frustration with ASD children, meltdowns and tears( mine) because I saw the pain and frustration in my child's eyes, I used the sim in my phone. After spending 2 months ( I forgot to cut off the reaccuring) I ended up having to use my phone as a hot spot for the first month is support of the sim for my devices and then fully take my sim out of my phone and put it into the router for the second.Immediate stable connection, all lights on.A bit laggy at times, but a lot better than everything buffering, even watching Now TV, which needs about 8bps to watch was just impossible.The router is fine, just get another sim to use with it.The router itself is small, and easy to connect. The idea of being able to take it everywhere is a game changer, especially if you travel and sometimes the broadband isn't very good.
