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.

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

This product does not come with an antenna of any sort. Testing it around the house (in East London, UK), I found that it only picked up 4G and gave a very disappointing 5Mbps download speed. I tested it out in the street, and that is when it picked up 5G and the speed shot up to 450Mps! Yes, a nearly ten fold download speed increase! So as it comes out of the box, you just will not not know how good your signal reception will be. HOWEVER... THE SOLUTION IS buying a cheap pair of flexible antennas with TS9 plugs. When I did that the speed went up to a healthy and consistent 30-40Mbps indoors. I was so pleased that I got that higher rate, that I have just bought a more expensive LTE type of aerial that is specifically designed to pick up 5G as well as 4G. I am expecting great things with that new dual-aerial antenna. So the bottom line is, it may only work well for you if also buy an additional LTE-type antenna or pair of LTE aerials. Remember that the two connectors must be the tiny TS9 type of plug (2.5mm diameter).

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

Initial review - ordered a “used but very good” u50 personal hotspot, however the charging cable is broken and the hotspot has dents and chipped off at several places. Aesthetically, it’s NOT in “very good condition” - however it’s working fine and getting charged by another cable as well.. Does the job other than the fact it’s usage condition was inaccurately described on Amazon

Great portable WiFi hotspot Getting 120 mps very good speed. Not been to different places yet. I use a EE data simcard unlimited use.. I only got it yesterday but it,s a better signal than cheaper devices. 16 hours battery life Sent a Netgear m3 back to Amazon. It was losing connection Buy the ZTE MU5120 This photo is for another router cannot change You can use when changing. I have a Ugreen power bank. I recommed this 100% B sydd

Works well

منتج بصراحه ممتاز مثل ما جاء في الوصف شكراً

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

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

Tolles Teil. Preis/Leistung stimmt jedenfalls. Vielleicht etwas "kompliziert" bei der Inbetriebnahme. Kurze 'Anleitung; Gerät einschalten (mit einer Karte vom Provider). Verbindung mit dem Gerät aufbauen, entweder via Handy oder PC. Ist das Gerät verbunden, (ohne Internet) in den Browser gehen und die "IP" aufrufen. Dann das Passwort eingeben und alles einstellen. Ja, etwas blöd beschrieben, in der Anleitung. War auch kurz davor, das Gerät zurück zuschicken. Aber es funktioniert wirklich.

Utilisé à la maison dans les conditions optimales: proximité d'une antenne 5G puissante zvec vue directe (pas d'obstacle). Pour: . Configuration de base facile . Bonnes performances générales (280Mbps en download) Contre: . Démarrage laborieux, en version "normal" ou "rapide", ne trouve pas toujours le réseau. Il faut parfois booter plusieurs fois de suite pour établir la connexion même avec une carte SIM débloquée . Connexion au réseau 4G/5G instable malgré les meilleures conditions, décroche alors que d'autres appareils/GSM à proximité immédiate n'ont pas de problème . Autonomie limitée même avec le "battery saver" . Coupure du wifi par la fonction "sleep" agaçante . Interface d'administration vraiment basique en version GSM. Il faut passer par un pc ou une tablette pour avoir toutes les fonctions. Structure des menus parfois confuse. . Ergonomie du boîtier discutable : bouton on/off et WPS trop proches, trop petits et trop sensibles. . Pas de véritable écran, seulement 3 indicateurs, information minimaliste. Conclusion : Ne répond pas à mes attentes. Retourné après qcq jours pour remboursement. Dommage...
