U30AIR 5G Mobile WiFi Hotspot, Portable Pocket Router with SIM Slot, Unlocked 5G MiFi, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, Travel & Caravan Internet, High-Speed Connectivity for Multiple Devices

An excellent bit of kit With the included 5g 3gb Data sim, from Three, it was hitting over 100mb DOWN, and around 20mb UP on the dual band wifi, it gets even faster when connected via usb c It took around 2 minutes from inserting the sim to getting internet, simply plug and play. If your lucky, you might see over 200mb down on this device, its certainly capable of it. DUAL band and dual MIMO means, whilst not a wifi 6 or 7 device, its a top end mimo device, with full app and browser control. It lacks sma connections, and could benefit from it, however, portability, and power draw considered, its 5g connection remains solid, those who might require more power will need to consider devices that cost 2x the price of this. Pro Small, portable, light, swappable batteries, instant sim to esim switching, MIMO WIFI, and full app and browser interfaces, solid construction, and plug and play, with NFC pairing for upto 10 devices. Con Lacks serious power for campers, no SMA inputs. BUY, you wont get a pro level 5g sim router for less.

Here’s my review of the ZTE U30AIR 5G Mobile WiFi Hotspot. I’ve been using this device for a while now, and it has surprised me in a good way. Even though the product page doesn’t mention it, the hotspot provides a wired-style connection through USB using a Remote NDIS network interface. This means I can connect my PC directly via USB and get a stable, gigabit-speed link without relying on WiFi. My WiFi card is switched off, and I’m still fully online through the router. Performance has been solid. The connection feels more stable than WiFi, with lower latency and no interference. The device is easy to set up, works well in a caravan environment, and handles multiple devices without issues. There are a few things worth noting: indoors, 5G signal can vary depending on location, and the device doesn’t support traditional USB tethering modes that some tools look for. But the USB network mode it does provide works extremely well. Overall, it’s a reliable, portable hotspot with better connectivity options than advertised. I’m happy with it and would recommend it.

So far I have found the product to be great for what I need. Although when indoors, I do struggle to keep a strong connection. And it does drop out a bit. Expected when on a ship. Getting around about 3Mbps is enough for streaming netflix but not great for Gaming. When outside, fetting up to 50Mbps 5g and thats being 8 miles offshore with roaming out near Normandy. Overall pleased with the product. Was very simple to set up and the app is easy to navigate to get the best out of roaming. Battery life is really good too.

Item is well-made, and seems robust. Was easy to set up (insert SIM / battery) and configure. Initial testing gave me a ~200 MBPS download speed (talkmobile SIM, Ookla speed test), whereas a cheaper 4G hotspot gave me only ~20 MBPS for same SIM / same placement. Web admin page was easy to access, and used to configure settings: changed the SSID and password to something to suit me, without any problems; and was also able to change the auto-time-out to 'never' so it won't switch off unexpectedly. Both 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi available. Major bonus: was able to receive (read) and send SMS from the web admin page - this is a major bonus for administering the data SIM provider account - as SMS security codes are used for account access. Haven't used long term, so can't comment on robustness / longevity, but would recommend from first impressions.

Worked for three days and then suddenly didn't allow any device to connect (including the NFC connect facility). The SIM worked fine in other devices so not the issue. We tried a reset, draining of the battery and start over, all setting changes and back to 'normal'. Nothing worked. When it work it was a nice bit of kit but it did not last. Perhaps a bad batch but the mixed suggests it happens more than not. Wished I skipped in the first place now and opted for a better router.

Great service, just a bit of charging and works brilliantly. Unbeatable value.

Using it at caravan works great

Doesn't work any faster than my phone used as a mobile hotspot, if anything , it is slower.

Great wifi 5G Router. Strong connection and small enough to fit in your pocket!

The product is great, it works perfectly. However, I had a problem with my sim provider network so had to return the device and get a fixed internet cabel . It‘s the only device that offer 5g at such price!

Fiable, robuste, facile à utiliser. Vraiment rien à redire, super produit ! On le sort de la boîte et il fonctionne directement, les débits sont très bons (plus de 500Mo/sec en 5G lorsqu'on capte bien).
