The Huawei Router is a portable Hotspot that offers internet connectivity via mobile telephony. This device allows you to wirelessly share your connection with other devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Additionally, it supports wireless connection technologies, offering fast data transfer speeds. You can use it in any area with mobile network coverage, and it allows you to connect to the internet wherever you are.
The 4G Wi-Fi Provider
The provider does not need to install or configure a cable in your home. With the portable HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Pro, simply insert a regular 4G SIM card to provide stable wireless broadband services throughout your home or conference room.
High speed, strong signal
The dual-core Balong chipset in the HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Pro provides a maximum download rate of 300 Mbit/s.2 And, with the two built-in high-gain 4G antennas and the two external antenna interfaces, signal stability and coverage area strength are significantly improved.
Intelligent Dual-Band Wi-Fi
The HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Pro supports two Wi-Fi bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and also combines them into one visible signal. You will have a smooth and stable Wi-Fi experience without needing to manually select the best signal.
4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
With 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 1167 M dual-band Wi-Fi, the HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Pro is suitable for broadband connections over 100 M. Wi-Fi performance is 4 times higher than the previous generation.

For unlimited data, it's just what you need. In my area, 5 bars of signal and Download 35-150Mbps and Upload 20-44Mbps, both with ethernet and 5GHz wifi. Without its external antennas.
Quite a good 4G router for the money.
Because I have a clear line of sight to the mountain (I live in the countryside) where the mobile phone antennas are located, I always have 5 bars on the router. That is, I have full signal.
I have a Cosmote 4G+ connection with a 100 GB monthly package, which is enough for my usage.
I use it as my main internet connection because I don't have a landline at home for fixed telephony.
As for the download speeds, it has reached up to 80 Mbps with a ping of 15 ms, and the upload maxes out the speed test and then drops to 50 Mbps with a 2.4 MHz Wi-Fi connection.
With the use of Ethernet, it is much higher...!!!
My laptop does not support the 5 MHz that the router has, which is dual-band.
Usually, I don't experience a significant drop in speed even if there is "traffic" from the people gathering in the city on weekends.
Probably because I am relatively close to the antennas. I also tried an external antenna, but in the end, I didn't see any improvement in the signal, so I left the internal one of the router. In the photo I uploaded, the 5 bars are with the internal antenna...!!!
The signal strength (rsp) is at 85-87 dB and the signal quality (rsrq) is at 8-9 dB...!!! That is ideal for 4G+.
I have also found software (bandlock) that is free but works only with Google Chrome and unlocks the router, allowing you to choose the bands you want.
I have it set to bands 7 + 3 only because band 20 is slow...!!!
The good thing is that the house is a single-family home, and I don't have tall buildings next to me, only vacation homes, but at a distance from each other, so I don't have signal loss.
I am quite satisfied.
It's perfect. Very fast, with good enough wifi, just download the huactrl PRO app to change bands which is quite expensive. I recommend it only with the app because it tunes to the band with the strongest signal which means not necessarily the maximum speed, so 4 stars because band switching should be included in the manual and auto interface.
Although I've only had it for two days, I'll give an initial evaluation regarding speed, signal, etc.
I bought it primarily to upgrade from TPLINK MR6400 v5.2.
Well, it's also plug n play. It catches the signal more directly when turned on and without antennas, it gives a 100% signal just like the tplink with antennas.
The significant difference is the speed, which doubled from ~100 to ~200, as well as the wifi, which is dual band and does not reduce the overall speed like the tplink (the 6400, because it shares the same antennas for 4g and wifi, loses speed with wifi on).
So the difference between cat4 and cat7 is significant.
My money was well spent.
I'll come back with an edit after using it for a while.
EDIT: 6 months of trouble-free operation, you just plug it in and forget about it. The app is also very good, without any problems!
It's very easy to use, you just insert the SIM card (with the pin removed) and it works. It reaches speeds close enough to a mobile phone on 4G+ (be careful with the routers you look at, if they're not cat 6 and above, you'll only get plain 4G, which means much lower speeds than with your mobile phone). Its WiFi is satisfactory, but not amazing. It has an app on your mobile phone through Huawei's AI life (the same app needed for headphones, for example), which provides information such as MB consumption, house heatmap, optional location, etc. It also has the classic admin site on the browser like all routers. In summary, a very good choice, perhaps one of the most economical and reliable for 4G.
Edit: External antennas are not included in the package, but the router has ports for connection.
Although I'm not an expert in networks, after three months of use, it seems like a remarkable device that easily connects to all the others. Additionally, through the router's website, there are many options that you can configure, such as accessibility control, network display, and guest selection. The corresponding HUAWEI application on your mobile provides signal quality control of the network in your space and each room separately (as it gives you the ability to design an approximate plan of your space). I haven't used the VPN feature. Generally, though, I'm very satisfied, and at the price I got it for (€116), it's a very good choice.
