My old wifi hotspot device (Netgear Aircard 762) started to play up so I had to get a replacement.Looking on the market I say this device as a similar replacement.The D-Link DWR 933 performs as expected, it has a WPS button, a clear LCD display and so far I have managed to get 80mbps from my 4g connection (which is really good)The device settings are accessed by a web page, and it is pretty informative (even better that my old access point's web interface. You can set all the passwords and internet settings here, it has very complex settings that are fully customisableI am currently using this device with 4 attached devices.. they all work well and perform again as expected.You can connect either 2.4 or 5 ghz as there are 2 separate wifi access points on the device. Range is very good I have my laptop connected in another room and the signal is very strong.Cannot really fault the device but would like to be able to view TXT messages with the built in LCD screen instead of having to log onto the device to view the TXT.The device will not work witout the battery inserted, my old hotspot would work on USB power without a battery, as I was at home most of the time and didnt need to use the devices battery.The hotspot also has a micro sd slot so you can use the device as a network storage device. Handy to share files over your own network.When On battery the hotspot lasts well over 10 hours with lots of use.Pros• Good Value• Compact• Removable battery• Good display• Long battery lifeCons• Wont run on USB power only (needs battery in device)• LCD screen is tiny• Micro USB port (should be USB C really)Can recommend this product if you are after a wifi 4G Hotsport

This item has been the most disappointing piece of equipment I have ever bought.I get absolutely no signal across any network or generation, unless I plug in an external 5G antenna, and even then I only get intermittent signal - and by intermittent I mean, despite configuring it for EE, it connects to O2 (that's when I get signal) and then it disconnects, and tries again.I have excellent indoor 4G signal on my mobile phone, and using a 4G router that costs 5 times less than this chunk of plastic I also get excellent 4G signal and consistent service indoors even when using the just the built-in antenna's on that router.I can only image the unit I bought is broken - it does nothing like the description and certainly does not "...gives you high-speed Wi-Fi anywhere you want. Just plug in your 5G/4GLTE SIM card and enjoy high-speed AC Wi-Fi on all your connected devices."For the price, I would give it 0 stars if I could.Returned

it works as expected now. pretty strong wifi signal. simple setup

Handy to have a separate mobile hot spot when travel. Extra security, other than using my mobile phone as a hot spot. Good bit of tech, for your technical kit bag!!

I brought these for our work from home situation, me and my wife works from home and our bandwidth demand is pretty high. The best part is it's screen, this will show all the info you need along with signal strength and network selection. The worst part is the UI will get stuck at times and you have to restart it.I had to return the first unit i purchased after 6 months as it stoped getting mobile signal, contacted Dlink and they told me to do a return to replacement, which would take about 10 days so i called amazon and was able to get a replacement the very next day.One annoying thing is that i cannot get a Ip access via computer to this router, But most of the common issues you faces will be address on the device screen; but for advance use router accesses is essential, which i cannot figure out, how to get into.The portability is amazing, wish it had an option for an external antenna.If you are buying these i would make sure to buy from amazon as a seller rather than a third party seller so in case it died of lose the ability to get signal ( like i had) you can get it swapped for a new one.

Super slim!

Fantastic. Just what I wanted and so easy to set up. Highly recommended.
