M7000 4G MiFi, Portable Travel WiFi Device, 4g Router With Sim Slot, Low Cost Unlocked LTE Cat4 Mobile Hotspot Dongle, Caravan Wi-Fi, High Global Compatibility, Easy App Management

Bought this as a friend’s kid was in a hospital ward for several weeks where her mum and dad’s mobile network had a terrible 4G reception (so when she tried to play her online games on her tablet via their hotspot it didn’t work). We tried from my network when I was in visiting and it worked great so I got her a data SIM for my network and bought this device to put the SIM in (as opposed to her dad having to change his phone contact to my network). It worked really well. You just insert the sim and turn it on and then connect to it like you would your home WiFi (username and password are are provided). Meant she could play Roblox and other games which made the whole hospital experience a lot less stressful for her parents. Couldn’t comment on range, but certainly would well from up to 4 or 5 metres away no problem. Battery lasts well and can be powered from mains or a power bank. Really easy to set up and fits in the palm of your hand. Would recommend.

How has this little gismo got anything other than 5* Use it to create wireless that 2 iphones and a Samsung tv utilise Just perfect. Super easy to set up … for 30 odd nicker I just put in the sim … 300g cost me 20€ and job done. Wireless internet for the month

I mislaid my old hotspot and this was a replacement but I wish I had bought the next model up because the design of this one is slippery and easily falls off things, the SIM card slot is difficult to use, and there are no function buttons on the device. The charging socket is also Micro USB instead of Type C, which is a further disappointment. Having said that, the battery lasts longer, and connectivity is still excellent, so I will be keeping it. It was also a lot cheaper. These hotspots provide a great way to have an internet connection when you are not close to a wireless network. I use mine on trains, camping and in cafes to give me a more secure connection.

Not very good. The WIFI part is fine but the 4G receiver is not good at all. In fact it is worse than my old ZTE MF920U. The software works fine but the performance is so bad I can't see why I would use it. An annoying part is the poor SIM card cradle which will not shut properly. I had to put I piece of card over it so the battery pushed it down sufficiently to work! If you are really stuck for internet in your garden then it might be just OK but other than that do not waste your money.

Have had and used this for the past couple of years. Now, to be perfectly honest, I used to avoid TP-Link products like the plague - they did however seem to put a lot of effort last years to improve their products and make them somewhat usable and at very good price which you can't ignore. So, in short - it does exactly what it says it would - creates a hotspot with any SIM-card and you can use it as a standard wi-fi network with all your devices (limited apparently to 10 at a time which most times isn't really an issue). Has more than expected functionality in terms of settings - speed limits and data restrictions to avoid data allowance surpass, flexibility on setting network and so on - can do everything you may need to even replicate your home network and not have to log into a new device and network - your devices would recognize it as a known home network if you set it up with the same SSID and password. Being USB powered is especially useful, as you can have it plugged in your car and have wi-fi for hours while driving providing wifi for everyone aboard. I've also had it plugged into an USB power bank and left in the car to provide internet for my dashcam and a small Blink Outdoor battery powered cam to keep an eye on the car while parked - that worked quite well. Speed - despite reviews of it being slow, you have to understand that greatly depends on the network load, signal strength, distance form the tower and not at last even the weather. And if you find your phone to at times have better speed, remember it didn't cost you 35 odd pounds, nor it's as small - has bigger antenna which greatly helps. But for what this device is, I'd say it's doing a darn good job and I can't (yet) fault it a single bit. Battery life - usually goes for at least 4 hours, which for me is more than enough, if you need more, just have a power bank handy. Finally, should you buy it - if you're looking for way to share single SIM card internet plan with all your devices when on the go - YES, certainly! --The Grumpy Engineer

This device proved to be quite useful during a temporary period without Wi-Fi while I was in between moves. I initially purchased it to access the internet using a data-only SIM plan. Although I found myself using my cellular data on my iPad more frequently than the device itself, it did prove handy in specific situations. However, it seemed to require prominent placement near windows to function effectively, though I acknowledge this might be more a limitation of the data service provider rather than the device itself. The device itself is compact and stylish, easily fitting into a backpack for on-the-go use, and its battery life is reasonably good. It is excellent for providing a basic internet connection, but its capabilities beyond that are somewhat limited.

Bought this for an upcoming trip to Europe as my current mobile provider charges a daily roaming fee and by using a PAYG SIM from a different provider (with no roaming fees), this was a cheaper option. Set up was super easy via the app and the wifi strength is really good. I like the fact it's small so I can keep it in my pocket with my phone so I have access to internet, email and social media platforms etc when I need it. Only downside is the battery only lasts about 8-10 hrs so if I'm out all day, it sometimes struggles. I get round this by turning it off when I'm on the move (usually 2-3 hrs at a time) so it's not a problem. I guess there are other devices with a longer battery life, but for ease of use and practicality I would recommend this.

Purchased as a quick replacement for broadband service due to a move being postponed. Expected it to work but was prepared for issues with streaming etc. Boy was I wrong. It functions extremely well. Have a number of devices and all work well. Support is there if needed and even a courtesy call to check all ok. If this works as well outside as it does in my flat it really will have exceeded all my expectations. It does take a little wait before the internet service sets up on activation but I was setting it up about 10pm. By 5am it was up and fully functioning. It was probably available earlier. Very small unit easily portable.
