About this deal

The quality of the rest of the plastic construction is generally pretty good. As are the two 5 metre low loss cables coming out of the bottom. The XPOL-A0001 can be wall, pole or window mounted. I’ve fitted the 4 suction pads for window/bodywork mounting.

To be honest, at first I did find all the talk of directional, omni-directional, gain, MiMo, etc. a bit confusing. But I think I’ve finally got my head around it… Directional antenna: The 4G-XPOL-A0001 is a low gain antenna so is designed for areas where there is an existing mobile signal – which according to EE is 99% of the country. (If you need a high gain directional antenna and are prepared to splash out a few more quid, then the Poynting 4G-XPOL-A0002 would make an ideal choice.) Additionally, the Huawei E5577Cs-321 supports the connection of multiple devices, allowing users to share their internet connection with family, friends, or colleagues. It is also compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

which when removed reveals two TS9 external antenna inputs. The flap cannot be completely removed due to a tiny plastic hinge. Only time will tell how well this hinge stands up to repeated use. However, if your phone’s network coverage is poor (or not supposed to be available in the area, like I found with EE), then using a MiFi device like the Huawei E5577C connected to a good external antenna like the Poynting XPOL-A0001, can provide great results. Even with a poor signal, using the Huawei E5577C with the XPOL-A0001 antenna gave some impressive 4G broadband speeds. Network providers…

In terms of design, the Huawei E5577C has a sleek and minimalist appearance. It is constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity and product reliability. Before I go any further and explore the other settings in the WiFi manager, I need to turn off the data connection. (This is necessary because all the time the Huawei E5577C is connected to EE, it will be eating into my data allowance.) But, if you disconnect the device from the laptop then you cannot access the WiFi manager. So what do you do? Upload video does not exceed 10M, supported formats are mp4, avi, wmv, mpeg, mov, mkv, flv, f4v, rmvb, rm, 3gp, dat, ts, mts, VOBThis reveals the battery compartment, full-size SIM card slot and microSD card slot. Inserting a microSD card (optional) enables the user to store and share data on the card. Perhaps most importantly this particular model (E5577Cs-321) has dual aerial connections (TS9) allowing you to add external aerials which is necessary for rural locations. (Most 4G routers do not allow connection of an external aerial, or have only one aerial connection - you need TWO to take advantage of 4G.) I’m really getting a good opportunity to thoroughly test out this 4G mobile campervan WiFi gear. We are now staying on the Lizard peninsula which is the most southerly point in the UK. Last time we stayed here ( Silver Sands) I couldn’t get a signal on my Vodafone mobile and not much has changed there. No phone signal, and no 4G. Hatte mir den Hotspot gekauft weil ich mit dem etwas günstigeren Huawei E5576 nicht zufrieden war, weil dieser trotz aller Versuche Ihn so zu konfigurieren das Er nicht mehr ein Mal pro Tag einfach ausgeht nicht weiter gekommen bin.

At first, this little device worked as expected. But within the first week of charging it overnight and using it throughout the day with 2 tablets and 2 phones connected, I noticed that it was getting really hot. So hot that I could feel it against my body when it was inside my purse! I was afraid to use it in case it exploded and was corrosive. If your mobile provider doesn’t offer coverage then you could always swap the sim in your phone for another provider who does offer coverage, but I guess not many people will want to do this. So using a MiFi device like the Huawei E5577C will make it simpler to swap sim cards. Like me, you could buy an EE PAYG data sim (EE currently offer the best UK 4G coverage) or find out who offers the best coverage in the area you’re staying in, and buy that mobile provider’s data sim. An excellent device, which does all you would expect from a broadband-style router. Thank you Huawei.All in all, I am very pleased with my 4G mobile campervan WiFi setup and would recommend it. You may not need it everywhere you go, but you’ll be glad you’ve got it with you for the times that you can’t get a signal on your phone that you can tether to. So here I’ll share my five Windows 10 data saving tips: to make your data go further when you’re on the road. 1. Turn on metered connection To sign up for the activity, xxxxx energy will be taken from your account (current energy: xxxxxx). Continue? Not a lot really. (That’s what I’ve found anyway). There are products on the market that promise to boost the signal strength but I couldn’t find one that I thought was worth buying. Most seemed to promise more than they could actually deliver. Even if they did improve the signal, you would still need to go outside of your campervan to get the benefits.
