Essential travel item or where broadband is unavailable.
Great piece of kit! I used a Three unlimited data SIM and it worked straight out of the box to keep all the family's devices connected while on holiday in the UK and abroad. Would also be a fantastic 'internet in a box' solution where broadband is unavailable or not worth subscribing all year round. You might need to update the APN settings, but that will depend on the SIM card / mobile operator. Uses the tpMiFi app or browser interface to configure, but the default settings are spot on.

Language problems
I have used the MIFI and it works well, so am pleased with my purchase, but, it came in a box with no instructions apart from some very basic ones written on the box, in French! Then when I switched it on all the on screen instructions are in Chinese! I do not speak/read Chinese so this is a problem. I managed to work out the password I needed from a picture of a key, but that is it. There is a menu and maybe the language can be changed, but as I cannot read Chinese I'll never know, and I'll never know what the options on this menu are! It's not a cheap item so I would expect to be able to understand and read instructions on how to use it.

Excellent functionality and easy setup
I'm very impressed with this little MiFi router. Easy setup - insert SIM (full size SIM only) and battery. Plug-in to computer with supplied USB lead to charge battery and switch on using the button on the front. It may take a minute or two to connect to the mobile phone network. Then you can watch it (lcd display on front of unit) working its way up the spectrum - 2G, 3G and then 4G (if available in your location). It should then appear in your computer's list of wireless connections automatically (preset for 2.4GHz but has option for 5GHz). The network id and password is on a card in the box (or in the battery compartment). You can connect to the router interface by wireless. Allows you display usage stats, and even send SMS texts. Add a micro SD card for shared disc storage. Obviously the first thing you should do is change the router's password. That's probably all you would normally need to do. Well featured software with good web interface. All the features you would expect from a broadband router. Restrict access by MAC address, change wireless channel and configure auto-off (power saving). Also configure LAN IP filter (firewall), SIP ALG, and Virtual Server/DMZ. I don't know about battery life (others have said 4-6 hours) as I use the supplied mains-USB adapter and supplied USB cable, and leave it as mains-powered. 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 think it also has an app so you can manage the router from your phone, but I haven't tried that. Rock-solid connection with no drop-outs. An excellent device, which does all you would expect from a broadband-style router. Thank you Huawei.

Very Portable wifi
Bought this to use in my holiday home in Spain as I didn’t want to pay a 12 month broadband contract for a couple of months use. The unit is much smaller than I imagined, pocket sized. I just charged it and put a Three payg sim in and it was working straight away, nothing to set up. I logged into the set up portal on my laptop easily and changed the SSID and password in a few seconds. The small screen is good as it shows the ID name and password as well as the amount of data used. I’m getting 10-12 Mbps on Three so not the worlds fastest but fine for watching HDTV. I use it with my now tv stick and streams sky tv fine. Perfect to take overseas if you just need WiFi for a few weeks or couple of months of the year.

Good so far
Having suffered poor service where we live from 3 we decided to upgrade the modem to this one in an effort to better things. We now get much better service than the previous huwaei modem ever did even without the antenna. We now get 4g something unknown with the previous model. The modem was brand new in its box which had been opened to make it network free. A UK charger was supplied with the item. We caravan a lot and take the modem with us. It has performed faultlessly so far out in the countryside. Give it a try.

Works seamlessly
Brought for use on holiday to save international roaming costs. Easy to set up and use. Long battery life and no loss of connection. Obviously the speed us determined by the local connection but we found it was fast and stable with 2 of us connected.

Small, easy to use, lightweight, go anywhere.
Works really well even inside but with an exterior aerial is even better. No problems at all, put the aim in and it worked straight away. The only downside is the relatively short battery life, about six hours, but otherwise highly recommended.

Huawei e5577C is an excellent travel accessory
I've received the device unlocked as per advertised and before the promised date. The product doesn't match exactly the photo on Ebay, it came with a T-Mobile logo (please refer to the photo attached). However, it works perfectly fine. In spite a difficult internet configuration due to lack of broadband provider settings information, I was able to resolve the issue myself and then connecting 3 different devices by WiFi to Huawei e5577 and then to the 4G internet in good speed and also receiving SMS. I strongly recommend this device specially when travelling abroad.

Works well but heavy on power
I'm quite happy with the WiFi router had no problems so far but seem to be forever charging the battery which lasts about 5 hours I dont know if this is normal but it is a bit disappointing.

Disapointed I paid too much for what had been an Orange Network item.
User manual in error due to being unlocked from Orange resulting in my ongoing user data summary is not available . The unit functions very well as a portable mini wifi system
