Unlocked ZTE MF79U 150Mbps 4G Wi-Fi Dongle (White). Connect up to 10 devices. Will work with any sim card Worldwide. Includes 2 x Antennas

worked out of the box. Have been able to convert my cars head unit from its inbuilt 3g only connection to 4g now. I did try a cheaper item first, but it didnt support enough 4g bands, so teh cars connection was sporadic as driving around. this modem supports a few more bands so connectivity is much more stable. Doesnt get hot and gives a good speed connection when on the go.

If you own a Jaguar or Land Rover of about 5 years old you will know that the traffic (and other) data of the navigation system is driven from the 3g mobile phone signal. This 3G signal is not only 'patchy' but will be switched off in 2023 (according to O2 and EE). This will make the traffic data unobtainable from the switch off date. We bought this dongle to provide a mobile Wi-FI signal in the car which is driven from the 4G LTE mobile phone signal. We now have, in effect a 4G traffic system which also provides browsing and other data services as found in the infotainment system. So far results have been very good and traffic coverage is faultless using a EE SIM. You should download the software provided to set up the dongle and spend some time configuring the device. You will also need to 'teach' your car the dongle's settings so that he can connect to it. We situate our dongle permanently in the USB port of RRS glove box and use the two little antennae. (I'm not sure if they do much). The dongle switches on when the Infotainment systems activates and after a few minutes everything connects to the mobile internet and the data flows. It is well worth spending on this device rather than a less expensive device (which we have also tried but with disappointing results).

There is a lot of choice of similar items with varying reviews (mostly not very good). This was a slightly higher price than some but you get additional antenna which help boost the signal. Not being a tech geek I was a bit concerned about the installation but this was an absolute breeze. I inserted a data micro SIM, made a note of the network WLAN id and password and plugged it into the 12v power outlet in the boot of my car. I switched on the ignition and waited for a solid blue light on the dongle which appeared in seconds. I picked up the WLAN from the cars Menu, entered the password and got instant connection to the internet. I haven't yet had time to test it on my laptop but not too concerned as it will be primarily left in the car and used for Traffic Info on the sat nav. Overall very pleased and impressed with my purchase and service from the company.

Works quite well, not getting the speed it says but works okay. Tech support is poor , I knew more about the device than ZTE who didn’t know it had external antennas. The extra antennas are a gimmick and don’t work well. The signal dropped when installed no matter which way I orientated the device. Cheaper on AliExpress

This is actually a ZTE modem. Made by Zyksel, one of the top leading networking brand's. Easy installation. The driver is automatically recognized. To my surprise the web GUI is better than some full featured router's. Four stars only because during the update I it remaind at 2.4ghz. There is no option for dual band. Otherwise, as I mentioned the web GUI offer's many features, firewall, ddns, SSID switch, port forwarding, DMZ, etc. Definitely worth purchasing for a backup internet solution.
