Review: We live in a remote place with terrible mobile and broadband coverage, also frequent powercuts which leave us with no way of contacting help. I hoped that buying this, I would at least have a connection to the internet via it and our netbook. I had a 3G dongle which was on the approved list for this router but the ISP (3) does not cover our location so I had the dongle unlocked and put in a Giffgaff sim which does cover us, what could go wrong? Well just about everything. Suddenly the dongle is no longer recognised. It appears it is only recognised when a 3 sim is in it which is useless to me. I do have one glimmer of hope, an O2 dongle which I'm told will work and I will see if it does. Featurewise, this tiny box, 3" square has more features than some standalone routers costing 4 times the price. Other than the 3G, which I cannot use yet, it is an amazing piece of technology and the reason I still give it 5 stars. Used as an access point (AP) it is incredibly easy to use, just plug it into your router or network socket, set the switch to AP and you have wireless access with full WPA2 security. It comes with a power supply, mine was a european 2 pin jobbie so requires an adapter but units delivered from the UK will have UK PSU's I'm informed. I really am very inpressed with this little device, there is even an online community devoted to reprogramming it to do all sorts of other things and if my O2 dongle shennanigins don't pan out, I may have a look into doing just that. So, CHECK YOUR DONGLE IS ON THE COMPATIBILTY LIST before buying, not ony the dongle model but the ISP (O2, 3, Voda) must match too and hopefully you will not be dissapointed. Edit: Since writing the above, I've discovered that this router is very sensitive to which power supply you use. I had tried using a 7000ah battery pack used for powering and charging my iPhone which outputs 5v 1A but no way will the router work, neither will the 3G work when plugged into a USB socket but plug in it's own PSU and everything works as promised. Strange. I have a feeling that the addition of the 3G dongle is causing more power to be drawn and some internal protection circuitry or software prevents the router from activating the dongle. So, mystery solved and I'm even happier than I was before :-).

Review: I have a mobile 3g dongle and I bought this portable router thinking that all I had to do was plug in the power supply and the 3g dongle and I would have a Wi-Fi signal, that I could then use to connect my kindle fire too, this is not how this router works, as I found out when I tried it for the first time. After reading the instructions, I found out the way this router works is that you have to plug it in to a power supply, this can be done 2 ways, you can power it straight from your computer via The USB ports or you can power it with the plug provided, which has a USB slot on the back of it (this is a 2 prong plug and does not fit into a standard British electricity outlet without an adaptor) you then plug in the 3g dongle, and use the switch on the side of the box to select 3g/4g, there is a Ethernet cable that you have to connect from the router to the port on your computer, once all of the cables are connected you are instructed to open a browser and log on to a link that lead you to the TP link home page, where you need to input the user name and password, the default for both these on first time set up, is admin, once you have input this information you can interface with the router to change use names and password, when you have done this you can then connect your mobile device to the Wi-Fi signal. The Wi-Fi signal strength is good and connecting your mobile devices is easy, but the router must remain connected to the computer in order for it to work as a Wi-Fi hub for your other devices. This is fine if you have a desk top computer as it can be left set up and active all the time, but if you have a laptop as I do, and do not have it permanently set up, then this router is a little bit to much trouble to set up if you only want to do a quick internet search. If you want a router that you can attach to your computer and leave it running, and then run your other devices from it, then this may be ok for you, but it was not what I was looking for, there is nothing wrong with the product itself, just the way in which you intended to use it which will determine if this router is right for you. I have now ordered a different type of portable router where you insert a SIM card into the back of it and it provides a Wi-Fi signal for you to use to connect your mobile devices too
