Description

Description

The AR617VW-LTE4EA from Huawei is a router, a device to which other devices such as a computer, mobile phone, and television connect, and it shares internet access. It connects to the 4G network, which offers significantly higher speeds than 3G. It is of Wi-Fi 5 generation, the most widespread Wi-Fi standard, and can meet the needs of most users. There is also the next generation Wi-Fi 6, which offers the ability to connect many more devices. It broadcasts a signal on two frequencies, 2.4 & 5GHz.

  • The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most widespread and has a long range.
  • The 5Ghz provides higher speed but is more sensitive to obstacles that reduce its range.
  • The 5Ghz has fewer interferences from other networks.

Type
4G/5G Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

4G/5G Router

Mobile Router with built-in modem.

A router is a device that connects other devices (e.g. computer, mobile phone, TV) either wirelessly or with a cable, and shares internet access with them.

The internet access is received through the modem which is built-in to these devices and uses the mobile network with a SIM card installed.


A SIM card with an active data plan is required.
Mobile Network
4G

Mobile Network

The fastest generation of mobile network to which a mobile router can connect.

Mobile routers have a SIM card slot for wireless internet access through 3G/4G & 5G mobile networks.

5G offers significantly higher speeds than 4G, which in turn is faster than 3G. For the device to function at this speed, there must be corresponding coverage from the mobile network in the area where we are located.
Maximum LAN Speed
1000 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

The maximum speed that the modem/router can offer to devices connected to it via ethernet cable.

1000
The 1000Mbps are mainly important in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g. high-definition videos) is a frequent occurrence. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
Portable Hotspot
No

Portable Hotspot

Mobile routers with built-in battery so you can use them anywhere.

These mobile routers have a SIM card slot for wireless internet access through 3G/4G mobile networks.
Wi-Fi Generation
Wi‑Fi 5

Wi-Fi Generation

The Wi-Fi generation is a more user-friendly term for networking standards that affect maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc.

Wi‑Fi 5
The most widely used Wi-Fi standard, significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4. Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users. The next generation (Wi-Fi 6) began to be released in 2019 and offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.
Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3/3u

Network Standards

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users, but there is now the next generation Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) which offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home.

Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support some previous one.

USB 2.0 connections

The device has a USB 2.0 port, which is an older version of USB with slower data transfer speeds (480Mbit/s) compared to newer versions, but still suitable for typical use (e.g. connecting a printer).

2. Depending on the device, the USB port can also be used to connect other devices so that all other devices connected to the home network can access them.
ISDN Connection

MAC Address Filtering
No

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
No

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
