Network Specifications

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
5G

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 Wireless Speed
3600 Mbps

Maximum Wireless Speed

Theoretical maximum speed with a wirelessly connected device primarily used for marketing purposes. The speed of each connected device depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc.
Maximum LAN Speed
100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

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

100
Usually, 100Mbps is sufficient for the needs of most users. For more demanding uses such as transferring large files (e.g. high-definition videos), prefer a device with support for 1000Mbps. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
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 6

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 6
The most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.
Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax

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.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.

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.

    Let me write a few things too... First of all, I saw a big difference in speed (logical since I’m coming from an old TP-Link 4G router) from 20 Mbps it went up to 90!
    Easy configuration if you have basic knowledge.

    Now, let’s talk about the terrible Wi-Fi, which if I wasn’t too lazy for the process, I would have returned it.
    No mobile phone, cash register-POS could ever connect, even on 2.4GHz. It never managed to connect even after countless experiments (channels, mode, MAC, filtering, 2.4-5G isolation, everything unlocked like an open field and nothing connected, not even after a reset... There is clearly an incompatibility between the Wi-Fi router and mobiles, laptops connected though.

    The solution is simple. We keep the old router and turn it into an access point - switch so we have more ports! Whatever we want on Wi-Fi, we just plug it into the access point (we turn off DHCP, turn on Wi-Fi and that’s it)

    ZTE should seriously look into this issue with a firmware update!

    It definitely performs better than the previous 4G. I am in a tourist area where there is no option for a fixed line, which is why I am looking into these options. So in the summer, when the population multiplies, the network sometimes goes down and of course the router is not to blame for that. However, when it comes back, it gives me very satisfactory WiFi but not at all on the ethernet lines. This is only solved by restarting, provided of course that I realize it has happened. I don't know if the problem is only with my router or if it is a manufacturing issue. I tried to find a technician to guide me, but I was advised to send it back as defective, which means I will be without it for a few weeks and I am not sure if they will solve my problem, since my house setup works with Ethernet lines. If anyone knows something and can help, I would be grateful if they contacted me.

    Replaced a TP-LINK Archer 4G modem router at the cottage, with mediocre signal. So far the difference is noticeable! From 4-5-6 Mbps download and 1-2 Mbps upload, I went up to 31-39 Mbps download and upload from 5 to 25! Make sure to do any updates it asks for before you start testing.

    UPDATE: 5 months now, it works perfectly. Keep in mind that the router is 5G. The title on Skroutz and the hyperlink refer to it as 4G, which is wrong.

    I’m saved! I was using a 4g+ router for 2 years and the speed and disconnections were incredibly frustrating. I was skeptical because of the price and the comments; I thought that since I had disconnections with my old router, it would continue with this one as well, but it’s nothing like that. Since the day before yesterday when I installed the ZTE, every day I wake up, I look at it and feel happy. No disconnections and a stable speed over 300mbps. I’m talking about the center of Arta (where my phone was getting 5g anyway) and with Cosmote as the provider. I will come back with an update if anything changes

    It's not worth even 50€. As soon as I set it up, it reached 200 Mbps speed and 55 upload. This happened at first, but the next day when the portal was full, it wouldn't connect to another one. I go into the menu and there is no manual option to select another portal. Besides that, for the first time in 2 years with a 4G+ router, this one performs worse, and on top of that, it freezes YouTube and Netflix many times throughout the day when my phone is connected as well. The previous one was from TP-Link, and I can't believe this one is worse. I wasn't expecting such a disappointment.

    Simple menu, easy to connect with Cosmote unlimited sim card, it is an excellent solution for those who want very high speeds in areas where the fixed line does not support. It also has an RJ11 port for a phone which I did not use and also 2 LAN ports. There is no on-off button but only WPS.

    Very good and honest. I put a Cosmote card and it reached speedtest 970MBps Down/ 190 Up.
    If it doesn't lock in 5G when you set it up, but only in 4G, put the card in a 5G phone to lock the card once and then put it back in the ZTE and it will work.

    Just received the mobile router ZTE M888, very good with Vodafone SIM card, works as a landline phone with the mobile number of the SIM card, very good signal, WiFi easy to set up, tried it with Cosmote 4G SIM card and works perfectly, better than Vodafone. The router menu is simple, nothing special. The price is very expensive. As for data, if you don't have unlimited data connection, it's not worth it, data goes away like water. The speed is not always stable. It is fast in speed

    Guys, it's amazing, I solved the internet problem because I live in a terrible area without fiber optic and I was getting around 8 Mbps with simple ADSL. It reaches a higher speed than my iPhone 15 Plus, consistently and without disconnections (I've had it for over a month). I connected it easily and the settings through the browser are also very simple. In a three-story maisonette, with 3 wireless access points, I now get 350 Mbps on the third floor, 250 Mbps on the second floor, and about 100 on the ground floor, which is completely disconnected. You should get it without hesitation.

Network Specifications

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
5G

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 Wireless Speed
3600 Mbps

Maximum Wireless Speed

Theoretical maximum speed with a wirelessly connected device primarily used for marketing purposes. The speed of each connected device depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc.
Maximum LAN Speed
100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

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

100
Usually, 100Mbps is sufficient for the needs of most users. For more demanding uses such as transferring large files (e.g. high-definition videos), prefer a device with support for 1000Mbps. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
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 6

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 6
The most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.
Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax

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.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.
Wi-Fi Frequency
Dual Band (2.4 & 5GHz)

Wi-Fi Frequency

The frequencies in which the device can transmit. Most modern routers transmit on two (2.4 & 5GHz) or even three frequencies. Additional frequencies allow for faster speeds on more devices, with the biggest difference observed from one frequency to the other.

Dual Band (2.4 & 5GHz)
They transmit signals on two frequencies. They offer higher speeds compared to singles and connect more devices.

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.

    Let me write a few things too... First of all, I saw a big difference in speed (logical since I’m coming from an old TP-Link 4G router) from 20 Mbps it went up to 90!
    Easy configuration if you have basic knowledge.

    Now, let’s talk about the terrible Wi-Fi, which if I wasn’t too lazy for the process, I would have returned it.
    No mobile phone, cash register-POS could ever connect, even on 2.4GHz. It never managed to connect even after countless experiments (channels, mode, MAC, filtering, 2.4-5G isolation, everything unlocked like an open field and nothing connected, not even after a reset... There is clearly an incompatibility between the Wi-Fi router and mobiles, laptops connected though.

    The solution is simple. We keep the old router and turn it into an access point - switch so we have more ports! Whatever we want on Wi-Fi, we just plug it into the access point (we turn off DHCP, turn on Wi-Fi and that’s it)

    ZTE should seriously look into this issue with a firmware update!

    Very happy, big difference from the 4G+ of the provider I had before, I download at 780Mbps and upload at 50Mbps, very stable and with much better speeds and coverage inside the house, I have more than 15 devices connected via wifi and everything works like clockwork.

    It definitely performs better than the previous 4G. I am in a tourist area where there is no option for a fixed line, which is why I am looking into these options. So in the summer, when the population multiplies, the network sometimes goes down and of course the router is not to blame for that. However, when it comes back, it gives me very satisfactory WiFi but not at all on the ethernet lines. This is only solved by restarting, provided of course that I realize it has happened. I don't know if the problem is only with my router or if it is a manufacturing issue. I tried to find a technician to guide me, but I was advised to send it back as defective, which means I will be without it for a few weeks and I am not sure if they will solve my problem, since my house setup works with Ethernet lines. If anyone knows something and can help, I would be grateful if they contacted me.

    Replaced a TP-LINK Archer 4G modem router at the cottage, with mediocre signal. So far the difference is noticeable! From 4-5-6 Mbps download and 1-2 Mbps upload, I went up to 31-39 Mbps download and upload from 5 to 25! Make sure to do any updates it asks for before you start testing.

    UPDATE: 5 months now, it works perfectly. Keep in mind that the router is 5G. The title on Skroutz and the hyperlink refer to it as 4G, which is wrong.

    I’m saved! I was using a 4g+ router for 2 years and the speed and disconnections were incredibly frustrating. I was skeptical because of the price and the comments; I thought that since I had disconnections with my old router, it would continue with this one as well, but it’s nothing like that. Since the day before yesterday when I installed the ZTE, every day I wake up, I look at it and feel happy. No disconnections and a stable speed over 300mbps. I’m talking about the center of Arta (where my phone was getting 5g anyway) and with Cosmote as the provider. I will come back with an update if anything changes

    Awesome mobile router. In an area with relatively good 5G coverage, it picks up a signal like a bell and easily and steadily at 100 Mb with a maximum of 300 Mb.

    It's not worth even 50€. As soon as I set it up, it reached 200 Mbps speed and 55 upload. This happened at first, but the next day when the portal was full, it wouldn't connect to another one. I go into the menu and there is no manual option to select another portal. Besides that, for the first time in 2 years with a 4G+ router, this one performs worse, and on top of that, it freezes YouTube and Netflix many times throughout the day when my phone is connected as well. The previous one was from TP-Link, and I can't believe this one is worse. I wasn't expecting such a disappointment.

    Simple menu, easy to connect with Cosmote unlimited sim card, it is an excellent solution for those who want very high speeds in areas where the fixed line does not support. It also has an RJ11 port for a phone which I did not use and also 2 LAN ports. There is no on-off button but only WPS.

    Very good and honest. I put a Cosmote card and it reached speedtest 970MBps Down/ 190 Up.
    If it doesn't lock in 5G when you set it up, but only in 4G, put the card in a 5G phone to lock the card once and then put it back in the ZTE and it will work.

    Just received the mobile router ZTE M888, very good with Vodafone SIM card, works as a landline phone with the mobile number of the SIM card, very good signal, WiFi easy to set up, tried it with Cosmote 4G SIM card and works perfectly, better than Vodafone. The router menu is simple, nothing special. The price is very expensive. As for data, if you don't have unlimited data connection, it's not worth it, data goes away like water. The speed is not always stable. It is fast in speed

    Guys, it's amazing, I solved the internet problem because I live in a terrible area without fiber optic and I was getting around 8 Mbps with simple ADSL. It reaches a higher speed than my iPhone 15 Plus, consistently and without disconnections (I've had it for over a month). I connected it easily and the settings through the browser are also very simple. In a three-story maisonette, with 3 wireless access points, I now get 350 Mbps on the third floor, 250 Mbps on the second floor, and about 100 on the ground floor, which is completely disconnected. You should get it without hesitation.
