Tenda F3 300 Mbps Wireless N DSL 3x 5 dBi Antenna Router

I bought this 4G03 Pro router as a temporary workaround for problems with my wired broadband It’s very dinky compared to a typical router but the antennae at either side are relatively large I took a working O2 MBB SIM and put it in this router but initially speeds were poor and it would regularly disconnect. I had to go into the settings and manually correct APN etc. as the auto-selected options were all wrong. I also changed it to 4G only mode which caused it to switch from band 1 to band 20, which on O2 should theoretically be better. After these tweaks speeds were a lot higher, topping out at around 20Mbits/s which is reasonable compared to what I’ve gotten from other devices in the building. I then switched over to Vodafone and it seemed to do a better job of auto-detecting settings. It has been peaking at more like 35Mbits/s which is about half of what my iPhone gets - pretty good seeing as that phone cost many times the price of this device and is supposedly Cat18. More importantly, it seems quite stable so far The firmware interface is quite basic and sometimes a bit glitchy, but it feels surprisingly snappy So I would recommend this product providing you already have some experience setting up mobile devices and aren’t expecting blazing fast speeds at this price. Obviously there are more expensive options available that should be faster

I bought this for a very specific purpose which was to take advantage of unlimited voice minutes to use instead of my landline with desk phones. I'm using a SIM from Smarty which meant that I needed 4G VoLTE support and the signal in the intended room is a bit smelly so I needed a device that would support external antennae. I needn't have worried. I was surprised to find both SIM adaptors and an RJ11 cable bundled in the box which was a bonus. The 'internal' antennae (two elements on the back of the unit) are offering excellent signal strength and calls are clear and uninterrupted. Fair warning - I've tried this with two desk phones, one of which was separately powered and one which wasn't. The powered phone works perfectly and the passive one doesn't. Early days, but I'm dead happy so far.

I selected this because of the nano SIM slot for 4g, Wifi and the 2 ethernet ports, the latter allowed me to drop in line to an existing wired connection. It has a good (but limited) UI, no connection debug log and appears to be android based. However when it came to using the 3G/4G functionality it was useless for me 1) will not work with SIM from sub providers like Lebara where an MCC/MNC code is needed to work with the main provider. The UI does not support this, it is possible the tech support could provide a json file to work round this they provide an EMail for such but I didnt test 2) using a Vodafone sim self configured to an old APN and sort of worked, but if I used this profile or the one from the Vodafone website for the APN it only connected at 3G (the USB dongles I tested at the same time had no problem to get 4G using the same SIM) = slow 3) found a LycaMobile SIM (EE) worked too but was also very slow 4) it kept dropping the 3G/4G link regardless of if I set preferred or not. I may have just been unlucky with this unit but as I was disappointed and spent a day trying to make it work as expected enough was enough and gave up. Ultimately disappointed and no use

The product worked fine, I recently updated to the latest firmware (v04.03.01.37_multi) as recommended by the router. This caused it to stop working with any SIM card. The support is brilliant, I received a prompt response and a custom firmware to resolve my issue, and the router is back up and running within a few days. Considering there was a massive time difference between myself and their support (7 hours behind them), I'm very impressed by the perseverance. As for the router's performance, once it connects it maintains a connection even if the signal is less than adequate (though naturally the speed suffers). The menu is very much bare bones, but at the same time its simplicity matches the requirement of most users at this price point. In hindsight, I would probably spend a few more quid and go for a router from TP-Link, but I can't complain about this device for its price.

This saved the day when my son was waiting for broadband to get installed in his rented house. Its a simple device, and once setup worked really well - 10Mbps from a relatively poor O2 signal, and very solid even handling high volumes of streaming he was using it reliably for a month. The instructions are a bit weak and it was a bit of a faff to get it running - its vital to log in to it and run through the configuration wizard to get it working. It also was convinced that my native O2 SIM belonged to giffgaff, but that didn't seem to matter.

This router is a great little bit of kit, with dual antenna for 3g and 4g you won't be off the mobile network very often. There has been once or twice in the couple of months I've used it that required a reboot, ad simple as unplugging it and plugging back in, you're back up and running in a less than 2 minutes, I don't think this was an issue with the router itself, more of a network drop from the mobile network. For my use case, I have purchased an extra item right here on amazon and that was a USB to dc jack cable. With this I freed up a power outlet and plugged it right into my ps5, notably the feet on the router ate small step type moulded into the base, these it turned out are perfect for the top of the ps5 as you just put it onto the back and slide it forward for a perfect grip. A short ethernet cable also puts the ps5 onto a wired connection. The WiFi has a fairly good range for such a small device but it's with noting it only supports 2.4ghz and not 5ghz. All in all, a great device and il be using it when i take my ps5 mobile.

Il Tenda F3 è uno dei ripetitori Wireless più economici e versatili sul mercato, ne ho già acquistati una decina e hanno risolto molti problemi di connessione. Può essere impostato come ripetitore di segnale oppure Access Point universale ed è anche possibile configurare una pratica sottorete (WISP) per gestire al meglio diversi dispositivi. Il Software è molto semplice ed intuitivo, bastano 5 minuti di pazienza ed è tutto pronto. Possibilità di compilare una Black List oppure impostare orari e altri controlli per un completo controllo dell'accesso alla rete. Le tre antenne (non staccabili) riescono a portare il segnale per tutta la casa, anche attraverso muri abbastanza spessi. L'utilizzo si presta per diverse esigenze, è disponibile una porta Ethernet WAN e altre 3 porte LAN, tutte a 300mb, quindi ben lontano dalle attuali Gigabit ed oltre disponibili con la fibra di ultima generazione, ma se non avete esigenze estreme ad un prezzo così contenuto non credo sia possibile trovare di meglio, specialmente per la facilità d'uso. Compatto e poco ingombrante con una serie di Led verdi che segnalano l'attività di rete, la plastica bianca lucida conferisce all'oggetto un aspetto molto accattivante e fa la sua bella figura sulla scrivania o un mobile.

Super Reichweite und einfache Installation 👍

Una solución genial para mi caso en mi segunda residencia: WIFI + llamadas en la planta baja en la que no tengo cobertura En este caso he puesto el router en la segunda planta donde si hay cobertura y como deja conectar teléfono he conectado un duo inalámbrico. El teléfono principal del duo va conectado al router y el secundario lo tengo en la primera planta. De este modo en la primera planta podemos tener todos los servicios de WIFI y llamadas. Podéis usar una multisim para el router (si os llaman a vuetro número tb suena el "fijo" o bien una Línea Nueva (a la que desviar llamadas). Funciona muy bien, así que le doy 5 estrellas.

Prosty, zwykły, szybki do konfiguracji. Rewelacja w tej cenie!

Produto excelente, de fácil instalação, e superou minhas espectativas. Sem contar a entrega que foi muito antes do prazo Amazon está de parabéns 👏🏻 produtos veio muito bem embalado.
