Review on πŸ“Ά Cyfre 3G Mobile WiFi Router Amplifier for Enhanced Signal and Connectivity by Gerard Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

3G router with no SIM card slot and lost USB port

Bought this router/USB client bridge to use with my unused cellular plan. Package received in about a week. waiting for my gsm usb modem (huawei 220) so i can connect my cell phone sim card and use it with this router. Tried this router with popular brand USB WiFi client modems, no driver, didn't detect any. I've used it as a wireless router so far and it works great. Setup is easy. (+) Points: -cyfre claims to work with all cellular modems on the market -it can be used as a Wi-Fi router -detachable RP-SMA antenna connector for routers -good price ($14.99) and average item originating in China - WiFi router G range 100ft indoor - Easy web interface setup - Product manufacturer has a website in English - Fast shipping (-) points: - Cannot connect network hard drive to USB port - No driver for wifi usb modem use it as a client relay bridge (alfa 3g router has this option) - no router, its 54mb g - only 1 lan port (usually a router has at least 4 lan ports) - no sim card slot or cable to connect sim card via usb port - no driver for usb sim card reader - no open source third party firmware - since the sticker on the power supply has been removed i can't tell if this network part works 90-230V or 110V only - no car power supply for router (assuming it is a 3G mobile router with no mobility) - router too big for 3G mobile WiFi router - product hastily designed - product was made repackaged/packaged in a dirty warehouse (adapter (power supply) sticker was removed in the packaging warehouse and the removed sticker had a lot of sawdust stuck to its adhesive, individual components were not sealed) - poor (cosmetic) design and plastic overmoulding, I hope this review helps other buyers.
