Review on Wi-Fi router Keenetic Hero 4G KN-2310, white by Stanislaw Golkowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall it's good but I expect more, there are some downsides.

According to the results of operation for the year: 1) The router is average, it does not even pull 350 Mbps over the air. The router from a competitor rests on a tariff of 500 Mbps (and this is on wifi ac, not even ax). 2) In half of the locations, the megaphone has frequency aggregation, which the router cannot. Where a phone shows 60-100 Mbps in a speed test, this one gives a maximum of 20. 3) As a plus: the ability to switch to a backup channel. Actual in the village when using an unstable connection. I took it to the village, put a faster router from another manufacturer at home.

Pros
  • 1) The wire speed via wifi shows a little higher than the trend. 2) It is convenient that you can set up several options for reserving an access channel to the Internet (wire to the provider, SIM card, another wifi access point) and automatically switch between them.
Cons
  • 1) This is a modem for remote control and giving. What is remote work and dacha? This is when you take a bunch of things, stuff them into suitcases and carry overfull suitcases somewhere, they are not always treated with care. This router has non-removable antennas, which increases the risk of breaking off during transportation. Make it removable or foldable. 2) Wizard of initial setup. I inserted a SIM card, started setting up. At the end he asks how I will go online. I indicate a cellular connection, he swears at the lack of a compatible modem. This is with the SIM card inserted. 3) Set up signal reception. Huawei has a small wizard: every couple of seconds it scans the network and displays the signal strength. Do the same, make life easier. 4) No frequency aggregation, old lte category. The device is expensive, the remote requires a good channel, this is what it asks for. 5) One usb port of the old type. I have a printer, I want to make a home cloud for pictures, insert a backup SIM card into an external whistle. Make at least 2 usb ports of category 3, you don’t need to fence a garland of hubs like in cheap macbooks. 6) The application of the kinetics is somehow insane. Empty or non-functional sections, non-intuitive interface.
