Caribbean Use - Computers and Accessories

I live in Antigua and this particular unit sells for over $140. Re-dam-diculus! I am very happy with this device so far and have had it for 2 months. I added a pay-as-you-go plan to the SIM and it works great. Unlocking is not required as it is already unlocked.

Pros
  • Eligible
Cons
  • Legacy Model

No reboot after forced update

This access point often stops working. It looks like it updates firmware frequently and doesn't reboot. That makes it useless for us. The factory password is admin even after a hard reset. If the numeric password on the back of the device doesn't work, try admin. Lost a few hours but found this information in an incomprehensible manual. After setting up the device you can uninstall the windows program, not sure if I need it at all. The Alcatel Link application does not work, it does notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

No longer works with Cricket Wireless

I bought this after reading reviews that it worked with Cricket Wireless. Unfortunately, as of January 2021, Cricket no longer allows devices without voice capabilities to be used on its network. They even put my line on hold and I had to call to get it resumed. Cricket allows users who activated non-voice devices online before January 2021 to continue using them until 2022. This hotspot was compact and seemed easy to activate and came at a great price. I would love to be able to use it andโ€ฆ

I love this car

So fast! I am using the T-Mobile Unlimited plan and have inserted my SIM card into this device. I added two Steam games to the download list as Steam always has the fastest speed. The download starts at 10:00 p.m. and the next day at 9:00 a.m. 89 GB was downloaded. I was thinking of something close to 15GB but this result really shocked me. i love this car Really easy to use and great for on the go. Also, I installed some household appliances like Wi-Fi outlets and lights on this router so that

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Too stupid

That's a big saving on networking products

I bought this unit before I traveled to Europe, I wanted to test it before the trip so I used a Mintmobile SIM card and it didn't is working. I contacted Revain who called tech support and they told me it was a Mintmobile issue. I took a chance and hoped it would work in Europe with Orange Sim and it worked, it worked great with Orange Sim in Iceland, France and Italy. We had 4 phones connected at all times and were using Wi-Fi to call our phones through this unit. The battery never went deadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

LOCKED TO T-MOBILE (supplied and sold by Revain)

It's hard to say much about the functionality of the device itself as I couldn't even set it up as I don't have a T-Mobile account. I turned on the device after the battery was fully charged, then pulled out my laptop and entered the device's IP address into Google Chrome and the resulting page load is fully flagged by T-Mobile and specifically states that I have an account with them must have and an active data plan to continue. To continue with setup, I need to log in to my account. But Iโ€ฆ

Best Hotspot (MW41NF-2AOFUS1) with USSD support for Dominican Republic and Latin America

I've waited a few months to write this review because I wanted to test it thoroughly in the Dominican Republic, where it is used in the first round. First, not every mw41 access point works on all three major carriers. It must be the MW41NF-2AOFUS1 model unlocked. 4G Lte Bands: B1 (2100) B2 (1900) B3 (1800) B4 (AWS) B5 (850) B7 (2600) B8 (900) B12 (700) B13 (700) B20 (800) 3G UTMS: 850 /900 /1700/1900/2100 2G: 850/900/1800/1900MHz Also, this AP also supports USSD codes found via a web browserโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • I'm worried
