My criticism anticipate:
In the product description is listed that:
"" MicroSDHC card reader (eg for file sharing in WLAN) ""
This only works, unfortunately not, at least not in the tub. You can connect the drive to a USB port maximum of a PC and
Use a.) as a perfectly ordinary disk and / or
b. make) available via PC network share drive with other devices.
Another possibility on the SD card to access does not exist.
Update: now I had to find that the access to the SD card requires admin rights and / or even the installation of software or special drivers. On my home computer X64 W7 I had the software pre-installed anyway. On my second computer (X86 Xubuntu) the stick was immediately recognized as a removable disk, without recognizable installation.
On my company computer (X64 W7) no access was possible without admin rights on the SD card possible, even via USB port. Note: No other USB disks required date Admin rights (diesbezgl so no policy restriction.). Thus, the stick did not let use as a "normal" Removable Disk, as Admin rights are not always and everywhere available. Admin rights, however, were probably only necessary once. Plugging again he was immediately recognized.
Another -for me kritisches- security shortcoming is the SIM security. So you disable the PIN query, this need not be entered each time. Ansich comfortable. Thus, the stick, however, resets via RESET button in working condition, the SIM security is disabled and the drive will start the 3G network by. Thus is lost the drive, the new owner needs only press the reset button. The WLAN key is indeed in the inside of the device and the PIN is -da Unchecked no longer required.
A better solution would have been to use the PIN via software PIN entry, so this will also be cleared with RESET again. WLAN key can indeed override, as a four-digit PIN should still have space, which is removed during RESET.
You could also possibly the WLAN key Remove the stick force, so after reset no unauthorized access via WLAN is possible. However, the part can also be on a Windows PC via USB and the enclosed Mobile WIFI Start tool and reconfigure without wireless access. This tool should also be available on the stick and can not -leider- remove.
The SIM security is so unfortunately the only protection against misuse in case of loss.
In Google Play Store (Android) there is a Huawei Mobile Wifi app with which the little thing can also configure well.
Techn., The device is otherwise fine. The throughput rate (DSL Speedtest div runs) was approximately 7 to 9 Mbit / s, and for me my location -an absolutely fine. WLAN connection is stable and is at 1 meter at -40 dBm and -70 dBm at 5 meters approximately. From about 10 meters the wireless connection then goes though but noticeably in the knee.
There is also an ext. Antennenanaschluss. But insofar as nonsensical in my eyes with a portable 3G stick, because you also with USB extension cable (passive to 5 meters) could better position if needed the stick.
So you can live with these limitations, the stick is ansich good and makes what he intended. The menu navigation via the browser can be set in several languages. The default was -verständliches- English, but can be switched on -verständliches- German.
The configuration menu is easy to use both browsers as well as APP clearly and -from my sight. One can also use a so-called. Setup Wizard which itself Dummies should meet, so virtually foolproof device.
From my side two star deduction for:
not very comfortable solved a.) Access to SD card and is not as described possible ...
b.) Defective SIM PIN query for me and a real safety shortcoming against misuse in case of loss ...
Addendum: I have ultimately decided to let the unit go back. The annoying -jedesmal to start Pin query or the security flaw with deactivated SIM security and the non-existent access via WLAN to the SD card then were ultimately decisive. Seen in the price of about 50E -for me- is no longer justified.
