Airtel DigitalTV E5573Cs-609 Wireless Hotspot Single_Band Wi-Fi Data Device, White

Very Good Product. It looks elegant and is very compact. Has a battery life of about 3-4 Hours on 4G LTE mode, as per my experience. I always use it while it is plugged in, so there is no drain in battery life as I use this as my Wifi Router. The coverage is very good. Good for flats with approx. 1500 sq.ft. area, there will be pretty good signal strength within this area. If you talk about coverage, you get approx. 3000-4000 sq. ft. of Wifi coverage, where there will be no signal loss within this area, which is pretty insane, as compared to the size and price of this product. Also, I have heard that this can be unlocked and be used with any other sim, 2G,3G or 4G, which is not the case with JioFi, which I think, is great. The performance is also really good. Overall, I am satisfied.Extras:-1.It has NFC! I don't know what is the purpose of this but it's good to have it.2.The battery capacity is 1500 mAh.3.You have to press and hold the central button to boot up this device. Same for shutting it down.You also get a HiLink App for this device on Google Play, which is great for managing the device.4.It only supports 2.4 Ghz Wifi.5.It can connect upto 10 devices at the same time.

1. My MI-MAX Mobile top panel broke after 2 years and no signal. Purchased Airtel wifi for net.2. I avoided JIO because they don't have a scheme at Rs.49/- for Net connectivity. They start at Rs149/-3. Airtel Rs.49/- per month for 3G net connectivity with data of 3GB size is the lowest and best in India but speed reduces between 9:00am - 10:00 pm.4. Device supplied by Airtel is a Chinese brand. Very Disappointed. All made in China product are good for a year or so but after that they suffer a breakdown and bomb the wallet.5. Charging wire is smallest you will ever see. (You cannot possibly imagine a wire of so small a length. Really :) )6. God Knows when industry will realize that people are prepared to spend extra for good quality and don't want "Made In China" product that breaks down within a year. Sincce IT HARDWARE industry produced all their products in CHINA as early as 1980s and IT industry pioneered idea of CHINA production, this trend will never change and we must expect products to work for a year or two and bomb our wallets again and again and again and again..........

Device is very good in terms of quality and price point specially the device is reliable bcoz the company behind is huawei.Actually some of feature jiofi device i was expecting in this device but initially you will not get that if i highlight some of point is-->when u connect directly the device via usb to pc the USB THETRING was not working-->device dose not work without battery inserted i mean if i directly connect via wall charger without battery inserted it will not work unlike jiofi devicebcoz battery is not reliable it might swollen or damage with time as happens with my jiofi...but jiofi work even without battery inserted-->one more thing i wanted was the feature like dongle ,if dongle is connected to wall charger and if ther is power cut the modem switch off now wedon't need to manually start the dongle if the power resumes but in jiofi we need to start it manually after every power on off cycle.FORTUNATELY MY FRIENDS ALL OF THE FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS MENTIONED ABOVE ARCHIVED AND ELIMINATED AFTER UNLOCKING THE DEVICE thats why i called it 110% paisa vasool in 999.i am mentioning these things here bcoz some of buyer friends may face these issue with time.so it might be helpful for them.

Before buying this, I was using internet on my laptop using mobile WiFi hotspot from smartphone. I was getting good speed on opening regular website, even those with lots of images as in shopping sites. But I was getting poor download speed. It was taking 10 minutes or more to download 21 MB file. And YouTube videos play with buffer most of the time. So, I bought this airtel hotspot with hope of getting fast download and YouTube video play speed compare to mobile hotspot. But my hope was dashed. I am getting the same speed on this airtel hotspot as with my mobile hotspot. So, I regret buying this, but didn't return the device as it is not fault of device itself. I am living in rural area which is the reason of slow speed.Sim slot design is not good. Nowadays all sims are smart sim (pre-cut). But this 4g hotspot has full sim slot. When we insert pre-cut sim with adapter, sim is getting stuck when we remove it later. We have to put some thick flat paper under the sim and then pull out the sim. Mobile technicians know this trick. But many mango people don't know this trick and they will likely pull out the stuck sim with force. This will damage the sim slot. Airtel and other dongle manufacturers should provide nano sim slot. If they prefer the full sim slot, then provide one with latch like in old Nokia keypad phones.Tip for new user:First connect your device with usb cable to computer and type 192.168.1.1. and then change settings like ssid and wifi password.Without connecting to the computer first, your computer will show airtel signal, but when you use password, you can't connect to the internet. So, first you have to connect the device to computer. Thereafter, you can use the device without keeping it connected to the computer with usb cable.
