Review of Mobile LTE router from Yota

Hello to all!







For a long, long time I was looking for at least some info about the router, produced by the Chinese company Quanta, which is given as a substitute for Yota Egg and Yota Many. I did not find anything except photos, so I will briefly describe it here.

Be careful, traffic! :)

Appearance and comparison with Yota Many

Here is the router (it is white):



















As you can see from the photos, it is a little more than Yota Many in all respects.







1430 mAh battery

There is no Yota logo on the SIM card. But there is a seal on top of it.

What is in the box?

Unfortunately, the box was thrown away immediately, there will be no photos.

• SIM card router
• Stickers
• 2xUSB cord - micro USB
• Battery (if I didn’t turn on the router before ejecting the box, the battery would fly into the tank with it. It is located at the bottom of the box in the intermediate compartment)

Functional elements

Left side:

• Power button
• WPS button

Front side:

• Power indicator
• 4G indicator
• Wi-Fi indicator

Sensations from the router

Immediately about the cons:

• It is necessary to slightly press the case - a crunch is heard from all sides. Discounted with materials, the Yota Many case is much more pleasant to the touch.
• The micro-USB port is attached anyhow, the hole in the case is noticeably larger than the port. It's not scary, but not very nice.
• There is no Wi-Fi translation button for open mode. It would be better if they did it instead of WPS, more confusing.
• Long starts. Specially not measured, but for 15-20 seconds exactly
• At the Yota booth, they said that the approximate battery life was 4 hours versus 24 for Yota Many. This is very upsetting.
• As it was written on the box, the simultaneous connection of up to 5 devices . Also upset. UPD: connected 7 devices, everything worked!
• There is no Wi-Fi off function when there is no connection to LTE.
• The manual says that a short press puts the device into standby mode. Nothing like this. Either use it or turn it off, there is no third option.
• It starts to get very hot after 5-10 minutes of work. So that even through the bag is felt.

Pros:

• Removable SIM card. (rather, not even a plus, but a certain neutral feature)
• Software stuffing (about it below).

Software stuffing

Although they “offended” this router with battery life and materials, but the software stuff here is like a full-fledged router. Castrated on all sides, Yota Many quietly smokes on the sidelines.

Screenshots:

Log into the admin area (PS operating instructions were not included, the selection method found a pair of admin-admin )







Internals:







"Power management modes" - as pathetically said. In fact, there is a waiting time in minutes.



















I can’t measure speed, work time and so on. I am not in coverage during testing.

Total

Pretty good router with its pluses and minuses. Pocket does not delay and does not take half a bag.

Personally, I did not have time to get used to Many, because I used it for only 3 days, so for me the transition will be painless.

It seems to have described everything to the maximum. If you have any questions - I will be glad to answer :)

Thanks for attention!



PS did not have enough karma to post in the iron hub. If it is possible - transfer there.



UPD: They sent me instructions from Yota.

UPD: The speed does not cut, everything is fine in this regard.
