Some kind of a fragrant cafe, a netbook on the table, a cappuccino with foam, I decide something in the morning ... by fumbling my jeans in my front pocket, pull out ... and put HIM between the netbook and the mug.

Oh, those surprised eyes of the girl at the table opposite! Probably thought it was a prosthesis)
A small review of the prosthesis, traffic.
Yes, what in our time just can not be found. And to be surprised there really is something - not everyone knows about WiMAX itself, and even more so about the fact that Yota recently launched a mobile WiMAX-WiFi router for sale in the form of ... yes, its dear.
')
The box is white and blue, in the form of a small cube.

Having removed the “cover” of the box, we get two identical “prisms”.

The first is a remarkable white adapter, on one side of which there is a plug in the socket, on the other - a USB port. It is logical then to assume that the egg will work from the network, but over a single wire (USB). Actually, this particular wire is also located in the first part of the box. It is also white, on its reverse side there is a narrow oblong connector, which often used to be found on mobile phones and I recently met on the
Nexx NMP-280 player. In addition to this wire, the kit also comes with a Y-shaped wire (one end goes to the "soap", the other two, usb, to the laptop). It allows you to recharge the modem from the laptop, if there is no power outlet.

What is in the second "prism"? I get an egg (out of the box), a user manual (20 pages), and a brief user manual (1 page) for drumming. Everything.
Manual at a good level - in addition to the materiel, there are all the necessary instructions.
Appearance
What can I say ... unusual! ) The dimensions are about the same as those of a mobile phone, but the shape of the device itself is unusual - really something new in the design of devices.

If you look at the top of the egg, you can see the logo and a lot of holes of two sizes around the perimeter, I barely counted - 92 pieces.
At one end you can see the connector hidden by the latch where the USB cable is connected. From the other end there are three points-diode - WiMAX, Wi-Fi and charge indicator.


On the reverse side are two arched rubber feet, a sticker, a power button, a “point” Reset and another 70 holes.

If there was not a Nuf man drawn on the lid, but a bitten apple, I am sure that real fans might have noticed the substitution, but they would definitely be confused)
The simpler the item, the harder it is to break it and the more reliable it is. Sometimes it seems that this is not an egg, but a stone (“... from the coast of Koktebel” is so dreamy about vacation), which can be worn anywhere and in any way — there’s nothing to break, in the worst case, it will be just rubbing.
Turn on and work
Hold the "at the bottom" button for 4 seconds and voila - the egg comes to life. The WiMAX indicator lights up - the modem is trying to catch the network. Wi-Fi is always ready for work and defense. The last power indicator shows battery charge. Yes, yes, the gusto of the device is that it is autonomous! Charge via USB and you can go back home (with benefit within coverage). But the very fact of being able to work from the outlet adds advantages.
Being in the network zone, the modem will immediately connect to it - we activate on the site and after the next power-up, you can enjoy the Internet. More precisely, you first need to turn on Wi-Fi on a laptop or where else ...

The admin is located at
192.168.1.1 - in principle, there is nothing unusual in it. This, of course, is not a full routing, but still. Wireless settings, port mapping, WiMAX connection information and firmware upgrade page.



When working, the egg is slightly heated, but does not seem to sweat) Measurement of speed, the screenshot of which is below, was carried out in a bus in the area of ​​Kuzminki metro station, but the same picture is used in the center.

I think it's super.

How much is the eggs for the people?
pros- Compact size, light weight - can be carried in your pocket;
- High-quality assembly, nice appearance, functional display;

In this model, surprised : unusual shape, ease of use
Advice to the manufacturer : invest in the development of fuel cells;) and continue to do a good thing.

the end
If there is an opportunity to work from the network, then for students it is just a godsend. No power outlet? Any laptop will come to the rescue, from which battery the egg will always be able to bite off on “eat” In any case, the fuse is stable enough for two couples at the institute, and “for all”.
The price is like a good level “adult” router - apparently, this is a fee just for mobility and for “just appeared”. Although again - you can throw off the group and there will be no problem. I’m already imagining “Sanya, let me pay a whit for you in October, and you start cursing for me” :)
A uniquely useful device with a pleasant design, made in the best traditions ... And if earlier you had to spend one USB port for a modem on a laptop without a WiMAX module, now you can sit on the Internet from any device without getting eggs from your pocket. I think this is a good plus for a mobile person.
I shake Yota's crab - I like their ads all over Moscow, they like the ease of use and the speed at which you can work almost anywhere, you like the prices of these services. Well, that they were not afraid to ennoble the holy))) Well done shorter!
