First off, let me say this little router is *tiny*—like, fits-in-your-jeans-pocket tiny. I tossed it in my backpack for a weekend trip, thinking I’d outsmarted hotel Wi-Fi fees. Plugged it into a power bank, popped in my SIM, and… bam. Instant hotspot for my laptop and phone. The ABS plastic feels cheap but survived a few drops (oops).

But here’s the *big* catch: the ‘5G’ in the name? Yeah, no. Mine maxed out at 4G speeds, despite my area having solid 5G coverage. Connection drops happened—usually during Zoom calls, naturally. When it worked, streaming was smooth for two devices, but adding a third made buffering icons my new screensaver.

Security-wise, the WPA2 encryption gave me peace of mind at cafés. But that ‘plug-and-play’ promise? Took 15 minutes of resetting before it recognized my SIM. For €50, I expected less guesswork and more ‘5G.’ Handy for emergencies, but don’t ditch your main router.
