Timeouts and slow instead of 5G and LTE
I bought this device to use 5G/ LTE on the road and in my holiday flat. Unfortunately I am very disappointed, my 40 francs China router with only 4G brings more constant speeds than this expensive device, although full network and alleged 5g. No recommendation to buy
Pro

- Good operation
Contra
- No transmission power
- No constant transmission

Constantly overheats and loses connection with Ipad
In spring, everything went as expected. In the
summer with the heat, the appliance had problems. I cooled it down again and again and then it worked again. But what really annoys me recently are the connection problems. I bought a new Ipad Pro 13 M4. The Acer can't handle it at all. It loses the connection every few minutes and then takes ages to reconnect. No problem with Macbook, Iphone and old Ipad but nothing works with the Ipad Pro. Unfortunately, I can't return the device because I bought it back in May... I can't recommend it to anyone! Anyone who knows anything about Wifi connection with the Ipad Pro is welcome to contact me. Thank you!Extremely poor performance in 4G/5G operation and WLan range
Very disappointing. Therefore no purchase recommendation - unless you only work outdoors.
Switch to Netgear Nighthawk M6 ProPro
- The built-in eSIM with data subscription solutions
- Robust housing
- Simple menu
- Provider reception display to find the best reception
- Powerful battery
Contra
- Extremely poor 5G reception
- Even the iPhone 15 Pro Max has better reception
- The iPad M4 13 inch has significantly better reception - additional performance of 20 MB/s
- The WLan coverage is a joke. If you are 3-4 metres away you lose the WLan signal
- A device for hotspots, but the iPad does the job of a hotspot much better
- Return after one day of testing
So far so good.
Presumably you need a special cable to be able to use the device as a power bank?
Pro
- Size OK.
- Battery ok
Contra
- Missing USB socket.
- Instructions for use as a power bank are missing
Would buy it again
The initial situation: A good, but not 5G-capable mobile phone used as a hotspot in a flat with mostly mediocre to poor internet connection. Goal: To improve the internet, regardless of the mobile's position. The Acer Enduro M3 was used for this purpose. The joy after commissioning was great. With the help of the nice feature of level measurement (++), I found the ideal location for receiving the 5G network. I would never have thought that the reception level would have such an impact on the speed. It's a shame that the router doesn't have a connection for external antennas (nth). I use solar energy to supply power and charge the battery. I can't agree at all with an earlier review in which strong heating is mentioned. This may have something to do with poor reception.
Be careful when fitting the mounting bracket! If this is not done correctly, it can lead to unpleasant experiences.Pro
- Level measurement (therefore optimum location can be determined)
- Favourable price
- Settings can be adjusted with user-friendly operation
Contra
- The icing on the cake would be external antenna connections (more of a nice-to-have than a negative point)
Mobile wifi
I use it at home and in the caravan. Swisscom TV and Home POD work great.
Pro
- Mobile
- Is also a power bank
Contra
- Could be smaller
