Product Information

These three APN connections isolate data, voice, and remote management services on an operator's network. The B311-221 supports message writing/sending/receiving and group sending (up to 50 -contacts at a time). When the CLAT function is enabled, the IPv4 device Internet access service cannot reach the maximum throughput. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Huawei owners to provide you with a good answer.

However, Huawei HomeFi has now been discontinued and replaced by the new and improved Three 4G Hub(or B535), which is faster, has more ethernet ports and improved WiFi connectivity. Having said that, the likes of the Three 4G Hub(B535)and Huawei AI Cube both allow up to 64 simultaneous connections, so for peace of mind they might be a better choice.The HomeFi can be managed either using an app or a web interface, with the latter also letting you send and receive text messages, thanks to the HomeFi using a normal SIM card. A maximum of 32 devices can be connected to the WLAN in theory; the actual number of devices that can be connected and served depends on actual conditions. To get the best signal and speeds you should think about where you place the HomeFi – next to a window is often a good bet, and the device also comes with two antenna ports hidden behind a panel on the back, so if you’re not getting the speeds you want then you could try attaching an external SMA antenna. Your computer's hardware system should meet or exceed the recommended system requirements for the installed OS version.

Both unexciting and inoffensive, it benefits from being quite compact at 181 x 126 x 70mm, so you can tuck it away almost anywhere. The B311-221 supports configuration of the Media Access Control (MAC) address to restrict network access. To connect to the network you can press the WPS button on top of the device, orread the name and password for your network on thesticker on the bottom of the router, which also gives you the address and password for the admin panel. You can perform device management and network configuration to ensure normal and stable performance.

It runs off Three’s network and offers 4G speeds to all the devices in your home, but unlike a traditional broadband service it’s easy to set up, doesn’t tie you in to long contracts and you don't need a landline. Ideal for small business, students, use in holiday homes, or for those who move home often when a fixed line is not practical. While, the Three 5G Hub is in a different league entirely supporting the very latest 5G speeds and lower latency.

So gamers who play fast-paced multiplayer games online should bear this, although 50ms pings are still very reasonable and extremely playable. The Huawei B311-221 has a maximum WLAN data transfer rate of 300 Mbit/s, enabling high-speed internet access for multiple users simultaneously. Even 4G at its best isn’t as speedy as the fastest fixed broadband, and being Cat 4 (with theoretical download speed limits of 150Mbps and real world speeds likely to be much lower) the HomeFi isn’t capable of even the fastest 4G speeds. Three HomeFi is internet for people who don’t want or can’t get wired broadband for their home or office. They give you an easy way to see the status of your HomeFi at a glance, based on the colour of the lights or whether they’re blinking.Ithas all the features you'd expect from a standard router, includingbeing to view your data usage andchange your Wi-Fi network name, password orWiFi channel. When an IPv4 device accesses the Internet, the performance is degraded because packets need to be packetized and unpacked. HomeFi enables you to connect up to 32 devices simultaneously at a distance of up to 250 metres over WiFi, so unless you have the smartest of smart homes or live in a mansion, you’ll probably be able to get everything online. Wi-Fi, rather than the faster 5GHz band, so those looking for maximum download speeds might want to connect using the Gigabit ethernet port. It has an Ethernet WAN port and a SIM card slot, allowing you to connect to the internet via wired or wireless connections.

It supports higher upload and download speeds, twice as many device connections, and has more ethernet ports. Of course, if you don’t want to be tied in for 24 months there are other options too, including 12-month and 1-month plans. The HUAWEI LTE CPE B311-221 is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless gateway for multiple users in household or small office environments. Alternatively, you can use the Huawei HiLink app, which lets you do things like view what’s connected to the HomeFi and disconnect devices from it, diagnose issues and optimise performance of the HomeFi, remotely shut down or restart the device, view data usage and more. The Huawei B311 4G Portable Wi-Fi Router lets you share your internet connection with up to 32 WiFi-enabled devices.The device comes with a power plug, a SIM card, an ethernet cable and some documentation, so all you have to do is insert the supplied SIM card, plug the box in and turn it on.
