Review of Mobile LTE router from Yota
Hi all!
For a long, long time I was looking for at least some information about the router produced by the Chinese company Quanta, which they give as a replacement for Yota Egg and Yota Many. I couldn't find anything other than photos, so I'll briefly describe it here.
Beware of traffic! 
Appearance and comparison with Yota Many
This is what the router looks like (it's white):
As you can see from the photographs, it is slightly larger than the Yota Many in all respects.
Battery 1430 mAh There is no Yota logo on the SIM card. But there is a seal on top of it.
What is in the box?
Unfortunately, I threw the box away immediately; there will be no photos.
- Router with SIM card
- Stickers
- Cable 2xUSB - micro-USB
- Battery (if I had not turned on the router before throwing out the box, the battery would have flown into the tank along with it. 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
Feelings from the router
Immediately about the disadvantages:
- As soon as you press the body a little, you can hear a crunch from all sides. They cheapened the materials; the Yota Many has a much nicer body 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 it's not very pleasant.
- There is no button to switch Wi-Fi to open mode. It would be better if they did it instead of WPS, it would be more useful.
- It takes a long time to start. I didn’t measure it specifically, but exactly 15-20 seconds
- At the Yota stand they said that the approximate battery life is 4 hours versus 24 for Yota Many. This was very upsetting.
- As it was written on the box, simultaneous connection of up to 5 devices
.
It was also upsetting. UPD: I connected 7 devices, everything worked! - There is no function to turn off Wi-Fi when there is no LTE connection.
- The instructions say 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 operation. So that you can feel it even through your bag.
Pros:
- Removable SIM card. (probably not even a plus, but some kind of neutral feature)
- Software stuffing (more about it below).
Software stuffing
Although this router was “offended” by its battery life and materials, the software stuffing here is like that of a full-fledged router. Castrated from all sides, Yota Many smokes quietly on the sidelines.
Screenshots:
Login to the admin panel (PS the operating instructions were not included in the kit, I found the admin-admin
)
Internals:
“Managing power supply modes” - how pathetically said. In fact, there is the time to go into standby mode in minutes.
I can’t measure speed, operating time, etc. I am not in coverage area during testing.
Total
It's a pretty good router with its pros and cons. The pocket does not weigh down and does not take up half the bag. Personally, I didn’t have time to get used to Many, because... I've only used it for 3 days so the transition will be painless for me. I think I described everything to the maximum. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer. Thank you for your attention!
PS I didn’t have enough karma to post to the “Iron” hub. If possible, move it there.
UPD: Yota sent me instructions. UPD: The speed does not slow down, everything is fine in this regard.
