Huawei E392 Review

Previously 4G LTE surfsticks were always available with branding and software of large mobile operators Vodafone, O2 or Telekom. Disadvantages: these sticks are externally printed with a logo of the network operator and the preinstalled software can often only certain SIM cards into the net. For a few weeks is the Huawei E392 LTE a Stick in the market , which is easily usable with any network provider and not tailored to a particular provider – Smart4GWiFi.com team has tested the Huawei E392 detail .



The First Impression of E392

Overall, the Huawei E392 looks quite big and bulky for a surf stick, which is surely also because the USB port is not pivoted and therefore only a horizontal use of the notebook is possible. Dimensions of E392 are 100mm x 35mm x 14mm, 40g.


The Huawei E392 can run on both Windows and Mac OS X. With a SIM card inserted, and the drive connected to the computer, the connection software can be installed. The installation takes normally a few minutes, then the LTE stick can be used immediately. If the PIN protection of the SIM card is activated, you will be prompted to enter the PIN. Other settings must not be made normally, the connection software will detect the inserted SIM card automatically and configures the matching connection parameters. If there are two different APNs with a provider, you can select them before joining in a dropdown menu. By clicking “Connect “the Internet connection is established - the Huawei E392 always selects the fastest available network.


E392 Works Nice with 4G network

In LTE network are connected to the E392 speeds of up to 100 Mbit / s download possible upload speed figure is still 50 Mbits / s. The Huawei E392 can be used not only in all German LTE networks, but also in other countries such as in Scandinavia or in Australia. If the drive is used in the UMTS network, thanks to DC-HSPA + speeds of up to 43.2 Mbit / s are possible - provided at the current location, these speeds is also supported. In my test I could s reach about 52 MBits /s in the Vodafone LTE network in the download, in the UMTS network of Telekom there were at least 30 Mbit / s. The high data rates are not only marketing but with matching fare quite well in practice, accessible. An overview of these tariffs, we have put together for you here for Vodafone, Telekom and O2.

In my experience the Huawei E392 cannot be turned into a vertical position in which the reception is usually somewhat better. If you live in a poorly serviced area, the use of an external antenna is recommended. For the LTE stick has two connections for two separate external antennas or TS9 MIMO antenna with two antenna connectors - depending on the use case.
