huawei e586

Huawei Philippines lent me a E586 pocket WiFi so I could bring it on my trip to Europe. We already reviewed the Huawei E586 from last year and the one lent to me by Huawei is unlocked so I'm able to use it practically anywhere (suggested retail price is Php6,500). Too bad I could not find another carrier that offer speeds faster than 7.2Mbps so I can't really check out how much bandwidth the Huawei E586 can handle. Devices like the Huawei E586 maximizes the speed of the HSPA+ network (just like the ZTE MF60). I've been using Huawei's MyFi devices for years now and have seen similar ones offered by other manufacturers (see our Huawei E5 Pocket WiFi review and the ZTE MF60 review). This newer model, the E586, supports HSPA+ networks with speeds up to 21Mbps. Huawei E586 HSPA+ Pocket WiFi: • HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS 2100/1900/900/850 MHz, EDGE/GPRS/GSM • HSPA+ download data service of up to 21 Mbit/s • HSPA+ upload data service of up to 5.76 Mbit/s • HSDPA download data service of up to 14.4 Mbit/s • WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and WPS • Built-in DHCP Server, DNS RELAY and NAT. For the most part, the E586 is practically plug-and-play. Read more in our articles including "Huawei E586 on O2 Germany Speed Tests" and "Huawei E586 Review".
