– Unlocked ZTE MF286D CAT 12 600mbps 4G+/LTE Home/Office Router (White). 2 x RJ11 Tel Ports. 2 x External Antennas. Works with any Mobile Network Sim Worldwide. 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi + Bridge Mode (Renewed)

I’m really impressed with the 3 Network ZTE MF286D 4G+ Router; it’s been a reliable and powerful solution for home internet. Setup was quick and simple, and it works seamlessly with any SIM card on the 3 Network. The two external antennas make a noticeable difference in signal strength and stability, especially in areas where reception can be a bit patchy. The router delivers fast, consistent 4G+ speeds, and my devices stay connected without drops even when streaming, gaming, or working from home. The web interface is easy to navigate, and I love that there’s minimal fuss once it’s up and running. Compact, sleek, and dependable , this has been a great investment for anyone needing solid mobile broadband at home or on the go. Highly recommended!

Received the router yesterday . Being old and not very techno , we didn’t really know what to do . We rang the number on the card that came with the device ( Eternalcomms ) and spoke to a lovely man named Steve . He talked us through steps to get the device sorted. Because we were still needing a bit more support, we were able to visit the offices of the company in Brookmams Park (30 mins away from where we live) and Steve finished the set up for us . It wasn’t a problem with the devise - it was a problem with our lack of tech knowledge . The product is now working fantastically and we cannot fault the amazing tech support we got . It was actually a very easy process !🥹

Though this router is an older model now, it is still great for the price to performance ratio. Easy to use, compatible with most UK sims right out of the box. Strong Wi-Fi signal through the use of the external antennae. Best 4G+ speeds available (Cat12) at this price point. The only downsides encountered so far are a persistent issue with a failed OTA firmware update, and the limited control features of the ZTELink companion app, most of the router fine-tuning still needs to be done from the admin panel through a web browser.

This item was sold with a smarty card. so i duly joined smarty for my internet service. I started experiencing problems, buffering, dropping out, unable to access email, and apps on and off. contacted seller who after some dialogue informed that the service carrier must have blocks on and i should request removal, which i did, but problem persisted. after more dialogue i was told that the problem due to the fact that Smarty piggy back off the 3 network and that the router was only finding a signal on and off . i was sent a link and told to follow the instructions and the problem would be fixed. followed the instructions and continued to have the same problems. decided to try the sim card in another router, worked perfectly. went back to seller to inform that as i had previously indicated i believed the router was faulty and requested a replacement. seller came back saying that the service would only be as good as the service from the provider. i contacted amazon customer service who initially informed me that they would contact seller but in any event after 48 hours i should make A-Z claim. only to find on trying to make the said claim it was denied as the 90 day deadline had passed . i am left with a very poor internet service , having wasted hours contacting seller, amazon customer service and no way to remedy the problem. last word from Amazon was a suggestion that i should claim back through my bank. sounds to me like dereliction of duty

Purchased to replace a TP LINK Archer MR400. Smarty and other 3 based networks have really bad performance now as the Archer doesn't have VOIP. Anyway, back to the ZTE. I purchased the unlocked version so we can use other sims. It worked straight out the box with no setup. Mine came with a label on the front informing that the login IP is 192.168.32.1 which is indeed correct. Also the WLAN password is only the first 8 digits shown. If you're logging in via your mobile you don't have many options on the GUI. The PC login option allows you to do a lot more. We have a cell tower probably 200m away and I'm now enjoying 75meg and more download speeds and roughly the same upload. Very happy and would defiantly recommend. With 5G routers still expensive this is a great option. Update: 180923. Replaced the Smarty Sim for Talk Mobile (better deal), which on Vodaphone. Had to change the APN setting as the router thought it was Vodaphone PYG. Took a couple of mins to add a new APN profile. Now we have speeds of over 150meg. That's 3 times the speed using the same sim in the older TP MR400 Archer. I'm defiantly enjoying 4G+.

We recieced this item but it is not unlocked, it appears to be second hand and it only works three network. It has the Three name and logo on the front of the unit. It does not have ZTE written anywhere. I can't seem to find anywhere on Amazon to contact the supplier about this unit. I had to get a Three sim card and it works with that but the reception with Three is terrible in our location even with an Arial. Very disappointing
