Mobile router Alcatel Y900. Alcatel OneTouch LINK Y850v0 – stable and fast router with built-in battery Settings\Wireless Networks\Wi-F Settings\

Wi-Fi routers in modern world have become devices as common as televisions or computers. They are massively installed in offices, apartment buildings and country houses. True, not all of them have support for LTE networks and a backup switching function in case of signal loss from the basic Internet source. The signal source here can be not only a wired connection, but also 2G/3G and 4G mobile networks.

A month ago, TCL Communication, which produces mobile equipment and network hardware under the Alcatel brand, announced a new WiFi router for high-speed Internet connection - the Alcatel HH40V Internet Center. The device became the first device of this brand that combines the functions of a classic router operating from a wired Internet source and a wireless LTE modem that can be connected to the network of any cellular operator, including using 2G/3G.

The Qualcomm MDM9207 chip is responsible for the communication part of the router. It supports all mobile network standards up to 4G with download speeds of up to 150 Mbps. In addition, the device can also be used via a wired Ethernet connection. The gadget can distribute Wi-Fi to 32 users at once at speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s.

In addition to the Internet center itself, the kit includes a power adapter with a USB output with a voltage of 5V and a current of 2A, a USB-microUSB cable (the device is powered through it), a LAN RJ45 cable (for connecting to a local network or connecting to a computer), 2 external LTE antennas with SMA connector, quick start guide, warranty card.

As you can see, the set is complete here. No additional accessories required.

Appearance

id="sub2">

The appearance of the router is calm and minimalistic. On sale you can find two colors of design - black and white. We tested the black version. The body itself is made of hard plastic. The top part uses a glossy coating, which immediately becomes dusty during use.

The bottom has numerous holes for ventilation. You can also see mounts for installing the router on the wall.

On the front of the device there is a round on/off button. On the left side there is a slot for a microSIM-sized SIM card. On the right side there is a WPS mode key and a hole for resetting all settings, designated “RESET”.

On the back of the Alcatel HH40V you can see two RJ45 LAN ports for connecting computers and networks, two SMA connectors for connecting external LTE antennas, as well as a microUSB output for the power cable. All interfaces are marked. There are no difficulties when connecting wires or external devices. Everything is intuitive.

Connection and setup

id="sub3">

The Alcatel HH40V Internet Center is an 802.11n Wi-Fi access point operating at 2.4 GHz 2x2 MIMO. Qualcomm MDM9207 1.2 GHz and QCA9531 550 MHz chips are responsible for the performance of the equipment. It is worth noting the presence of 256 MB of permanent memory and 128 MB of RAM.

It can simultaneously serve up to 32 users. The router works both from a wired connection and from mobile network GSM/UMTS/LTE standards. Connection and setup are distinguished by their intuitiveness and speed.

To remain constantly connected to the Internet, the Alcatel HH40V allows you to select a primary and backup connection. For example, if the cable connection is lost, the 4G connection is activated automatically. To amplify the LTE signal, the device uses two external antennas with a gain of 2 dBi.

To operate the router, you just need to connect it to power and install a SIM card of any operator into a special slot. You can also connect the device to an Ethernet network.

After turning on for 2-3 minutes, the router determines the type of network source and begins to distribute Wi-Fi internet. This happens automatically. The progress of connections can be monitored using indicators on the front of the case. To control the router, you can use a special mobile app Alcatel LINK APP. You can also configure the equipment using the web interface http://192.168.1.1 in the browser.

Data for accessing the WLAN (network code, keys, default administrator password) are located on a sticker on the bottom of the router.

It is worth noting that when using LTE Cat.4 as an Internet source, the maximum speed is up to 150 Mbit/s when receiving data and up to 50 Mbit/s when sending data. In the 3G mobile network, up to 42 Mbit/s when receiving data and up to 11.5 Mbit/s when sending data. If you use Ethernet, the speed will be up to 100 Mbit/s. When using Wi-Fi 802.11n 2.4 GHz 2x2 MIMO - up to 300 Mbps.

Under test conditions, the device regularly distributes the Internet. We used the LTE network of the MegaFon operator as a signal source. We previously measured speed using a smartphone. As a result, the router distributed approximately the same speed to devices connected via Wi-Fi, including a computer connected via twisted pair cable.

Functions

id="sub4">

The manufacturer of the Alcatel HH40V Internet center promises reservation and control of Internet access 24/7. Using settings via the web interface or a mobile application for Android and iOS called Alcatel LINK APP, you can optimize the operation of the device according to your own needs and goals.

IPoE, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, static IP address are provided. It is possible to clone a MAC address. There is support for IPv4, IPv6 and dual stack, TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP protocols. Also worth noting are the dynamic DNS (DDNS) settings, MAC address/URL/IP filtering, built-in SPI firewall, NAT support, DMZ, port forwarding, UPnP, IP-TV support: IGMPv1, IGMPv2, IGMP snooping, TVport. The router provides transit VPN connections, works in Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), DLNA.

Among other things, Alcatel HH40V has support for SMS, USSD. Firmware updates are carried out automatically over the network (FOTA).

Results

id="sub5">

The device can really be extremely useful for use in small offices and homes where there is no stable wired connection, or in cases of unstable operation of the main channel. You can connect to the router not only computers, smartphones, tablets, but also other portable equipment: printers, MFPs, gaming consoles, monitors, TVs, etc.

Another question is that average data transfer speeds are, at best, 100 Mbit/s, and this is with a wired connection. In the case of using a mobile network, the speed is approximately 20-30 Mbit/s in 4G and about 6-7 Mbit/s in 3G. This is quite enough for an undemanding person. However, this may not be enough for professional users. This fact is worth considering if you have a stable connection channel. In the case of a mobile network, it is simply not possible to improve speeds.

On the day the review was published, the Alcatel HH40V Internet center could be purchased in stores at a price of 4,790 rubles.

Alcatel OneTouch LINK Y850v0 is a router with a great design and a lot of features. The developers tried to fit the maximum number of functions into their product.

Despite the fact that this model was released at the end of 2014, today it is one of the most functional and easy to use. Then it became a wonderful gift for the New Year holidays. To understand whether you should buy this device, let's take a closer look at it.

1 Distributing an Internet signal to a maximum of 10 devices simultaneously. The Internet enters the router using a SIM card inserted into it (2G, 3G or 4G). You can use any card. But in Russia this router is supplied by the company. If you buy a device from this operator, remember that you will only be able to use their SIM cards in it.

2 Wi-Fi signal coverage of a room measuring approximately 60 m2(standard three-room apartment of European type - Euro-3).

3 Powered by a 3000 mAh battery. This, according to the developers, is enough for 8 hours when all 10 devices are actively connected.

Spoiler: it's not true!

4 Connecting microSD memory cards. The volume can be 32 GB. There is also a built-in memory of 4 GB. Thanks to this, you can watch movies and view other materials without an Internet connection. This feature will definitely be very useful when traveling.

5 Automatic synchronization when connecting with different devices without using a password. To launch it there is .

The delivery set includes the device itself and a Soviet plug, which, by the way, is very convenient.

The fact is that you will not need to purchase additional adapters or anything like that (manufacturers often supply European or Asian sockets, which are not suitable for residents of the former USSR).

In addition, the package also includes .

Appearance

It’s worth saying right away that the appearance of this model is very pleasant. The router will fit into absolutely any interior and will even become an excellent decoration. Its dimensions are 8.4x8.4 cm.

The device is a small square that can be placed or placed on any surface. Thickness – 1.46 cm, and weight – 135 g. Agree, this is very little.

Thanks to this configuration, this gadget can simply be placed in a pocket or left in the glove compartment of a car.

On the front side of the device you can see the Alcatel OneTouch inscription and a small screen, the inscriptions on which will indicate that the router is working.

They also display the level, number of connected devices, operator and other data.

There is a very conveniently located panel on the side that is removable. Under it you can see connectors for a SIM card and microSD. You can also see the code there.

Advice: Immediately after purchase write down the IMEI in your notepad. Better yet, take a photo of it and store the photo in the cloud. So she definitely won't disappear. If the device is stolen, you can prove that it is yours.

The panel can be removed very easily, without special effort . There is also a charging area on the back side. In this case it is magnetic.

That is, you just need to plug the plug into the outlet and attach it to it.

This is very convenient and safe, since cables usually break and can be damaged in other ways. After this, the process of replenishing the battery charge will begin.

In addition, there is a connector on the side for . Everything is done quite conveniently, and no parts are loose, nothing “plays”.

Speed ​​and other operating characteristics

The router also does quite well with this characteristic. Data reception speed when connected to 4G is 150 Mbit/s, and transmission is 50 Mbit/s.

With 3G the speed reaches 21 Mbit/s.

It is important that the transition from 4G to 2G and vice versa occurs automatically, you do not need to adjust any parameters manually.

The connection function is performed by the Qualcomm MDM9225 + AR6004 chipset.

As for the frequencies at which this router operates, Full information about them can be found in Table 1.

At the same time, Wi-Fi works with the 802.11 a/b/g/n standard. This means that the device in question can connect to any currently known Wi-Fi signal source.

In addition, 2x2 MIMO technology is used, which significantly increases throughput.

It is thanks to these and other characteristics of the LINK Y850v0 is one of the most to date.

Ease of connection

As mentioned above, a very convenient and easy-to-use magnetic adapter is used to charge the device.

The user simply needs to attach the plug to the charging pad and plug the entire structure into a power outlet. This is what the device looks like when charging.

Also included is a USB cable, which allows you to charge the router from a computer or from a regular charger for your smartphone or tablet.

Usually these have a plug with a connector and a cable. So, you can freely use it for the Alcatel OneTouch access point.

On the Internet you can find various additional devices for the router. For example, there is.

Actually, to get started you need just insert the SIM card into the access point, turn it on and perform the initial setup.

In the video below you can see the process of unpacking and connecting the model in question.

Features of initial setup

In most cases, setting up a router begins by going to the “192.168.1.1” page in the browser. The traditional login and password are “Admin” and “Admin”.

Although, there may be other details listed on the back of the device, so be sure to look through the device and look for those details.

Using this interface you can do the following:

  • read and send messages (SMS);
  • edit or simply view a book with contacts;
  • see the speed of receiving and sending data;
  • see the time of the current connection;
  • turn off the Internet (there is a big button at the top for this);
  • check and top up your account;
  • manage various services from the operator;
  • change password;
  • turn on the firewall and do much more.

To access all these functions, you just need to go to the appropriate section of the menu.

There is also mobile application ALCATEL LINK APP, which is suitable for both .

The application is completely free and very easy to use.

With its help, you can also manage connections, SMS messages and perform almost the same tasks as in the web interface.

It is important that ALCATEL LINK APP allows you to control traffic.

This means that, for example, if you have a certain amount of free MB within your tariff, but they are running out, the application will report this.

Sound alerts can be configured in the appropriate section of the program.

In addition, you can control the amount of charge in the battery in the same way. The user can also organize access to files from DLNA.

Of course, you can change the password and perform other similar operations in the program.

Although you will have instructions that describe in detail what and how to do after turning it on. You can also contact support. We will return to this later.

A significant drawback of this application is that it does not have Russian language. Many users ask developers to add it, but their requests remain unanswered. In addition, all sorts of glitches are often observed in ALCATEL LINK APP. For example, when starting for the first time, a message may appear stating that the connection has already been made, although this is not the case. In general, developers still need to work hard to make a truly high-quality mobile program!

Autonomy

Above we said that, according to the developers, the 3000 mAh battery capacity of the device lasts for 8 hours if you connect all 10 devices at the same time (although, for example, the website 4gltemall.com indicates 6 hours).

They also say that it can supposedly work for 200 hours in standby mode. Real reviews indicate that the manufacturer lied a little in his conclusions.

For example, one of the users wrote that he had The router works for about 3-4 hours without recharging and this is with one or two connected devices. Moreover, it does not matter what exactly is connected to the signal source - smartphones, tablets, computers or something else. In general, the stated characteristics do not correspond to reality and this is quite a significant minus!

Also in reviews you can read about cases where the battery was somehow incomprehensibly charged in 20 minutes, and then the charge disappeared somewhere in exactly the same time. This may be due to the charge level being displayed incorrectly in the app or on the front of the device.

What if repairs are required?

There will also be no problems with rebooting the device and resetting the settings. But if you need to make some more complex repairs, problems may arise.

For example, although the battery here is removable, getting to it is very problematic. To do this, you will have to disassemble half of the device’s body.

The same goes for other parts. In addition, this model has now been discontinued and no updates can be found for it.

If you have any problems, it is best to contact support on the manufacturer's official website, alcatel-mobile.com.

If you do not find the information you need in the sections of the resource, you can click on the “Call us” button (you can communicate with the operator using a headset) or “Ask us” (this is a text chat).

  • Beautiful design;
  • small dimensions;
  • high speed of reception and transmission;
  • possibility of using memory cards;
  • stable signal distribution;
  • copes with heavy loads (up to 10 connected devices simultaneously);
  • ease of initial setup and management.

The cost of the LINK Y850v0 router is approximately $55-60. Based on these data, everyone can decide for themselves whether they should buy such a model.
