They appear identical apart from some stupid app they’ve made. They are both cat 12, both have the same Wi-Fi specs etc. there’s really no reason anyone should pay any extra for it tbh.And i just recieved the pervious hub made by ZTE, is this one any better?
Thanks for the info, still in my cooling off periodThey appear identical apart from some stupid app they’ve made. They are both cat 12, both have the same Wi-Fi specs etc. there’s really no reason anyone should pay any extra for it tbh.
Started a U.K. office in 2019, post Brexit result. Prior they had EU offices and Germany was a large market, T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom & Voda Germany as numerous ‘Vodafone Easybox’ models (broadband + USB Vodafone 3/4G modem failover.View attachment 1525
According to the three website it's a Sercomm.
Can't see it on the Sercomm website anywhere though.

Must admit, I've never heard of them before.
From what I hear, Telstra is as much of a failure as BT is.They star

I think Vodafone AU also used one of their broadband + 4G failover routers too when the National Broadband Network rolled out over copper landline incumbent Telstra (Telecom Australia).
Yeah. BT’s Gov funding begging bowl since privatisation gets it the top award though. Aussies don’t give a castlemain four X for British uncouthness, esp when a public body already privatised, some gov funding has gone to Telstra but even they wouldn’t let BT win other regional/local gov funded bidding contracts for their failure to deliver in the first place. AU gov just forced a payout for access to Telstra ‘Openreach’ ducts for their National Broadband Network. It’s not perfect but then by comparison it’s so British to keep paying tax income to a failing gov body and even one after it was privatised almost 40 years ago (‘84).From what I hear, Telstra is as much of a failure as BT is.
No complaints with the ZTE I have to say, although I wish I could view band info and stuff on it.to end off this pretty much dead thread, its not worth buying the 4G+ Hub. It's the same device as the MF286D, just more expensive. Its only benefit is the app that it comes with but if you don't need some weird app to manage your router you'd be better off with the ZTE.

But I didn't say that......ZTE MF286 is Cat 6 300Mbps
Sorry the HUAWEI B535 was the 4G Hub, the (then) new ZTE 4G+Hub (along with its HUAWEI mobile broadband sister 4G+ http://www.three.co.uk/discover/devices/huawei/4g-plus-mifi?memory=0&colour=Black )But I didn't say that......
The ZTE and the Sercomm both are CAT 12 devices, there's not any differences in that respect.
Thanks for sharing Adam2173, good to see the actual specs of the device.So i received the 4g plus hub yesterday and i must say, this thing is ugly. Put it in the same spot as my b535 and no signal. I checked the router settings (very basic by the way, as i thought it would be) and couldn't understand why i wasn't receiving a signal.. until i put the bunny ears on. I don't think this thing has an internal antenna? Unless my unit is faulty. These look like the antenna i got in the box but in white. I have line of site to my mast and get a very good signal with my b535 until congestion kicks in at 7pm onward. I was getting an alright connection but not compared to the b535. When running speed tests on various sites, i was getting very erratic results. Speeds jumping all over place during the speed tests. I'd say that was normal but it usually isn't so severe as i was seeing.
Model number on the router - lte2122gr
Some info on the outer box. Fibocom-NL952
I do plan to send this back so if anyone has any questions about the device or UI, ask away.
No bother! If you type the model number in google only 1 result pops up, a pdf wifi certificate. I'm new here so unsure if i can link to pdfs that auto download to peoples devices. Anyway, the company listed on the pdf is Sercomm Corporation. Why Three chose to use their company name for their website is a head scratcherThanks for sharing Adam2173, good to see the actual specs of the device.
I'm wondering why three have it on their website as a Sercomm.
Will be handy for those wondering what it's all about.
Going by your reports, it doesn't look like something to get too excited about.
