HUAWEI E3131 3G USB Modem 21.6 Mbps - Unboxing & Demo



The Huawei E3131 is a great little 3G USB stick that offers 21.6 Mbps on HSPA+ and 5.76 on HSUPA.
It works with modem Operating System like Windows & Mac.
In the box, it comes with Quick start guides & some IMEI numbers of the modem.
It's very small, neat & the build quality is sturdy.
The USB stick accepts up to 32GB of memory (microSD card only) which is a great feature to use it as a memory stick too.
& it takes 3G Normal Size SIM card.

It does have a SMS feature, you can send & receive from & to your USB modem.

It is very easy & simple to use it, just plug & play, and your computer will do the rest. Of course you will need to setup Internet settings in the modem itself, but nothing to worry about, it does not require a rocket science & a small child can do it.

When you plug the modem to your Computer, it's gonna detect it and do everything for you, in case it didn't, go to the modem in My Computer or in Finder & click the detected USB & the software should be there. Run it & that's it.
Now go to your Internet Browser & it's gonna bring up the Menu of the USB modem.
- go to settings
- go to profile management
- create a new profile
- Add your profile name & your Internet settings from your provider ( APN & Password)
- save it & connect

Of course you need a SIM card installed with a Service plan.
The Internet Speed depends on your Service plan & not on the Modem, if your plan allows faster than 21.6 Mbps then you will be stuck with 21.6 Mbps, because the Modem does not offer faster, & if your Plan does not allow a speed up to 21.6 Mbps & lets say that it's 1 Mbps then your speed will be 1 Mbps.


bottom line: It's necessary sometimes to have a USB modem while travelling, the microSD slot is a great feature. get it if you need it.
