The HUAWEI AI Cube is a wireless router that lets you connect up to 64 devices to the internet securely with a 4G SIM. That makes it slightly more expensive than most other mobile broadband devices from Three, such as the Huawei HomeFi and Huawei B535 WebBox, but then the Huawei AI Cube can do more due to the Alexa smart speaker (though again, isn’t quite as good at the broadband part as the B535 WebBox). While loud is good, there was depth and roundness to the sound too, though without testing the audio quality alongside its key competitors or in a controlled environment.

However, this was due to the more demanding procedure of our MacBook Air for establishing a new connection. You will discover a flurry of features including “best position” which allows you to check for the signal strength in various rooms.With Cat6 LTE, the Cube offers up download and upload speeds of up to 300Mbps and 50Mbps respectively. The speeds I see are invariably slower than traditional home broadband, by a huge margin, and less consistent. Huawei has been riding the AI wave since its Mate 10 Pro was announced, and it's at it again, thwacking the buzzword in the title of this product. Either way, it doesn’t completely make up for the lack of a Wi-Fi option, which would have offered feature parity with run-of-the-mill smart speakers.

It has rapidly ascended the ladder to become one of the world’s biggest smartphone manufacturers, partly through pioneering combinations of components.

On an unrelated note one thing to be aware of is that this doesn’t have a battery, so this isn’t ideal as a portable MiFi device.

If you want to just use its router functionality, it supports WiFi speeds capping out at 1,200Mbps, (that’s the aggregated bandwidth over 2. I know Three are rubbish but unfortunately beggars can't be choosers so I need to make the most of it.On the plus side, with far-field voice recognition thanks to four microphones, it seemed to respond quickly to being woken with the word 'Alexa' and it was able to make out commands even in a room with a fair bit of hustle and bustle. The Huawei B535 WebBox on the other hand is arguably the best option if all you want from the device is 4G home broadband. We checked our speed when using the Huawei AI Cube device and found it reached an average download speed of 89Mb.

The range is not super impressive but I run an old router in the loft as a WiFi extender this gives me full coverage of house with solid brick walls and garden. This isn’t going to compete with a high-end speaker, but the sound is better than you might expect for a device of this size. I would hugely appreciate it if anyone here is able to take the time to read through this post and give me the benefit of your experience. Defective product sim tray keeps ejecting the sim card, seller stalls for time asking over and over again for pictures and videos and asking if you are or not entering the sim at an angle asking stupid useless questions.I am with EE and all was great last year (2021), signal was great, number of connected devices was great, and the built in Alexa functionality was good. I now have LTE H-Monitor running, so I can supply any information that is available in that if it would help troubleshoot my issue. With groups, an Echo speaker knows which smart devices are around it, for easier control – such as being able to say, “Alexa, turn on the light. This is delivered without the need for a phone line or cable, meaning it could be used as an alternative to home broadband. The app has some useful functions such as seeing a network tree and being able to remove internet access easily for certain devices.
