E8278 Design Appearance

• There are two models E8278s-603, E8278s-602.
  Compared to E392 and other normal LTE surfsticks,
  Huawei E8278 larger in size, and also in its
  technology a standard connector for SIM-card
  regular size, a slot for microSD memory cards and
  two pigtail connector for an external antenna.
  Connector is two, because over LTE technology is
  used coding diversity signal in which data
  transmission is performed via at least 2 antennas
  (two antennas in the base station and the two
  antennas in the modem). All connectors are
  covered with plugs to insert SIM-card, you need
  to move the front cover of the modem.

E8278 as a modem and control software

• Modem Router supports data networks EDGE, 3G
  (DC-HSPA up to 42.2 Mbit / s) and LTE (up to
  100 Mbit / s) - in a word, universal. By
  connecting the laptop to the E8278 as the
  USB-modem at 2 am, the network of "Megaphone" I
  was able to accelerate to 92 (!) Mbit / s,
  although my previous record was 80 Mbit / s on
  the modem E392. It is necessary to mention that I
  was lucky - the nearest base station LTE is next
  door, but the fact that the device can digest
  such speeds, says a good chip inside.

E8278 as a router

• Do not just believe that the housing modem
  engineers were able to fit more and WiFi- router,
  but it is a fact. The formal characteristics of
  the device claimed to support up to 10 connected
  Wi-Fi users. In practice, this could not be
  verified, scraped together only three devices -
  tablet, laptop and smartphone.
• The first testing cast doubt on the power WiFi-
  module the measurements by hand speedtest.net
  periodically twitched and crashed. Therefore, in
  the case of a router in the car when the Internet
  needs of 2-3 passengers (for example, a wife, two
  children), opportunity Huawei E8278 is more than
  enough.
• It is worth noting that the E8278 router mode
  always works - and when you connect it to
  USB-port of the computer, and when inserting it
  into the AC adapter with USB, and when inserting
  it into USB-port of any other router. Even when
  you are using the E8278 on the computer as a
  modem, others may take away the Internet on WiFi.

E8278 Power

• The modem router can obtain power from any device
  equipped with port USB. These devices can be a
  laptop computer, a desktop monitor with USB- hub
  network adapter or laptop battery. In the latter
  case, the E8278 is able battery life even away
  from the wall.
• Speaking of network adapters. The instructions to
  the E8278 strictly recommended to connect the
  router to the network only through the company
  network adapter Huawei Charger, the use of any
  other instructions the authors believe promises
  loss guarantees and other catastrophic
  consequences. Searching the Internet for the
  specification of this wonderful adapter revealed
  that the output current of 2.0A adapter will make
  the voltage standard - 5V. This E8278 works fine
  through the adapter 220 from the Apple iPad mini
  (1.0A), and from USB-port of the computer that
  provides all standard 0.5A.

E8278 in the Car

• To connect the E8278 via the cigarette lighter,
  you can use any USB adapter from 12 to 5 volts.
  With a total spread of smartphones, tablets,
  video recorders and navigators certainly have
  such an accessory 9 out of 10 drivers. Ease of
  use of the router in the machine will depend on
  the location of the cigarette lighter socket or
  USB-ports. As practice has shown the use of
  several cars, not in each cigarette lighter
  socket is located optimally.

• In my case, 12V outlet was located immediately to
  the right of the lever gearbox, so while running
  a hand now and then threatened to touch the
  device. The Toyota Allex, on the contrary, the
  place chosen for the outlet is almost perfect -
  the distance to the large lever arm only
  inserted the router will interfere with open
  bottom drawer for small items. The same applies
  to the Toyota Camry. Perhaps the best way to
  accommodate the router will be lighter in the
  rear shelf next to the trunk - but the
  possibility is only the owners of wagons,
  minivans and SUVs, and some not at all.

An alternative way to connect the E8278 - plug it
into USB-port on the front of the car. True,
there may be some nuances if the port is too
close to the steering wheel, you will hurt him or
his hands or knees.

Conclusion

• Compact WiFi- router in the form of USB-modem - a
  rare guest on the shelves of mobile shops and
  electronics stores, but for most motorists this
  gadget would come in handy. He sat in the car ,
  stuck in the cigarette lighter worked , pulled
  out of the cigarette lighter , slipped back into
  his pocket - a simple and straightforward
  scenario for equipping machines Wi-Fi access ,
  especially for family travelers. In this regard,
  the router - whistle on the order of convenient
  conventional mobile routers, which would connect
  the cable.
