About this deal

The B311-221 supports 3GPP Release 9 with UE downlink/uplink category 4. The supported service functions are as follows: HiLink devices include Honor routers, Honor set-up boxes, Honor handsets (EMUI 5.0 and later), and more. It does a great job of filling those niches, with the main caveatbeing that you’ll need to make sure you have decent Three signal where you are. Maximum current speeds on Three using the HomeFi are around 70Mbps (9 MB/sec). We achieved speeds of around 8Mbps (1MB/sec)with a network signal strength reported by the HomeFi of 3out of 5. Those with better signal strength should expect average speeds of around 15Mbps (1.875MB/sec), which is around the national average for UK fixed-line broadband speeds.

The most obvious aspect of the design is the status lights on the front, which cover (from left to right) power, network mode, Wi-Fi/WPS status, Ethernet status, and mobile network strength. They give you an easy way to see the status of your HomeFi at a glance, based on the colour of the lights or whether they’re blinking. That’s far less than most traditional broadband services (at least once you factor in line rental, which isn’t needed here). The B311-221 supports the establishment and maintenance of three APNs. These three APN connections isolate data, voice, and remote management services on an operator's network. It’s not the only such device though, nor is it the only one sold by Three, so is it the right option for you? DesignThe Wi-Fi indicator flashes slowly when the router detects a HiLink device. Press the WPS button to connect the HiLink device to the router's Wi-Fi. HomeFi enables you to connect up to 32 devices simultaneously at a distance of up to 250 metres over WiFi, so unless you have the smartest of smart homes or live in a mansion, you’ll probably be able to get everything online. Having said that, the likes of the Three 4G Hub(B535)and Huawei AI Cube both allow up to 64 simultaneous connections, so for peace of mind they might be a better choice. Of course, if you don’t want to be tied in for 24 months there are other options too, including 12-month and 1-month plans. Alternatives The Huawei B311-221 is a tabletop router made of plastic that supports various network protocols, including DHCP, ICMP, IPv6, L2TP, NAT, and PPTP. It has an Ethernet WAN port and a SIM card slot, allowing you to connect to the internet via wired or wireless connections. Additionally, it is compatible with 3G/4G USB modems. The router has LAN, Power, Status, and WLAN LED indicators that show the device's connections and status. It also has an on/off switch for easy power control.

The B311-221 supports L2TP/PPTP/IPsec VPN pass-through for the LAN side device. The LAN side device can create a VPN tunnel to the VPN server. Web-based management: You can configure the B311-221 and modify and view the configuration of the B311-221.It’s worth noting also that there’s only one Ethernet port, so if you want wired connections to more than one device then you’ll have to get anEthernet hub. This is another way in which it trails behind the Three 4G Hub(B535), as that device has four Ethernet ports. The B311-221 supports local configuration through the Web UI. You can perform device management and network configuration to ensure normal and stable performance. HUAWEI SmartHome APP The B311-221 supports Operator maintenance through the TR-069. Operator remote manages the CPE software update/parameters configuration via TR-069. If you need any assistance we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What people are saying about WorldSIM Supports up to two HiLink devices to connect to B311-221 through the WPS/Hi button to create an expanded network.
