For the money I bought it for (60€) and for the use I want it for (30-40 days a year in the village), it is very honest! I have put a Vodafone card in it and I have connected a smart TV with eon for football and 2 mobile phones on it!
Excellent router for the price. I couldn't find many details, but now that I have it, I will mention a few things in case it helps someone. First, it is CAT6 4G+, so theoretically 300mbps. In my area, with full signal, I have reached 80Mbps, but usually it gets about 50-60. I have also tried a much more expensive D-Link CAT6 with almost the same speed. The package includes two removable antennas. The LAN ports have gigabit speed. The phone ports are actually VOIP, and I have successfully added my Modulus VOIP number. The software is simple with limited features (don't expect Fritzbox-type settings). The SIM slot accepts a full-size SIM card, so be aware that if you have a smaller SIM, you will need an adapter. The front LEDs are blue and not annoyingly bright. I think for the price of around 70 euros, this is definitely the best available router. Most 4G+ routers are at least 100 euros and do not have VOIP support.
Just received, easy installation, easy menu. As soon as you open the box, insert the sim card, enter the IP of your router (192.168.0.1), it asks for a password which is "admin". Then it tells you that the sim card is not connected because you haven't entered the sim pin code. Enter the code and I advise you to go straight to the settings and disable the pin code, because if for any reason (e.g. power outage) the router restarts and if you have it in a rented house, it will not start working again because it will ask for the pin code and you won't be there to configure it and it will be a hassle. It reached a speed of 80mbps with a full signal on Cosmote. However, I believe that 110€ is too much. It should have been around 60-80€. That's why everyone buys tp-link, because it has a much lower price. In terms of build quality, it is a simple plastic of average quality, the charger is not white like in the pictures but black and of average quality.

Okay, in one year it went from 110€ to 55€. Are you kidding us, ZTE?? You just lost 4 stars. If we are going to buy products at prices like 110€ and in 10 months it costs 50€, it's completely pointless.
One of the best and most reliable 4G LTE CPEs in the Greek market. I have it in my village with prepaid Cosmote, so whenever I go there, I am extremely happy.
