The Three 4G Hub (ZTE MF286D) is Three’s best 4G home broadband router at the time of writing and one of the best you’ll find on any network.
There are a number of reasons for that, but it basically comes down to the core specs. For example, this can get up to 64 devices connected to the internet at once, while many rivals top out at 32 or even fewer.
It can also get them connected fast, as while many 4G home broadband boxes are Cat 6 devices, this is Cat 12/13, meaning it supports download speeds of up to 600Mbps and upload speeds of up to 150Mbps.
It also has four ethernet ports for wired connections, which again, is way more than most rivals, plus there are two sockets for external antennas, in case you need a signal boost. And the it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands.
Beyond all that it also has all the same advantages as other 4G home broadband routers, including quick plug and play setup with no engineer visits, no need for a landline, and the ability to easily move the router to a new place, as you can simply unplug it, take it with you and plug it back in to bring instant connectivity.
So if you want the best that 4G home broadband has to offer, the Three 4G Hub is it.
