Final Review Of Cellular Router

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:02:47 +0000

SO this is my final review of the cellular routers that was provided to me by the awesome people at powerful signal.com. The last review (most recent) I was able to do some latency testing which I was unable to do before because my previous test was done to ensure the integrity of the data and consistency. The latency is usually for the market of gamers. Most gamers require a HIGH availablity from the router AND the network connection. If you dont have one then latency can be affected. With the technology still being new (aircards by carriers) the latency is slightly tough on fast paced games like your Quakes. The mobile router itself did a BANG UP job with a wireless LAN game we were playing. It was a bandwidth hog and the router took it like a champ. I even had someone else connect to the router to see if it would take on the gaming and normal surfing and it did with ease. Its a great little router for what it does and it can take on the big boys of the router industry. I love working with technology and I have to thank Powerful Signal again for letting me review and beat up the router to ensure that it meets your needs. Check out the video review below
thanks!

Review A: Cellular Router

I was just recently provided the chance to review cellular routers from powerfulsignal.com (THANK YOU POWERFULSIGNAL.COM!). I have a extensive background in networking and I will run some pretty off the wall tests on the mobile router to ensure that it will keep up with your extensive use of the router. I am in the process of running a full week of network activity on it (as in having it run ALL day with high network activity) to see if it can take the beating. I will be honest, I have never heard of the company until recently. However, I do have to say that it is some pretty stiff competition out there and, so far, have had the best equipment to date that I have worked with (oops, gave a little spoiler). I have a NexAira NexConnect 3G Broadband Router shown below:

A Standard Charge Plug?

According to many many sources, the industry is going to get a new standardized plug. Whats that!? Thats right, the phone companies actually came together to decide on a plug so that there isn’t 40 million car chargers in the market and you have to find your explicit one otherwise your stupid phone wont stupidly charge! They companies were Samsung, Motorola, Sony, LG, and Nokia. The standard is the Micro USB (its smaller than the mini USB that is on the major PDA’s out there). I am glad to see some conformity between the major players and I hope they realize that this will help consumers at the end.

Review: Nextlink Spider Bluetooth Headset

I was in the market for a Blue-tooth headset as I had previously stated in my other post so I decided to pick up two of these from Radio Shack. My initial concern was that it would play blue-tooth music through my xv6700. Unfortunately, it was not able to without a significant amount of skipping. I then tried to make a call and that worked well. The person on the other line heard me fine. I figured that it could be my blue-tooth stack so I updated it to another and it still didn’t work well. I was able to get another blue-tooth phone to test it and my first impression was decent quality. It was loud (and a bit off when it was super loud). The bass was decent but with the overall product of being a blue-tooth headphones and headset, i think its a good buy considering its price now ~50 bucks (as long as you are not a xv6700 user. If so, put this to the grave).

Darn babberies!

LOL babberies. My nephew used to say that instead of batteries and it was so cute! Now he is a bit nutty. I would like to see cell phones with a better battery life. I do use my xv6700 for music, videos, texting, and when I get a call to talk to someone. I still feel that I have a short battery life. I have done everything from auto stopping the radio to lowering the screen brightness. I think the only thing I am left with is under clocking it but that might be going a bit too far. I am currently at 6-10 hours through the day but if I am at home where my cellphone service is horrible at best, then I get even less. Ironically, I do less at home than when I am out. I think the radio and reconnecting to a tower has huge adverse affects to the battery.
