Cheap, nasty, and not to be trusted.
I bought a Huawei router off of Amazon less than six months ago, and it has completely died already. And even when it was working, the signal seemed not only to come and go at random, but sometimes my internet speed was measured in single kilobytes per second. Computers and the web were faster than that in the 80's! . While i paid around £75 for it, they are now going for £110, so the fact that it has been outlasted and out performed by an internet dongle (from ZTE) that only cost me £30 is outrageous. . But the very worst thing is this, someone over on Reddit noticed something up with his router (a different, but very similar model) and decided to do some digging. He found out that it was reporting his tech usage (what devices he has, what websites he visits, etc) back to a known data harvesting company in the far east. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but since then this has been confirmed, though they have tried to pass it off as ''a glitch'' in some hardware. . Believe that last part at your own risk. .
