The pocket-sized and cobblestone-designed TP-LINK M5350 (also named “Pebble”) will help you stay connected wherever you go. With a built-in 3G modem, you can easily set up your own Wi-Fi hotspot via a 3G SIM card inside the device. The M5350 is capable of providing a 3G wireless connection with speeds of up to 21.6Mbps for downloads and 5.76Mbps for uploads. Best of all, you can share your connection with up to 10 people simultaneously. With its 2000mAh internal battery, you can use this handy buddy for 7 to 10 hours, and you can charge it via a microUSB cable or a portable charger. The device’s working status—such as the battery and signal meter—is displayed on its OLED screen. The M5350 also supports HSPA+ 3G broadband connections, allowing a fluid internet browsing experience. Aside from being a portable Wi- Fi, it can also double as an external USB memory stick since it has microSD slots that support up to 32GB of memory.
