ZTE U50: Small but with Pro Connectivity
Many are looking for exactly this: A small 5G router for the pocket that still offers the option to connect an external antenna in a camper or holiday home when reception is poor.
The ZTE U50 delivers exactly that. Hidden under a flap on the side are two TS9 sockets. This is a huge advantage over many competitor products in the "budget class," which are often completely sealed.
WiFi 6 and 5G Performance
Technically, this little device doesn't have to hide. It uses modern WiFi 6 technology (AX1800) to truly pass the high 5G data rates on to your laptop or tablet. Up to 32 devices can connect simultaneously – perfect for teams or the family.
Reduced to the Essentials
To keep the price attractive and the housing robust, the U50 foregoes a colorful touchscreen (like on the more expensive MU5001) and a LAN port.
Instead, clear LEDs inform you about signal strength and battery. Operation is done once via app or web interface – after that, it just runs. "Plug, Play & Connect".
