Best deal for 3 mobile broadband WiFi router

    I'm getting rid of landline/broadband and want to replace it with a good mobile broadband WiFi router. I was looking at the 3 Huawei B315 (http://www.three.ie/online/data/prepay/huawei-b315/?src=p) which is €140.

    I want to use 3 so it would either be this one or an unlocked router. Ideally we need something for 5 devices, moderate speed (50MB would be fine), must have ethernet port, signal throughout small house.

    Are there other WiFi routers I should be looking at?

    Ahahaaha. Haha, good one.

    On mobile you're lucky if you're getting 10Mb at peak times. Mobile cannot replace fixed line, especially not for 5 users. Rethink your plan.

    We had a mobile phone on 3 and it regularly speedtested 25+ MB. Will it be slower with a router?

    I should have been clearer about the number of devices: 2 users with 5 devices connected in total, not all used at once.

    Try looking for used ones on Adverts.ie.
    I use on Huawei B593s on 3's 4G network. I get 44 down consistently using Ethernet. I get about 20 to 25 down on my laptop over WiFi.
    I get about 3/5 bars signal on the router.
