Presentation

The Novatel Wireless 2352 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot provides a truly mobile solution for those looking to get an internet connection while on the go. It uses your SIM card to connect up to five WiFi enabled devices to the internet. Novatel Wireless presents the MiFi 2352 in a nice, small, black package with a USB connection, power cable for European adaptors, battery and a small instruction guide.


First Impressions

Everything necessary is in the box, including the adapter. The black presentation makes it look cool and sleek. The instructions aren’t too technical and in basic English. Any person should be able to place their SIM card and battery inside the device. The only button on the device is an on/off switch. Simply plug the USB into a computer and wait for a charge. When it’s fully charged you can use your MiFi 2352.

Using the MiFi 2352

We tested the device using Windows 7 OS. It’s a simpler way of dealing with internet connections. The MiFi 2352 came up and we were connected after passing some solid security features. It’s configured with a 128-bit WEP encryption. The password to use the device is located on the inside of the battery cover. You’ll know when you’re connected – a blue WiFi signal appears and flashes on the MiFi 2352. The LED indicator shows the connection status: violet for HSP, green for GPRS/EDGE and other connections. The USB connection allows for only one device to be connected to the internet and Mobilink software must be downloaded to enjoy this feature. The Mobilink software is a great help to MiFi 2352 users. It shows how long you’ve been connected, data transfer numbers and signal strength.

Signal Quality and Areas Covered

When users put the unit next to the laptop, they got all five bars. When they got about 20 feet away from the device, it started to change from two to four bars. The connection stayed reliable throughout the testing. The MiFi 2352 works tremendously well because users aren’t limited by a specific operator. It should work with any 3G SIM card.

Results
The Novatel Wireless MiFi 2352 is a great device, efficient and well worth the price. It’s sexy black design gives its users a simple wireless internet connection in their pocket.
