A wireless modem is a device used to connect computers and other compatible devices to the internet without having to use a physical cable connection. Huawei is a multinational telecommunications community that produces a variety of products including their own wireless modems. Huawei’s Mobile Wi-Fi app allows you to view your Internet connection from the mobile Wi-Fi device and to manage it. It has the same basic configurations that you can access from a web browser using the device’s configuration IP address. The app offers easy access to smart battery protection and timely data traffic reminder.
