Globe Telecom released a new product called Globe Home Prepaid WiFi a few months ago. It’s basically an LTE WiFi router that comes bundled with a Globe prepaid SIM card.
We’ve been using the device for about a month now so we’ve pretty much had a good grasp of its purpose and value. This is actually the 3rd model we bought in the past 3 months (one in the office, another in our video studio and one in my condo).
Device
The modem is a small, white plastic router which is about 6 by 6 inches in size and about an inch thick with the base slightly thicker in order for it to stand upright.
We’re not sure who manufactured the device (not Huawei, ZTE or Zyxel) actually and Globe merely attached a logo sticker in front and instruction manual at the back. (Update: We’ve been told by the supplier that the manufacturer is the Shanghai Boost Even Technology Co.)
Up at the front are LED lights for power, internet, WiFi, LAN and cellular signal. There’s a WPS/Restore switch up top along the ventilation grills.
At the back are the power port, the single LAN port, an NTC sticker and the “How to” guide for reloading and surfing promos you can subscribe to. The mobile number is also written there so you don’t have to remember it.
The prepaid SIM card is already inserted in the tray at the bottom of the device with a “Do not tamper” sticker. Globe claims you can’t just put any other SIM card in there as the device has been configured to work with the SIM it came with.
Features and Administration
Administration and control of the WiFi router can be done via the browser of any device connected to the router. The admin page is accessible via the local IP (192.168.1.1) and the default username and password (admin/admin) are indicated in the sticker at the bottom of the device.
Once logged in, all the settings are already pre-configured. The main page will show the status of the cellular connection (and signal strength), router status/information and network information. You don’t need to touch anything here are everything is all set up for you.
The only section that you will have to regularly use would be the built-in SMS feature. this is where you send out text messages to subscribe to GOSURF and SURPERSURF promos.
The kit comes with 10GB of data allocation that lasts for 7 days from the day of activation. After that, you can just reload it and subscribe to specific Globe GoSurf promos. This is what Globe is pushing but they never say that you can actually also subscribe to SuperSurf promos (SUPERSURF 50 for 1 day, SUPERSURF 120 for 3 days and SUPERSURF200 for 5 days). Of course, it is limited (1GB per day) by Globe’s FUP for prepaid users.
Speed and Coverage
Since this is still a wireless connection, the speed is very dependent on your location and the time fo the day. It could be faster at certain times of the day due to the peak hours of network usage. This is the same as with your mobile internet connection.
Globe Prepaid Home WiFi (left) vs. Globe Postpaid on LG G6 (right). Testing was done in the same location in the same time frame.
During our 1 month of testing, we’ve only used it in Taguig City, Makati City, and Pasay City. We have not had a chance to take it outside Metro Manila. In the locations that we’ve tested it, the results varied from 4Mbps all the way to 23Mbps.
We noticed that adjusting the placement of the LTE router within the house (or even the mere repositioning) would also yield different results.
Globe also claims the WiFi signal strength is 50% better than typical mobile WiFi devices and this is generally true since pocket WiFi tends to reduce WiFi strength to conserve battery life. Fortunately, the device does support the 700MHz (Band 28) LTE frequency.
Cost
As for cost implications, the mobile internet that’s offered via Globe Home Prepaid WiFi is more expensive compared to the bandwidth you are paying if you are on DSL or fiber.
The device itself can be had from any Globe Business Centers for Php1,999 and it comes with 10GB free data upon activation.
I have a vDSL connection at home and while the download speed is fairly good (10Mbps), the upload speed leaves a lot to be desired. In some cases where I needed to upload a huge video on YouTube (for the 7-9 minute full HD video reviews), I resort to a different connection. Normally, my mobile internet is faster and can go between 10 – 15Mbps on a normal day. But that would mean I have to leave my smartphone as a mobile hotspot and home I don’t receive any phone calls during the session (LTE drops when you receive calls).
The pricing structure for the Globe Home WiFi is basically the same as mobile prepaid plans. There’s a flat rate of Php5 per 15 minutes if you do not subscribe to any GoSurf or SuperSurf promos. The GoSurf pricing scheme might be good if your activity is time-bound, like downloading a large file, streaming videos or you just want to work for a specific number of hours without worrying about how much data has been consumed. This option is also better if there are several devices or users connecting to the router.
SuperSurf may be a good alternative option if you want to stretch the usage from an entire day to several days (maximum of SuperSurf200) with light usage.
Conclusion
The Globe Prepaid Home WiFi is not meant to be the primary source of internet at home or in the office. What it offers is a cost-effective, portable, and easily configurable ad-hoc internet connection during emergencies (when you main wired internet is down or slow).
What we find it very useful is for fast upload speeds and, though not everyone is in the habit of uploading gigabytes of content online, our line of work here calls for it very often (Dropbox syncing of raw photos and videos, uploading to YouTube of finished 1080p video reviews).
In a way, the device is a reasonable alternative to the pocket WiFi since it’s more robust and affordable. There are other similar LTE WiFi devices out there (made by Huawei and ZTE) but this one is fairly affordable.
What we liked about it:
- Flexible usage allowance
- Quick and easy to use
- Affordable device
- No lock-in period
What we did not like:
- No unlimited data option
- Does not support external antenna
700 pesos FOR ALMOST 200Kms in ROBLOX
I think I never got to enjoy the 50gb free, because in their website instructions, to avail the 50gb free, I should be able to register in globeone within 7 days BUT when I tried registering, for several days, registration always failed without any reason or cause stated. I brought the unit back to the globe center only to be told that they can do nothing and to simply try again after several days. Indeed, after several days (already passed the 7 days registration limit) I was able to register but only to realize that the 50gb was already availed (and this should be on top of the 10gb free when buying the unit). I’m also a programmer and what happened made me realize that the 50gb was probably used by the globe seller, using his/her number as nominated number rather than my number. This is a possible system loophole that globe should look into. In summary, I’m very disappointed in the quality of after their after sales services, just like many of their customers.
Paano sir hind na kami makalog in sir kc sir ilang beses na kmi napindot ung 4 digit pin at na bago bago na ITO sir papalitan sana sir ung

I bought when 2 days ago.
Before, i was using my old phone as wifi hotspot and use globe for browsing the internet but i dont want to always check if its lowbat si i decided to buy this and was disappointed because speed was slower compared to the wifi hotspot from my old vivo phone.
Thank you for this helpful review!
(After waiting many hours to get my FACTS posted and seem to be rejected because I post FACTS, I upload my comment again. This is about facts people! No one likes facts, but I post them anyway)
So I did some extensive testing in Irisan, Baguio.
Between 00:00 and 5:00 AM the speed goes up by the hour.
It peaks around 5AM at 16 Mbps down and 3 Mbps Up
Then it goes down like a brick. At 5:30 I’m already down to 2 Mbps and 2Mbps
Then it goes down further after this drop. Between 6 AM in the morning and 10 PM
in the evening the speed varies between 0 Mbps and 0.5 Mbps
The peak of 0.5Mbps is rare, some times of the day for 5-10 minutes you get that.
Most of the time it’s around 0.01Mbps with occasionally for 10-15 minutes a 0.00Mbps (meaning the connection is there, the light is blue, all the 5 bars on the web-interface of the unit are lit, but there’s simply no data transmission.
Basically between 6 AM and 10 PM you can’t use it.
You can only use it between 10 PM and 6 AM really.
My values are:
LTE
RSRQ -9dB
RSRP -95dBm
RSSI -71dBm
SINR 11dB
PhysCellId 187
CELL ID 0335975 – 043 (this sometimes changes to 033 or 75, has no effect on the speed though)
So if you want to use it between 10 PM and 6 AM, go ahead, you can!
If you want to use it between 6 AM and 10 PM, I strongly recommend burning the 1000 pesos bills of your wallet, that’s less waste of money.
A total waste of money. It’s connection is very unstable. You can rarely get good connection and most of the day, it’s bad. The modem shows full signal strength, but it will only give you a false hope and break your heart when you can’t connect. DON’T BUY IT!
I can’t load my Home globe prepaid wifi
Don’t Buy! I bought the prepaid Wifi that is supposed to be fast than the data on my Globe cell phone, well guess what, it’s 4 times slower and so is actually unusesable. I returned and after spending an hour and them and I both talking on the phone to customer service they finally gave me another. We tested both in the store and proved that neither worked. My cell phone was getting 45mbps and the best the wif fi unit got was 5. And then after they now know both of them don’t work and probably none of them work, they still won’t refund my money and will continue to rip people off and keep selling units that they know don’t work. Globe company is probably making millions while ripping everyone off.
wlang kwenta globe hina ng signal scammer
bulok naman pang isahan lng pla tong wifi na to eh 4g nman sa amin saka mas mlakas pa data bat ganun shet
They should not sell this on provinces on provinces. Especially here at my town san antonio nueva ecija. More people here are kinda force to buy these kinds of home internet devices hoping to have a good internet connection, because here there are only few slots for postpaid internet line. So not everybody can actually have a fast internet connection. But having these things are like same when you are using your mobile data. Same speed. If your location doesn’t have lte coverage the device can’t force to allocate lte. It only gives you a 3g or 2g speed. Is there any way to force it to find lte only frequency? I mean i can force lte to my phone even if the lte signal is not strong but even with 1 signal of lte would be enough to have a good experience sufing the net even play games. Does anyone knows how tonforce lte this device?
4g signal namin dito Malate pero 4 kbps lang ang speed ni Globe and nasa 27flr pa kami with mimo antenna but still 4 kbps lang sya pina open line ko and put Smart sim and now the speed is 40 mbps
Natry nyu na po ba magpalit ng channel?
hello abe, i have a question.. should i need to buy a modem first before buying this globe at home prepaid wifi router???
Hello po! I need help.
I’m planning to get an antenna for it, a type that you can put outside then connect to the router. But the antenna is a SMA male connector. Where can I connect it to the device? It doesn’t have an existing antenna kasi…. I want to open the back but I’m afraid. :'( Help!
How is this compared to their new one? The black 3 in 1.
DISPOSABLE MODEM. NO SERVICE CENTERS. FEBRUARY LANG ANG UNIT. MARCH SIRA NA AGAD. AT ACCORDING SA GLOBE STORE NILA SAKIT DAW YAN NG MODEM NILA.
Is the globe at home broadband plans (e.g. 20mbps 600GB DATA CAP for 1699/mo.) applicable for this router?
Lanja globe , it is the waste Sim and waste network that I have seen and never seen this type or worst network in my life in any country the one who invented globe is a great mother fucker lanja koduku kuthana madda kojja lanja koduku vaadu dhengipoothaadu kojja naayaala kojjalanja koduku vaadu pedha kojja na modaa??????

i want to know the meaning of every symbol/indicators from the power button to the right. can someone help me identify?
Hello po ask ko lang Kung yung home internet po na modem yung sim niya po ba pwding isalpak at gamitin sa poket wifi need kolang po ng sagot kc everytime na gusto ko pong magwork sa ibang lugar problema ko yung wifi po kc Di po magagamit sa bahay Lang..
minsan kelangan ulit-ulitin ON and OFF. kasi kahit malakas ang signal, after 10 minutes RED pa din. 2weeks ago ko lang binili to tas ganun na.
Globe home WiFi is the worst thing ever half the time I can get on the Internet and other half of the time I cannot. This is a big company and it’s a shame that this company sucks like that. The Internet is like they are in the dark days when Internet just started remember When you used your phone to dial into the company just to get 48k dialup speed. Globe telecom is worse than that The sad part is there is no other company out there to challenge them beside smart Communications so they really don’t have a need to upgrade their services To bring you a quality Internet speed like the rest of the world. My advice is to go with smart communication and to be honest They are not that good either but they’re better than Globe Telecom. So if you want to send an email to someone it would get there faster if you tape a note on to a pigeon than waiting on Globe Telecom to connect.
Magisip-isip kayo kung balak nyo bumili nito bec there are a lot of disadvantages na hindi nyo alam tungkol sa home prepaid modem na ito. First, this is a disposable unit. Swerte ng umabot sa inyo ito ng 1 yr at masisira rin. Sa iba 2 months wala na hindi na maka connect. Second, limited ang surfing usage nyo dito. Loading it 599 pesos maximum will only give you 15GB cap so it does not matter kung ano pang promo gamitin mo, still, 15GB pa rin ang allotted sayo. Kung 3 or more kayong gagamit sa bahay at may nag Youtube pa, baka 2 days ubos na ang 15GB na yan. Paano pa kaya pag ginamit mo sa video streaming or gaming? Third, strong signal may only be availed for days and after that magkakaproblema na – red light. That means it’s either the network or the modem itself gone bad. And lastly, hindi kayo matutulungan ng globe customer service dito bec nakafocus lang sila sa mga postpaid nila. Kaya kung may budget din lang kayo, mag broadband postpaid na lang kayo at malalaking cap pa ang inooffer ng globe. Ours is 1,299 a month for 150GB per month with 10mbps though up to ave 7mbps lang nakukuha namin. No installation fee. Ask them kung anong options meron sila depende sa gamit nyo for postpaid. Ang problema nga lang pag ang location nyo ay unserviceable, d kayo makakabitan nito kasi iaasses pa ng globe yan. However, i think mas pinupush ngayon ng globe ang home prepaid na yan kasi nga mas kumikita ang company nila sa load ka ng load and selling you disposable modem units na 1 yr lang ang warranty. So my advice is you look for other net service provider jan sa location nyo na mas dependable at tatagal unlike this home prepaid na ito pag unserviceable location nyo for postpaid. Once you buy this, there’s no coming back. Speaking for my friends’ experience and checking on reviews, these are the infos i got. So speak about your exp if you want to share it too.
Guys I really need your help now for I badly forgot my wifi password..How to recover it guys I tried already the password written in the bottom area but still it womt work..pls. Help me.thanks
Sir sasagap kaya to ng signal samin. Pocket wifi gamit ko dito samin mysignal. Mas malakas ba ito sumagap ng signal kysa s pocket wifi
Ok ky ito im planing to apply on line teaching and plan ko gumamit nito…
Pwede po ba sa smart tv ang globe home prepaid?
I suggest dont buy this one, I have it, 1st day used, its really good, the signal bar is full, yes its really fast even inside or out in your home but after 2 months used, the signal bar maintain 1 bar sometimes nothing the signal became really weak and also you cant redeem your rewards point even in globe rewards app, its wasting money and time.
how many devices can connect to the globe wifi at the same time?
5 devices as per globe website.
can i subscribe to supersurf 999 using this?
Bakit po hindi maproseso ung register ko ng gotscombo tama naman po register ko please pakitulong naman po

hi! can i subscribe supersurf 999 using this?
Disposable. Masisira after ilang months lang.
Nasira yung akin after ilang buwan lang. Red na yung light. Pahirapan sa support. Ang masakit pa nakakapagload kapa sa app pero mismong modem nakared light na. Ang saklap bes kakaload lang nasira na. Hindi nagamit hanggat nagexpire nalang ang load. Puputi mata mo kakatawag sa support nila. Wala din sasagot sayo ng maayos. Kuha kayo kung gusto niyo ng sakit ng ulo.
Pwede bang gamitin to as Wifi extender? Katulad ng Globe LTE pocket Wifi?
Useless. After a couple of weeks using the device, it does not detect signal anymore. Internet light is RED! Resetting the modem to defaults does not help. So frustrating. Don’t get scammed. It’s useless and disposable!
i cant connect to my globe at hime wifi after i change the SSID.. what will i do?

How to register this home prepaid wifi using another simcard?
How to retrieve password on 192.168.1.1 cause i have forgot after changing
GOTSCOMBODD ? Working
I topped up the sim card number of the unit itself, how would i be able to subscribe using that number? I was not informed. They told me it will be straight at the app! Would there be an option to use the load of that number, not my phone’s prepaid number?
There is a manual guide inside..try to read and understand..all your questions are on there to answer..
Im only using Fb lite and messngr lite. and i dont posts. just scrolling down and up.. then 2-3 hrs on video call using google duo.. i registered on their 15 gb promo yesterday.. now i only have 12gb.. Ang dali naman nyang mag consume ng data..
baka may naka connect sayo na di mo alam, change your password from the default admin.
How to register prepaid home wifi thrue sms.please help
Right now, you’ll have to use another sim card in order to do register for a Homesurf 15. It will consume the other sim card’s load so watch out for that.
is it possible that i connect a wifi camera to the device?
where is the sim???
under the router and is covered by seals :)
Good day. I log in at globe at home app and put the prepaid wifi no. but said that my prepaid wifi no. is invalid. Please help.
I cannot log in because the username and password indicated is said to be invalid. I had many attempts but still didn’t work. Help please.
The default username and password for the Home Wifi’s browser address is “admin” “admin”. As for the router, you can check out at the bottom of your router to see the default password.
May I ask if this will work in a “3G only” area where LTE signal is NOT avaialble?
Pwede gotscombodd?
I disable the dhcp server then i unplug it.
When I’m ready to use it again. It does not working what should i do?
Hi,
Does the device work with gosakto status? Would appreciate your response.
Thank you very much!
IN what area are you using that Wi-fi?
How about the Speed of 3G?
here at Mindanao, but sad there is no 4G. Only 3G.
I am outside Davao.
Your ping ms was good really good for facebook & online games.
10-15mbps is great when have good signal.
Maximum of Supersurf200? So that means I WON’T be able to subscribe to Supersurf999? I plan to use this as a backup connection for mobile work and would rather not have to load and subscribe to it every week. Is the Supersurf200 maximum for sure?
hi, bakit di po sya maregister on surfpromos? :( pls response. asap.
I bought my Home Wifi last week amd I’m on my last day of the free 10 gb that came with it. I have a homebased job that uses a virtual office which typically uses a lot of data. Will I be able to use the gotscombodd90 here? 1gb is technically not enough for me to last the day. Thanks in advance.
We have not tried but you can try if it works. Otherwise, we use SuperSurf and GoSurf.
Yugatech please edit your above post, globe will not allow the usage of supersurf promo with this device only gosurf. Iam very disappointed with device because of this. Will resell it, and just use my usual phone for wifi hotspot, atleast i can use supersurf on my phone
Hi, I would like to ask if after the 7days 10gb free data and you load it with a supersurf200 or GOSurf, are there a cup per day? Because I did buy an LTE sim from globe and every-time I registered a SuperSurf 200 they have 1GB cup per day, and once you’ve got that limit you cannot use it anymore and you have to wait again for another day.
I resold mine and bought an “open-line” B315 modem from Lazada. Better alternative. Then use “GOTSCOMBODD90” promo, 2GB for 7 days and no capping.
Pwede po ba palitan sim nito ng other globe sim? Baka kasi hindi pwede yung gosakto promos e
Its too bad that we din get any response since 1 month from the globe office other than please wait maam. The wifi is down from the 3rd day of installation. Its showing sign in..
Globe’s support group is almost useless. :'(
Sir, have you tried using the primary and secondary DNS under Home Network after logging in to 192.168.1 1? Mine is not working when I type in DNS values from Norton connectsafe family nor the OpenDNS family. However, when I use Globe Tattoo, the DNS works by blocking sites. Do you have the same experience with this wifi prepaid broadband device?
Pwde ba magload nang gotscombo? which do you prefer smart prepaid lte o ito?
I tried registering to gotscombodd90 but Globe’s system wouldn’t allow me. Madami siguro nagregister.
gumagana kaya ang SUPERSURF ? TIA
Technically, gumagana dapat.
sir pinalitan ko po ang admin pass pagkatapos di na sya mapasok paano kami makaka pag register sa globe ng promo nila paano po i restore sa factory setting.slamat po sa tulong
Can I connect this to my regularwifi router?
Via LAN bridge I think
Sabi pwd sa supersurf50 bat ung sa amin ayaw mg avail ng supersurf50
Dual band po ba to? My iphone needs 5ghz band. Kc router namin 2.4 ghz lang kaya 3 meters away sa router wala ng signal masagap iphone 6 q dahil di compatible sa signal
Single band lang.
this device can work with postpaid plan sim?? .
Technically yes.
I tried it with a postpaid LTE sim that came from my Globe Home Broadband B315 modem. Hindi po gumagana kapag HSPA+ ang signal. Siguro kung post paid sim na pang phone, gagana yan. Pero kung galing sa postpaid LTE sim na naka-install sa B315 modems? Hindi yan gagana.
this device can work with postpaid plan sim??
May built in battery ba ito? Kung wala mas maganda pa rin ang pocket wifi.. pwede kahit saan. Yung pocket wifi pwede lagyan ng ibang sim ito hindi. Saka mas mura ang pocket wifi tanong tanong k lang sa mga kaibigan mo panigurado may nagbebenta nito.
Nope. It plugs into the power outlet.
Hello sir pwede po mag order ulit,kc po ung pinagorderan ko ng prepaid home wifi no response po, tnatawagan ko d sumasagot at no reply po, edna f. Pascua po ang nym ko
Bumili ako nyan globe home wifi sa laoag city 3000 kasama load sabi ng globe malakas daw at aabot ng 1 month PERO after 2 weeks ubos na ang load .So nagpunta ang ate ko sa laoag service center ng globe nagcomplain bkit ganun kadali.ETO ANG SAGOTTT! KASI DAW 8 GIGS LANG DAW YONG 1000 AT KUNG GAGAMITIN ANG U TUBE A MALAKAS DAW MAUBOS ANG LOAD e 3 lang nman ang gumagamit sa bahay ng wifi . 2 cp at isang tablet GRABE NAMAN YAN . PANG FACEBOOK LANG PALA .PANG TSISMIS LANG PALA ANG GAMIT NG NYAN WALANG KWENTA !!
I think you were misled. The usage is volume-based so it really depends on your usage behavior if it can last your entire family for a month or not.
Is that router has dmz setting? I badly need it for my online gaming, especially TEKKEN 7.
It has but it’s pretty useless, since PLDT blocked port-forwarding and it will NAT 3
Have you tried using GoSAKTO promos on this? Does it work?
can i connect to the wifi eventhough i’m not connected to the router?
Hi, how can we utilize the other internet promos, like for instance the 1day net promo or the supersurf 200? Are we just gonna load the device or have it logged inat the ip address and subscribe it?
Hi, Sir.
I believe that’s right.
Just like on our mobile phones, via e-load or call cards. Log-in then subscribe on a promo via GUI.
I’m curious if this particular device (or sim) allows the regular rate. The one without subscriptions.
I prefer the no subscription since I’m grabbing games from Steam or GOG.
If you don’t subscribe, you will be charged the regular rate.
Great, Sir Abe.
Thanks. I’d prefer that instead of GoSurf :D
“vDSL connection at home and while the download speed is fairly good (10Mbps), the upload speed leaves a lot to be desired.”
You may be on ADSL instead of VDSL. I’m on VDSL at home on 100 MBps Globe Broadband and I get 94 Mbps down/50 Mbps up.
max speed / model no. ?
Gagana po ba yan dito sa amin na hspa+ lng gumaganda kasi medyo bundok sa amin
May reset button sa taas ng device sa may WPS. Reset nyo yun then babalik yung dating credentials: admin admin yata yung username and password.
The unit works fine. Fast internet in both city and out of town locations.
Got mine last May 15. Got sms too that the free 10GB is only available to selected user. I send a compliant thru Glovbe’s twittwr account and got dm asking me details, etc. i think they’re trying to escalate the complain to their support group. I hope they reaaolve this. The free 10GB is their value proposition to the 1,999 cost of the unit.
Under “network mode” or “connection mode” were you able to change from 3G to LTE? or even lock it to 3G network. Just curious. Thanks.
Just got mine today cash on delivery 1999php. Free10GB is no longer available. 8080 Will reply promo for selected users only. Very unfair globe
Same here. Got mine last May 15 and got no free 10GB… got same sms.
Under “network mode” or “connection mode” were you able to change from 3G to LTE? or even lock it to 3G network. Just curious. Thanks.
What will happen if 3G lang ang signal (H+) then through the LAN port ikabit ko sya sa hub/switch serving 4 PCs? Pwede kaya pang Google at pang Facebook ng mga students dito sa aking munting comp shop?
Ginamit ko sa lan mabagal siya 1.5 mbps lng speed pero sa wireless 18 mbps Bulacan
Hi! Have you tried using other data promos like GOTSCOMBODD70 (1 GB/week) with this device? If you did, how did it go?
Up for this…. Kung gumagana ba ung gosakto promos like gotscombodd70…
Gamit ko Globe LTE Postalid ko dyan. Pinalitan ko un sim gumagana naman po although void na un warranty. Speed is blazing fast lalo dito sa area namin sa Bulacan.
Tips naman po dyan paano nyo ginawa yan. Sinubukan ko po kasi ilipat yun postpaid LTE sim, ayaw po gumana. PDP Connection Status: Disconnected. Then yun IPv4 DNS at Default Gateway numbers na parang mga IP addresses ay blangko. Ano po dapat gawin? Ano dapat i set?
Pano po tanggalin ung sim para mapalitan? i tried removing the sim cover pero ayaw.. do i have to force it out?to the point of destroying the cover? please reply thanks
Hi, gusto ko din sana gamitan ng postpaid LTE itong prepaid modem.. may iseset pa ba para gumana? If so, patulong naman po kung anong gagawin.. salamat
How about streaming netflix? Madali po ba maubos yung consumables?
All surf promo is dependent on the total gigabyte provided not necessarily number of days. Ours is a 2 user, moderate use that is consuming the 1 gig surf promo (supposedly for 3 days) that is used up by day 2.
Could you try playing some online games using this? Thanks!
Where’s the SRP?
No SuperSurf 1 month promo?
I’ll just wait for an openline unit of this, so I can use my Smart LTE sim on UNLISURF promo. smart’s unlisurf is still the best promo out there, no capping and no FUP.
But it will still depend on Smart’s LTE coverage in the area
“In a way, the device is a reasonable alternative to the pocket WiFi since it’s more robust and affordable. There are other similar LTE WiFi devices out there (made by Huawei and ZTE) but this one is fairly affordable.” Asan ang Price?
“The devixe itself can be had from any Globe Business Centers for Php1,999 and it comes with 10GB free data upon activation.”
typo error yung device.
Can you use your Globe postpaid sim card in this device? If yes, what is the price for unit only?
Kindly read again bro. The answer’s already up there.
My postpaid plan modem is not working in my room so I tried using my old prepaid modem. I inserted my postpaid sim into the prepaid modem and it works!!!
I have been using this device in my location at home & it’s really working for me. From my point of view Globe Prepaid Home wifi is the best one, among all. It simply have make my life so smooth and pain free.
The manufacturer/vendor is Shanghai Notion Information Technology CO.,LTD. See link: https://sc01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1HBRPOXXXXXauXVXXq6xXFXXXS.jpg
You may add that this is also subjected to FUP unlike the home DSL.
The manufacturer is SHANGHAI BOOST Technologies, ive checked the IMEI.
Sir Abe how much is the cost of of this prepaid home Wi-Fi?
Mas gusto ko yung sa Smart kasi may Flexitime sila.
will those combos (e.g. GOTSCOMBODD70) also work in this prepaid home wi-fi?
Yes
Hi. Pwede kaya ang Gosurf999 dito? Or lahat ng prepaid promo ay pwede? Salamat po.
All prepaid promos so far. :)
How Much is this? Didn’t see the price in the article…
Hi Abe! I’m considering buying this for my condo, but I wanted to ask if the 15 mins/5php rate of Globe also works for the device? Thanks! :D
Yes it does. Stated it in the review. :)
It was inially offered at 1499 with 5GB data in Feb, then it’s now 1999 with 10GB data.
with that admin interface. i say the manufacturer is evoluzn
If your planing to have a GLOBE internet provider at home,.better don’t, you will REGRET!!!i mean it, I am certain because i myself have a very weird expereince with GLOBE.
made in china, regardless, there is a lot of mis-information sloppy incompetent reviews about globe, 1st you need a globe sim-card to use there wi-fi? I tried my t-mobile samsung wifi app does NOT work! There sloppy webloading page does not accept usa credit cards! Even worse is that idiotic version of going to a obscured UNSECURED web address, globeathome.net this does NOT tell you your usage! These clumsy review websites probally globe employees, obvious there NOT telling the truth about everything and/or the glitches/problems that everyone has with globe period! My globe at home wifi hardware, sloppily called a modem or router, has to be a combination modem/router in order to magically connect to 5 seperate devices! Obviously you have to have a globe sim card android phone before it works, if it works, there is NO intelligent reviews or anyone actually telling the real facts or constant problems you have here in the philippines with globe and smart! MY globe at home prepaid wifi works good here in tunga leyte, only because the globe tower is 1 mile away, NO direct hardwiring here, everyone else has there globe hardware mounted on a stick or bar outside facing the tower
Hi, does globeathome wont work in areas with 3g signals only?
