Acer Connect M6E 1GB

I bought a device to use in my mobile home to watch Netflix and browse the internet on my tablet. I specifically chose this device because it was the only MiFi router with eSIM support. It took some fiddling around initially to configure the eSIM. This router comes with a Simo eSIM by default.

Since I had purchased a Digi eSIM (recommended), I wanted to configure it. However, the pre-installed firmware doesn't support an additional or different eSIM; for that, you have to download a newer firmware. This was a bit tricky, since you already need an internet connection. According to the manual, you can connect to a Wi-Fi network, but I wasn't successful. I temporarily removed a SIM from my phone and inserted it, and then an option to connect to a Wi-Fi network appeared. Once you've connected to your own Wi-Fi network and established an internet connection, you can download the new firmware. After the system is updated and restarted, you'll be given the option to add an eSIM. I entered my Digi card number (even though the system wasn't listed as 'supported'), activated it, and waited a bit (I think I'd also deactivated the system to speed up the process). I was able to connect to the Digi network. I tested it this weekend, and everything seemed to work smoothly. I could watch Netflix without any hiccups (FHD). I'll continue testing later this year to see if coverage is good abroad.

For now, I'm extremely satisfied. The price/quality ratio is definitely excellent, and eSIM support is definitely a plus. Hopefully, other brands will offer this support in the future.

Complies with the given specifications

Works perfectly, excellent connectivity, and effortlessly combines tethering and Wi-Fi. Highly recommended. I now have two units in use. Definitely buy the version without SIMO credits, as these are only valid in Europe, and you use your standard SIM card there, including data roaming.
