## Description

huaCtrl is a dedicated Chrome extension designed to help you manage your Huawei router conveniently. With huaCtrl, you can easily check your router's signal strength, view data usage, and access other vital router information directly from your browser.

Additionally, the extension offers a built-in speed test feature to help you verify your internet connection speed with ease. Originally tested on the Huawei B525 model, huaCtrl is compatible with most Huawei Hi-Link LTE routers that offer admin access. Note that it does not support mobile routers with batteries or routers managed by your ISP, such as some B310 models.

## Review summary

Users appreciate huaCtrl for enabling band locking and improving Huawei router performance, features lacking in default Huawei software. The app helps optimize connections by choosing better frequency bands and towers. However, many are frustrated by the removal of key features from the free version, forcing paid upgrades, which are often seen as overpriced. Usability issues like unclear login feedback and bugs reduce reliability. Additionally, users report poor developer communication and lack of support. Despite these cons, the app remains valuable for managing Huawei router bands and improving connectivity.

### Pros

- Effectively allows users to lock frequency bands to optimize Huawei router performance.
- Works well in helping users find better signal strength and improve internet speed by selecting better bands.
- Provides functionality not available in the standard Huawei interface, such as band locking and SMS viewing in pro version.
- User interface improvements in the pro version make it nicer and more user-friendly.
- Helps users address issues of slow connections by switching to better towers or bands.

### Cons

- Removal of critical free version features like band locking frustrates users and forces payment for basic functions.
- High cost of the pro version, considered overpriced by many users, especially when features were removed from free version.
- Interface issues such as lack of clear login status and no feedback after saving settings lead to user confusion.
- Bug issues like restart button not working reliably and inability to switch to certain bands, such as Band 32, are reported.
- Poor developer communication and support, with some users feeling ignored or treated rudely after complaints.
