Compare Huawei E8372 and E3372
Modems Huawei E8372 and Huawei E3372 have similar characteristics, but there are important differences. The E8372 supports 4G speeds up to 150 Mbps and has the capability to connect an external antenna, which can improve signal quality. While the E3372 also supports 4G and has a similar speed, it differs in being more compact in size and weight (35 g compared to 40 g for the E8372). Users note that the E8372 is easier to install and configure, while the E3372 might offer a more stable connection in weak signal conditions. Both devices lack a built-in battery and operate via USB. The choice between them depends on your design and functionality preferences.

Glossary
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi generation and frequency bands over which the modem shares mobile internet. The 2.4 GHz frequency provides greater range and penetrates walls better, 5 GHz usually offers higher speeds and less interference, while 6 GHz provides additional free channels but requires compatible devices and penetrates obstacles less effectively. At the same time, newer Wi-Fi does not speed up the mobile network itself: the final speed also depends on the modem’s capabilities, the operator’s coverage, and the connected equipment.
— Wi-Fi 3 (802.11g). An outdated standard operating in the 2.4 GHz band with a theoretical speed of up to 54 Mbps. Suitable for basic internet access, but it can noticeably limit the speed of a modern LTE connection.
— Wi-Fi 4 (2.4 GHz). A widespread 802.11n standard with good range and broad compatibility. Suitable for everyday use, although the single 2.4 GHz band is more susceptible to interference and may limit the capabilities of fast LTE or 5G.
— Wi-Fi 5 (2.4 + 5 GHz). A dual-band option that allows 2.4 GHz to be used for better coverage or 5 GHz for higher speeds and less congested spectrum. This is a balanced solution for home use, travel, and connecting multiple devices simultaneously.
— Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 + 5 GHz). A modern 802.11ax standard that distributes traffic among connected devices more efficiently and operates...more stably under load. Well suited for sharing fast LTE or 5G with several smartphones, laptops, and other equipment.
— Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz). A version of Wi-Fi 6 operating exclusively on the 2.4 GHz frequency. It combines modern traffic management mechanisms with good coverage range, but falls short of dual-band models in speed and resistance to interference.
— Wi-Fi 6E (2.4 + 5 + 6 GHz). A tri-band evolution of Wi-Fi 6 with the additional 6 GHz frequency, where there is usually less interference and more free channels are available. The benefits of the new band are realized only with compatible equipment, while other devices connect via 2.4 or 5 GHz.
— Wi-Fi 7 (2.4 + 5 GHz). The latest generation of wireless communication without support for the 6 GHz band. It provides more efficient data transmission and can use several bands simultaneously, but does not support the widest 320 MHz channels available to tri-band models.
— Wi-Fi 7 (2.4 + 5 + 6 GHz). A tri-band version of Wi-Fi 7 designed for maximum throughput and minimal latency. When supported by the modem and connected device, it can use several bands simultaneously and channels up to 320 MHz wide in the 6 GHz frequency.
— Wi-Fi 3 (802.11g). An outdated standard operating in the 2.4 GHz band with a theoretical speed of up to 54 Mbps. Suitable for basic internet access, but it can noticeably limit the speed of a modern LTE connection.

Connected devices, up to
The largest number of devices that can be simultaneously connected to the modem via Wi-Fi (see "Connection").
The presence of this limitation is due to the fact that processing network requests from several devices at once requires a fairly large amount of computing resources, and there are not so many of them in miniature electronics like wireless modems. However, even inexpensive models can support about 5 – 6 devices, which is more than enough for most cases; and in more advanced modems, this number can reach 10.
