Conclusion

 

From the Huawei 4G B315 Router and B310 specs, we can not see much difference except the interfaces on Ethernet port and phone port. They are both LTE to speed up to 150mbps and upload speed to 50mbps. If you do not mind the Ethernet ports in the router, both Huawei B310 and B315 are good to get a home or office router. But if you need Ethernet ports for terminals, you’d better check the specific model and its Ethernet ports in the model. We have to mention that the Huawei B315 external antennas could also be used with Huawei B310 as the external antenna because they have the same connectors.
