Can I get the EE firmware (giving an EE splash on the GUI) to download anywhere so I can change over? The device is positioned as a successor to the Huawei B618 and offers not only a very similar design but also comparable good equipment.

This conflict may not appear to anyone using other networks than EE but if you are struggling there are a number of posts which show how to display the hidden APN options and set up a new APN for EE which appears to have worked for everyone with this issue. Product name is a brand's identification of a product, often a model name, but not totally unique as it can include some product variants. All the while of these problems, the Download/Upload Speed is excellent with EE (80mbps 4g DL and 10mbps UL) and signal shows 4 bars so is good too. I did do a rush spec for a site I used to work on using a Teltonika 945 (or similar model) and an omni aerial, I got internet where the "profesional" couldn't saving a 200m+ run of cat5, and never any complaints to me about it - this was 3 years a go now, or maybe 4. s, but obviously this kind of download speed is going to depend upon your choice of 4G mobile network, distance to 4G basestation, 4G network congestion and 4G throttling by the networks (of course UK 4G mobile providers don’t throttle their mobile broadband service we are told!Prior to this i had been using a TPlink MR200 on its own had to move it around the house for coverage though. The indicators on the router will light up when it successfully establishes a connection to a network.

In our tests with three mobile and EE we got 18Mbps download with 3mobile SIM and 84Mbps download with our EE SIM, and the EE and Three base stations are a fairly similar distance away from us, but we always find EE the fastest, but if course EE dont provide any unlimited 4G data plans! These offer a very good reception in the LTE network, especially in comparison with many smartphones. As a very rough guide use my method below, this is how I used to remember the stuff until it all became embedded in my brain (and even then I still sometimes forget it).

The Huawei 4G WiFi router is unlocked – works without any problems with any network with a maximum download speed of up to 1600 Mbit/s, and sending up to 150 Mbit/s. Bridge mode seems to be working, updated the VPN on my phone with the new IP and I can now VPN from my phone to my home Network. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Thanks to HUAWEI HiLink Mesh, you can connect HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Prime to other HUAWEI Wi-Fi routers to integrate them into one network system. The Huawei B818-260 supports all the popular LTE frequency bands in Europe and Asia: Band 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28, 32, 38 and 42. And if the signal is too weak in your location, you can amplify it by adding two 3G/4G LTE external antennas. The Huawei B818-263 CAT19 LTE 4G Router is simple to use, cost effective and very reliable with very few 4G service dropouts and just needs the occasional reboot when this happens. One thing that is annoying is that sometimes the internet slows down to a crawl until I reset the b818.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The Vodafone Gigacube CAT19 or Huawei B818 is worthwhile for anyone who would like to have a particularly good LTE modem and would like to spend a little more. I’d prefer to keep this unit as I’m getting around 100Mbps downloads (and I think that might be firmware throttled too! The WLAN range was also convincing in the test, a large apartment or a small family home can be supplied without additional repeaters.

Even the Huawei B818 can provide high LTE and WLAN speeds for daily use, but probably only for the fewest users. I have tried a couple of different routers from TP-link connected to an external directional antenna and the download is far stronger with this router. I got from ~37 down, 12 up to ~65 down, 25 up with the RSRP going from ~-101 to 103 to a solid -93 and SNR 8-11db to 15-22db. We are potentially renting a rural property for a couple of months, BT have offered 'broadband' at 1-3mb, but with a min 24month contract. The Huawei B818-260 LTE Router supports 4 × 4 MIMO antenna technology as well as carrier aggregation (channel bundling).

Well, I've come to the end of my tether with Three 4g, it's been getting worse and worse over the last couple of months so much so that it's almost unusable in the evenings (something like 16:00 to 21:00) with constant dropouts and hanging completely whilst streaming resulting in rebooting the B818 and the TP-Link Decos several times until it stabilises. With this package, if we do use our full allowance there's unlimited data throttled to 2mb - same as our old phone line - and can upgrade in 3 months if we need to. I then look at the history and it says there was a ‘port scan attack’ right at the exact time it slowed down. The operation and configuration of the Huawei B818 or Gigacube CAT19 takes place either via web interface in the browser or via an app. Do not perform any insertion or removal actions on the SIM card while the router is running, as this may affect performance or damage the SIM card.
