About this deal

Was my first day today with Three 5G and although it started great it all went to sh*t within a few min of being online and “updating”. We are aware of an issue affecting the 5G service of a small number of customers with a ZTE MC801A router. 4G service remains unaffected. We are working to fix the issue and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused to customers.” In the test with a SIM card in the telecommunications network, the router ran smoothly on the frequency bands n1 and n78, of course always in NSA mode with an LTE cell as an anchor. In theory, however, the router can also use 5G SA as soon as a corresponding core network is available. On the front of the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 there are some LEDs that signal the operating status and the reception strength. So you can easily see in which network technology (4G or 5G) the router is working. There is also an optically subtle LED on the underside, which Huawei calls “Ambient Light”. However, this LED light strip does not apparently fulfill a special function;

Data from HUAWEI test lab, by comparing HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 and HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro. The theoretical value of 5 GHz Wi-Fi is 2402 Mbps, while the theoretical value of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is 574 Mbps. HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 allows you to set up a whole-home mesh network system, which offers seamless Wi-Fi throughout your home. As you walk around the house, the connected device will automatically switch to the strongest signal in the system. Set up your mesh network in anyway you like, by connecting HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 to HUAWEI Wi-Fi routers, or connecting it with your Ethernet cable, or both. Anyway, since all these works have completed. I have gained a new, but not very speedy VF 5G signal to my mobile. Though my 3 signal to my CPE Pro seems to have gone unpredictably unstable. It suddenly can lose up speed, or be seriously laggy. Though then the next minute be great again!? Buy a significantly cheaper 4G router with a high CAT rating but then it won't be future-proofed (I've put the H112-370 into 4G-only mode and I'm still getting speeds of 200Mbps which before I experienced 5G, I'd have been delighted with as I'm unable to get fibre here). Adopting all-new 5G smart antennas, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 also supports up to 11 5G frequency bands, allowing you to expand your business globally.With Wi-Fi 6, the speed of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 increases by 150%, boosted to 2976 Mbps on dual bands.6 Its Gigahome Wi-Fi 6 chipset, supporting Chipset Synergy, also allows HUAWEI Wi-Fi 5-enabled phones7 to take full advantage of 160 MHz wide frequency bandwidth.

While you are working or enjoying entertainment media you don’t want to be disturbed by unnecessary noise. For this reason, a 30 dB cooling fan is used significantly reducing the disturbance you encounter, even with heavy usage. Transmission Rate: DBDC 2976 Mbps, 5 GHz 2402 Mbps (theoretical value), 2.4 GHz 574 Mbps (theoretical value) Overall, the range of functions is unfortunately relatively limited, especially professionals and network experts will certainly miss some functions. It starts, for example, with a simple time switch for the WLAN and goes through to manual technology or frequency band selection for the modem. None of this is possible with the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2.

Not even meaningful information about the currently used radio cell can be read out. Windows users can at least help themselves with the unofficial tool “LTE-Watch H”, which can read out more detailed information about the connection. Direct line of sight to the 5G mast a few 100m away so it’s not signal issues I don’t think (and has always been very fast and stable up until now, couple of months since I got the thing).”

Same issue. Yesterday (9th May) the router was swapping from 5G to 4G+ to 4G every few seconds; speed was 4mbps/1mbps whereas typical speed before was 320mbps/60mbps. is currently not supported. HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 would support 802.11s or easy mesh upon HOTA (HUAWEI-Over-the-Air) update. Supported 5G frequency bands: n1/n3/n5/n7/n28/n38/n40/n41/n77/n78/n79. Actual supported frequency bands may vary slightly in different regions due to certification. Only thing I can see which has changed since Sunday is an automatic firmware update at 02:30 in the morning, and i’ve had issues since. I’ve tried the device in every window now and its the same throughout.”Adopting HUAWEI patented magnetic-electric dipole Wi-Fi antenna, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 allows the signal to travel in all directions alike, covering 30% more spaces8 with evenly distributed signals. Combining Dynamic Narrow Bandwidth Technology (down to 2 MHz) and Chipset Synergy, the coverage of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 is further improved, allowing HUAWEI Wi-Fi 6-enabled phones to have good reception even when placed in a region far from the router.

In addition, many users will miss connections for an external antenna. It is true that the use of an external antenna in 5G operation only makes limited sense, as a large number of frequency ranges are often bundled and more than 2 × 2 MIMO is used. Unfortunately, there is also no USB port, for example to integrate storage media into the network. LEDs and fansSadly, there’s currently no indication of when the fix will be ready, but hopefully it won’t take too long. In the meantime, we suspect that Three may have suspended firmware updates for the router, at least until the fixed firmware is ready to be pushed out (one person on older firmware said there doesn’t seem to be a newer version available to them). Since the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 can apparently get relatively warm during operation, Huawei has installed an active fan. In the test, however, this was not audible even in longer 5G operation. Test in the 5G network The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 can either be configured via the Huawei AI Life app (Android and iOS) or via the web interface (IP: 192.168.8.1). Both the app and the web interface are visually appealing and easy to use. All important functionalities are available, including, for example, the ability to call up statistics on the Internet connection or information on the connected devices. HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 adopts a 30 dB cooling fan to get rid of any disturbing noise, even during heavy use. The fan will also adjust its speed depending on the detected temperatures, which allows for efficient heat dissipation and consistent performance over a long period. A total of 11 different 5G frequency bands are supported by the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2, including the bands n1, n3, n7, n28 and n78, which are relevant for Europe and Asia. 4G LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28 and 32 are supported in LTE operation. This means that the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 has very good compatibility with current and future cellular networks.
