Hi guys, i just bought my Huawei Zain e5186s-22a, but my speed is similar to what i use with galaxy note 3 hotspot. My area have LTE-A and i tested with s7 edge before buying the modem.

How do i know the modem has selected to LTE-A band?

I seems can't choose band selection within the modem.

Please someone with this modem help .. thanks..

How to define LTE-A. I tested with S7 edge , the speed is good around 50mpbs. The phone also show 4g+. However, I use e5186-22a only can get 25mbps max. I only use band 3 because other combinations not giving stable and higher speed. Is the modem overrated or need more setup? Thinking to try external antenna.

We have the same firmware. biggrin.gif

The guide only manage to flash web UI no matter how long I leave it to run. I guess you have a pretty old firmware previously.

yes pipul use voice call on e5186 and yes it works.

The moment call in/out, the line will change to 3G as u can see the light colour changed to blue.

If your place is same like mine, 3G cannot be used or very slow.

There's no modem/router support VOLTE yet, so yes it's normal.

Do you mean if my area's 3G is good, then i should still have connection while calling?

But i try to force the modem to 3G only without call, i still can get internet.

When call, i totally cannot get internet..

any idea?

the moment u using call, modem swtich from 4G to 3G.

Latency ping become 2k+ ms..

I still can online when I switch to 3g but totally cannot online when I make call. This is not right . The modem should work although at call with 3g. Imagining if I'm playing game then my family members can't make call already.

i manage to improve my speed from average 20+ to 40+ with external antenna, putting near window. I'm happy with the antenna.

Anyone with E5186s can work with voice call and internet together at the same time?

Connection will switch from 4G to 3G once call is made or received, provided setting inside router is "4G preferred" or "Auto"

Yes, i know will auto switch from 4G to 3G. it is normal, but while at 3G during call, i can't get internet at all.

i set to Auto.

Can you try whether it works?

if i force to 3G only, i can get online. This tell me 3G has no problem. Only something wrong during call.

Just installed the external 49dB dual MIMO omni antenna to my E5186... that thing boosted my download speed from 20mbps to 53mbps... tomorrow going to buy extension sma cable to mount the antenna near my window and see whether got more improvements..

Btw, how come my upload speed around 2-4mbps only?

Nearly same case to me. If your router set everything to auto, your band should be now different compare to previous due to antenna helped on signal strength.

If you use Huawei tools to set the band, you will have more consistent up down speed.

For my situation is when making call , the speed is extremely slow and i feel the internet no moving at all. But once i hang up the call, the speed immediately resume back to normal. This is much much better compare using smartphone which need to wait sometime the network switching from 3G to 4G. However, i do feel that 5186 dual band AC wifi coverage is suck compare to my normal TPlink router.

Having exactly same problem on the internet during call.. i think is modem problem. if i use it on the smartphone, i still can use internet during call.
