QUOTE(ad2000 @ Aug 5 2023, 10:25 AM) It has been two weeks now using UHome 5G. Now I have bought the NR5103E 3 UK version, I am quite happy with the speed and stability. I disabled the wifi for the Zyxel modem and use a spare Asus AC59V2 as AP. Using the Zyxel modem, the speed is around 300-390Mbps but using the Asus router via AP I manage to get consistently more than 500Mbps   May I check if you put the modem indoor? Able to find out how is the signal reception in the indoor setting and what band it’s connecting to?

Able to find out how is the signal reception in the indoor setting and what band it’s connecting to? modem placed on the 2nd-floor hall. This model can lock the 5G band and I set it at N78 for 5G and B28 for 4G This post has been edited by ad2000: Aug 5 2023, 01:58 PM

Guys. Why not just buy a 5g phone then hotspot it to a wifi router? Wouldn't it be cheaper?

Too hot and battery consuming. if die die want to use hotspot, maybe can use: 1. usb tethering, not all router can support (high end phone only got usb 3.0, else will be limited to usb 2.0 speed) 2. usb-c to ethernet dongle (also limited to usb speed)

I have since upgraded from Asus router to 2 TPlink X50 PoE as AP, one on the ground floor and the other master bedroom. Significant improvement in stable connection and speed

Cheaper 5g phone usually with USB2.0 connection for device tethering. So, you max speed is bottleneck... unless market available with 5G dongle. that much more cheaper soon...

I tried lowest also RM 620. Look forward to your feedback on this also as I am trying to get a cheap 5G phone as mifi.
