Today recieved above 5G CPE，cost me RM975. Tested on my umbile 5G broadband package，max download speed around 550mbps and upload speed around 115mbps. No mod or what ever hack been done on the CPE.

I also own POCO F3，before purchase the modem，I use phone to test。Both the result about the same.btw，my 5G signal not strong，3 bar only，I think this is why it cannot go beyond 600mbps.

So far OK all，not undergo extensive test yet. I need 1-2 weeks to check if is stable. Also need to explore the configurations，but a quick glance when I changed the default password，looks like it provide lock band feature and support zerotier。

The UI also provide functionality to change IMEI and TTY。

True, currently all 5G modem router are expensive. This was why I bought from Taobao.

More updates on this 5G CPE I bought from Taobao directly:
1. Form the IMEI check, the modem modules is QUECTEL RM520N-GL. GL means global version, cover mostly all the 5G/4G bands. From another forum somebody slot this module into Mikrotik router and it works fine with Router OS.
3. The SOC part of this modem is from MediaTek
4. The brand is WEYCH or in Chinese 小曼联网 （From box packaging）

Can, it will operate as normal 4G modem (cannot get 5G). The 5G modem module very expensive，try to search this QUECTEL RM520N-GL，almost RM800＋ one piece。This is why most True 5G CPE costs more than RM1K。

4G modem module has a lot variant，eg CAT2, CAT4, CAT6, 20 and etc, cheaper a bit。The cheapest is those that not support carrier aggregation。The one that support only2 CA，already cost over RM500＋.

This I cannot tell. But if you can get the IMEI number of the CPE , you can check it through this site https://www.imei.info. Or request the seller to check for you.

Yes, seller is the same. I did post a review there. Nick name is 潘大侠 I choose this because it has newer Qualcomm X62 modem (I do not want X55 modem which is also from Qualcomm; if not mistaken, the CPE recommended by Umobile is using X55 modem)
Btw, there are 2 designs, one is square and one is round. I bought round one where top surface contains 5G led logo.

Band information related to Malaysia Telcos --> https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/MY
My area Umobile 5G is using N78 band.

If the mod you refer to -> change TTL and change IMEI
Answer: maybe yes

I do notice the CPE setup has these 2 facilities (I did not try as my Umobile SIM is Umobile 5G broadband):
1) Enable/Disable TTL and input TTL number. This one easy enable it and put in a number, you are done
2) A window to input modem AT commands and A window for IMEI revise. This one is challenging you need to know the correct AT command to do so. The AT command can reference to https://www.hitoha.moe/change-4g-mikrotik-imei/ because I know Mikrotik 4G/5G device using modem module from QUECTEL


Later I capture the screen and attach here.

More info for carrier aggregation: https://cacombos.com/ (read the FAQ, very good explanation)

Try lock band as shown below. With the below I can force connect 5G consistently even signal is weak and it will not fall over to 4G.

The 5G CPE I bought from 'Taobao' not hot liked what you stated; touch on the casing, feel warm only.
Btw, I power daily starting 7.00am and power off at around 10.30pm. About 1 weeks plus it operated that way.

I think those 5G CPEs using Qualcomm X62, X65 or X70 (too new, might not exist in current market available CPE yet) RF module support NR-CA ( https://www.quectel.com/news-and-pr/quectel...pp-r16-standard ). Btw, all three, e.g. X62, X65 and X70 are manufactured using 4nm process, should more or less solve the heat problem (I hope).

Based on this website description -> https://www.3gpp.org/specifications-technol...ases/release-16 those 5G RF module that claimed support 3GPP release 16, should be NR-CA ready.
Example:
QUECTEL RM520N-GL (using Qualcomm X62 modem) NR-CA combination info https://forums.quectel.com/t/what-ca-combin...nd-rm520f/16714

From the explanation for NR-CA here -> https://www.rfwireless-world.com/5G/5G-NR-C...ion-basics.html It also depends on telco infrastructure whether it offer it or not, for Malaysia I think CA for 5G not so fast as the frequency range for 5G so limited.

If not mistaken RS860 and B310 are CAT4 modems, they do not support CA. If you can get CAT6 and above modem, the 4G DL/UL can double up. V12 what modem is it?
Some phone will indicate it is using CA by a plus beside 4G, e.g 4G+.

For 5G I do not know how to confirm it is using CA, anybody know?

Let it run! Has 1-year warranty to claim incase break down. If it can run for 3 years, I think it is also time to buy new one with newer technologies, e.g. WIFI 7 or LIFI.
The one I bought from Taobao, run every day 16 hours. I shut down daily to get rid of radio wave at night for good sleep.

Btw, most chips are designed to operate below 100 Celsius without any issues. The drawback is throttling will happened if operation temperature exceeds 80 Celsius depending on the firmware implementation.

I have Unifi fibre also as I want public IP as I host my own NAS。I use 5G for work from home activities as the upload performance way better than Unifi fibre，upload speed almost double ～50mbps vs ～100mbps。Plus this serve as my mobile internet when I work from my parent house in Penang （I stay at Kedah）

originally I also had this idea to buy a cheap 5G phone and used as modem router。But after survey，the cheapest 5G phone costs around RM600。After some thoughts，I dropped the idea。

If not mistaken the other variant of 888 is using Qualcomm X62 modem.

5G CPE that using Qualcomm X65 or X70 modem very hard to find (may be too expansive and not exists yet)

I also noticed from forum Qualcomm X55 modem had issue, what issue I not sure, may be too hot ?

If your device permit lock band, try the below settings. Tick all 4G bands, and only 2 5G bands (which is the only 2 5G bands in Malaysia). Though 5G signal is low it will not fall back to 4G, at least this is my 5G CPE behavior.
But for weak 5G signal, if I only lock 1,3,5,7 and 8 bands for 4G, my 5G CPE will always connect to 4G, even 5G is enabled and lock.

My area 5G signal is weak (same as you ~1.5 bar)

Nope. Btw i shutdown everyday. I did notice sometimes no internet after power on. Solution is reboot again.
