Am planning to get one 5G Sim Card router but not many choices in market..Umobile recommends ZTE and they cost RM1500 to 1700.

4G LTE Sim routers are less than RM300.

Just bought a FourFaith (yeecomm) 5g router arounnd rm950 at Shopee/Lazada. So far so good.
Around Batu Maung area, Penang.

Can go as high as 1.6Ghz. But average around 800-900Mbps.
