mine doesn't
only 1st wall can...the 2nd wall which is just right next to me right now...this wall isn't even 100% covered...just bottom half, top half is empty
but once i cross that wall, that 5G disappear

if your whole house have 5G meaning that tower is really near to u to get that kind of coverage(so near u can see it)

5G in malaysia has very limited range

Connect phone to router via USB cable. You need a router with USB port. On the phone, enable USB tethering.

some 5G modem actually using phone chipset.

just buy a used 5G phone, then remove battery and direct power supply to board, easy and safe.

can connect to tv to play games especially emulator at same time.

mine serve as android POS system while hotspot giving connection to CCTV, the best and perfect decision.

All telcos are on the same DNB infra. As long 5g dont have speedcap & quota they should work thr same.

What the 5g means is 5ghz WiFi, not 5G. Support of course can support, just get 4G LTE speeds only. Shopee seller most of the time very blur and no need bear responsibility with what they say.
