Currently testing mainly on SG network, got a peak of around 500Mbps DL and around 90-100Mbps UL via b28 LTE anchor + N1/N78 5G NSA band. Main fame comes from ability to customized and modify however you need. Seller sells just the board, or a combo of SMA antennas connectors, motherboard and internal heatsink + fan with aluminum casing

Only downside is proprietary mediatek blobs (WiFi 7 drivers + SoC drivers) inside firmware, seller provide SDK but blobs not in mainline ImmortalWRT yet. Some work on software side needs to be done

Will test eventually with RM530N-GL or RM551E-GL to see what can this little thing do if placed on mmWave. Pending testing for SA network within SG for speed

Hi @yenchenje, I am planning to buy this too, is there issue with RM520N-GL module so far?
Does provided SMA to ipex cable can use for RM520N-GL module?
Is a good choice use as portable device?
Anyway to bypass hotspot data?

Guys.. Will be switching from unifi to UMobile Uhome 5g for my mum house... Not going for contract with free modem so was wondering if you could recommend 5g modem... Not tech savvy so would prefer plug and play and don't want worry about warranty.. Having 1 TV, 2 phones, 2 lpads and 2 cctv... Would the prolink dl7211 be suitable?

If you're using for home, do consider the DL7211 is a mobile (as in portable) device. Maybe should consider getting a home modem? No shortage of people selling U Mobile modems on Carousell, Shopee and FB Marketplace which can make use of your U Home 5G. RM200-RM400

So far been stable, I even modified the IMEI using my P8P IMEI and use it to bypass hotspot limitation

And yes, 3 of it is for IPEX1 for wifi (Tri band) and 4 of it is for IPEX4 for cellular. Antennas bought separately though

For portable, the only thing is it does not have an internal battery, so you will need a separate battery bank to keep it powered

Sorry for the delay in responding - only just got a landline phone.

It works, but when you make a call or there is an incoming call, connection drops to 4G. Once it ends, it returns to 5G. This is confirmed by the connection indicator LED colour (5G - White, 4G - Green). But at least you can still receive / make calls without forcing the unit to 4G - it does that automatically

great! thanks a lot for testing this bro. at least it's working on 5g & only dropped to 4g during the call period only.
