Any reason for your change from AW1000 to CP502?
I see both powered by x55 chipset.

I am using both the Deco x50 and NX510v now. Looking for a new modem with ability to do more custom configuration.

I'm trying to use U Mobile 5G (not their home plan) at a condo in JB. I have direct line of sight to the cell tower (I highly suspect that it's a repeater tower; let me know how to differentiate one).

Up till 2 weeks ago, I was able to get 200-300Mbps on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, however now it's barely getting 2-3Mbps regardless of telco (DNB). CelcomDigi 4G can get about 20-30Mbps whereas U Mobile is only 4-5Mbps.

TL;DR - 4G faster than 5G, despite direct line of sight from cell tower.

In this case, will any lock cell modems will be beneficial for me?

Update: U Mobile 5G 1.6Mbps, Digi 5G 150Mbps
Same phone, same location, tested concurrently. I wonder why

I can tell you.. Yes 5G in x50-5G, and U home 5G in their shit ZTE modem, same location tested back to back, Yes 3 speed test all 50mbps with ping over 50. U Home average ping 20 and speed 280mbps with 3 tests.

Both locked on 5G. So despite on DNB network , there’s difference.
