On the front of the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 there are some LEDs that signal the operating status and the reception strength. So you can easily see in which network technology (4G or 5G) the router is working. There is also an optically subtle LED on the underside, which Huawei calls “Ambient Light”. However, this LED light strip does not apparently fulfill a special function; Adopting all-new 5G smart antennas, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 also supports up to 11 5G frequency bands, allowing you to expand your business globally. The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 is currently one of only a few end devices that can use the 5G band n28 in conjunction with LTE band 20 as an anchor. Vodafone is expanding 5G band n28, especially in rural areas, as it enables very high ranges. This makes the router, which Vodafone markets as “Gigacube 5G”, ideal for 5G in rural areas. A total of 11 different 5G frequency bands are supported by the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2, including the bands n1, n3, n7, n28 and n78, which are relevant for Europe and Asia. 4G LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28 and 32 are supported in LTE operation. This means that the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 has very good compatibility with current and future cellular networks.

Only thing I can see which has changed since Sunday is an automatic firmware update at 02:30 in the morning, and i’ve had issues since. I’ve tried the device in every window now and its the same throughout.” Overall, the range of functions is unfortunately relatively limited, especially professionals and network experts will certainly miss some functions. It starts, for example, with a simple time switch for the WLAN and goes through to manual technology or frequency band selection for the modem. None of this is possible with the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2. Android devices need to use HUAWEI AI Life APP, while iOS devices need to use HUAWEI Smart Home APP.

I have to take my hat off to some of those in this thread as they are way more patient and understanding than me. HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 allows you to set up a whole-home mesh network system, which offers seamless Wi-Fi throughout your home. As you walk around the house, the connected device will automatically switch to the strongest signal in the system. Set up your mesh network in anyway you like, by connecting HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 to HUAWEI Wi-Fi routers, or connecting it with your Ethernet cable, or both.

Data from HUAWEI test lab, by comparing HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 and HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro. The theoretical value of 5 GHz Wi-Fi is 2402 Mbps, while the theoretical value of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is 574 Mbps. HUAWEI Wi-Fi 5-enabled phones includes Mate30 series, P30 series, Mate20 series, etc. All of them support 160 MHz bandwidth.From the frequencies, 3630Mhz is the middle of Three's full 100Mhz n78 spectrum (3580-3680Mhz) and 3599.9Mhz (round it up to 3600Mhz) is the middle of what Three use for their reduced spectrum 40Mhz 5G cells (3580-3620Mhz). Anyway my replacement is due tomorrow (18th) but this time around knowing they B07 firmware is screwed I’ll be plugging the router in without the sim so it can’t update while i see if there is an option to ignore or defer firmware updates etc for the time being. The speeds were very good both in 5G operation and in LTE operation. In the downlink, around 1 Gbit/s in the downlink and around 160 Mbit/s in the uplink were possible via 5G using band n78. When using band n1, up to 450 Mbit/s was achieved in the downlink. The latency times were pleasantly short, sometimes well below 15 milliseconds. In the LTE network, up to 450 Mbit/s in the downlink and up to 95 Mbit/s in the uplink were achieved.
