HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 adopts a 30 dB cooling fan to get rid of any disturbing noise, even during heavy use. The fan will also adjust its speed depending on the detected temperatures, which allows for efficient heat dissipation and consistent performance over a long period.

While you are working or enjoying entertainment media you don’t want to be disturbed by unnecessary noise. For this reason, a 30 dB cooling fan is used significantly reducing the disturbance you encounter, even with heavy usage. The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 can supply up to 128 devices simultaneously with a WLAN connection. The WLAN network on 5 GHz is preferred by the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 by default, i.e. even if you explicitly connect to the 2.4 GHz network, the connection is established on 5 GHz, provided the end device supports this frequency range. The user benefits from significantly higher speeds, but can of course also deactivate the function in the web interface if necessary. Software and operation Basically, a little more functions are available via the web interface than via the app. For example, there are functions such as bridge mode or the option of routing the Internet connection via a VPN. More common functions such as guest WiFi can also be configured via the app. Also seeing the “CA Status keeps changing from CA Active to NO CA to CA Inactive” as well, don’t know if that’s relevant, not sure what it is.

Something weird is going on. I've posted this a couple of times and both times it's disappeared. Trying once more... Direct line of sight to the 5G mast a few 100m away so it’s not signal issues I don’t think (and has always been very fast and stable up until now, couple of months since I got the thing).” With Wi-Fi 6, the speed of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 increases by 150%, boosted to 2976 Mbps on dual bands.6 Its Gigahome Wi-Fi 6 chipset, supporting Chipset Synergy, also allows HUAWEI Wi-Fi 5-enabled phones7 to take full advantage of 160 MHz wide frequency bandwidth. The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 can either be configured via the Huawei AI Life app (Android and iOS) or via the web interface (IP: 192.168.8.1). Both the app and the web interface are visually appealing and easy to use. All important functionalities are available, including, for example, the ability to call up statistics on the Internet connection or information on the connected devices.

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. Network Slicing - customize your network with desirable characteristics like low latency for ultra-smooth gaming, high bandwidth for watching 8K movies, and moreData from HUAWEI test lab. Simultaneously connect up to 16 devices with 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Simultaneously connect up to 4 devices with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Transmission Rate: DBDC 2976 Mbps, 5 GHz 2402 Mbps (theoretical value), 2.4 GHz 574 Mbps (theoretical value) 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). 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.”

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. 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. Sadly, there’s currently no indication of when the fix will be ready, but hopefully it won’t take too long. In the meantime, we suspect that Three may have suspended firmware updates for the router, at least until the fixed firmware is ready to be pushed out (one person on older firmware said there doesn’t seem to be a newer version available to them). Anyway, since all these works have completed. I have gained a new, but not very speedy VF 5G signal to my mobile. Though my 3 signal to my CPE Pro seems to have gone unpredictably unstable. It suddenly can lose up speed, or be seriously laggy. Though then the next minute be great again!?

Very good WiFi connection

Supported 5G frequency bands: n1/n3/n5/n7/n28/n38/n40/n41/n77/n78/n79. Actual supported frequency bands may vary slightly in different regions due to certification. We are aware of an issue affecting the 5G service of a small number of customers with a ZTE MC801A router. 4G service remains unaffected. We are working to fix the issue and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused to customers.” In the test with a SIM card in the telecommunications network, the router ran smoothly on the frequency bands n1 and n78, of course always in NSA mode with an LTE cell as an anchor. In theory, however, the router can also use 5G SA as soon as a corresponding core network is available.
