    I have this router, it is excellent, and nearly half the price of some others.

    I use a Vodafone 5g unlimited SIM for my area, if you don't have 5G but have it "coming soon" it switches down if needed to 4G and 3G.

    Vodafone advertise 5G but in truth for us it's 4G+, but we get up to 130mbps download and up to 30mbps upload, with no external antennas.

    We have 16 devices connected with phones, tablets, consoles, laptops, ring doorbell, Sonos, Google home etc... And no buffering. WiFi 6 strength is very good.

    Curious, what's the speed like withi this?

    Depends what you mean?

    5G would still be limited by what your nearest mast can push and how congested it is. If you have a very recent phone it will give you a good indication of this.

    I have wifi 6 at home and the speeds are comparable to a saturated gigabit ethernet connection, with a slightly higher ping.

    I wonder if this has bridge mode like the three ones do, I can see anything to say that they do or don't

    I bought one maybe a year ago from sotel as sim free. Software was branded as TMobile but is indeed sim free. It has bridge mode and works great.

    IMO a better option is a 5G phone with USB 3 hooked up to a wireless router. You then have advanced functionality which don’t get with this.

    Normally the concern is heat dispation. Price wise, this router is certainly cheaper than a 5G phone + WIFI 6 router.

    Could you shove you mobile sim in this without getting grief from your network supplier?

    5G phones are well under £200 so this seems overpriced compared to 4G routers

    You can't connect 30 devices to a phone hotspot, or get the signal strength this would give. No comparison. (edited)

    CEX do the Three branded MC801A for £120 if people don't mind buying a second hand one. It was hard to tell if mine had been used at all. Unlocked to all networks too

    What does the phone port do on it?

    Had this as part of the three modem deal and mine is getting swapped out tomorrow due it updating it's firmware despite it being switched off, now it just locks up every 12 hours or so. They seem to think it may be the number of connections 30+ including Smart home tech i.e. ring, plugs, hive etc. may be worth checking it will work with all your devices.

    It's the German Telekom (whatever name) one with issues in the firmware. Check online and you'll find out about it

    We have a re-badged version of this with out three 5G internet. The internet itself is good, but the wifi6 signal is a little weak. Luckily, I have an old router setup at the other end of the house (which has better signal, but it isn't wifi 6).

    Recently, I noticed that sending files to my NAS on our local network over wifi had stopped my TV from streaming. I thought this was strange, as the TV is wired into the router. It seems like I hit a limit of the routers capabilities.

    Yes, it has external antenna connections but they are only for 5G it won’t do anything for 4G reception. (edited)

    Also is this unlocked and brand new? It looks like amazon are going to make me give the driver a password when he tries to deliver, hope it doesn't turn in to theft like hundreds complain online
