ZTE G5B - Unlocked wireless 5G AX3000 WiFi6 Whole Home Router, Premium Design with low-power consumption, no configuraiton req, parental controls, easy management- UK plug & warranty

This is a great gadget. We bought it because we have a house in Greece and need reliable and affordable WiFi. We tried it out in London using a Three data sim card and it was hopeless. For our area, apparently Vodafone gives a much better result than Three. Then we took it to Greece and used a Cosmote data only Sim card. We had tried the Vodafone sim card there last year and it was no use in our area. But with a Cosmote data sim card, the speed was excellent, in fact achieving better speeds than using the full fibre broadband we are used to in London from Virgin. If you can get a sim card with strong coverage for the area you live, this MiFi gives excellent, reliable WiFi 24 hours hours a day, 7 days a week.

Brilliant product. Works flawlessly. I use it in Ireland with a GoMo SIM at €14.99/m for unlimited data. Half of the competitors price. Love the fact I can just unplug and bring with me on holidays, or to a hotel or a family members house when needed.

Brilliant router, does exactly what I needed it to do.

This is basically just a rebadged MC888 variant. My initial impressions of this were pretty good, it picked up the 3internet apn correctly and all I really needed to do was to change the WiFi SSID and password. Over WiFi it performed reasonably well and phone call quality using the RJ11 port was good. But this undortunately is where it ends. Although the device can technically handle 64 WiFi devices the reality is this is split between the 2.4ghz and 5ghz WiFi bands both being limited to 32 devices. This is because this runs what they call a soft access point, ie it's a bit like your mobile phones hotspot, so the number of devices it can actually handle is limited. The 5ghz band in the settings is limited to channels 36 to 48, nearly every router on the planet deafults to these bands. So no DFS channels unless you want to hack the web interface, which you can and then you can select a nice clean DFS channel. Unfortunately though ZTE devices seem to have huge problems with their wired ethernet ports, so if you want to use any wired devices this router will absolutely useless to you, as after a few days the wires ethernet devices just disconnect and a reboot of the router is required the get them working again. I tired everything to try and solve this including a very short ethernet cable to a network switch, but it still didn't want to play ball. Unfortunately due to this I returned it and cannot recommend this router to anyone who wants to use wired ethernet.

I bought this router to try in our static caravan, which is in a dead área for signal. Tried several routers with outside arial, Lucky to get 8 mbs dounload. The G5B with either 02 or vodaphone sims gave an imediate down load of 80mbs, and reaching as high as 110mbs. Utterly amasing, but best yet to come, tried unit at home on 02 5g getting 200mbs and on vodaphone 350mbs. Totally realiable never had to reboot in 6 weeks. Have cancelled my expensive cable wifi and am using this permanently at home and purchasing a second for our caravan next year. Can only give this unit the highest recommend.

Smart piece of kit nice 👍😄👍😄👍

Got this router as it generally had good reviews and I knew 3 network were using them. I put my EE sim in and worked well with smart TV perfect solution for a WiFi network with no line into house.

The experience was WOW at the beginning with speeds reaching 130+mbps. I was surprised. Fast forward 3 months and it frequently drops to levels of 0.5mbps when you are seated just next to the router and with the router in the same location as when I got 130+mbps. Frequently disconnects - Highly unreliable for remote work, and will DEFINITELY let you down. Avoid this at any cost. I did not have any access for wired internet. I regret spending 180 bucks on this.
