5G CPE MC888, Unlocked 5G WiFi Home Router, Fast WiFi 6, Up to 3.8Gbps, Premium Design with Low Power Consumption, UK Plug + UK Warranty (White)

This is a review for the ZTE 5G CPE MC888. I live in the country and we have terrible wired internet, and no fibre broadband available here. 4G coverage is excellent, so we've been using '4G broadband' for a few years now, via a Huawei mifi device and a SMARTY card. We ended up needing two cards/devices as our walls are thick and the signal wasn't getting through. Wanted to get rid of having two devices, and use a better router with a mesh system...... I did LOADS of research before getting this!! I'd tried a cheaper Archer MR 600 CAT6 4G device first, which just got very hot, kept dropping out and was disappointing! Sent it back, did more research and came up with this. I'm using a SMARTY card in it, and I'm on the edge of a 5G network, so thought I'd get the 5G capability, even if we can't get 5G just yet. As I thought, I'm only getting 4G, BUT the speeds I'm getting are still amazing compared to the old wired BT internet, and to the SMARTY card used in the mifi device. Setting up the device was easy. It works best in a very specific spot on a window sill in the living room. I moved it all over the house to see if anywhere else was better: upstairs was worse strangely. Bought a set of three Deco mesh hubs (TP-link Deco X10 AX1500, £144.99 on Amazon), as on its own the ZTE couldn't get through our very thick walls. The set up works perfectly. The first Deco hub connects to the ZTE router directly, and becomes Hub number 1 (hidden under an old 50's radio's shell in the photo!) which then sends the signal to the other Deco hubs. I now have a brilliant signal all over the house, with two Decos, and one extra one which we only use when people stay in the Granny annex. We've had this set up for a couple of months now, and we only lost signal once, when it was chucking it down with rain/stormy. We've had bad weather since then, and all has been well. Copes with three devices at once streaming films with no problem. No problems with Teams meetings for work, with lots of people on the meeting, and sharing presentations etc. It's fairly pricey (£212.49 when I bought it), but so far this has been money well spent.

Decided to try this router after my ISP had a price increase and have to say am not disappointed. Very easy to set up, excellent WiFi signal around my house. Using a Voxi (Vodafone) unlimited data sim & getting around 500-600MB download & 30-70MB upload speeds. Had to change the APN settings as kept dropping connection with the auto setting used when inserted the Sim. Bonus that you can plug a landline into the router so can make & receive calls using unlimited calls included with the sim plan, though caller ID does not work which seems strange why the router cannot send this info to the phone. Highly recommend much better then paying for a overpriced landline service where you only get 40-50MB

It turns a weak signal to decent speed and improve download speed significantly but upload speed is slow but much better than other routers (if not the best). I tested portable ZTE router, 2 different TP link routers and a Huawei router and this was the 5th. I used to live in an old flat building that was blocking the signal. I used it with SIM from Three (which might not be good everyday and every where). You should investigate it with other SIMs before committing to long term plans. It's extremely useful to have 2 connection ports in this router for my PC and laptop to give me stable internet connectivity. try placing it in a room with good 4G or 5G signal and test speeds in different places in your home then you might want to connect it through cables to your PC/Laptop When I moved flat, I didn't have down time in my internet connection using this router and SIM card and I rescued myself from long contracts with TalkTalk which increased prices after contract and they didn't offer better terms, they just kept taking a lot of money every month from my bank account without letting me know if there are better contract terms. Leave alone the issues I had with OpenReach to connect the new fibre and had to reschedule and didn't get a satisfactory solution.

This product is insane. As long as your provider gives good speeds, this modem delivers. Im getting shy of 500mb all day long. Super powerful, great range and no performance issues even with multiple devices connected. But ultimately I got this device as a portable modem so when I travel I have internet on the go. The bad news is this device doesn’t not worm on certain 5G bands especially US ones. Which ultimately was a deal breaker for me. Went to states and couldn’t use it. Would not get service at all. ZTE said they don’t support US 4G/5G bands. A little bit of a disappointment but no big deal.

In eerste instantie was ik een beetje sceptisch omdat de verpakking en ook de gebruiksaanwijzing in het Pools waren. Na het insteken van de nano-simkaart en het opstarten van de router kon ik echter bij de eerste ingebruikname de Engelse taal kiezen, wat voor mij geen probleem is. Het opstarten duurt steeds eventjes, maar dat is relatief. Ik denk een seconde of 20. Verder vond de router direct mijn aanbieder en liet zien dat ik 5G had. Ook het aanmelden van in mijn geval telefoons gaat gemakkelijk; QR code scannen en klaar. Iedereen had een goede ontvangst. Hierbij lag de router afgedekt in de middenconsole van de auto. De accuduur is ook zeer goed vind ik. Van vol naar ergens in de 70% bij een rit van meer dan 4 uur. Het enige waar ik nog niet helemaal uit ben is of je het apparaat kan laden tijdens gebruik. Het lijkt er in ieder geval op dat je de router niet kunt starten als deze aan de laadkabel hangt. Haal je de kabel eruit, dan wel en dan kun je de kabel er ook weer insteken. Maar of er dan wordt bijgeladen? Overall ben ik zeer tevreden.

Simkarte wüsste ich nicht sicher wie rum sie rein gesteckt wird. Aber hab es nach dem 2 Versuch geschafft. Ansonsten alles besten funktioniert einwandfrei. Und sieht gut aus.

منتج بصراحه ممتاز مثل ما جاء في الوصف شكراً

Apparecchio veramente eccellente. Veloce, interfaccia reattiva, scalda poco, stabilità della connessione ottima. Vanno segnalate alcune limitazioni: - il router arriva pre-configurato in polacco, i manuali sono solo in polacco e sul sito non sembra esserci una guida ufficiale, la lingua italiana non é disponibile, alternative sono tedesco e inglese - per HO bisogna creare il profilo a mano - non é possibile impostare sul router dei DNS personalizzati
