Hi
I currently have a Huawei B818-263 with an EE unlimited sim (£200 for 18 months from Amazon). Obviously this is 4g only but as I live in a decent 5g EE area (400/500 mbps on phone), I'm looking to upgrade to a 5g router.
Would anyone be able to recommend any please? I'm quite a newbie it terms with messing with settings etc.
I've read various threads on ZTE MC801A, MC7010 and am aware of the Huawei 5g CPE PRO 2. It seems the more I read the more confused I get.
My EE 4g+ already seems to get roughly 250-300mbps so I'm slightly confused as the best way to go and I see various responses about cell locking etc and if I;m honest, find it a little daunting! Cost isn't necessarily the driving factor, but would like to ensure I get the best I can without too much messing!
Not sure if it's relevant but I also need to connect mesh wifi to get the signal round quite a big house with thick walls. Am looking to upgrade that too as I seem to struggle in my office as the opposite end of my router bedroom window. Powerlines don't seem to work well
Thanks in advance, happy to provide answers to questions as required
