Hello, we recently moved to the UK and are renting a newly built house in London.
We are both in tech, work mostly from home, and used to have a full fibre 1 gigabit connection. To our amazement, there is no fibre provider near us, and when I checked "standard" broadband, I discovered we can obtain "UltraFast" rates of 15Mbps; I was convinced it was a joke because I hadn't seen a VDSL connection in several years.
But it appears that the joke is on us, and we have to find an alternative. I discovered this site (hopefully the data here is valid) bidb.uk, which claims that we can get 5G through Vodafone, however after reading several posts here, I'm still unsure which 5G mobile router we should get for maximum speed and stability.
I have seen the following routers searching Google and this forum:
Zyxel NR5103 5G NR Indoor Router
MC888 Ultra
Hivarr Xion Home Hypersonic 5G UltraMesh WiFi6 Router
* We are not yet in the house, but when I looked about, I noticed a 5G signal with Lebara on an iPhone 12 Pro Max inside the house in certain parts, although at low rates.
In general, because we work a lot from home, I don't mind paying more for something that is future-proof, has a good built-in antenna, and can accommodate an additional antenna if necessary.
I already have two ZenWiFi Pro XT12 mesh nodes, thus an ideal device would be one that simply handles connecting to the cellular 5G signal and has a 2.5 Gigabit ethernet connection to the ZenWiFi network.
Thanks.
