Hi all,
I have been lurking for a while and appreciated the info on here so decided to put out my first post. Some context first ..
In the background I have been working on taming my Huawei CPE Pro (H112-370) which is ex-Three but now unlocked to all networks.
The firmware version is locked in and could not change it so looked for plan B.
I have been testing a script utility based on the work of MioNonno (seriously check out his youtube channel for great info) which allows me to fix the 4G bands on the router to help control which cell towers to lock-on to for best performance.
On this router the other utilities such as LTEHMonitor did not work for me as the firmware does not let you login via the normal API and so I was stuck. Frustration got the better of me so did some research...
Left to its own devices it drops off the new 3 'Pole of Wonder' across the way in favour of older slower masts which are closer on Band 1 and Band 3. Locking the 4G bands to help steer to the new 3 PoW which has the 5G ENDC anchors ( also uniquely in the vicinity B20, B28 and B32 ) helps the box stick to the right tower for 5G
I am getting a reliable 400MBps down and 60-70MBps up of of my SMARTY 5G enabled SIM now it locks on to B28 with a really good SINR to boot.
Also added is the unhiding of the hidden DNS server override so you can set your own DNS entries which is disabled for some reason by default.
I have stuck this up on github with some better documentation.

[Edit: the direct link is here https://github.com/gazzasat/huawei-cpe]
It is a work in progress but I have been using it for a bit with great results so though I would post it publicly. If you want to give it a go and let me know some feedback or go ahead and modify it yourself if it is useful to you.
Please Note: As always use it at your own risk but hopefully does not do anything which can brick your box. It might require a factory reset if it does not do what you expected.
