Before I invest in a Huawei 5G pro 2 router, are they better alternative?

So I done the factory reset then Using an ethernet cable into my iMac, I started doing this and the login screen appeared from The 192.168.11 website but it doesn't accept the password , see screenshot attached

That should be 'admin' for the user name, and your pw from the QR code pw23. :)

The APN details are on another section once you successfully login.

I don't think you're having much luck with your QR code pw23, could you maybe take a good quality close up photo of it and send me it via direct message and I'll see if I can scan it here and see what your pw is?

Don't know if that will work or not, but maybe worth a try. 🤷‍♂️

Still baffled at why you're not getting the full details from your QR scan though, mine shows everything as in my earlier post, and I just used the default camera on the phone.
 
Send it back, it should be a minute job to change the apn and without errors.
It's either locked or has other problems.
 
Thank you for the guidance,
I am now able to login to that address then requested I change the password, which I done and it's opened up a big webpage, see attached photo

But can't see anything about an APR, when should I be looking?

-Edit: now it timed me out so when I went back to login is now not accepted and it says even my username is invalid so I try logging in five minutes later but then it says the password is incorrect

Is it because I'm using still was the username?

This is the username or password is incorrect, but the password is correct and the username is admin

There's me thinking I was actually making some progress with this router

Just had someone check over and after they looked at the instruction booklet online the light indicators suggest that The Sim card is in invalid and instant is unavailableaa
 
Before I buy a officially unlocked NR5103E can someone please advise whether you would expect me to get the same speeds with it what? I'm currently getting using my iPhone 15+ with a VOXI Sim?
As on the best times I get 20 MVPS, but is this the best I'll top out on with the NR5103E that I won't bother buying

At it's worst, I only get 3 MB PS with the Vodafone 4G mobile router

If 20 MB PS is the best I can get with The NR5103E, Would you expect a better speed if I got the HUAWEICPE pro 2?

No, if 20 Mbps is all you can get with the ZTE, then it's extremely likely the Huawei will not fair better.
You should be looking at other operators (that are not Vodafone based).

Try different browsers, sounds as though old details are being cached.

No you misunderstand me, I meant to say that I have only used 4G my fire router so far, which only gets me 20 MB PS at the best times

I haven't yet been able to test the VXI Sim card in a 5G router, but wanted to know before I buy one, as the 4G router only gets me 20 MBPS, would you expect similar with a 5G router?

As a router should be at least 100 speed and it's not so assume even if I had a 5G router, I would get the same speed

Depends if Voldafone has good 5G in the area..

I use a Voxi sim in my ZTE MCA801A, the router is 5G capable but unfortunately no nearby enabled mast. There is a NSA 5G mast a bit further out which I can cell lock to but it's pants. That being said I can cell lock to a nearby mast on 4G+ using bands 1, 7 & 20 and it achieves download speeds of up to 180mbps which is more than fine. Tested on the phone as well and it connects to the same mast.

Getting a 5G router won't help much if there isn't any local masts but with a router like MCA801A you can potentially cell lock to a nearby mast for better speeds dependant on capacity etc.

Same here. Vodafone is poor in my area.
On advice from someone here, I have been using 1pmobile for a few months, with good results - 184mb just now. (EE seems so pricey)
Three shows as having 5G available but the highest download I can get is ~85mb. My nearest mast, although showing as 5G, gives very poor results.
If there's one thing I've learned in this 'game' it is that it all boils down to trial and error with routers, SIMs and masts.

Just as an update, the NR5103EV2 three branded arrived today from CEX. It came with all the original accessories. I inserted the Voxi SIM card and changed the APN. It connected straight away, which means it's not locked.

It briefly connected to NSA 5G in auto mode. However, there's no strong NSA 5G signal here, nor any SA 5G, so I've locked it to B7 + B1. Thankfully, it connects to the same mast that I was cell locking with the MCA801A. I do miss the cell lock, but the band lock seems to be functioning at the moment.

The UI is generally more pleasing than that of the ZTE products. The ZTE was slightly faster in the same position but not a deal breaker.
