Hi,
My first post here despite being a user of the ispreview website for a number of years and never having signed up for the forum!
I recently got the Three 5G broadband with Huawei CPE PRO2 router from the store (UK). All services worked but not the PlayStation network - Tried port forwarding rules etc and still nothing! But was working on my phone as hotspot perfectly! Spent 3 days dealing with this and finally cracked it.
The router came with default 3internet APN settings. I by chance changed it to three.co.uk and it worked. Immediately! (Feel like an idiot when messing around for days! Issue was sorted in 30 seconds lol) Anyone know why this is the case? I thought would share it just in case others having similar issues.
Also noticed the Huawei CPE2 PRO gives a slower speed compared to my Poco F3 in the exact same spot (I am stood next to router and have disabled WiFi and using my own TP-LINK M4 Deco mesh.. I am using the Deco in access point mode with Huawei WiFi network switched off) Please can someone advise if the signal strength in router is lower than phone by design? (I.e. different antenna) or is this something to do with bands? Thank you for reading!
