ZTE MC888 Ultra

Hi Guys not sure if you can help but i am trying to find out which model came first the MC888 or the MC888 Ultra?
I am confused because the Ultra at the time of writing appears to be alot cheaper than the MC888. I had the MC888 for just over a year until the unit locked up and could not be restored (returned to Amazon) the MC888 that i purchased came with a two year warranty so i was lucky.

I am now looking for a new sim router, I was impressed with the zte 888, the only issues i had with it was the power supply was under volting and after i sourced a more expensive supply it worked great until it locked up. The zte mc 888 ultra does have a 2.5 gig port which my computer would support, has anyone any experience of the zte mc888 Ultra?
 
MC888 was the first released unit, it comes with X62 and 160Mhz Wi-Fi 6 plus mesh.
Then ZTE has released:

MC888D (hw refresh of plain 888), same specs
MC888Pro (same X62, but router stuff is more powerful, it has NFC and better Wi-Fi BW)
MC888Ultra (like MC888 but with better Wi-Fi and 1x2.5Gbit LAN port)
MC888A Ultra (like MC888Ultra but with X65 instead of X62)

MC888A Ultra in EU is currently sold by Lidl Austria (H3AT provider, but no branding on case or webui) at very nice price :)
 
Thanks for your help Stich86, I am trying to understand some of the words in the snapshot below such as SCC0 and SCC1 and what does state mean is that the number of connections? I noticed under 5G that UL configured shows 1 but below this under SCC0 shows UL as 0. What signal strength figures should i be looking at?
Quiet pleased with the Ultra more so that it has 2.5 ethernet ports. Are there any additional pages, I have the cell locking page, bug bears are having to re login to the web browser, time out seems pretty quick, and no settings to switch the router off at night only the leds

SCC stands for secondary carrier (it means Carrier Aggregation), in your case you have 4G LTE CA plus 5G CA. UL=1 means that bands is used also for uplink
