I recommend you check out another video here: ua-cam.com/video/HuPxZOq5lAc/v-deo.html This is a really cool device that can keep your tech in great condition.
This B525 router is not VoLTE capable which means it will turn to 3G or less once a call is ongoing via the wired phone. I own one and generally agree with this review. Great video!
You can tweak the settings in your Huawei B525 router by flashing the lastest firmware and de-branding it. You can select LTE Bands, and lock your router to a cell tower for faster speed.
Helpful vid. Do people ever tell you that you speak really quietly? I thought you were whispering for some reason. Max volume on my phone and I still had to concentrate.
Hi CustardDonut, Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I am working hard to try to improve with each video, this was made a while ago and hopefully my audio is a bit better in more recent content? Im going to try to be clearer and louder for my next video that I am filming :) Also I am happy to hear that the vid was helpful. Have a great day.
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I can't provide a link as this antenna isn't available to buy anymore . It was just a regular 4g vehicle antenna if that helps .
I am very new to the concept of leaving a comment so I hope I am doing this correctly. I have a Huawei-B525s model is B525 -028A now off-contract on a 4G Vodafone SIM. You mention I can use an old-style conventional phone if plugged in to the phone port. I fail to get this to work. Would you be able to help me with this...
Hi Leo, to make it work on my device, I plugged in the sim card, then plugged the phone into the device using the phone cable. I got a dial tone right away. I dont have the router anymore. As long as the sim card has credit or a plan for phone calls as well? I only used it a couple of times as phone. Good luck let me know if you get it working
Good question. I did not, just the one antenna cable plugged into one side. You can activate and chose where you want the signal to come from in the settings. Didn't see to effect the performance too much
@@jevoncooper295 I could work better, I am not sure BUT I can confirm that using this setup with the antenna I was able to boost my signal significantly which increased by speed and reliability by quite a lot.
Usually I happy when the internet works after plugging in the cable and turning on the power button. Thanks for the product review. Its all very well explained. ^_^
Hi MooksieYT - Thanks for watching! For this video i used the LIFX LED light strip and it was attached to the back of my chair to light up behind me. It did actually turn out a lot more blue than I wanted but its something different at least. Its a bit of trial and error I guess
Hi there South Africa here🇿🇦 do mind telling me why mine say internet (registration failed) coz I've been struggling for a month now please I need your help🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching, Im not sure how to fix your error sorry. This error did not present for me with this device. Could be an issue with your service provider OR it could be that the router was locked to one provider? Good Luck, I hope you are able to get it working.
A modem connects to the internet and then you use a router to direct that internet to other devices. I think the term these days is often used interchangeably - especially with a 4G device like this which will access the internet and also work as a gateway - so its a modem because it provides access directly to the internet and its also working as a router because you can plug in multiple devices through WIFI or the Ethernet ports. Thanks for watching.
Hi iam trying a 4g sim on my box an it works jus not getting tru wit the phone to work! It was working wit a company plan but iam try another sim an only getting the wifi to work not the phone!! Any suggestions?
Hello, so you want to say, that this particular router can use its own sim card for calls if i plug in usual landline telephone? and I'll be able to use the same sim card for 4G purpose and also phone calls? woooow if this is true then really WOW it it true?
The reason that "optus" shows up on my version of this router is because the router came part of an optus 4G plan. It would not appear in your router settings if you did not purchase through optus. Hope that helps :)
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it - I have not had personal experience in using the B535 but I am sure it also works fine. I have had mostly positive expeirences with the B525 and it comes with the USB port and the phone port which is not included in the 535. As such if you want to use either of these features I would go with the 525. - if you are just after raw Ethernet speed, I believe that the 535 is better being CAT 7 whereas the 525 is CAT 6 but most normal users would not notice the difference.

That is super helpful extra info: Thank you for watching
It has Volte option
I purchased this router back in August 2019. This device is a beast in case of signal reception. Plus it has dual band.
You can tweak the settings in your Huawei B525 router by flashing the lastest firmware and de-branding it. You can select LTE Bands, and lock your router to a cell tower for faster speed.
That's good to know, thanks
Can you send a download link?

@@BeforeYouBuyGuy I thought your voice was great - am a bit sick of people yelling and not enunciating properly. I could understand your every word!
@@BeforeYouBuyGuy I wondered about the hushed voice too - it sounds like you're telling us amazing secrets! 🙂
Excellent review! The small antenna seems hardly worth bothering with but the rooftop one is for sure. Any risk of a lightning strike though?
Possible I guess. Didn't happen to me, used like this for about 18 months
Excellent review video, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
could you put to description the link where to buy external antenas
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I can't provide a link as this antenna isn't available to buy anymore . It was just a regular 4g vehicle antenna if that helps .
Is it best to use 5dbi or 10dbi specs on the small antennas?
I've seen these two options available when you order that kind of small antennas.

Those two external antenna conectors - are they for wifi or gsm signal?
Its gsm, when I used the antennas, the phone signal was boosted significantly. cheers for watching
hi there how did you split your cables from your big antenna to go into both ports of your router
Good question. I did not, just the one antenna cable plugged into one side. You can activate and chose where you want the signal to come from in the settings. Didn't see to effect the performance too much
@@BeforeYouBuyGuy ok cool but wouldn't external cellphone booster work better? Reason I'm asking is because I need to improve the signal on my router
@@jevoncooper295 I could work better, I am not sure BUT I can confirm that using this setup with the antenna I was able to boost my signal significantly which increased by speed and reliability by quite a lot.
Can this be used as a router with wired input from internet provider also?
Usually I happy when the internet works after plugging in the cable and turning on the power button. Thanks for the product review. Its all very well explained. ^_^
Thank you for your comment Michelle : Glad to help
Hello, can you connect another router (like tp-link or d-link) on this model, to be like range extender?
Yes this should be no problem. There are Ethernet ports at the back or u could connect wirelessly as well.
Love the background in the intro. I am also trying to get a better background for my videos. What lights are you using?

What's the difference between modem and router? Both of them deliver wifi connection. Im just bothered. Thanks!

Hello, can this printer used for printer sharing?
Yes you can - you can connect a printer to the network via Ethernet or wireless
Which one is better , huawei b525s-23a or b525s- 65 or b525s-95a

What antenna did you use?
They dont sell it any more but it was just a generic 4g antenna that is normally used for cars.
@@BeforeYouBuyGuy thanks
How the did you open the antena ports?
There is a plastic plate at the back, when you remove you can get to the antenna
@@BeforeYouBuyGuy ah yes i managed to pry it open with a knife thanks
@@GloriaTheAnimator I had the same problem - it looks like it should slide open, but really it levers open.

4g only on this one. No support for 5g
@@BeforeYouBuyGuy Thanks Cap. Kudos to a very helpful and informative video
Sir how to switch off Wi-Fi signal in this router if needed ??? Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
You should be able to do this in the setting menu after logging into the router, thanks for watching
Does this modem support a guest network wifi?
I do not believe this is an included feature on this router. Thanks for stopping by
