Binning my Wired Fibre Broadband - Using a Huawei 4G Router (HUAWEI B535-232) Instead! Will it Work?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- This video has taken AGES to bring you - but here it is. I wondered it Three UK's 4G Home Broadband would work for me - could it better my standard Sky VDSL Fibre connection?
In this video, you'll see me unboxing the Huawei 4G Router (B535-232) - (UK amzn.to/3zN6XL6 ), Configuring it, and then putting it through a series of 'Real World' tests. Gaming. TV Streaming. Movie Streaming. Music and see how it works with my Sky Q.
The results are.. well... hmmm!
It's a long-ass video, but I try and cover as much as possible.
I hope you like this video, please give it a like and subscribe. :)

Been using mobile broadband for about 4-5 years now and don't think I'd ever go back.
I get around 35-55mbps and even this speed allows myself and another to play separate online games with around 40 ping and the woman watching youtube at 720p.
I like the portability more than I thought I would, it's so handy being able to take router anywhere you're staying and have home wifi.
I've also moved 2 times since getting the mobile broadband and it used to be such a song a dance with new home contracts and being without home wifi for 2-4 weeks for them to come set it up.
Now, just test speed at each window in new house and leave it at the best speed location, BOOM, you have wifi again after 10 mins. That was the game changer for me since I rent and move every few years
Could you tell us what router brand and model are you using old? Do you use an antenna?
@@neosir01 I have 2 different ones that I used, I bought an archer tp link 600 that was 4g+ and recently my provider offered me a free update to Huawei b535_2577. I really couldn't say 1 is better than the other so my recommendation would be go with whatever one you find cheaper as they both provided about the same download speed and they both came with external screw on antenna. They don't work at all if you screw 1 antenna on incorrectly I found out after a lot of head scratching why there was no signal 😂
Just bought the Huawei b535 today from carbootsale for 5£ and inside the flat where I live in Dundee I get full coverage with 4g+ (I use VOXI)where with none of the phones(some android and some apple) i don't get 4g+ most of the times the phones stay on 3g so very Happy with the B535
I think Duggee's reaction says it all 😆
It's a great idea in theory. May recommend it to someone I know who has just moved house and hasn't set up their WiFi provider yet, could be helpful as a back up.
I get 50mb download and 15mb upload with 3 where I live. Very tempting to switch from Virgin Media to 4G home broadband. Currently paying £48 a month on Virgin, I barely use the phone, mainly watch freeview TV channels and use a FireTV stick for Netflix and Prime Video.
Me too, I'm paying 61, kids moving out so no gamers and extra appliances.
At last, a review that speaks the truth and doesnt mislead.
That will be perfect here in our country we have a unlimited data offer about £10 per month and our LTE here can reach up to 300 Mbps down and 50 to 60Mbps up.
just bought one of these in Kettering UK and im getting 67mbps download speed and 6mbps upload. plenty for streaming in 4k, gaming and everything else. still haven't added the external aerial yet. its on the Smarty network which is 3. struggling to find a range extender for downstairs. will wait and see what improvement the aerial brings first.
Can only dream about getting that 300 mbps download, no chance.....
Love to cancel Virgin 135 mpbs connection they keep putting prices up all the time, be paying £60+ per month from april 2024.
Fibre is available where I live - but waaaayyyyy too expensive for my data needs. So i've settled on Fixed LTE with the H525 router. I was quite contented with 20Mbps down and about 7 up. Until I had to change the same at another house. There it was dismal so I installed an external MIMO directional antenna pointed at the tower using a MR600 router. Speeds of >100Mbps down and around 40Mbps up are regularly seen with an average around 60Mbps down. I've installed another external antenna at the work space and am seeing 60Mbps down and 43Mbps up on a regular basis.
That's awesome!!
You won't get 4K streaming with those download specs - the channels will be dropping the resolution to match the poor line speed.
Using Ghostbusters 2016 for testing 4k streaming is the only good use for that film. Although you did say it was like a cheap knock off copy so maybe you agree?
I have had so many problems with this router. Looked on the huawei support page and I am not the only one. It worked great for a few months. When I say great, I mean I got about 15mb per second. 15mbps is not fast but compared to how it works now a few months later 15mb was amazing. Not it constantly drops connection. The signal streath is always on full bars but it seems there is a problem with the 3 network. I've seen on huaweis web page that many people are experiencing the same issues. I have tried various methods to rectify this including full resets. change system setting contacting three but the problem is an issue with the box that huawei have been made aware of for the last couple of years but have no intention of solving.
Do not buy this box if you have ID mobile or three as you will end up very disappointed
I got the B535 router with unlimited data on three since 2019, and I find holding my iPhone and router side by side (both with the same network) I get better speeds on my phone than the router. I back this up with the older version or the Heuwei router I got in 2018 which came with 40GB of data and the speed tests got 35mbps which now average 1-15mbps depending on the time.
Id like to try an external antenna to see if it helps but I suspect the speeds are more to do with the network load balancing the demand vs speed which may hit the unlimited plans more than the signal strength. For the price it’s still decent though
Similar to my experience. I live very close to a tower & the network is a little congested, but if I do a speed test at say 4.30am I get crazy fast speeds on my iphone 7, fastest was 207 Mbps while the fastest test ever with a Huawei B315 was about 89 Mbps, in round figures about double.
Now, Attach an external Ariel and the speed would triple.
No it won't mybe slower....
Hello every one i have B535-232 a 5ghz not listed on wifi listed anyone give me solution
Great video helped me set my router up, clear and easy,.
Thanks buddy . That means a lot!
I finished with Virgin Media due to it being expensive and not that fast, I now use the LTE2122GR with Three, I get a 4G connection, and it just works. And, the connection I get is about 51Mpbs.
I just signed up with Three 4G+ broadband, had same model. And.... my speed 5-10mbps :(
Great video bud
Thanks for watching fella! Hope the rewire is going well!
Perfect, this was the video I was looking for, cheers!
Happy to help! 👍
Thank for your vedio and please let me know how to connect to network switch..
Literally just plug it in to one of the network ports
Pathetic slow speed bad luck hope I get much much much better, brother getting around 50mbps from 4g on much more expensive router, thats minimal speed really.
He's not tried 5g yet....
**KIP** you need to add the screw on antenna, when you've done that try the device on window cills facing different directions
Does it have carrier aggregation?
Yes
as soon as you got that first speed test you should have given up on the idea of this video hahaha
I'm persistent! 😂
Going back to the min Huawei MiFi device did you keep the gifgaf sim in in and it continued to work ok???
(I want to come off of Three net work and go for a less costly sim but worried to do so incase it doesn’t work ?!)
Yup!
Download speed 4.3!! “not the quickest in the world” You meant not the slowest right?
I said what I said
What a shame, maybe 5G will be better ? I’ve got smart camera’s and a CCTV NVR which I need running all day. Would it work with Google Nest Wi-Fi ?
I don't see why not!
Ive ordered mine hoping it wont disconnect from my series x like my other router did
Hope it worked!
How did it go with series x ?
Or just use your mobile phone contract
You are an entertaining fun person to watch but dont beat yourself with that connection, 1Mb in 2021/2022 is absolutely savage, you need roughly 5Mb-Mb to stream 1080p
You are genuinely better off with ADSL2 or what they call essential 'fibre' in most companies now aka copper wire to the green box that then has a fibre relay.
*whispers* watch my newer videos.. I've got 1Gb fibre now. 😊
Wow thats werry slow 4g 😀😀😀😀
I know, right!
@@JimmyJenks I’ve no idea - same network and default settings on both devices
@@JimmyJenks I’ve no idea buddy- as with anything mobile phone related signal varies a lot depending on environmental conditions especially when there is a lot of time between videos! 👍🏼
So. 6 minutes of waffle and repetition before even getting it out of the box. Stopped watching there because I've seen these time-wasting, revenue-harnessing things before. Find a decent review with a bit of technical weight and get twice the value for half the time! Or less!
Thanks for watching Alan, have an amazing day! 👍🏼
I use the latest 4g plus 3 network routter, I get around 150 to 200 mps and I pay 15 quid a month, fuck fiber I paid nearly 50 quid for fiber and getting nearly the same, I say if you are in a city or in a good 4g or 5g signal zone go for it,but if you are in a village or low reception zone then is not good for you. I couldnt be happier, I save 35 quid every month towards my holidays,
by the way tha routter device is really old and outdated, 3 network no longer uses that routter,
