- A 4G SIM - on Three "3" Network Value for money is great at £16 a month for unlimited data (they say £21 on the website, but in the shop they offered me a special deal) - no phone line rental too!!... It cost me £100 for the new router. You can download stream 2 videos at once while uploading 2 other videos... This is by far the cheapest long-term solution for "useful" internet speeds I have found!! - I'm happy and wanted to share this solution with you guys and girls!! #isp #huawei #router
I also have one of these routers from Three. After messing around with it I found 1 antenna is for Wi-Fi the other is for 4G. Also when using the antennas its better to login to the GUI and set it to External as by default it will set itself to auto. Sometimes it can default back to the internal even though you have external antennas fitted.
Very good advice! - Thank you!!!
@@DubiousEngineering no worries :)
Hi - where are the settings to change to external from auto? I've logged into the router but cannot find it. Thanks
Okay just got mine today. With just the standard built in antenna on the ground floor with a middling signal I'm getting 70 down and 20 up but if I put the sim in my phone and walk outside I can get over 100 down and over 30 up. Definitely some optimising to do!
hahah... enjoy your optimising! ..lt takes a while :-) ... try the garden!
used my own equitment with unlimted data with 3 have outside external antennas got with 34 ping mine resulted 82mbps down and 10mb upload bye bye slow fiber plusnet happy days cant wait get rid of plusnet :)
Its a nice feeling to stumble acrross a good solution!! :-)
Thank you so much for this video, it really is helpful. I have been suffering with poor internet connection for years due to being in a rural area, which has made it very hard to work at times. I am so glad I have discovered this, I just tested an EE 4G phone around my house to find out that we get really good signal. So I have just ordered this box, now going to get the EE unlimited plan, sadly according to three website the signal is poor here. So won't be getting a £16 a month deal, but still I will get fast internet, yaaaaay.
great to hear Dane! ... we’re still very happy with this hardware... we sometimes suffer from a little slowdown, but I believe that’s due to 3 networks getting a beating due to everyone at home :-) ... take care and thanks for your kind words!
Adjust everything to manual network selection and lte only and test every band combination, do not set to auto, it will be faster.
I’ll have a try today... thanks for the top tips!!!
same set up, external antennas, 77mb down, 33mb up (4G), best move I've ever made
Barry Clack that’s great to hear!! ... I’m thinking of putting it outside in an ice-cream tub to get better performance
What antennas do you have? My theoretical speed in my area is 120 down and 60 up which I've had in the past from my phone. I would like to maximise this with decent antennas for my b535 I just ordered
Best part about none fixed broadband... you can take it with you in the van.
dude... exactly... at the top of a mountain by a mast with a cell tower... 300gbps... boom :-)
Interesting solution. Ideal for the camper van too! 👍
Damn right!! ... actually I’m thinking that I should put this outside on a pole in the garden in a big ice-cream box to protect it from the weather!!
@@DubiousEngineering you should try speed testing via Ethernet to the router, might be a little faster as you're going from wireless to wireless so to speak.
yeah.. I didn’t mention it, but the tests were with the computer plugged into the router.. I should have said that...
@@DubiousEngineering still not bad. I'm tempted to do this
i get around 20 down 4 up without antenas but my ping is around 100 average :/
Oooh... that’s not a great ping. Can you put the unit outdoors in the garden to see if it works better outside? Then perhaps put it in an ice cream box to protect from rain etc
You think 100 ping is bad ? I get on average 600-1000 ping.
Wow... I’m thankfully seeing 40-60 ping
Just installed mine today. Signal bars all 5 lit. Ping 41. Download 7 upload 14. Seriously not impressed. Tried it around the House. Best signal was in the loft where all lights were lit. Anywhere else in the house I get 4 bars with around 7 to 10 down and around 7 to 10 up. It's going back in the box and is being returned
Awww man.... that sucks. It may be worth trying it outside... both front and back garden. Either way... that sucks!
@@DubiousEngineering Yeah gonna try the outside Ariel. Just paid £78 for one. Strange as our phones inside the house get 30 plus speeds on different networks. Connect them to this and it's the same low speeds. been on the phone with them today and suggested they may have sent me a refurbished rubbish one. lol. I'll test it tomorrow with the Ariel. If no luck, atleast i have an Ariel. lol
Hi, do u think Huawei B535 is good for streaming IPTV
I would say yes as thats what I do with mine!! :-)
The signal strength is not important ... The band is more important .. can you lock the band on this ? What bands is this operating ?
Good question... it has a manual setup, but I’m not sure it will let you fix a cell and band
So I got this router from the store and the download was alright 10-20mbps down but the upload speed was giving me from 0-1mbps
All my other older Huawei routers gave me 10-30 down and 10-30 upload consistently. I took it to the warranty twice and they said the router was fine since it got a speedtest of 40 down and 7 up in their near perfect conditions. I made a complaint and had the router replaced. the same issue was still there and eventually i had to get a refund for the router.
This whole ordeal gives me the belief that the fault is on Huawei's end. Take this info with a grain of salt but i don't trust Huawei Routers as much anymore.
I had the Huawei b525 and a mobile one and they all achieved way better speeds than this new router.
interesting... thanks for the info... mine still does good enough speeds for me
Interesting how your upload speed dropped off with successive testing and an improve signal
Agreed!!! It’s still in the same place and serves us well... clearly more speed would be nice, but it’s more than good enough!!!
Thinking of getting this router. Whats your area like for 3 4g coverage? Mine says very good although on my phone 4g test i only get 5down 2 up and 90 ping(my phone)
I’m in a good spot... only a few hundred meters from a cell tower
@@DubiousEngineering thank you for the quick reply. Whats the difference of doing this to using mobile hotspot? Does this guarantee higher better up/down...
What about an outside HUAWEI B331 antenna to go with that HUAWEI Home-Hub.
Yes indeed... I’d love one for a better connection... the trouble is that would involve drilling holes in my wall and ladders etc... I’m gonna stick with my current speeds - they are quite acceptable! ... hope you are well mate and staying safe !! :-). All the best!
Catching up after our trip away.
Desmond's Donders how very kind to leave a note.. I hope you had a fun trip and the weather held out!
Just ordered one hope it's better than the TL-MR6400 which is going back to Amazon on Monday. Was only getting around 9Mbps with it. My phone with the same sim got nearly 40Mbps. Do you know how near you are to the THREE mast? You did well with £16 for unlimited. My THREE is £18
no idea how far away the mast is, I’ll do a little research. let me know how you get on with the new setup ... external antennas probably help!
What about the phone? I have xiaomi mi8 and on this phone I have 4g speed 8ms / s in the same place iphone has 30mb / s ..
Not sure I understand your question... sorry...
Did you ever get an external antenna?
Nooo... it works well as it is up in the attic...
Does anyone know how to make it faster recently my internet has been very slow and i dont know how to make it faster
that’s quite a generic question... what are you using for internet services?
@@DubiousEngineering three the same one in the video
You could change the aerials.
To see if it boost your speed.
CyberMaxPower I’m thinking to take it outside and put it in an ice cream tub in the garden on a pole :-)
Hey Howard - we're actually using a 4G LTE router for a temp-office space, the regus network provides only 50Mbps bandwidth, so we're augmenting the bandwidth with a TP-Link and an EE sim (best network for data speeds in the UK, we've found).
At one of our other sites, we were dependant on 4G links before we had fibre put in at great cost - try a proper external antenna, such as this: www.amazon.co.uk/Poynting-4G-XPOL-A0001-Cross-Polarised-Antenna/dp/B00C1DGFPS?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
I'd be surprised if you didn't see a massive improvement over those small gain (-3dB to -5dB by the looks of it) internal antennas.
Kai, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge... really appreciated!! Before I set out to buy a higher gain antenna, I may do some testing with this thing outside in a waterproof container... I have a feeling it will work so much better without a building in the way and I won’t have to spend much money to try it... wish me luck!!
Is there a link for where to purchase this from? Thanks :)
Sorry - just google it :-)
when the wifi came there no antenna came my mom said it just the wifi came nothink else
Yup, some models come without the antennas - I havent really found they make a huge difference...
Good day sir can I have the BAK file for backup?
Perhaps try their website or support group! :-)
Why I didn’t get the back things
Maybe because you didnt buy the package that has the back things
Ciao,ho un modem Huawei B715 come installo software per bloccare le bande LTE 1,3,7,20
Hello :-). Sorry I don’t understand Italian... take care :-).

Cheers and beers to you buddy
You watched to the end!! Thankyou :-)
@@DubiousEngineering always buddy
you superstar! ...
I didn't get antenna's with mine
sorry to hear... they definitely help!
I have the same router and 3MB’s help
take it outside to the garden and see how it does in the open air
Did you get it going in the end
Hi, did you get a smart tv to work from it?
Barbara Moakes oh yeah... no problem at all!!!
Hey, where did you purchase the router from?
I used amazon in the end... I investigated a few options and amazon had the fastest lead-time
Thing is, Stupid huawei, Will only give you 1-50mb So it could be as low as 1, but when they say it can go up to 300mb and connect 64 users, they are scamming, Awful huawei.
that’s interesting... I’m keen to hear more... there’s only two users here, and we haven’t achieved much more that 30-40MB/S... what’s the 50 limit?
@@DubiousEngineering It lasts for like 1m and then drops to 30 so there is no point xD
Guys I'm using same broadband and my speed get between 30-80mbps and then 5/10mins later it drops to 0.5-2mbps
I feel like three are throttling speeds
Any idea why it does that?
@@ButtonsDefault are you getting your internet from 3
Doesn’t happen here... check the internal settings for the three connection... make sure it is connecting to the correct three server ... just dig through the internal router settings and look at the three forums- there was a note there - I seem to remember is very similar to yours
I have this new router the download and upload is good but i like to game and the ping is quite high any tips or tricks to lower the ping?
Put it outside in the garden on a mast and drill a hole in the wall so you can run the network cable directly to your computer... that should give you the best ping rate :-)
Me too
@@DubiousEngineering hi, using the ethernet cable provided in the huawei box will help with the speed/ping or should i use only connecting by wifi?
I wired the modem to another wireless router that located in the middle of house
I put The modem upstair near window. I shut down the hotspot. This will increase the reception due to location and power allocation.
That’s actually a great idea!!!
Will this be alot faster than tethering?
I would say yes... but depends what you’re tethered to :-)
@@DubiousEngineering just a laptop and smart TV. I moved to a new house just before lockdown. Getting internet is providing tricky haha
Richard Taylor ... yeah, this device will likely be about 2x faster than tethering ... at least that’s what happened for me... a definite improvement and I will now never need to buy or install a wire phone line :-). Happy days!!
I moved and it took 2 weeks for bt to activate the phone line for adsl2+. This was a few days after the lockdown. I just tethered from my EE sim and got nearly 100 download. May have to switch to 4g internet
Can this router work in India?
Do you have 4g in India?
@@DubiousEngineering yes
Then I think you are good ... this unit is not locked to any network and takes SIM cards... so should all work fine. Maybe check with your local phone provider
How can we buy this router?
Please tell me price of this router.
About £200 in UK. It’s not cheap but it solves all my problems!
you havent got a clue
Cos I was sniffing glue…
@@DubiousEngineering while you were having a poo?
@@GoAMPify sitting on the loo and thinking of you 😀
@@DubiousEngineering 😂😂😂
Three is rubbish. EE are the best
Haha! - Maybe in your area!
