Hi there I am able to get 5g with Three (provider) in the UK, antenna is nearby with little obstruction as well - at the moment i get pretty solid 4G speeds (up to 35 down and 19 up). I would like to avoid the Hauwei devices (which is what Three offer), so was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend me an alternative router? I would like to get the max 5g up/down speeds I can with the router.

 

so far Ionly know of this router -  https://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/mobile-broadband/lte-gateways/R7100LG.aspx#tab-techspecs - what woudl your guys assesment of it be?  Look forward to seeing which devices you guys suggest!

Not sure on the 5G side but i got a B535 and love it, have had over 70meg at one point.

Edited the original post - would prefer to avoid Hauwei, and Hauwei AI cube is the only one Three bundle with their 5g.

 

Found this but idk if its good enough or not - https://www.htc.com/uk/5g/htc-5g-hub/

turns out the HTC 5g hub probbably isn't available on its own -

 

at the moment I'm looking for a sim card router that matches or surpasses the Hauwei AI Cube in terms of speed (both download and upload) but I'm not completely sure which specs to be comparing between devices.

So this is Three's 5g device (Vodafones also uses a hauwei dvice for their GigaCube which has identical specs afaik)

Would anyone happen to know if its really a 5G device and not a 4G LTE device? if it's the latter, it would open up a lot more options for myself (I'm guessing actaul true 5g speed devices will launch later on) - would anyone be able to
