With the new Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 being available now in the UK, we decided to look back at the older generation being the Huawei 5G CPE Pro and see what's really changed!
With CAT-6, more WiFi bands, a smaller size AND a cheaper price, what's to complain about? maybe the lack of antenna ports?

The loss of external antenna is a massive game changer though for rural hilly areas. 1st gen seems like the upgrade tbh.

@eFones 2 года назад

Yes we do agree, it is unfortunate to lose the antenna functionality. Hopefully we can see it's return in some newer CPE models.

Great vid. thanks a lot. which one is better for gaming on PS4/5, or are they similar on that matter?

@eFones 3 года назад

It depends what is more important to you whilst gaming, downloads or ping. 3G/4G ping is notoriously unreliable as indoor signal is extremely varied. 5G is more stable however so if you are in an area with 5G coverage we would recommend the 5G CPE Pro 2, however if you are outside a 5G zone or if your 5G signal is not too strong then we would recommend the original 5G CPE Pro with an antenna. (Something like the AF9E antenna) Hope this helps :)

You can check where your nearest 5G mast is, if you are in an area with no coverage then I would not recommend it. If there is coverage, it just happens to be outside only you should be OK with an antenna attached & directed at the mast.

@fortunatonerio4488 3 года назад

CPE PRO and CPE PRO 2 if connected to the same tower, Im assuming the data speed would be the same. 5G signal is short range, so if the nearest 5G tower is 2KM+ away, the internal antenna of both device may not able to detect it at all. the advantage of having an external antenna you can point it to a specific tower and get a different speed result for 5G and 4G signal.

@architecturenorthltd7375 3 года назад

@mohammedalkhayat7888 3 года назад

I get download speeds between 450 to 600 Mbps and 100 upload using CPE pro. Question if I upgraded to CPE pro2 would I get even faster speeds? Because when I first got the device I used to get 600-800 that was about a year ago I'm guessing the more people start connecting to the same tower the slower it will become.

@eFones 3 года назад

It's dependant on a number of factors, in theory the CPE Pro 2 should be faster than the 1st generation but until you had it in your working conditions, it couldn't be guaranteed.

By the looks of it, the Pro 2 is shyte as it doesnt have an external antenna support and the power button is at the bottom. How I ever wish it could have the features of its 4G modems which has a telephone port, and 4 LAN ports, (1 of which is an internet port), an external antenna support, a USB 2.0 for connective storage devices for network file sharing, band /frequency locking etc. I guess I would have to wait more for such features to be available on 5G modems. The Huawei B525-65a that I have still rocks this features.

If you wish to connect your phone to one of these devices and access 5G bands, you will need a 5G compatible device. If you are using it with a computer, laptop or gaming console etc. you should have better access to 5G speeds compared to a 4G phone.
