Huawei 4G+ CPE 5 Router, B636, LTE SIM Router, Cat 7+, DL 400Mbps/UL 200Mbps, Wi-Fi 6 AX3000, 4 LAN Ethernet Ports, Viewed Wi-Fi Diagnosis, Industrial Grade Signal Coverage

I bought the HUAWEI B636 specifically to use in bridge mode, and I can confirm it is working exactly as needed. I’m using it with my Unifi UDM SE as a backup WAN connection, and it successfully provides a public IP - tested and working fine on both Three and EE networks. I upgraded from the HUAWEI B535, and this model is a noticeable step up. The B535 is an LTE Cat 7 router (300 Mbps DL / 100 Mbps UL), while the B636 is LTE Cat 13, supporting up to 400 Mbps download and 200 Mbps upload, delivering stronger carrier aggregation, faster uplinks, and overall better stability under load. While I could have gone for a 5G router, this 4G unit is more than enough for my needs - stable, responsive, and great value. It’s also fully unlocked, so any SIM works out of the box. Highly recommended if you’re after a reliable, bridge-mode-compatible LTE router for Unifi or other dual-WAN setups at home or in a lab environment.

Weird device. The specs say 400mb DL and 200mb UL but I am getting 30-60mb DL and 400mb UL from various BB line speed test sites. Not sure what’s that all about? I Mainly purchased this unit as a backup for my BB line just in case it fails. To that end I inserted a 3 data sim which seems to work well. It does allow me to surf the internet and stream online TV services at the same time with no buffering. Setup was easy and it took minutes for me to get connected. Access to the units setting is via web page you log into via a web browser. Not sure how unit would fair with long term use as for now its back in its box awaiting the day its required But it certainly works very well in my area so I definitely recommend this unit.

Great speed. I can stream movie in high fidelity on projector without any interruption. I usually dont write reviews. This works well for a small home. the device is small enough to carry around between homes and countries. highly recommend.

Huawei CPE5 B636 This router was returned as it didn't have VoLTE calling as it was described as offering when purchased. Current listings have been corrected as far as I can see. A shame as the WIFI signal was exceptional and the device performed brilliantly in all other respects. A small and very light 4G router which has provision for external antennas, though these weren't necessary as I'm lucky in having a strong-ish Vodafone 4G signal which consistently produced speeds around 50 - 60 Mbps, peaking at about 100mbs. One drawback is lack of QoS provision in the interface. I stream internet Radio which sometimes needs protecting from simultaneous heavy LAN traffic. Overall, a very neat and impressive router. The RJ11 phone socket is not backed up by the provision of VoLTE which would have allowed my SIM card to be used for calls and which I intended for a landline replacement house phone. Without this, the socket is only really of use for VoIP as normal phone calls would use 3G, now being switched off. However, this feature does work if you have a SIM that still offers 3G. The device switches down to 3G to make a call and this worked with an O2 SIM. The call quality was poor, though. This router offers WIFI6, though I couldn't test this as I have no device with this feature.

Ease to setup, function very well, its the best buy for the value, I recommend-Good product

...

This product is not as powerful as the specs claim. But this product is still a good value for the price.

Top Banana! Better than my Huawei mca801. Easy set up. Good serial and got rid of those pesky tsf connectors on the Huawei. Delivery okay.

Ich nutze den HUAWEI 4G CPE 5 (B636) jetzt schon eine ganze Zeit und bin wirklich sehr zufrieden. Gerade wenn man keinen festen DSL- oder Glasfaseranschluss hat oder flexibel bleiben möchte, ist dieser LTE-WLAN-Router eine richtig gute Lösung. Die Einrichtung ist kinderleicht: Nano-SIM rein, einschalten, fertig. Innerhalb weniger Minuten war bei mir alles einsatzbereit – ganz ohne technisches Gefummel. Der Router baut schnell eine stabile Verbindung auf und liefert bei mir konstant gutes Internet. Die angegebenen bis zu 400 Mbit/s sind natürlich abhängig vom Netz, aber für Streaming, Home Office und normales Surfen reicht die Leistung locker aus. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist Wi-Fi 6. Mehrere Geräte gleichzeitig nutzen das WLAN problemlos, ohne dass es spürbar langsamer wird. Smartphones, Laptops, Smart-TVs – alles läuft stabil und zuverlässig. Auch die Reichweite ist ordentlich, selbst durch mehrere Wände hindurch. Das Design ist schlicht und modern, der Router steht unauffällig in der Wohnung und arbeitet angenehm leise. Die Oberfläche zur Verwaltung ist übersichtlich, sodass man Einstellungen schnell findet, auch ohne tiefere Technikkenntnisse. Was mir besonders gefällt: die Zuverlässigkeit. Kein ständiges Neustarten, keine Abbrüche – einmal eingerichtet, läuft das Ding einfach. Genau das erwarte ich von einem Router. Fazit: Ein leistungsstarker, stabiler und unkomplizierter LTE-Router mit modernem WLAN-Standard. Ideal für flexibles Internet zu Hause oder im Büro. Für mich eine klare Empfehlung und absolut verdiente 5 Sterne.

Facile à configurer et très bon débit.

Très bon routeur pour carte sim, peu encombrant, frugal en énergie, commode, avec de très bonnes performances de connexion. Paramétrage et interface fluides. Seul regret: que Huawei ne joigne pas une paire d'antennes externes ou a minima n'indique pas la référence d'un ou de plusieurs modèle/s à préférer.

One of the best router for sim card. I was having before one portable router from Tp-link (I paid 160€) and he was losing signal all the time, on the paper he was having 600mb/s but in reality maximum speed was around 70mb/s tested in the city in good conditions. My conclusion after purchasing Huawei router is never go again for Tp-link or other brand's. The signal with Huawei is just great, it's fast, I reach almost 240mb/s in the same conditions like Tp-link.

Super
