As the upgraded successor to Huawei 5G CPE Pro, the new and more powerful 5G Router Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 is available recently in the markets. The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 comes with the model number H122-373, which was introduced in early 2020 and now is for sale in China and some European countries.
Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 Specifications
Like the predecessor, Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 is SIM unlocked for global use. Alternatively, the 5G router can also be purchased together with a contract or with a contract extension. The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 is a high-quality and very well-equipped 5G router for stationary use. The chipset of the Huawei 5G router is the Huawei Balong 5000 chipset, combined with the Huawei Gigahome WLAN chipset. A special feature in comparison with other router models is the integrated active fan, and according to Huawei sayings, this should work very quietly.
Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 supports various 5G NR frequency bands including bands n1/n3/n5/n/7/n28/n38/n40/n41/n77/n78/n79. According to Huawei, the theoretical maximum data rates of up to 3.6 GBit/s in download and 250 MBit/s in upload over 5G. When working on 4G LTE networks, 1.6 GBit/s can still be reached in the downlink and 150 MBit/s in the uplink. In addition, the 5G router even supports the 5G standalone standard.
The WiFi module in the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 supports the latest WiFi 6 standard and can therefore easily forward the high mobile speeds to modern end devices. In theory, up to 2.4 Gbit/s are possible in the 5 GHz band and up to almost 600 Mbit/s in the 2.4 GHz band. The router can connect up to 128 devices at the same time. Since the Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 also supports WiFi mesh with “HiLink Mesh”, the WiFi network can be expanded accordingly if required.
Like the Huawei 5G CPE Pro, Huawei has also installed two RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connections, one of which also works as a WAN port if required, i.e. here you can connect the router to a DSL modem, for example.
