How about a ZTE 5G CPE G5TS? Then you plug in some external antennas (not included with the device).
Should be a good choice for flexibility since it's also supported by most ISP fixed wireless broadband services.

I have been testing the ZTE 5G CPE G5TS, and it's really an awesome router. I can confirm I got Telkom 5G in the router working this was with my personal Telkom sim.
Just something to check: under VAS, if the 5G service is there, your SIM should be able to do 5G on a mobile & in a 5G router. I think you can call Telkom to activate this, but only if you get to speak with a support agent that knows what you are talking about.

Hey guys just keep in mind that the G5TS external antennas only support the higher TDD bands. In this case if you are using Telkom external band support would only be band 40 & N78.
I'm assuming Telkom is running most sites on NSA so you will need to make sure you are at least getting somewhat decent LTE bands 1 & 3 for anchoring.

Just checked under VAS on the 2TB sim, i have the below services listed.I have been testing the ZTE 5G CPE G5TS, and it's really an awesome router. I can confirm I got Telkom 5G in the router working this was with my personal Telkom sim.

I have had no luck with support agents or Telkom stores, some stores say it will work and try to sell me a 4G router and when i tell them the router is 4G they like no its 5G (no point in arguing), some stores say the 2TB will not work in a 5G router.
