Good Evening

I would like to know if someone can help me out with these two routers.
Im struggling to get info on the B535-932. The box reads Huawei 4G Router 3 Pro and i can get some of the specs from Huawei's website using that name, but im not sure if there are different models like we have with the B525 (23a & 65a)

The supported bands on their website states: LTE: B1 / B3 / B7 / B8 / B20 / B28 / B32 / B38, UMTS: B1 / B8
but they dont say anything about carrier aggregation, MIMO etc.

Can someone with more in depth knowledge please help me to compare these two routers. The installation will be in a remote location probably using two poynting lpda antennas. (@cavedog )?

Thank you very much
 
As far as I'm aware it is missing the telkom B40 band then.
 
Which is the better router? I know the B535 is CAT 7, compared to the B525 CAT 6, but not sure about bands and carrier aggregation details and in general which one would be better, and considering with the B525 you can attach antennas if not mistaken.

I have a B535.
It's a great Router. I don't have any issues with the device itself.
You can also attach an external antenna to it, but it works fine without it at my location.

I'm on Telkom and I am able to access, 1800Mhz, 2300 and 2100.

Cat 7 vs Cat 6 is just the LAN speed or connection. You need to have the specific network cable to be able to make use of 6 and 7. The Router is backwards compatible to previous LAN cable standards.

I've setup a fairly large Home network.
I'm running 2 PCs. 2 Mobile devices. A NAS and a Chromecast. I also use Spotify and my Phone to control Spotify on the PCs from the App.
Great Router.

Cat 6 and Cat 7 refers to the router's / modem's LTE category, and does not refer to LAN speed.

The higher the LTE category the higher the upload/download speeds the router / modem can obtain.

Seems my understanding was incorrect.
Thanks for the correction.
Here's what I found:
