Huawei B525 Band Optimization

[cavedog]

I am awaiting the delivery of a B618 next week for my Mom to use Fixed LTE from Afrihost. using MTN to keep in contact video call wise with my brothers in Australia. I have no experience with LTE and the setup of that on routers to get better speed. I did a Speedtest with my cellphone on the MTN network at her place and I got 20 odd mbps download and about 9mbps upload. I'm assuming I should get at least that with the B618.

However, if I need to tweak and try get things going better, would I be able to do that using this tool you posted here or was that only for the B525? Oh and is there a version for Mac (sorry)

Yes any Huawei router except for the B595 which is a device on it's own.

With MTN Fixed LTE you can set it on Auto and it should do it's thing. With Telkom you would want to play around with the Bands

Not really, in my case I constantly switch between 1800, 2100 and 2300 to get the best depending if you are downloading or uploading.
1800 is normally best for upload and 2300 for down, in my case anyway.
