HUAWEI B618 LTE-A router discussion thread.

OP updated with band info as follows:

Both the 22D and 65D support bands:
1 - FDD 2100 MHz (Cell C, MTN, Vodacom)
3 - FDD 1800MHz (Cell C, MTN, Neotel, Telkom, Vodacom)
7 - FDD 2600MHz (none)
8 - FDD 900MHz (MTN, Vodacom)

The 22D supports the following bands in addition to the common list:
20 - FDD 800MHz (none)
38 - TDD 2600Mhz (Rain)

The 65D supports the following bands in addition to the common list:
5 - FDD 850Mhz (none)
28 - FDD 700MHz (none)
40 - TDD 2300MHz (Telkom)

In addition to the above Vodacom has LTE spectrum in band 255 - 5800MHz (not supported by this router).
So for Telkom 65D is the right choice. All other networks 22D would suffice.

Small necro :)

Is there no flash utility that could flash the 22D -> 65D? May be a stupid Q, so apologies to the pros on MyBB, but I recently was forced to switch from CellC-> Telkom and am sure I have a 22D. I understand it uses the 1800Mhz but it's not optimal.

It's a hardware thing, not software

Possibly because of the increase in coverage - so people have started using their devices instead of selling them.

And the fact that there are more sim-only options available now. Was also gonna sell mine...
 
HELP - Huawei B618s-22d - auto power on.
How do I configure this to auto power on after load shedding?
I have to press the power button to switch the device on after power loss.
Is there a config option to enable auto power on?

Don't know about the auto-power on...

Maybe get one of those Huawei battery packs or UPS to keep it on.

Don't know that it matters, have a 65d, and when power comes back after loadshedding, it switches on. I'd rather it did not, but yeah ...
