Fake 5G router problem in South Africa

A MyBroadband investigation has found that the catalogues of several major online marketplaces in South Africa contain numerous routers falsely advertised with 5G capability.

We recently searched for the most affordable 5G routers in the country and came across interesting listings of such products priced at under R1,000.
 
"Bob Shop operations manager Jacques Jordaan said the marketplace had promptly removed the listings and asked the sellers of the implicated products for clarification on the titles they used to describe the devices."

Good action from BoB shop, nice one!

My problem with Bob shop is it takes any amateur 5 minutes to find dodgy deals on their site. Reused Microsoft keys for sale anyone? They need to be proactive instead of waiting for a Mybb article to act.

This is why I only deal with reputable sellers on BoBshop and not newbies or anyone with a rating of less than 98%
