Rural folk - buy this! - This is a review for the ZTE 5G CPE MC888. I live in the country and we have terrible wired internet, and no fibre broadband available here. 4G coverage is excellent, so we've been using '4G broadband' for a few years now, via a Huawei mifi device and a SMARTY card. We ended up needing two cards/devices as our walls are thick and the signal wasn't getting through. Wanted to get rid of having two devices, and use a better router with a mesh system...... I did LOADS of research before getting this!! I'd tried a cheaper Archer MR 600 CAT6 4G device first, which just got very hot, kept dropping out and was disappointing! Sent it back, did more research and came up with this. I'm using a SMARTY card in it, and I'm on the edge of a 5G network, so thought I'd get the 5G capability, even if we can't get 5G just yet. As I thought, I'm only getting 4G, BUT the speeds I'm getting are still amazing compared to the old wired BT internet, and to the SMARTY card used in the mifi device. Setting up the device was easy. It works best in a very specific spot on a window sill in the living room. I moved it all over the house to see if anywhere else was better: upstairs was worse strangely. Bought a set of three Deco mesh hubs (TP-link Deco X10 AX1500, £144.99 on desertcart), as on its own the ZTE couldn't get through our very thick walls. The set up works perfectly. The first Deco hub connects to the ZTE router directly, and becomes Hub number 1 (hidden under an old 50's radio's shell in the photo!) which then sends the signal to the other Deco hubs. I now have a brilliant signal all over the house, with two Decos, and one extra one which we only use when people stay in the Granny annex. We've had this set up for a couple of months now, and we only lost signal once, when it was chucking it down with rain/stormy. We've had bad weather since then, and all has been well. Copes with three devices at once streaming films with no problem. No problems with Teams meetings for work, with lots of people on the meeting, and sharing presentations etc. It's fairly pricey (£212.49 when I bought it), but so far this has been money well spent. Review: Functions perfectly - Very pleased with the router: although used, it is in mint cosmetic condition and is functioning perfectly. It carries the 3 logo but this didn't surprise me as this seems a common source. I am upgrading from a vintage Huawei B310 and am getting considerably improved signal reception and higher download speeds for 4g, and the bonus of “future - proofing” for when 5g arrives in my area. ## Features - Enjoy 5G high speed with Qualcomm Snapdragon X62, supporting all 5G networks, you can enjoy a high-speed internet connection; LTE+5G ENDC downlink rate reaches 3.8Gbps. - Wi-Fi 6 Technology – Support any 64 WiFi enabled devices, including your laptop, tablet, phone, gaming console and many more!

A few other reviews/questions seem to indicate that it is not possible. I tried several methods to get an aerial to work without success. There is a company that will fit proper aerial connectors to the unit ( online search). My view would be to forget aerials. **Q: Is the mc888 actually mc888 or mc801, the description is confusing** A: the zte 5g cpe MC888 is different from the Mc801 . externally the first difference is between the mc801 there are no external areal connections, and is fractionally bigger vertically due to the top gray difference. internally the 801 used a mediatek chipset the MC888 uses the QUALCOMM x62 data chip which is significantly faster, other changes are it 5g duel mode which allows true 5g data transfer speeds, i have owned both models in the past and can clearly see the difference. for best performance i still recommend using one of the two Ethernet connections, to answer another common question the device doesn't support network fall over. the wifi isn't much better but does support more devices the document states upto 64 devices my own testing shows it does allow for a typical home and smart devices to be back online but see it capped to about 100-200 mbs, naturally the device also has no fixed ip option for 5g/4g. **Q: i would be using this on 4/5G for gaming , is it easy to set up for xbox and is there a Bridge Mode** A: It has 2 rear ethernet ports, wifi6 and bridge mode. Do you Xbox can either plug in directly or use the WiFi. It is very easy to setup. **Q: model name and link says it is MC801A, what is the correct model name?** A: MC801A ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's brilliant!

It carries the 3 logo but this didn't surprise me as this seems a common source. I am upgrading from a vintage Huawei B310 and am getting considerably improved signal reception and higher download speeds for 4g, and the bonus of “future - proofing” for when 5g arrives in my area. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and fast setup *by K***H on 24 July 2023* Really good piece of kit. The router arrived on time and the set up is literally unbox, pop in Sim card and fire up. I have an unlimited data sim from Smarty that I was using in a 4g router (a Smarty sim card was also included in the box with the router) and the difference in speed between 4g and 5g is incredible. The ZTE goes through its boot up procedure and the lights on the front of the router are all self explanatory. I had previously worked out the best position for signal with the 4g router so just placed this one in the same position and all good with what seems to be a very strong 5g signal indoors. Browsing to the admin interface of the router is also straightforward and it informed me there was a firmware update to download and run in - took about 10 mins in total and all went smoothly. Changing SSID for WiFi and passwords is also very straightforward from the admin interface. If all you need is to browse the internet, work from home, connect your TV and stream content there is nothing else to configure in the router and it all works brilliantly. Have been running the router for 5 days now and no disconnects or any other funny business. Phones, tablets, TV's, laptops and PCs in the household all connect and use the strong WiFi signal all without any issues. All in all very happy with the router. ## Frequently Bought Together - ZTE 5G CPE MC888, Unlocked 5G WiFi Home Router, Fast WiFi 6, Up to 3.8Gbps, Premium Design with Low Power Consumption, UK Plug + UK Warranty (White) - SMARTY Unlimited Data only SIM. 1 month plan, No contract, EU Roaming - SMARTY 5G/4G Data Sim, Data Deals Unlimited Calls and Texts, NO Credit Checks, NO Contract, Pay when you Activate SIM --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/469825407-5g-cpe-mc888-unlocked-5g-wifi-home-router-fast-wifi](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/469825407-5g-cpe-mc888-unlocked-5g-wifi-home-router-fast-wifi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
