I have been using computers since the days of DOS, but never advanced from "user" to computer guru or even hobbyist. I bought this unit because I am moving to a rural area with very few ISPs and those are low speed unless you can pay big monthly fees. I watched a lot of youtube videos and learned about cellular SIM routers. My confidence level was pretty low, as this is pretty low priced for a 5G unit. When I got the unit my confidence dropped even further when I saw that the instructions were VERY brief and not organized in a way that is optimized to the Western mind. However, they are very clear and if you read them over slowly and multiple times, setup is a snap. Reading and understanding the instructions took me about a half hour; set up took about 5 minutes. Really, the system sets up itself. Two things confused and concerned me in the instructions: there was no mention of a setup menu for customization and they referred to the unit as a "hot spot". It is not a hot spot, it is a fully functioning 4G/5G cellular modem and wifi router. There is a comprehensive setup menu that you can change, but it automatically optimizes it to your system. I did not change any settings and am getting excellent speeds. It is truly "plug and play". Install your SIM card BEFORE powering up the unit (I just used the SIM card I took out of my backup cell phone), plug it in and wait a few minutes. Once the lights are on, go to the settings-wifi menu of your screen device and look for "5G_CPE" then select it and go to the URL shown on the instructions and enter the username and you will be taken to the setup menu! This step is only necessary if you have advanced settings you wish to use. Otherwise, skip the setup menu and just start surfing! The wifi coverage is good too. Note that the wifi password is printed on the bottom of the unit. I was a little aprehensive about buying this unit because it did not have a single review, but I also knew how good desertcart's return policy is. So, if you have decent cell coverage at your home and want really low cost internet access, I highly recommend this product. Review: Phenomenal customer support from UOTEC! - I purchase this UOTECK 5G CPE Router and have had it for about 6 months. Every thing works as advertised. In February, contacted the customer support team of UOTEK on desertcart because I did not know how to change the IML. They told me how to do it. It is located in AT Command. If you do change the IML, you need to reboot the device for it to be changed and the new one to take effect. NO REBOOT OF MODEM, NO IML CHANGE! In June, I contacted them again because I had received too many SMS messages and could not delete some of them. Support had to check with a tech to see if it can be done an gave me an AT command to enter as follows: AT+CMGD=1,4 I asked if that deleted SMS message 1 thru 4. Well, when I enter that it deleted ALL SMS MESSAGES. I asked if there is a list of AT commands in .PDF and customer support gave me: Quectel_RG520N&RG52&RM530N_Series_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.0.0_Preliminary_20220812.pdf This 253 page PDF had it all and is worth a read (to get it, contact support! ) . I quickly found on page 152 how to delete a SMS as follows: AT+CMGD=,0 So… to delete the first SMS message enter: AT+CMGD=0,0 So... to delete the second SMS message enter: AT+CMGD=1,0 So... to delete the third SMS message enter: AT+CMGD=2,0 and so forth. It helps to count the number of messages starting at 1 to xx and then just subtract 1 of which SMS message is to be deleted. By the way, I would never just start messing with AT Commands on this device unless there is a reason to do so. Although, it has error checking, trying to get the device to do something that it should not be doing, could break it. One take away is that UOTEK customer support is phenomenal and gets the answers even if they have to get them from tech support! So… this UOTEK 5G modem is worth the price. I live 2.5 miles from cell and is indoors and get 110 MB/s average on n41 but have seen 256 MB/s. It does say: Signal Status:5G-SA Signal Weak all the time even when hitting the highest speeds but is grossly better then the Huawei 4g that only had band 2/4 that was pulling in 2-16 MB/s (rough out here). Hopefully, this seller continually develope this product with a faster modem speeds and antenna designs. Good product, cannot go wrong on purchasing this. Pssst... get the at commands in PDF from support! Hopefully, desertcart does not pull a fast one and get rid of support for sellers or I will be packing it up fast and am out of here! ## Features - 5G Cellular Network Access: No need for external network cables, providing excellent 5G network access capability.
