About this deal

OPTUS are so far being fawkward (delib) not helping, and Huawei referred me to Optus, I don't suppose you can assist please with where i can find a firmware upgrade for the B818-263(Base link to site as opposed to direct link for router should be satisfactory providing it is on the site under expected router name). The unique HUAWEI B818 antenna provides high performance and helps in full coverage in many directions.

The B818 is by far the newest and fastest LTE router in the Huawei product range, with LTE Cat19 delivering speeds of up to 1. I have just purchased the RBK753 Orbi mesh system and thought I would reach out for community support before I become one the briefest owners of the system. When I put it all in I just connected the b818 to the ‘base’ Airport via cat6, put all the Extremes in bridge mode and then deactivated the wifi in the b818.

But for me, someone who just needs to plug it in, get assigned an IP, and who wants the quickest speed then the Huawei is perfect. Can't be done with the B818, as it cannot do cell locking and band locking can't be leveraged either as mast 2 has the same bands as mast 1 (and then some more). You can conveniently manage the router using the HiLink application (available on Android and iOS platforms). If you have WiFi 6 devices (I just have the main PC but obviously it is backwards compatible with everything else) I'd certainly say so as there are features that you don't get with WiFi5. For the last 2 years we have been using an Huawei b818 in the loft connected to 3 Apple AirPort Extreme’s around the house (‘base’ unit via cat6 and 2 on ‘extend network’.

For more information and what this modification can, do take a look at our “ Modification Info” page.The way to fix this issue is to put the router into “bridge mode” which I understand means it connects to the Orbi via Ethernet and then all networked devices are managed by the Orbi mesh and IP addresses etc are assigned from there. Three have locked down the firmware though so a number of features are not accessible such as bridge mode and DNS changes. I was trying to prepare the Asus for the changeover so that I could just unplug the B818 and plug in the Superhub and wanted the B818 to do the same as the Superhub i.

This included all Ring devices, a Sky Q box and a MyEnergi hub They all got served on the LAN through the DHCP but could not get to the outside world. The only things I can find whether genuine or not require payment for it and that's not what I want. Maximum size for each attachment is 10MB (rar, jpg, zip, pdf, war, txt, docx, doc, png, mp3, mp4, xls, xlsx, gif, jpeg are supported).I've had a few issues with my EE connection, but I am 99% convinced it's been down to mast issues (I've had a few "we are doing work in your area" texts.
