The B628 is the flagship 4G+ router from Huawei, supporting LTE Cat12. It supports up to 4x4 MIMO in the downlink to achieve a maximum theoretical downlink rate of 600 Mbit/sec.
However, the B628 (and its 5G sibling, the 5G CPE Pro 2) make it very difficult to attach external antennas, which has made them challenging to use in areas of low 4G or 5G signal strength. To solve this, we've teamed up with router-mods.co.uk to offer a B628 router pre-modified for use with external antennas.
All internal antenna connections have been re-routed to the outside of the case, and are exposed as four secure SMA-female connections on the side of the router. This allows you to easily connect two Bluespot 4G/5G antennas and achieve blisteringly fast internet, even in remote areas.

This item is a brand-new modified router, and the manufacturer's warranty does not apply. Instead, we guarantee the router and workmanship for a period of 3 months after purchase. In the event of a technical fault, we will repair or replace it at our discretion, per our returns policy.
