Verdict

The Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 is a high-performance desktop router featuring the Balong 5000 chipset and Wi-Fi 6 Plus technology, delivering theoretical 5G download speeds up to 3.6 Gbps and dual-band Wi-Fi speeds of 2976 Mbps. Key pros include its support for 11 5G frequency bands (NSA/SA), 5G Super Uplink for faster uploads, a quiet 30dB active cooling fan, and the ability to connect up to 128 devices simultaneously. However, notable cons include the lack of external antenna ports (TS-9 or SMA), limited wired connectivity with only two Gigabit LAN ports, and the absence of a functional USB port for external storage.
