From 4G to 5G: Faster Mobile Internet in the Campervan

Installing and fitting a Campervan / Motorhome Wi-Fi upgrade from 4G to 5G for faster internet. I originally bought a 5G mobile aerial and have upgraded to the ZTE MU5001 5G Mobile Router.
THE BEST MOBILE ROUTER & ANTENNA I’ve used since I got the van.

I’m seeing much faster download speeds so far, up to 10x faster than 4G. I’m going to continue testing and will report back after longer term usage.

I removed the previous 4G Huawei e5785 router I installed when I first got the van and replaced it with the ZTE MU5001. The aerial I had fitted originally supports 5G.
