ZTE MC889 Outdoor 5G Router with Indoor WiFi6

(1 customer review)

The ZTE MC889 outdoor 5G router lets you deploy your router and SIM outdoors to capture the best 5G network signal and deliver this along an Ethernet cable (which also provides power to the outdoor router using a POE injector) to a T3000 WiFi6 router which provides high speed wireless broadband inside the home or office as well as providing a couple of Gigabit Ethernet ports for connection to a wired LAN.

By installing the 5G router outdoors, this means that it is receiving the best possible 5G network signal so you can save the expense of installing a 5G antenna outdoors and having to deal with the signal loss along the antenna cables, especially on longer antenna cable runs.  Because the router is outdoors it can get the best possible 5G signal and deliver this along a longer Ethernet cable so just a single cable run is required to the outdoor 5G router and this can be much longer than an antenna cable as the Ethernet cable is not carrying radio signals which will suffer from signal loss.

Whilst the ZTE MC889 contains a directional antenna, it also uses omni-directional antennas as well so the router antenna configuration is not purely directional making it easier to place in most installations without direct line of sight to the 5G tower,  In the majority of cases it can be installed in the location where you have the best 5G signal,  This can be easily tested with a 5G mobile phone.  It may be that one side of the house or office building has the best signal and this would be the location that would typically face in the direction of the 5G tower.  If based in the UK you can also use sites like https://www.cellmapper.net/ which can display site data and you can also test your 5G router on the side of your building that has the best line of sight to the 5G tower you want to use.

    Bought this kit to replace my BT landline broadband package that was only giving me 16Mbps download and 1.2 Upload.
    What a difference it has made. I’m now getting over 4g 60Mbps DL and 25Mbps UL. All for the fraction of the cost per month than before.
    Very easy to setup plug n play. Highly recommended.
