Worth testing if you can get 5g on a handset I think. Might not have been the CPE at fault. I'm testing a Three PAYG sim with the 5g add-on in a sim-unlocked Galaxy S10 5G and can't get 5g signal, even when I'm right next to a mast that the call centre confirmed has 5g.
I've previously been able to get 5g signal with a Vodafone bill-pay SIM on the same device.
Getting a 5g phone next week to test this out. Staying positive that it was the router but you never know

Maybe im just in a good area, but the cpe pro has gave me a huge boost in speeds.
Iv still not seen any 5g coverage in my area
but i'll happily take the speeds its giving me.
When i did have 5g in dundalk for a few minutes i got over 200mb vs the usual 10-20mb on 4g.
Tho i have had others say their only getting 30-40mb on 5g. Maybe it was a lucky speedtest.
4g+ at home is giving me 60-100mb average. Iv seen iy close to 250mb during the night. Thats up from maybe 10mb on the old router.0 -

4G+ (LTEA) has far more capacity as it stands so you can aggregate multiple cells and get huge speeds. Going from a CAT4 say device to CAT16/20 lets you leverage a huge amount of airtime.0 -

Purchased a Three “5G Booster” today after using the using the “Coverage Checker” on Three(.)ie to confirm I was in an area with 5G coverage.
My 5G device showed no 5G signal after a system restart so I contacted Three.
Apparently 5G indoor coverage is down in my area (South Dublin) and a technical team is working on it. No time frame was given when asked.
I will update this post if anything changes. If nothing changes by the end of the 28 days i'm sure the lovely Three staff that peruse these threads would consider refunding my €5…
I suggest you ask them where a working outdoor tower is. When I called one of the support staff gave me the same line and told me there was only one 5g tower in my city at XYZ location.
I doubted that was true given the 3 5g map shows coverage over the entire city and much of the surrounding area - that would require a lot of masts! I figured it was either the call centre personnel trying to get a difficult to solve issue off the phone or alternatively their information was out of date. So I drove right to where that 1 mast she mentioned was located. No 5g signal. I stood outside my car and called the call centre again from that spot. They were able to see where I was so they couldn't use that excuse again
They then finally logged the case with the technical team. The team responded that my device wasn't yet authorised for use on the 5g network - which makes a lot more sense than the ****e the original rep tried to sell me. She was so adamant too when I told her the online map showed coverage over the entire city..."no I just checked our internal systems and there's just 1 mast". Yeah right.0 -

Yes, good point. According to ComReg SiteViewer Three has a NR/5G mast approximately 1.5 km away from me. I don't know enough about NR/5G technology to make a comment on that though.When I called one of the support staff gave me the same line and told me there was only one 5g tower in my city at XYZ location.

lol well played Sir. That's why I made this post, if anything it’s about accountability so companies won’t pull the same thing on many others.They then finally logged the case with the technical team.

Interesting, so they "registered" your device on the system and then you received a push notification with new settings from the network or something of the sort? I wonder why they don’t just register all 5G devices on the network, although probably not as simple as that I imagine.0 -
