    Providing you have 5G coverage , look into 5g capable routers. If 5G is not an option/so,so.. Huawei B818 is very good build and reliable router, using for number of years

    Huawei still best brand to go for? I have 5g here.

    I was actually tempted to just buy the same again. I can get it for 80€ ish.

    The 4 lights at the back of mine are blinking constantly. No real Google results as to the cause. The electricity has come and gone a few times over the last few days and must have damaged it.

    If have matching power brick try it (12V DC, 2A) - power outage/fluctuation could damage the adapter. Board could have got damage too
    Regardless, your device is quite dated, i think LTE CAT6. We on CAT19-22 these days…
