Excellent video and thanks for the communication and advice given to my wife. An order will be on its way to you

Very informative video, thanks. When you showed everyting connected together you said that the external modem went into one of the LAN ports, as far as I'm aware the connection needs to be only in the WAN port on the internal router and will only work in that one as default.

Can I connect the RJ45 LAN-IN port on the POE with a cable directly to a PC ? When you have only 1 electronic device, you dont need a router. I think it is possible ?

@@kalwongkl yes you can connect directly to a Lan port on a PC, but you'll have to setup the connection as a PPOE or make sure the unit is set to router mode rather than bridge.

Bought this kit from you last year and just wanted to thank you again for all the support and advise given. Its going great. Do they ever release firmware updates for the MC889? I can't seem to find any online

Great to hear its working well for you. Great bit of kit. They will release OTA updates, although its still fairly new on the market, there may not be any updates released yet. But when they are, the modem will auto update if enabled.

I live on a narrowboat cruising the uk, i was going to buy a teltonika rutx50 and pontying 3-17 external aerial, but at half the price of the above would this be a viable option?? Thanks for the informative video.

I'm looking for the MC889 PRO - but it can't be found for sale anywhere.....!

Could you please review the GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) 5G NR AX3000 Cellular Gateway Router with Wi-Fi 6, Multi-WAN, Dual-SIM, and Detachable Antennas? Thanks!

It looks like if you wanted to change the ethernet cable that goes into the outdoor modem it might be tricky? It has to be one of those flat kinds to fit through the plate at the bottom? Or could you fit a normal round one in?

you can always extend with an IP rated Ethernet adapter

interesting device this.....i don't recall you mentioning anything about the antennas which are obviously internal on the outdoor modem. How many are there inside? and is this at all mod-able to connect your additional external antennas?

Don't take my word for it as I might but wrong but I have one of these and there is no extra ports on the mc889 for external antennas

@@J1ggleMyPuff yeah i didn't think they had any as standard, was more curious as to if it was possible to mod the device at all to enable you to attach your own external antennas rather than use the internal ones to establish if there could be any potential gains/benefit from it

hi, there are 8 internal antenna (4x4G and 4x5G) we did consider modifying this modem, however it would defeat its intended use.

@@router-mods thank you for your response on this. I agree modifying would defeat its intended use, however if you are a user that has 4G and 5G towers in opposite directions modifying would be worthwhile, as otherwise your limited to having the antenna facing one direction

HI does the outdoor modem actually require the ZTE T3000 router? I already have my own router, I just need an outdoor receiver to capture 5g signals.

@@Mister_Scar Hi, There is a setting within the routers UI.

I have a question. I have the exact same router and I would like to connect the cat. 6 10 meter cable to a second LAN-cable (cat 7) via a connector so cat 6 - connector - cat 7 - PoE. I need a longer cable to put the mesh I have with the router in the right room and the 10 m cat 6 isnt long enough for that. is that possible or would the outdoor router not get any power because I use another cable? Thank you!

Hi, you will be fine to extend the cables up to 100m with POE.

The speeds are really terrible on it. There are better 5g routers with better antenna and more advanced tech
