The ZTE MC801A 5G is a 5G Router aimed at users seeking high internet speeds and connection reliability. The Router provides users with the ability to connect multiple devices to the internet via the wireless Wi-Fi connection.
It is suitable for professionals who need a reliable internet connection for their work, as well as for users who need high speeds to enjoy their entertainment activities, such as videos and games. It is also suitable for users living in areas where cable or satellite network connections are insufficient or even non-existent, as the router allows them to connect to the internet via the 5G network.
For internet access, it needs to be connected to a modem.
Equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X55, which supports 5G network, you can enjoy high-speed internet connection. Downlink rate LTE+5G EN-DC reaches 3.8Gbps.
The 5G network, which offers significantly higher speeds than 4G.
For the device to operate at this speed, there must be corresponding coverage from the mobile network in the area where we are located.
The 4MIMO antennas achieve optimal wireless performance. Extend the flexibility of the mesh router to enhance Wi-Fi coverage indoors.
Supports up to 32 WiFi-enabled devices, including laptops, tablets, phones, gaming consoles, and many more!
It is Wi‑Fi 6 generation, the most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5.
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet port ensures flexible connection of all types of wired devices. It provides stable high-speed and low-latency 5G network services.
The small and exquisite industrial design, the unique ring, and the improved design make it the perfect tool in your home.
Ideal for homes with many smart devices.
It broadcasts signal on two frequencies, 2.4 & 5GHz. It offers higher speeds compared to single band and connection of more devices. The 2.4GHz frequency is the most widespread and has a long range. The 5GHz provides higher speed than the 2.4GHz but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g., walls) that reduce its range. This difference and its more limited use help it to have fewer interferences from other networks.
It has the ability to configure a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that the traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet, giving us the ability to appear as if we are geographically in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor and not our own. This provides us with anonymity and access to geographically restricted content. VPN services are usually paid with a subscription. With MAC address filtering, it allows specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, blocking any device with a MAC address that has not been designated as acceptable.

The device is stable. It rarely loses signal or stops data transmission, but I think that’s more due to the Cosmote network. The speed depends on the provider and location. I’ve achieved over 600 Mbps download. Upload speed varies at my location, ranging from 7-8 Mbps to ~40 Mbps, but it’s usually around 15-20 Mbps. It performs as advertised. The menu is easy and has all the options a user needs (port forward, manual band selection, etc)
The only downside is that data transfer within the LAN network, between two or more devices, isn’t Gigabit. Over WiFi LAN, it’s up to 200 Mbps, and with a LAN cable, it’s around 300 Mbps. But it transfers Gbit internet speed directly to a device via a cable or WiFi. That’s why connecting it to a router with Gigabit LAN throughput is a good idea. I use the TP-Link Archer C80.
The speeds it achieves are 300-400mbs with its position being far from a window. When placed in a window, it reaches over 400mbs. It has really saved me in conjunction with a good internet plan. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a good line at home and the internet packages offered to them are more expensive than mobile.
New building. Application for Cosmote Fiber 200, at around €35. In the end, fiber cannot come, only copper. The only solution is Starlink or 5G. Ultimately, conversion of extra Cosmote 5G sim to unlimited for €25, and speed with the mentioned router at 600Mbps, plug n play. No disconnection or malfunction for the past month. (Note, the router was in a Nova package).
I got it too in a nova k package with the characteristic feature wind. I can't connect it to the phone since the SIM card has limited minutes. And the WiFi doesn't have a great range on the balcony at a distance of 6 meters. From 190 that I get in the living room, only 30
Good morning, good evening, good night. If you have a problem in your area just connect with unlimited GB and that's it.
It literally saved me, in my apartment building in Paleo Faliro the tenants do not want us to install fiber optics, but this here combined with Cosmote unlimited is the best. I have placed it next to a window and the speed does not drop below 260, with an average of 310 I am extremely satisfied in the one month that I have had it.
When your provider tells you sorry we can't do anything else.. When the network technicians tell you we will cancel your contract because there is no signal in your area, okay... The ZTE comes and blows us away... IT SHOOTS the device!! The only one that caught signal at home was the Xiaomi RN 12 5g sometimes on the balcony when it locked 5g for a bit, the ZTE locks inside the house at 300mb/s!! peak hours and I am 3 kilometers away from the antennas with 100+ dbi!! The purchase was made today 23/10/2024! AMAZING!! Buy it with your eyes closed! If you see even a few times 5g speeds on your mobile, the ZTE will lock them permanently 100%!! so excited that I came to write a review!
The fact that it came in a N OVA box and it says WIND on top while I paid €270 from Skroutz infuriated me at first because as a packaging collector I want to have the boxes from everything (of value) I have in my house so that I can put them there if I need to move them... I’ll set this aside...
Now let's move on to the technical specifications of the review...
The router is incredibly perfect! I have had it for 2 hours in an area that supports up to 24 from OTE and I’m getting 300-350mbps... I moved a few days ago and this was the only tool that would solve my problems... and it did... online gaming with the 100 I had in the old house I was seeing around 50ms... here I went somewhere around 60 but I still haven’t found the sweet spot of my new home... if you have 5g signal in your area and have up to 50 line, I don’t see a reason not to upgrade... from 100 and above it’s not worth it yet unless you want to have internet everywhere with you...
Cosmote, I have had it for 2 years and it has solved my problems.
For over 10 years with a 24 Mbps line that was getting 7-8 Mbps... we don't have fiber in the area, so this little router was the only option. 5G sim from Cosmote, you plug it in and it's a miracle... 600+ Mbps!!! It remains to be seen how reliable it will be as a device over time.
plug n play. I inserted the sim card and immediately everything worked. I did a speed test with a 4g router at 40 Mbps and immediately after with the 5g router at 180 Mbps. You wouldn't call it cheap. If I didn't have unlimited data, I think I would go for Starlink.
The best home router I have ever had
1. The 5g is lightning fast (up to 400mbps depending on conditions), unlike another 4g router in the same spot
2. The WiFi has very good range (covers a 100sqm house)
3. I didn't need to make any settings (with Cosmote SIM) I just plugged it in and it worked
4. In 4 months of operation, it restarted/re-connected 1 or 2 times
Compared to the 4G Cosmote router, the difference was immediately noticeable in an area with limited signal. From 10, the speed increased to 30-40. So far, I am satisfied. I also installed an external antenna (Nedis), I still haven't figured out if it makes a difference or not. I will get back to it.
Well, this little router has driven me crazy.
One has a signal of -70dBm, the next one -95dBm, and the next one -120dBm, and it doesn't catch... whatever it wants.
And this happens with both 5G and 4G.
I've ended up constantly being in its menu to know what's going on.
I restored it hoping it would fix it, and look at what happened to the menu!
What kind of nonsense is this?
Not only does the menu look weird, but also any help it had, I no longer have!
Conclusion: Do not dare to restore it and the next time do something other than ZTE
Excellent, no need for any adjustments, you insert the card and finally you have internet. How magical can it be to reach at least 150 mbps in Greece in 2024. For years we struggled with max 2 mbps.
Very good without even using an external antenna like I thought I would need to get a better signal, and the antenna is about 300 meters away and I still get even better reception than in the photo I uploaded. I recommend it
Very good and with stable connection .. the speeds between it and iPhone 12plus do not have a big deviation .. it has some glitches but nothing problematic .. Wi-Fi with short range .. time will tell for the rest ..
Excellent router, where a tplink 4g reached 15-25 in the countryside, this one reaches 70-100 in an area with very poor signal (-105 to -112db) very stable and even outdoors. Especially at the price I got it, it's a steal. In Athens with moderate signal (-100db) it reached 540 easily. Don't think twice, it's the best
Awesome. I am in a village that has speeds up to 50 mbps and only Cosmote works, but with Vodafone I get unlimited 150 mbps with 4G+.
In the city, it reaches 5G with speeds from 500 mbps to 900 mbps, depending on the signal in different areas within the city.
For me, it is definitely worth it and I don't regret buying it.
I pay 30 euros per month for 2 SIM cards with Vodafone and I have unlimited internet both on my mobile and at home.
The additional 5 euros is for the second card I have in the router.
It is simply a LIFESAVER for those of us who do not have optical fiber yet. I have had it for a month and it really worth its money. The only negative is that the sockets for an external antenna break relatively easily, now imagine I had to take it for repair because one of the two sockets broke
All good, except for the price, unless the technology for 5g is expensive. Mandatory purchase for places where fixed or even 4g, 4g+ are slow.
Very good WiFi, and the speed with Vodafone's 5g in the area. Very easy installation.
Very good, reliable, and fast! Good construction in terms of quality. However, it also has a place for a phone on the back. Something that is missing from the photos. Was there a mistake?
Simply the best 5G, it just flies
I just want to say that I have an iPhone 15 pro max and inside my house I have up to 40-50mb, the kids with the schools convinced me to get it and thankfully!! In a difficult area (province) with the ZTEmc801A I reach speeds up to 150mb, while with the to-link v2 4g I couldn't go beyond 12-18mb for any reason, I really saved, I'm in an area without internet with some lines of 2-4mb vdsl so think how I felt when I saw 100+mb in my house. It's worth it and more, really.
New update: After two days, I took the router out of the house and connected the PC and I have 800mb and 60 upload but unfortunately I no longer have a good signal inside the house but I got an extender to boost the signal, I will come back for updates when the extender arrives
I have an unlimited Comote connection, and I am on the ground floor with not very good signal. I had a TP-link MR600 4G router, but during peak hours, the speeds would drop to as low as 5Mb/s, while in the early morning hours when the network was free, it would reach up to 140Mb/s. I bought the used MC801a and found my solution. In the exact same spot where the other router was, I now get speeds of 500+ during peak hours, and in the morning on weekends, I have seen speeds of up to 940. It likely reaches the 1Gb ethernet limit. They should have provided it with a 2.5Gb port since its 5G modem has the capability for speeds over 1Gb.
Its WiFi is quite fast, my mobile locks in at 1200Mb on the 5GHz band, but with Ethernet on my PC, I always get higher speeds.
Its menu is not very rich, and it doesn't give you many options for settings. On the other hand, for a regular user, it is practically plug and play.
If you are not getting 5G with a Comote SIM card, put the card in a mobile phone and send an SMS "5G" to 1333 to activate it.
If you want to test to see if you have a good signal at home, download the "Cellmapper" application on a 5G mobile phone and check if you are catching the N78 band with a strong signal. If you are catching the N28 or N1 bands, the maximum speeds will be much lower than what I mentioned in my case.
It also has a VOIP slot, if you're not in a hurry for such high speeds, prefer a 4G mobile router at 1/6 of the price.
It's worth every penny. Unique speeds.
One thing I will say.... I have tried almost everything from routers and antennas..... I installed it and saw a big difference and very stable speed!!! I had 50-70 and now 140-150 mbps consistently! The speeds I mention are wireless. First day today! I will come back!! After two months, I have to say that it's worth every euro! Stable speeds without any disconnections!
I got it as a test because the 4G routers I use were giving me 14-18 Mbps wifi and I wanted to see how much of a difference it makes - it reaches 160-200 but not during the day when the network is obviously busy. Nevertheless, it is very good. Its menu is very poor, it does not have SIM card management options like disabling the PIN, for example, so it asks for it every time it restarts. So far, it hasn't had any interruptions for 4 days.
