D-Link DWR-978

Shows 5g connected LED on the front, however in the settings page i have

Download speeds seem to be in the upper range (60-80Mbps) of what I was receiving on an older 4g router.

EE website says i have 5G indoor and outdoor coverage.

My 5g phone will connect with full 5g signal, and will get around 100-120Mbps.

Any ideas anyone please?

Hi @MarcusGC, I also have this problem. What was the fix?

[MarcusGC]

There isn't one really... I just put the apn details in correctly a dozen
times, got frustrated that it still didn't work, left it go for a few days
and it now sometimes connects to 5g and sometimes not. Marginal at best.
According to EE I should have good indoor and outdoor coverage at my
address. So I don't know. I've tried a few different routers, and this is
the first that has connected at all.

I'm having the same issue, I have two sims both get 5g on my iPhone but the router won't get 5g signal.

It's really hard to find accurate information about which routers support which networks. I'm using mne for business rather than having to deal with a landline provider.
