Support for 5G?

[teepean]

Hello and thank you for this great tool! I recently upgraded to Huawei 5G CPE Pro and would like to know what it would need to get a support for that device? I can dowload whatever configuration file is needed and have used Binwalk to uncompress an update firmware.

EDIT: I have to mention that tool works currently except for the 5G part.

Hi. Thanks for using this tool. For this I will need my hands on a 5G routers for testing. I don't know what API used in 5G routers. It may be differ with the current 4G routers. Or maybe you can extract the firmware update and search for the API i guess in js folder and share it to me? Also what do you mean by 5G part that is not working?

[teepean]

I meant with 5G not working that I can select 2G, 3G, 4G or Auto but there is no option to select 5G.

Here's an extracted firmware from an update and some files I have downloaded from my router.

I couldnt find any js file in the files you provided

[teepean]

Which ones do you need? There are a lot of lua files in the extracted firmware and their names are similar to js files.

Since I don't have any 5G router, can you make some test for me. On API control tab, select "api/net/net-mode" and see the 'NetworkMode' element.

00 for Auto. 01 for 2G 02 for 3G 03 for 4G

So for 5G maybe the value is 04? You can test by changing 'NetworkMode' to 04 send the post request on the right window.

It gives an error if I change it to 04.

Request failed: ERROR 112003: ERROR_SET_NET_MODE_AND_BAND_FAILED

Changing it to 03 works.

Here is "api/net/net-mode-list". I assume it shows the possible modes?

`

I found a file called api/net/net-feature-switch

Could you add that to the program?

`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

2 <>0

Will add it.

I believe those are all supported band by your router. Still couldn't figure out what is the value for 5G. You already on 5G line?

00 is Auto 03 is 4G 08 is 3G

Nothing else seems to work.

Wait, the values are different.

On 4G Lte router/modem these are the values :

00 for Auto. 01 for 2G 02 for 3G 03 for 4G

Maybe Huawei will release a new firmware update for 5G compatibility when it rollout next year

[pearlxcore]

I added 5G option and upload band for band aggregation ;)
