Huawei B525s-65a 4G LTE CAT6 300Mbps AC1600 Dual Band WiFi Router 4GbE SIM Wty
Huawei B525s-65a 4G LTE CAT6 AC1600 Dual-Band WiFi Router
The Huawei B525s-65a is a 4G LTE Category 6 home and office router delivering up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload over a SIM card connection, with AC1600 dual-band WiFi (300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + 1300 Mbps on 5 GHz) and four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. An ideal primary or failover broadband solution wherever a fixed-line connection is unavailable or unreliable. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty with free standard AU shipping.
Key Benefits
- 4G LTE CAT6 up to 300 Mbps — Category 6 LTE modem delivers fast speeds with carrier aggregation, well ahead of standard CAT4 devices at 150 Mbps
- AC1600 dual-band WiFi — simultaneous 2.4 GHz (300 Mbps) and 5 GHz (1300 Mbps) bands provide wide coverage and fast close-range wireless for multiple devices
- 4× Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports — full-speed wired connections for desktop PCs, NAS devices, smart TVs, and other Ethernet equipment
- Universal SIM slot — insert any standard SIM card; compatible with Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone 4G networks across AU bands 1/3/7/8/28
- Up to 64 simultaneous WiFi devices — supports a full household or small office with multiple concurrent wireless connections
- 12-month warranty, free AU shipping — professionally tested and sold by Reboot IT, Melbourne, since 2001
Performance in Use
The B525s-65a suits any location where NBN is unavailable, delayed, or unreliable — rural properties, new premises awaiting connection, or businesses needing a fast 4G failover. With Band 28 (700 MHz) support, it maintains usable LTE coverage at distances where 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz signals have faded, making it a practical choice for regional Australian addresses.
The 5 GHz AC band is ideal for streaming and video conferencing in close proximity, while the 2.4 GHz band extends coverage to more distant rooms and lower-throughput devices such as IoT sensors and smart home accessories. The four Gigabit LAN ports mean desktop workstations and NAS storage can operate at full Ethernet speed independent of the wireless network.
