Okay so, every thing works out of the box (Bridge mode). Just had to add new APN for Jio 5G. For other networks it automatic detects APN settings.

(Tower to Device distance is 2.5km with too many obstructions )

On n78 (3500) speed is around 420Mbps
On n28 (700) speed is around 350Mbps

Haven't tried CA on 5G yet. Is it even possible to do CA on Jio 5G?

You get n78 band signals from a tower that is 2.5 km away? My s22 ultra stop picking n78 when it is 500m away from the tower

Does it need to enabled separately on the ZTE device? CA is available in 5G, but the supported band combinations for CA need to be checked.

What speeds do you get at the same location with a 5G mobile handset? Also the speeds you mentioned, is it when you are directly connected to a PC?

@minuteman Yeah, even my Reno7 Pro gets n78 from that distance but it's not stable. On MC7010 CPE it's stable as I can lock bands and set 5G SA only

@SpeedxThunder Thanks, I'll look into it.

It's available by default (some how on front page it shows No CA or CA Inactive but CA works). On 4G it automatically does CA but on 5G it's currently only using either n28 or n78 band at a time. Haven't tried band lock combo yet.

I can't even connect to 5G SA properly (from my location) when using mobile handset but when connected, it's 20% slower than my CPE.

Also the speeds you mentioned, is it when you are directly connected to a PC?

Yeah, I just plugged my CPE cable into pc without any configuration on computer. My computer have Gbe port.

Btw I orderd this router with 2.5Gbe port - TP-Link Archer AX72 Pro AX5400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router 9299 rs
