In case there is no 5G connection with your 5G mobile router, consider the following steps:

  1. SIM card capability: Contact your ISP to confirm 5G service availability with your SIM card.
  2. 5G signal availability: Check local 5G signal via nperf website. Select the appropriate Country, City/ province, District and Carrier (Operator). Alternatively, you can contact your ISP to confirm 5G signal availability in your region.
  3. Adjust the facing angles of the device's directional antennas to be more aligned with the cellular tower.
  4. Firmware Update: Make sure your device is updated with the latest firmware. To know the latest firmware version for the Nebula Mobile Router, please refer to Zyxel Download Library
  5. Network Settings: Examine your “Cellular band“ settings.

Path: Network Settings > Broadband > Cellular Band.

  • Ensure that the "Referred Access Technology" includes the “5G” option
  • The 'Band Auto Selection' can be either:
    • Enabled for automatic band selection
    • Fixed to specific bands supported by your ISP

OR

This setting allows the router to search for the best available band automatically.
