Ultra-Fast, SIM-Ready, and Future-Proof

As the demand for high-speed internet continues to rise, reliable connectivity has become essential for both hybrid work and smart homes. Therefore, staying ahead requires embracing the latest innovations in connectivity. Enter the ZTE G5 WiFi 7 5G Router — a next-generation device that combines WiFi 7 speeds, 5G mobile broadband, and unmatched versatility in one powerful unit.

In this blog, we’ll explore what makes the ZTE G5 a true game-changer. Specifically, we’ll cover the unboxing, our speed tests, and the router’s standout features.


Watch the Unboxing and Speed Test

During filming, we tested the G5 in a range of environments. As a result, we gained clear insights into how it performs under real conditions.

To begin with, we placed the router inside a tight, soundproofed studio. This space is well known for poor signal reception. Nevertheless, the G5 delivered download speeds of around 200–250Mbps. That’s still impressive, especially because soundproofing materials often weaken both mobile and WiFi signals. Consequently, this made for an ideal stress test of the router’s signal-capturing capabilities.

Afterward, we moved the G5 downstairs to a more open areaAlmost immediately, download speeds surged beyond 600MbpsThis clearly shows that under optimal conditions, the ZTE G5 can fully deliver on its promise of ultra-fast 5G and WiFi 7 performance.

Moreover, these results highlight two important points. First, placement is crucial for achieving the best speeds. Second,the router’s Smart Antenna system adapts quickly to varying environments.

Finally, watch Harry put the G5 through its paces in both home and office setups. In the end, you’ll see why this router stands out as a future-proof choice for modern connectivity.
