Hi guys i live in Ireland would this device work there for 5g? and what kind of speeds are you guys gettings? I want to use this a modem to connect to my laptop and phone when I am at home
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
@molexs thank you my friend for trying your best helping all of us. God bless.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
May I know why you need to change the IMEI?
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
I think it should work, there is a youtuber from Italy who got it working, so I presume it will work in Ireland.

I am very satisfied with the speed and the performance. Of course the speed will vary depending on the signal and the load of the 5G network.

This test is from my Galaxy 5G Mobile Wi-Fi SCR01

And this one is from my Huawei 5G CPE Pro H112-370

I need to use it in the business office, which requires different IMEI
[General Questions and Answers] djkaneo:
My problem is a bit different. I can not use the 5Ghz wifi band. When I try switching, it shows a warning about it being banned indoors in Japan. When I press OK, nothing happens and the key will stop working till I switch back to 2.4Ghz
[General Questions and Answers] ixtlilxochitl2:
Hello dear friend, I just recently purchased this device and I'm afraid that it wont pick up the network signal. I've used sim cards from different providers (google fi (t-mobile infrastructure) and at&t) and nothing has come from it. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me resolve this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Have you followed the instructions?
[General Questions and Answers] ixtlilxochitl2:
I did, but the issue I'm experiencing is that the router wont pick up the network. It'll show me the service bars but not that it's sending and receiving data. When I press on "Software Update", it'll tell me "Network not available, try again later".
[General Questions and Answers] molexs:
First confirm whether the apn is set normally, this device must manually set the apn in some areas.
[General Questions and Answers] ixtlilxochitl2:
that fixed the issue, thank you very much!

Who can help me get the wifi hotspot to work at 5ghz? The device only allows me to use it when It's on 2.4ghz

Great

This is very strange, try to click on Wi-Fi and select 5 GHz as a frequency band and answer Indoors.

[General Questions and Answers] djkaneo:
No matter what I do, I can not get it to switch on when I choose 5Ghz.
[General Questions and Answers] djkaneo:
Sorry for the poor picture quality. My flagship is indisposed at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Did you try to reset the device? Please note that you may have to enter the service mode to enable 5G connection.
[General Questions and Answers] djkaneo:
I have 5G, I just don't have 5Ghz Wifi Hotspot
[General Questions and Answers] djkaneo:
I just reset the device. That did not help.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Maybe it can be done in the Service mode, but I am not expert in that. I hope some one could help you.
[General Questions and Answers] cewong2:
The router is from Japan (I don’t think there is an international equivalent of it) so as such it is made for the Japanese market including the software.

Those dates in red are Japanese holidays specifically:

Sept 19 - Repect for the Ederly day

Sept 23 - Autumn Equinox

I suspect October 10 is in red too which was Sports day.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Great. I am wondering if we can change the calendar to other region through service mode?
[General Questions and Answers] ostelter:
Hi, is there an option to have 4G/5G Mode? I have enable the 5G Mode, but device can't connect to WAN or no 5G WAN available. Unfortunately, device don't auto-switch back to 4G network. Therefore I ask, if someone is aware of it :)
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Unfortunately No.

This router's Wi-Fi hardware is only compliant with (802.11a/b/g/n/ac). It should be compliant with (802.11ax) as well to work and transmit simultaneously in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
@molexs

As you know every time we restart the router we have to choose the frequency band, 2.4 or 5 GHz, otherwise the 2.4 Ghz will be selected by default.

Is there a way to make 5 GHz as default in the service mode?
[General Questions and Answers] adadas:
Bonjour, j'ai un problème aussi avec le Samsung scr01 que j'ai acheté au Japon, j'ai inséré ma puce et je n'ai aucun réseau, j'aimerais savoir s'il y a un réglage particulier pour avoir le réseau, merci.

Mod translation: Hello, I also have a problem with the Samsung scr01 that I bought in Japan, I inserted my chip and I have no network, I would like to know if there is a particular setting to have the network , thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] molexs:
In Japan, 5g band wifi is forbidden to be used outdoors, so this device will enable 2.4g band wifi by default, which is a system level limitation. Therefore, there is no way to enable 5g band wifi by default, and I hardly restart it.
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Got you. I also rarely restart it unless the connection hangs while I am on a move. The router so far is doing great.
[General Questions and Answers] lkma2022:
hello dear

i have this router, i do all steps, but when i select 2 no response i have.

how can find original software to remove all settings or if you have any solution i hope to support me.

[General Questions and Answers] macsonski:
Hi all,

I can get to the service menu but can’t get to the menu “Allow List Settings”. What is the process to get there so I can enable 5G?

EDIT: Worked it out but see below. Starts at 5G but quickly goes to 4G when i type in my PIN?
[General Questions and Answers] macsonski:
Ok. So I was able to change the two setting in the menu. When I reboot the unit the screen shows 5G. But as soon as I type in my PIN to access the unit, the 5G goes to 4G and won’t go back to 5G.

Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
What do you mean by 2?

Have you tried to reset the device and start again?
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
Do you have a good 5G coverage in your area? Have you entered your service provider APN?

Go to Communication setting menu > Communication mode > and change from Standard (ST) to Plus area (+A), this will expand the coverage.
[General Questions and Answers] lkma2022:
i mean when i write *#0011#, then select Q then will see menu after select 2 to enable 5G all process done but when i select 2 not allowed or access.
[General Questions and Answers] crazyboi1222:
Thank you. I have followed the steps and 5G is enabled.

But I am wondering, is it possible to force the device to use 5G only?
[General Questions and Answers] toyanster:
Hello, I am also wondering if there is a way to force 5G network? My area has 5G network, it is covered by the provider in their map, and everytime i restart it, it connects to 5G first, then it goes to 4G perhaps because 4G has stronger reception but I would like to also just keep it on 5G, the connection is still faster on 5G even if it has half the reception,

Hi, it took me a long time to understand how to configure the apn. Do you think you could tell me how you did it? I would really appreciate it
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
You should enter the APN of your service provider in the settings.
[General Questions and Answers] cristomar:
The problem I find is not the apn, it turns out that it does not give me a signal, I think I made a wrong purchase, I don't know if it can work with at&t in Mexico, if someone could help me or knows how to configure it, I would appreciate it, I am about to return since I It's useless where I am

Hi there, I am planning to purchase this and import from Japan.

Currently my country's network carriers support this bands:

View attachment 5819309

Now my question is if it has a physical SIM Card tray or is this using an eSIM?
[General Questions and Answers] showmak:
The bands are supported but you have to get the APN for your service provider because you have to enter it in the settings.

The router only supports physical sim card.
[General Questions and Answers] edwaine:
Thanks for the info. I just recently ordered one from Amazon JP and use a courier forwarder to send it to my country.

Anyways, is it also capable for incoming & outgoing SMS? I am planning to use this for prepaid WiFi so I can manage my data properly.
[General Questions and Answers] TotoyTigas:
Thanks for this thread giving us information for unrestricting All 5G bands. i also just ordered this and curious does anyone knows what modem or SoC it uses? i read somewhere that its a modified A32 5G which uses Dimensity 720. how true is that?
[General Questions and Answers] edwaine:
Here's the specifications.:

MediaTek Dimensity 720 Processor

2.5GB RAM

32GB Internal Storage

WiFi 5

5000mAH Battery

Corresponding bands:

5G: n28 n41 n77 n78

4G: LTE FDD: B1 / B3 / B17 / B18 TD: B41
[General Questions and Answers] TotoyTigas:
so its true then. only few bands available for both 4G and 5G. they even removed bands for 3G and 2G. maybe its a good thing? as the device can switch only to few bands. i hope it works well here in the philippines when mine arrives.
[General Questions and Answers] edwaine:
Same here. Mine will arrive in a week thru buyandship.ph app. What forwarder did you use?
[General Questions and Answers] TotoyTigas:
i ordered mine from shopee. i saw the prices from amazon jp and its cheaper. i initially planned to use buyandship but got intimated by the steps. how much total did it cost you?
[General Questions and Answers] edwaine:
Brought everything on Amazon JP. I've brought the unit just around ₱5,735.47 last February 13. I've also decided to add a 2pcs Tempered Glass, Carrying Bag Case & a Silicon Case for a total of ₱1,348.49 consolidated but also from Amazon JP last February 13. For the shipping, the main unit was shipped the next day, February 14 & for the consolidated package, February 15. I have paid ₱1,355 from HK to PH via Buyandship PH (inclusive of ₱315 for Buyandship plus option). Local shipping will be done by LBC Express. All in all, around ₱8,438.96.

Update February 23, 2023: Just got the whole package. Already configured to work with other networks and so far, Smart 5G works! Will try GOMO (Globe) later.
[General Questions and Answers] TotoyTigas:
wow not bad considering it includes the accessories. still waiting for mine. good to know it works on smart 5G. may i know how's the speed?

I was wondering if you can sideload an apk on the device via wireless debugging, how can I enable developer options on this?

UPDATE #1: Never mind, I found it. To enable Developer Options, go to "About>Status>Tap IMEI 10 times>Tap to enable USB Debugging."

UPDATE #2: I was able to sideload apks like Pixel Launcher, Files by Google (included from the downloaded zip from the link above) and Nova Launcher. I was installed flawlessly. However, upon pressing the home button does not show which launcher should I choose for a home screen. How do you launch the home launcher selection so I can temporarily make one of those two launchers my temporary one.

Update #3: It turns out you just need to reboot to select what default home app I should use.
[General Questions and Answers] TotoyTigas:
just got mine and did the setup and 5G is working on my Globe/Gomo sims. also installed nova launcher and some floating app so that i can switch from nova to galaxy vice versa immediately

3. On the 4th page, choose "Optimized Mode" and tap "Next". High Performance mode heats up your device too quickly and Eco mode doesn't utilize 5G and only uses 4G/LTE.

I'm also from the Philippines and is currently using the latest update. All networks are working👍. The purpose of security update is to squash bugs and add features if any. You'll only redo the setup (unlock 5G & setup APN) if you factory reset your device.

It’s a circle with a line across as you can see in the picture. Tried to reset, reinserted the sim, followed the instructions to activate usage outside Japan successfully, restarted and talked to the network company who confirmed that their steps like activating the sim and solving signal issues are done.

[General Questions and Answers] bow9487:
Just a little quick question for you guys that have the SCR01, I had mine through this morning from Japan - UK. I have done the necessary bits and bobs for 5g, APN etc and alls well with the world. The only odd things i have notice. I'm currently using a Three unlimited SIM (Which i absolutely batter when it comes to data) When setting up the 'Data using' parts the maximum per month i am able to input is 150GB and daily 50GB. If i input 149GB lets say, it will set fine, 150GB fine again 151 will revert back to 150GB. Why is my question?

After you enable USB Debugging on your SCR01, you can just search YouTube for "ADB APK Sideload" or "Install APK via ADB command"
