- In this video, we are going to unbox the Huawei 4G Router B311As-853, also know as Huawei 4G Router 2. The router has 1 gigabit Ehernet port which can be setup as WAN or LAN and 1 external antenna connector (SMA). With LTE Cat 4, Huawei B311 can achieve download speed up to 150Mbps and upload speed up to 50Mbps.
Huawei 4G Router Lite has two variant models: Huawei B311As-853 and Huawei B311s-220, which supports different bands.
Huawei B311As-853 (the one in the video) supports:
* 4G LTE: B1/B3/B5/B8/B26/B28/B34/B38/B39/B40/B41(B41: 2545~2655),
* 3G UMTS: B1/B5/B8 & TD-SCDMA: B34/B39
If you from Malaysia, the router works well with Unifi, Yes 4G on band 40 and Celcom on band 3. Maxis/Hotlink supports band 3 but they have the best speed in band 7, which is not supported by the router.
In the next video, we will walk through the web GUI and the Huawei HiLink app to configure the router.
If there is anything not clear or there is any question, feel free to leave it in the comment section and we will discuss.
As always, please like, share and subscribe to the channel to support me. Thank you!
Do you need strong service coverage or does that matter?
What is the distance does the dsignal have, mine is very poor
Have you flash openwrt in it?
What is superior/good model between B311as 853(this model) and B311b 853 ?
If I put my phone sim which has unlimited data in this and use lancable to connect pc . Will it work? Will the pc recognise as Ethernet cable?
Ofcourse , thats what is LAN for
Can I connect with a laptop directly on this huawey wifi? I don't have a router. I want to buy only this huawey b311 and a working 4G SIM with internet on it. Will it work the wifi connection to internet from a laptop or tablet?
Hi. I bought same router to you. Its chinese language. May i ask how to change it in to english. There is no option in the upper part. Thank you
What is the different between modem and router? Which is better in wifi connection
does it come with this vertical antenna?
If you use a sim with it, do you still need to use phone cord?
Can I use this router with Viettel LTE network (Vietnam). Thank you!
Good question! Viettel runs their LTE network on Band 1 (2100 MHz) and Band 3 (1800 MHz), which is supported by this router.
can you post link for antenna because my device came without antenna
When will you make a part 2 ?
can i game with this ?
Is there a way to boost speed? mine is getting 30-40 mbps
Hi, did you try to add the external antenna?
@@VanTechCorner Yes
are most of 3g, LTE, and 4g sim cards compatible to that modem?
You know how to disable its “redirect” when internet outage?
Hi Van Tech Corner Team,
How do you configure the router for an external antenna?
How do you configure the router to give the internet over LAN port free for LAN Devices.
Hi there,
- By default, the antenna mode of this router is set to auto, which means it will automatically adjust the configuration if an external antenna is connected, you don't need to worry about this.
- Once you connect a PC/laptop/switch to the network port of the router, the connection will be establish and if you have internet connection via WiFi, you will have internet connection via the LAN port.
@@VanTechCorner Thanks for y replay, yes with the second router it works fine, was a "monday Modell" many resets but lanport was not working -> device has some issues
Ada nak kene setup pape ke bang? Tadi ade line... ni tkde plak 😅
Ông này nói tiếng anh nghe giống người Việt.. Ai dè ổng là người Việt thật 😂😂😂😂
In this app, as soon as all usage is detected, it does not detect separate mobiles
can i use this as my repeater on my wifi?
Thank u for all explications
How to setup the antena inside the router interface ? Because i installed an antena but the network didn't increase
I am no longer use this 4G router as I switched to a fiber optic connection, so I can't help you with this. The router default setting for antenna is auto and it should use both internal & external antenna once it is plugged in. You can play around with the web UI and find it. What kind of antenna you are using? A normal antenna on the marketplace can only increase the signal around +3 dbm.
@@VanTechCorner i don't know what is the dbm of this antena but it's called giga concept gc550, do you know a good one that increase the network? Thanks sir
Scroll down below and read that default is auto when external antenna is plugged in .. cool ! It is a great router under my car seat that beat those even with external like prolink 🥳
Drop down menu has auto, external and internal but external 5dbi one proves to be useless and best still with internal especially in my car mobile application since only single and not double diversity type. Cheers
How to login on the internet ? For the website of the router
Hi, you can login to to web GUI at 192.168.8.1, the username is admin and the default password can be found at the lable of the router.
Hey Van, are you able to hack in and install openwrt on Huawei router?
Can you flash OpenWRT on this router? I've got a similar router B310-518 and I would like very much to flash OpenWRT.
Unfortunately no. The number of Huawei routers which are supported by OpenWRT is very small, because most of it is closed source.
3 questions x you... Which one of the Huawei routers do you recommend? Do you release the Chinese interface video setup? I connected the LAN cable and the router loses the internet connection, is there a specific way to do it?
I recommend the B315 or B618 depends on your budget. Actually you can you Huawei Hilink app (English interface), connect to wifi and configure it. This will be the easiest way.
huawei routers turns bad as it's phones now I'm facing problems on google maps even though my phone is Samsung A71 😐
Nice video i am a new subscriber
That external antenna is to receive cellular signal or to transmit wifi signal?
It is for the cellular signal
thank you very much for this video )))
Welcome 😊
How do I decrypt it?
Do you know?
Hinmy B311 is going on and off on its own , what might be the problem?
Something is wrong with the power adapter, or worser something is wrong with the router itself. Did you factory reset the router?
Anyone can help me to unlock B311As-853 router.. Please 😪
Can increase the network speed or not example u mobile gx30
Can do but you need a 4G router Huawei B618 modded version.
Hey, my router stop working (red light appear)... the message is it couldn't register on the network (I tried two different sim cards). Any help?
Hi, did you try to factory reset the router?
Should I connect the yellow Ethernet cable even if I insert a sim card?
Hi, the yellow ethernet cable can be used to connect your laptop/PC to the router to have a stable connection (instead of WiFi). You don't need to use it if Wifi is doing well.
@@VanTechCorner how does it work? We have the Port setup to "Auto" and also tested with "LAN ONLY" it does not work, the Laptop becomes no IP adress ?
using which unifi package? unifi air or unifi bebas?
Unifi Air
would be much better video if included setting UI and features introduction
Thanks for the feedback :)
yeah thought the same, kinda the reason you watch a video on a product, dont really see the point of a video showing a phone connect to a router??
and the reason you bought this over the more popular b310&b315?
Simple - it is cheaper. At the time of purchase, it is RM 150.
does this router have back-up battery incase I lose power ?
No.
can you lock which cell tower/frequency band you can connect to with this router? my e5573b is trash
Hey, you can do this with Huawei Manager application. It worked great.
@@VanTechCorner Hi , It seems to not work with HmManager , what did you put on the GUI login username?
How do you configure the router for an external antenna?
I hv the same question ... anyone can help ? Tks.
1:38, carefully pry 'square' cover. There will be an SMA port.
Then check inside WebUI for external antenna (usually automatic)
Drop now menu has default auto, external and internal option but unfortunately, the 5dbi external one on dash did not help in my car mobile usage under driver's seat. Not sure but think it makes sense and I set it to internal and default auto. Guess it is a nice 4g router with its internal antenna at stock. Cheers.
Which one is better huawei b312 or huawei b311 (this model)?
Hi, I have no idea on this as I have never tried the B312 before.
@@VanTechCornerمن الافضل b311 او b310 من حيث قوة الاشارة
One question how do you forward ports on this router
I don't think you can since most of the cellular network operators provide private IP address instead of public IP address. If they provide public IP, then you can always do that in the web GUI.
@@VanTechCorner thank you for the info
Hi!
Is it a SML or a SMA antenna connector?
Thanks!
Hi, it is SMA Male connector.
Do I need to activate SIM card through my cell phone before putting it in the router?
Hi, for my case I just insert the SIM CARD and the router auto detect the APN and setup the connection, I don’t need to active it with my phone.
@@VanTechCorner did it require a sim
how much mbps does it supports
As per my test, the device can reach 40 - 50 Mbps, but I think it can do more.
@@VanTechCorner ok thnx
Hi bro, i want to asking about tp link mr6400 vs huawei b311, which one is better?
Hi bro, I will surrly go with mr6400.
@@VanTechCorner ok thanks bro
can u unlock this huawei 4g b311-853 ?

I have the Huawei cube LTE router, and i put the sim card in, connected on phone, it shows the internet connection, But i cannot use the internet, not on phone or tv. What am i doing wrong? It cannot open Safari or youtube or anything, But has all the Lines and says connected to the router. Please help…
Hi, may I know if this SIM card is for router/data usage only for it can be used for calling? Some SIM card only serving data connection when it is inserted to the phone.
Van Tech Corner - I figured it out. Working now 🙋 i just had to activate the sim. And yes its for data. Thank you
Bộ này nếu như dùng sim Vinaphone hàng tháng của em là 5,5gb tốc độ cao hết tốc độ cao về tốc độ thường thì liệu có xem được CZcams không ạ
Đây chỉ là router, tốc độ của gói cước/ nhà mạng em bao nhiêu thì nó chạy bấy nhiêu, và nó hỗ trợ tối đa là 150 Mbps tải và 50 Mbps upload. Câu hỏi của em phải dành cho người bán SIM hoặc xem thử tốc độ thấp của gói em đang dùng là bao nhiêu. Với tốc độ tầm 5 Mbps thì em có thể xem được video ở độ phân giải Full HD.
which is better between this and tp link mr100?
Hey, it should be MR100 for sure
@@VanTechCorner oh, thanks! ill buy it then
@@VanTechCornerCan you please explain why ?
it is possible to connect power line to this router?
Yes it is.
Is a remote management possible for this router?
As per what I know, it is not possible.
I purchase a chinese version. Is there any way that I can find an english instructions how to set-up the router? Also, how to fix when it is just showing red on the connections? TIA
Hey, you can use the Google Translate extension and it can help you translate the page to English. Or, go to Play Store and download HiLink app from Huawei and you can setup the router in English.
@@VanTechCorner Many thanks for the help. Have a nice day.
No worry my friend. It the video help please subscribe to support me. Thanks!
can i used broadband Internet line???
Yes, you can connect the broadband internet line to the network port of the router and get the internet via WiFi.
Bro seen these router being bypass so that it will be able to use unlimited internet on prepaid..... Can u show how to do it...... It bypasses the tethering
From what I know you can do that with the b310 but no b311. Just need root access, and change the packet TTL. There are tutorials on Google for this bro.
How much you rate it out of 10 ??
At the time purchase, the router costs me RM150 ~ $35 (Chinese version). My rating:
Price: 10 (as I can't find other LTE Cat4 cheaper than this one)
Performance: 7 (LTE signal strength is not good as the B315, has only 1 external antenna and 1 ethernet port)
P/P: 9
Thnks for this video, i need to know how to unlock it for all sim-cards please? thnks for any return
Can this router use the external antenna like parabolic antenna ?
Yes it can, there is 1 port for external antenna. If you plan to use external antenna, I suggest the B315 instead of this model for better performance.
@@VanTechCorner thank you so much. My god bless you 🙏🏻
You're welcome!
Can we change the modem firmware to English language?
Hi, if you purchase the Chinese domestic version then we can't. However, if you purchase the internation version there will be the option to change the language. You can find the language selection at the top right corner.
Dose it work in other countries? i see that's a chinese version
Yes it does. I made this video in Malaysia and it was working fine.
Are this modem router support 2g ? Tks before n after
No, it supports 3G UTMS and LTE.
@@VanTechCorner thanks for information 🙏🙏
are this router can be repeater?
Nope, it can either be a 4G/LTE or a normal wireless router with PPPoE/DHCP
how can i fix the red light like the one at 3:03 ?
Hi, may I know if this is fixed?
@@VanTechCorner Yes. We just called the company and they fixed it. Thank you
Tiene solamente una antena?
Sí, solo hay 1 puerto para antena externa.
@@VanTechCorner sabes si se puede poner una antena para exterior o una externa pero más larga? La entrada es SMA? Subscrita
Can this be used in Europe, doesn't matter where i bought it?
@Van Tech Corner hope that you can help me with my query, i would like to buy this in Malaysia and use it in Germany. Will it work internationally?
Yes it should work well in Europe, and Germany. However, this router is a lite version and the signal may not really good. You can give a try with Huawei B315 or even B618/B818 (expensive but strong).

Hi, just download Huawei Hilink on appstore and setup it with English GUI bro. It is easier then web interface with Chinese.
اخوي بعد ماركب الشرحيه ميشتغل موبايلي؟
Does this router work with umobile gx68 plan?
No, it will not. Unless you change the TTL on your computer or use another router to change it.
@@VanTechCorner thank you for the answer. I just read the description, so celcom simcard with unlimited data plan can be used or not?
You can only use unlimited data plan on mobile phone, so it will not work on this router and other model of routers.
@@VanTechCorner unlimited cant use on any router?you sure??
@MTQ: Aziz is asking about Celcom and Umobile Gx86 on this router, and my answer is for this specific router and the plan he asked only.
Can I place any simcard brand there?
Yes if your device is opened lined. Try fb groups for your model they might offer you services for free.

Does this router support openwrt?

i have data base light bleu and conection is too slow can't rich 4mb
Hi, is it blue or green.
This one unlock router international can use
can using sriLanka
please how can i open port on this router please help me
Hi, first of all you need to check if the ISP assign private IP address (normally start with 10.xx, 192.168.xx, 172.16.xx) or Public IP address. If it is a private one there is no way to open the port.
How to reload data for modem
You can use the Huawei HiLink app to access the SMS/Dialing section to reload. The same section can be found when access the web portal.
I cant access the router settings, No passwords seem to work
Hi, you can try to reset the router to default and use the password provided on the label.
Can I live stream with it?
You can surely do it.
Can you port forward this router?
Hi, you can configure port forward with this router; however, it need to be supported by the telco/network operator as well. Most of the network operator only assign private IP and it is impossible to port forward.
@@VanTechCorner Thank you very much so i pretty much need to go to the my operator and tell him to enable that for me?
You need to try first, and if they use private IP for mobile connection, it means not only you but all the users are having this, and it is impossible to requires them to change from private IP to public IP. (Most of the mobile network operator use private IP, except for some mobile broadband)
hi, is this wireless 4g lte router can bridge as normal modem ?
If you plug a network cable to the port, it can be setup as router + AP.
No WPS here
can you upload how to change the language ?
Hey, if you purchased the Chinese version there is no way to change it. You can install HiLink application on your phone and manage it with English.
Site for wach setting meaages, etc
Hi, you can go to 192.168.8.1 to manage it via web interface.
How to connect no password can use wps
Yes, by pressing the WPS button you should be able to do that.
How do i conect to AI life?
Hey, I have never used AI life and I don't think this device can be added to the smart home system. I only use Huawei HiLink app before so sorry I can't help on this.
