Best answers

Does the Huawei B535 aggregate all the LTE bands the B525 does, and how do the models differ?

No — the B535 does not aggregate all the bands the B525 does; it supports two-band LTE carrier aggregation with combos like B7+B3, B7+B1, B7+B20, B3+B1, B3+B20 and B1+B20, while the B525 does not support B7+B1 and B3+B1 [#18466853] The B535 uses an LTE Cat 7 modem [#18466853] It also supports 2-band uplink aggregation, although Polish operators do not use uplink aggregation [#18466853]

    To Orange in your area B525 and so exaggerated and to Play B535 too weak. Aggregates two LTE bands, i.e. B7 + B3, B7 + B1, B7 + B20, B3 + B1, B3 + B20 and B1 + B20. B525 does not support B7 + B1 and B3 + B1. B535 has a cat LTE7 modem, so it also supports 2-band aggregation on UL, Polish operators do not use aggregation on UL.

    But it is a router with 3 CC CA, so why compare it with B535 with 2 CC CA, it has a modem LTE 9 cat, of course it aggregates the same 2 bands as B535, the rest of the link I gave is a full list of bands that aggregate B715 in 3 CC CA and in 2 CC CA.

    Yes, this one is good but then you will have to do some treatments on it but I will give it when you have this starter.

    The schedule does not show the truth, i.e. the aggregation of B7 + B3 + B1 and the router has the possibility of aggregating 3 CC CA.

    Does the B 715 aggregate 3 bands also when it has two external antennas connected or only 2 bands like the B818?

    It aggregates 3 bands regardless of antennas, but still not worth attention for today.


    Why?

    Aggregation of 3 LTE bands in MIMO2x2 with QAM64 modulation, there are 12/15/19 LTE routers that aggregate 4 LTE bands.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion compares the Huawei B535 and B525 routers, focusing on their band aggregation capabilities and features. The B535 supports two LTE band aggregations, including combinations like B7 + B3 and B3 + B20, while the B525 lacks support for certain combinations such as B7 + B1. The B535 features a Cat LTE7 modem, allowing for better performance, although Polish operators do not utilize uplink aggregation. The B715 model is also mentioned, which aggregates three LTE bands and is considered superior due to its Cat 9 modem. Pricing for the B535 is discussed, with suggestions that it can be found for around PLN 350 to PLN 600, depending on the source. The conversation also touches on the performance of different models in specific network conditions.

FAQ

TL;DR: B535 does 2‑band CA; B525 lacks B7+B1 and B3+B1. "Aggregates two LTE bands," notes matek451. B535 is Cat 7 and UL‑CA isn’t used by Polish operators. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466853]

Why it matters: If you’re choosing between Huawei B535, B525, or B715 for Polish LTE, this clarifies band aggregation, value, and antenna behavior.

Quick Facts

What’s the real difference between Huawei B535 and B525 band aggregation?

B535 aggregates two LTE bands and supports pairs like B7+B1 and B3+B1. B525 cannot combine those two specific pairs. Choose B535 if you rely on B1 with B3 or B7. "Aggregates two LTE bands," confirms an expert. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466853]

Does the B535 aggregate all LTE bands or only some combos?

B535 does 2CA, not three‑band CA. It supports B7+B3, B7+B1, B7+B20, B3+B1, B3+B20, and B1+B20. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466853]

Which 2CA band pairs does the B535 support?

Supported 2CA pairs include: B7+B3, B7+B1, B7+B20, B3+B1, B3+B20, and B1+B20. These cover common Polish deployments. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466853]

Is the B535 the best router to buy under 600 PLN?

For approx. PLN 350, you can buy a new B535 from operator distribution. With around PLN 600, you can step up to B715 with 3‑band aggregation. That offers more headroom. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466969]

How much should I pay for a B535 in Poland?

Target PLN 250–300 as fair value. This reflects typical pricing for this model. "It is worth PLN 250–300," advises the expert. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466898]

Does the B715 aggregate three bands even with external antennas attached?

Yes. "It aggregates 3 bands regardless of antennas." You can connect two external antennas and still get 3CA. [Elektroda, matek451, post #19297596]

Does the B715 support the same 2CA pairs as the B535?

Yes. It aggregates the same two‑band combinations as B535 when operating in 2CA. It also adds 3CA capability. "Of course it aggregates the same 2 bands as B535." [Elektroda, matek451, post #18467036]

Why might the B715 be a less attractive choice today?

It is only LTE Cat 9 with 3CA using MIMO 2x2 and QAM64. Newer Cat 12/15/19 routers support four‑band aggregation for higher capacity. Consider them if 4CA is available. [Elektroda, matek451, post #19297665]

Do Polish networks use uplink aggregation, and does the B535 support it?

B535’s Cat 7 modem supports two‑band UL aggregation. Polish operators do not use UL aggregation. Expect standard single‑carrier uplink. [Elektroda, matek451, post #18466853]

How can I quickly test an operator before choosing between B535 and B715?

Use Play’s 4G LTE starter to evaluate performance before buying.
  1. Buy the referenced Play Internet starter.
  2. Insert the SIM in your router and activate.
  3. Test speeds at your location during intended hours. "Yes, this one is good." [Elektroda, matek451, post #18467327]
