I am not a speed hog. Work NBN ****es me as it fails at time and I know it as the phones divert to my mobile

The chip "Snapdragon X50 5G" is in a few products. 5G Wi-Fi Pro -Optus has one to. A commercial product is a little more my needs so " Comset CM950W" seem likely to me.

On the data side I have to say wow. Telstra does not seem to be price gouging at all (https://www.telstra.com.au/internet/mobile-broadband/telstra/5g-wi-fi-pro'tc=TCO|POSPC|BR|PH|STD|PMMB|5GWiFiPro&sacid=71700000083024678&sakwid=p63423944900&sac=Telstra+Consumer+%7C+Postpaid+%7C+Standard+%7C +Mobile+Broadband+%7C+5G+WiFi+Pro+%7C+BR+%7C+PH&saadg=Telstra-+5G+WiFi+Pro+-+Brand+Headterms&saadgid=58700007044717862&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAjwhuCKBhADEiwA1HegOeL8BCyF9d-of7X5hmMdD7bbSOH5AfQiLEYSx-gBIcKev2rhNow30xoCO5AQAvD_BwE#plancardgroupsection ). optus has home plans and a modem as well (https://www.optus.com.au/for-you/broadband-nbn/5g-home-broadband/5g-home-broadband-plan?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhcb-ls6t8wIVp51LBR1gxQAiEAAYASAAEgLWKPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds).

Back to the Comset. "1 Gigabit WAN/LAN port for [B]automatic failover between fixed NBN/ADSL and mobile 4G or 5G, as well as a GPIO with four digital input/output ports. Other features include VPN IPSEC, PPTP (Server and Client), L2TP and OpenVPN to establish a secure connection over the 4G/5G network."

I am sold on the underlined an bold bit IF I can get it set up. Oddly I just might test it at home as the cost for 5g is About the same as our NBN plan. Has anyone tried 5G and thoughts or issues for home /work other than the big issue of 5G Coverage[bigwhistle]
