2.
Variant model Huawei B612 Router has two variant models supports different LTE frequency bands. The Huawei B528 has only one variant model name B528s-23a, perhaps because it’s only available for Vodafone GigaCube. We are not sure whether there will be new variant model in near future.
3.
WLAN feature Huawei B612 can provide only WiFi on single band 2.4GHz for up to 32 wireless users to connect, but Huawei B528s-23 could provide WiFi one dual-bands and support maximum up to 64 wireless users.
