Huawei B593 different models
Sunday, November 10. 2013
Just to clarify: My exact mode of Huawei 4G router is CPE B593u-12.
So my previous writings about 3's firmware and Saunalahti's firmware are specific to that exact model. According to 4G LTE mall website following models exist:
- B593u-12: FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz
- B593s-22: TDD 2600 FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz (Speed to 150Mbps)
- B593s-82: TDD 2300/2600MHz
- B593s-58: TDD 1900/2300/2600MHz
- B593s-58b: TDD 1900/2300MHz
- B593u-91: TDD 2300/2600MHz
- B593u: LTE FDD 850/900/1800/1900/2600 MHz
- B593s: Band 42 (3400-3600MHz)
- B593u-513
- B593s-42
- B593u-501
- B593u-41
- B593s-601
In Finland the most common models are the two first ones: u-12 and s-22.
There are number of discussions for getting a new firmware (they even copy/paste stuff from my blog without crediting me as the author), but please carefully find out the exact model before upgrading. If you manage to inject an incorrect firmware, it will most likely brick your thing. I didn't try that and don't plan to.
What's funny is that Huawei does not publicly have a B593 in their product portfolio, apparently their only sales/support channel is via their client Telcos and they don't publish anything except the GPL-code required by GPL v2 license.
