Since a literal hardware upgrade isn't possible, the true "upgrade" involves moving to a Huawei model designed for the 4G era. Huawei has released several direct successors that maintain the pebble-like design of the E5220 but add high-speed LTE support. The Huawei E5573 and E5576
For its time, 21.6 Mbps was impressive. It was sufficient for streaming standard definition video, video conferencing, and browsing. However, the device lacks the necessary radio hardware antennas and modems to decode signals, which is the technical standard for 4G.
The is a journey, not a patch. You cannot upgrade the device itself, but you can upgrade your experience by moving to a proper 4G LTE hotspot.
As carriers expand their 4G and 5G networks, they are actively reallocating spectrum. In many regions, the frequencies once dedicated to 3G are being refarmed for 4G LTE. This means the bandwidth available for your E5220 is shrinking, resulting in slower speeds and higher latency.
The natural hardware upgrade to an E5220 is the (pocket router) or E8372 (USB dongle/stick).
Think of it like a radio: if you have a radio built only to receive AM frequencies, you cannot install software to make it receive FM frequencies. It lacks the internal circuitry to detect and decode those specific waves. Similarly, the Huawei E5220 lacks the LTE chipset required to connect to 4G towers.
Many users search for "firmware update to 4G," but the E5220 lacks the physical radio antenna hardware required for 4G LTE. An "upgrade" requires a strategic shift. Let’s dive into your real-world options.
