Configuration wise it doesn't have as many options as some of the higher end offerings but I find it a good bit of equipment. For example, it won't respond to internet pings, so you can't run a BQM (although if there is another device on your network that does respond to pings, you can use that). I don't think you can change the DNS on it (though I haven't tried), and you can't gain remote access to the router setup.
I don't find any of these things a problem which is why I recommend it.

Huawei cabinets I believe use Broadcom modems whilst ECI cabinets use Lantiq modems. They are all compatible however and don't need to be matched, although some people prefer matching to their cabinet type. I have read some forum posts stating that where both types were tested, the Broadcom performed better on a Huawei cabinet. But I have also seen forum posts stating that Lantiq performed better on a Huawei cabinet.
So take from that what you will

I wanted something with better wi-fi coverage to replace the TG582n. When I looked at the features of the HH5 based on the price I could get one from Ebay, I decided to go for it as it was a lot cheaper than most of the other combined modem/routers with dual band wi-fi and gigabit ethernet ports.
Have been running it for around 6 months with no issues at all, was a good purchase for me.
You have probably already done this, but switch off smart wi-fi and give the 5GHz wi-fi a different SSID to the 2.4GHz wi-fi. I had some wi-fi connectivity issues before doing this. Everything is rock solid now though.

Wifi range is decent and no random reboots either.
