1. What are the advantages of a 320 model compared to a 923? Does it make sense to look for exactly 320? If so, in which stores can I find it (so far I have not succeeded, everywhere 923)
Support for other frequency ranges. 320 supports LTE B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B20, B38, and 920 supports B1, B3, B7, B38, B40, B41. Frequencies used in different countries can be viewed at
Wikipedia page.
Only 923 are delivered to Russia. 320 must be ordered via the Internet.
2. Does it switch automatically from mobile Internet to known WiFi networks (for example, home)? If so, how does this happen? Does the SID of the network change at the same time or does it work under its own, but does the connection to the network go through the home network?
Yes, it should be, but I have not tried. SSID does not change.
3. The process of setting up a new mobile network provider is automatic or you need to manually specify the connection parameters (APN, numbers, passwords ...)
Automatic: the router has an APN base for different operators in the world. But you can configure it manually.
4. Does flashing (unlocking) a modem somehow affect its standard functions or only add new features, without harming existing ones?
Does not affect standard features for the worse. This router is sold only unlocked, because operators do not sell it, only ordinary shops.
PS: I didn’t find alternatives to this model, but suddenly, if there are similar analogues, which ones do you recommend paying attention to, so that in one device there is a mobile network, and as an access point from a wired Internet, and a repeater?
E5885. An analogue of this model, only on the new platform, and with a larger battery, at a reasonable price.
