The LTE modem inside the ZLT P21 is a separate module with its own CPU and closed‑source firmware. Therefore, even the best custom router firmware cannot increase the cellular modem's specifications – its maximum speed remains 150/50 Mbit/s. However, the custom firmware dramatically improves how your router handles that connection.

Many users experience locked features, restricted band selections, and frequent stability issues. Upgrading or switching to an optimized ZLT P21 firmware can unlock the full potential of your hardware, delivering faster speeds and a more reliable connection.
