you'll have to import it. something from huawei or zte, expect the cost to be between 20-35k or wait for jio air fiber/...
I was asking because I use Jio fiber. Almost all pan has an FUP of around 3000GB. Last month my internet disconnected saying that I crossed FUP, I was under the impression that speed would reduce after FUP. But they blocked internet access and I had to recharge again for more than 500RS for 1000GB.
But the interesting thing is that I can enable a hotspot in my mobile and use 5G internet for free. Till now I've not hit any FUP for 5G, not sure if there is any. I am getting more than 500Mbps compared to my 100Mbps Jio Fibre. The problem is that it drains the phone battery very fast and heats the phone.
Anyway, if it is too expensive I will stick with phone hotspot for now

I was also looking for same and found that officially no WiFi router in India have 5G Capability
buy cheap 5G Phone (up to 10k) that have capabilities to run without Battery but keep running/connected with charger/power socket.
Many existing routers support Android USB tethering which is the best option for now. Unavailability of cheap 5G modems and the considerably higher current/power draw with heat is a limitation for small form factors, till 5G modems mature further.I was asking because I use Jio fiber.

sorry for noob question, but how one can use existing router with 5g Sim, I mean do we need to buy SIM router and insert 5G Sim in that Router and use 5G service?
As Existing Routers don't have 5G Chip/capability it will fall back to 4G even though we insert 5G Sim?
I think he meant to tether a phone with a Wi-Fi router for better coverage. Yeah there are no routers supporting 5G SIM ( at least I can't find on Indian sites)
All Asus routers with USB port support Android USB tethering. If you have an old or cheap phone, you can basically use it either as a failover or in some cases for load balancing.
Currently, there is no 5G modem/dongle available in India. Given this, you can opt for either of the two solutions outlined below:-----
In the quest for a workable solution, the most prudent course of action involves the acquisition of a mobile device equipped with a robust Snapdragon or MediaTek modem. It's pivotal that this modem supports 5G carrier aggregation while excelling in signal reception.
Following this, consider investing in an ASUS router known for its USB tethering capabilities. Although it's crucial to note that a majority of ASUS router models support this feature, there are certain exceptions. At this point in time, you can conveniently find an ASUS WiFi 6 router on Amazon for a reasonable price of 6,000 rupees.
The advantages of this configuration are multifaceted. Firstly,It eases the burden on your mobile device by eliminating the need to create a WiFi hotspot.This results in lower operating temperatures for your device and an extended battery life,uninterrupted usage. Furthermore, since tethering also involves power transfer, it may charge your mobile device gradually, ensuring it doesn't deplete rapidly.
In addition, it's worth mentioning the availability of 5G dongles in the Indian market. However, it's important to understand that these dongles do not come equipped with an integrated 5G module. A reputable manufacturer in this niche is Waveshare, and you can find their product here. It's important to note that the 5G module must be procured separately. Currently, the Snapdragon X55 modem is the primary choice available for this purpose, but it may have certain feature limitations to consider.
In the current technology landscape, these are the predominant solutions available to you.
Thank You.

You will have to check the specs of the router to see if it supports it. On Asus, failover option is there on most of the range but load balancing is only available for the costlier options. Below is only an indicative list.

Also, the Indian operators are not placing any orders for 5G dongles anyway, so it is probably the end of the form factor with preference for mobile hotspots.
Dongles drop out as 4G phones, public WiFi find a connect
4G dongles, once popular for providing fast internet connectivity, are now becoming obsolete. The rise of 4G smartphones with WiFi hotspots and the availability of free public WiFi has made dongles unnecessary. Factors such as crashing data prices and increased data usage during the pandemic...
