Safaricom’s Huawei 5G Router is Back in Stock on Masoko for KES 2,999

If you’ve been hunting for Safaricom’s Huawei 5G router and hitting dead ends everywhere, even at Quickmart shelves where only the Baicells unit seemed to have survived, good news: the Huawei router is finally back in stock on Masoko.

And the best part? The price hasn’t changed. It’s still going for KES 2,999. So, if you had your cart ready but couldn’t check out last month, now’s the time to make your move.

Why People Care About This Router

While Safaricom’s Baicells 5G router held the fort for a while, some customers might have preferred a Huawei alternative. It’s smaller, sleeker, and frankly, feels more “plug-and-play” for homes and small offices. Plus, it comes with Huawei’s polished ecosystem touch like HiLink support, an easy-to-use mobile app, and smart Wi-Fi management features.

What You’re Getting Inside the White Box

Here’s a quick run-through of what this KES 2,999 Huawei 5G router packs:

-Ad-

• 5G + 4G ready: Works with both NSA and SA 5G networks, with theoretical download speeds of up to 3.6 Gbps on 5G and 1.6 Gbps on 4G.
• Wi-Fi 6 goodness: Dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz), with combined speeds pushing 2976 Mbps (yes, that’s faster than many home fibre setups).
• Huawei brains: Powered by the Balong 5000 and Gigahome Wi-Fi chipsets for stability and efficiency.
• Simple setup: Comes with two LAN ports, a nano-SIM slot, and Huawei’s HiLink for one-tap device connections.
• Security and smarts: Firewall, VPN support, SMS service, PIN protection, and parental controls—because your router should do more than just sit pretty.

All of that is tucked into a compact, white 600g box.

Bonus: New Router Friends on Masoko

If you’re not chasing 5G just yet, Masoko has also quietly listed the Xiaomi Router AX3200 EU and the Mi 4C Router. They’re more traditional Wi-Fi routers but still good additions for anyone looking to upgrade their home network.

If you missed out the first time, don’t wait too long. Given how fast these units sold out last time out, you might blink and find yourself back with only one or no option.
