I have just noticed that my Huawei 4G RBI gateway device, which I had to replace the other day, no longer gives me signal strength indications in bars. I don't know if this has to do with the router, or with Vodafone. Everything works peachy keen so no problem and no complaint, but I kind of miss the bars as a quick rough indicator of relative signal strength.

I thought I should update this. Our tower just received a software upgrade and I also got a firmware upgrade to go with that. Our signal strength and quality values have shot up. For the first time ever, I have four solid bars of signal. RSRQ is -5 db, RSRP -103 dbm, RSSI -73 dbm. I just ran two speed tests. The first was about what I had been getting, <20 Mb/s, but then I thought to check the antenna setting since the interface has changed and that was incorrect so I set it to dual external antennas, which is what I have. Speed test went up to 30 Mb/s, which though not spectacular is better than it has been for a long time, and that is on a weekend during school holidays. Overall everything is much better than it was and if it stays this way I have no complaints.
