been leveraging zerolution to replace devices as they age.

since i'm staying on maxis for long term, might as well leverage cheaper price than buying full RRP upfront. the line still have to subscribe regardless on device.

was enjoying the same with celcom's and digi's equivalent, but i've abandoned them for they fully insists on paying large amount upfront and must use ccard autodebit; what for being contracted but no different than buying the phone outright.

You know what's the joke?

"Ok, dah upgrade fibre ke 500Mbps. Nanti saya proses abang punya TV; detail dah ambil hari tu."

That was 2 weeks ago. He never did.

Until I knocked door again. Today.

/me flips table

I went CentreF: "abang tak layak zerolution."

I went CentreB: "abang layak zerolution. tiada downpayment."

I went CentreZ: "abang layak zerolution, tapi kena upfront RM800."

Those are responses across peninsula, not a specific state.

Not in a hurry. So not disappointed lah.
No wonder no email confirmation of the zerolution ever arrived. Until today.

Surprised to check that the tv is rated 24kg+ without stand, 31kg+ with stand!
I thought can fix to wall later on my own, but now ..... i am already imagining of the coming backpain just to lift it up.

[ disable dhcp, set SSID to be the same or different, then join using its LAN port back to AX20 ] ?

the TCP/IP internet works with public IP.

if your router is assigned public IP, it can "publish" whatever port directly on the internet; anyone will be able to connect to such port. (for simplicity in explaining, put aside issue of restricting who can access.)

if your router is assigned private IP, it needs to be NAT-ted into a public IP.
unfortunately, your private-to-public NAT assignment is not 1-to-1; ISP assigns many subscribers unique private IP, then NAT them all together behind 1 public IP. in such situation of many-to-1 mapping, it is almost impossible for the NAT to accept new incoming connection from the internet as it won't know to which subscriber such connection is meant for.

if you need to host something directly from your home to be accessible from the internet (dvr, home security, game server, streaming, etc.) then you won't be able to do so if you are on private IP assignment, as your router is unreachable from the internet.

Set up was initially 1 BTU + 1 router.

Later, 2 mesh unit (same model as router) were added.

After unplugging for some time, today I teturned to switch on BTU + main router.

But wifi never returned, despite "Internet" light is on.

Since they were now configured as 3-gang mesh set, is it not able to function anymore when the mesh brothers are incomplete?

Make KPDNKK report?
Or play along for him to appear then *bam* solve it?

Put blame where it should be.
This was not TM itself.
It's an overzealous agent.

This was my concern; that TM (agent) will play dirty by putting reservation if i ever check my address with them.
I was so guarded against the possibility, that I never attempted to check my greenfield housing address with TM. Straight walk-in to Maxis Centre, which I was glad I did as the CS told me their Centre's front-end is more up-to-date compared to the web front-end. CS assured me Maxis have dedicated team that will chase TM to create entry specific for my address which was not yet in the system.

My case, got a few non-contiguous, non-adjacent addresses on same road appeared inside system, but not mine.

My uneducated guess is, it's First-Come-First-Registered melee.

Since CS assured me Maxis itself will chase after to create address, I just proceed lorrr. The pole and black db box is immediately right behind my address. Just give the db identification.

Mereka lupa - HSBB network itu geran kerajaan, TM hanya dilantik mentadbir.
Kalau terus buat perangai macam ini, lets give to a carrier-neutral party to manage it - DNB.

1. This Fibre In A Box is just default "placeholder" while waiting for your actual fibre to be installed. You can actually sign up fibre anytime with Maxis, and still get this. I would advise that you do not play to the urgency of the agent, because ....

2. How soon and how "confirmed" is TM wiring your building? You will still be liable to pay for this Fibre In the Box in meantime.

3. Is there any exclusivity deal between your building management and TM (e.g. "we will wire your building but all must use Unifi in the first 2 years from service start date.) I'm not versed if such deal is valid or enforceable, but, I am just bringing it up for you to ponder and find out. (Also, consider it unfair lah if building convinced you to come in when no one else wanted to, and you spent doing cabling but competitors gets to snatch business instead, right?)

4. Will TM eventually make available a port for Maxis to service you? If you subscribed to Maxis too early and Maxis end up hammering TM even before cabling is done, what's the possibility of tit-for-tat not enough port right from outset? (my mind is playing game.) As narrated somewhere in this forum just few days ago, all it takes is for TM to miss out your address in the HSBB database, or, for TM to place reservation on your address as if you signed up with them.

Just to relate my experience with that Box; it comes with router, USB dongle modem to attach, AND Zerolution contract.

Maxis gave another router when fibre is installed
~1month later; incidentally the same model as the one in this Box.

I was told to return the Box to Maxis Centre; router, dongle modem, SIM. Better if you keep its original packaging. I was then to call 123 to inform them that I've returned the set because fibre installation was completed; only 123 can prorate+cancel the associated 4G subscription and Zerolution contract.

Now, the fibre itself comes with backup USB dongle modem. While I was returning whole Box to Maxis Centre, I enquired about backup 4G. Centre explained that another dongle will always be delivered separately at later date, but since I was already in Centre and had asked about it, they said just take back the existing dongle modem for that purpose, and they issued me a new SIM for it.

(Else, Centre will just keep the Box etc idle inside store. sounds like not going to be re-issued to another customer?)

A week later, the fibre installer did call me up toarrange plugging in a backup dongle (in his job sheet), which I declined and explained to him that Centre told me to reuse the one from Box and already issued a SIM as well, so he no need to drive 30km just to deliver a duplicate.

The OG "Postpaid Infinite 150" is NOT 999GB FUP.
Testimony from other users - you can call DiGi CS to reset quota anytime it hits another 1TB. Do not confuse with the later "Postpaid 150" (look at the name), which is - yes - 1TB quota non-refreshable if you keep renewing 12mth contract.

Hmmm.... i think there was something about -anything- wireless on Maxis is capped to FUP 300GB per whole account; when it then will start to tinker with video.
i.e. fibre 4G backup + all mobile postpaid in same account = total 300GB FUP, which it will then start to affect quality of video streaming.

You wish...

a pair or a single unit?

I started with 100Mbps, gets Huawei.
After upgrade to 500Mbps, still reuse same Huawei but gets 2 additional as mesh.

actually not that i cared which router brand.
already ordered additional 2 pairs (4 units) of Deco M9 Plus through Unifi subscription. I probably just maintain the Huawei router for time being, and maybe dedicate the additional 2 Huawei units for home automation and CCTV devices.
