I just migrated from Unifi to Maxis. Got the free modem router, usb dongle and sim card for the dongle. When configuring the maxis tp link router, the technician and I noticed that the usb dongle only works with the router. I have a tp link ax73 at home, the usb dongle doesn't work,even though there is a USB port on the router as well. Tried the dongle at different usb devices, it doesn't work as well. Tried the sim in my tablet, no 4g. I also have subscribe to Maxis data sim, that one works well with my android devices.
So this sim, dongle is only meant for the router?

QUOTE(PRSXFENG @ Dec 9 2024, 10:46 AM) Yes, specifically The dongle checks for "Maxis_Archer_c5v" hostname All of the Maxis provided routers report themselves as that model to the dongle If it's not that, the dongle refuses to connect However, it is not SIM locked, you could insert other SIM cards in there and use it for internet, if you pair it with their router. The SIM is probably SIM locked to dongle as well but I have not investigated it. Yes. Since I have another data sim from maxis, putting it in the dongle works. I was thinking that since maxis gave me a new sim, I could cancel my data sim which I place in my car HU and use the new maxis sim instead. Thanks for the info. QUOTE(YoungMan @ Dec 9 2024, 11:01 AM) Read somewhere in this forum that if you use the sim elsewhere, Maxis will block it. It is only meant for backup of your current Maxis fibre. I see. Thanks. |
