Never mind. I am not too keen on using the original firmware anyway.

Usd 279 on Amazon... Big difference with Malaysia price
https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Gigabit-Wirel...e/dp/B00GJF6RRA

Bought it today at Sri Computers, Low Yat Plaza.

There are mountains of WS880s to be sold. Sure got stock for everyone.

Wireless AC link speed out of the box.

Not bad.

Thanks to TS and raynman - just purchased the WS880. Looking for a guide to flash it to Xwrt-Vortex on a Mac.

Can straight use out of the box? Total noob with modem here. Only using 4mpbs streamyx, will have change in my speed or coverage?

Now using ASUS. WiFi speed is quite bad, have to use LAN cable to ensure zero ping/lag for gaming.

Yes, can support UniFi out of the box. Using it right now.

Thinking to get one soon..
How is the wifi speed/stability/range? Any hangup or slowdown?

Does not seems to support IPv6 out of the box.

this ipv6 is for local home network use rite?
important ke? any advantage to switch to ipv6 rather than using the old ipv4?

Both stock firmware and AsusWRT firmware support IPV6 out of the box

Weird, what am I not doing right... Am using WS880 now and ran a test.

Help!

I can't boot into the emergency upgrade page even though I follow the procedure below.

It just brings me back to the original Huawei firmware login page with all settings intact.

As if the unlock and flash procedure didn't work at all.

Any ideas how?

Just notice TS procedures miss one step, before you unplug the power cable from the router, set your computer IP address to 192.168.1.XXX (XXX = anything other than 1), subnet mask：255.255.255.0. Better also switch off your antivirus and firewall before you proceed.

Funny, but my WS880 default IP address is 192.168.3.1

Have I got a faulty unit?

Same.

Cannot reset and boot up to emergency firmware upgrade page after following the procedure.

I am same as you.

Cannot get IPv6 to work.

IP address 192.168.3.1 is the WS880 router default IP address, no need change anything.

just to know other solution, if you still can not enter the recovery mode, can you set your network speed to 100 Mbps Full Duplex of your lan before proceed



And also you can ping the IP 192.168.1.1 to see any positive feedback before proceed

Can this support Maxis fibre ?

Confirm no.

TM-Unifi and Time Fibre only.

hi..is the original firmware good enough for daily use?don't really wanna mess with the firmware..just need a robust router..thanks
