QUOTE(wei8200 @ May 14 2018, 09:15 PM) Can watch 4k netflix in smart tv or by ps4 device?whith 1tb video walla? Shouldn't be any issue watching 4K video in Netflix using Smart TV. Max can go is 4K @ 60fps. If you want to go ahead with 8K video quality, the speed of the connection need to be at least 100mbps and above then only smooth.

QUOTE(Charlize1103 @ May 15 2018, 04:27 AM) Has anybody tried to connect the Huawei B618 to a switch or other LAN devices? I need 3 LAN ports but seems like it only has one LAN port the other is WAN port Nope. For my understanding, this router reception is good enough to use in landed property unless your house is bungalow in which required external antenna to boost the connection. Can try to survey around to get the best quote for this external antenna that support for this device.

QUOTE(GC 2014 @ May 15 2018, 08:37 AM) Yeah, currently the CELCOM broadband is package with Huawei router, but I am not sure which model. currently I try to use the Maxis line (data plan) in my HP to connect as wireless WIFI..the signal is very weak when I put at downstair, even watch in same level living hall area.. how can we know whether the router is strong enough ? any spec in the machine can tell ? For smart TV, do we know which line of spec can tell us their wireless reception strength ? Refer product specification for Huawei B618 router as per below: http://www.capestone.nl/files/images/HUAWE...d-datasheet.pdf

QUOTE(GC 2014 @ May 15 2018, 08:39 AM) That means for 8k video quality, must get the high end Unify with 100MBPS speed ? It depends on the coverage of your area. If managed get 4G+ network with full bar reception, can easily reached more than 100mbps.

QUOTE(wei8200 @ May 15 2018, 12:18 PM) I would like to ask if watching netflix in smart tv also deducting video walla data Or will it deduct network data? As long as your smart TV is connected to this Celcom Wireless Network for Netflix, it will utilized the Video Walla data.

QUOTE(Charlize1103 @ May 15 2018, 04:00 PM) Is there anyway to differentiate Video Walla data usage from the Network Data usage ? Of course. You can login Celcom Online Customer Service to check the normal data usage. For Video Walla, you may need to message them or call their hotline to check the details.

QUOTE(Charlize1103 @ May 19 2018, 09:39 PM) I had problem too on May 18. Suddenly no connection (no signal bar at all) for few minutes and later it became on and off 2 bars and 1 bar. After half and hour it went back to normal This is due to auto update time and date. Once everything synchronized appropriately, this issue will not happen.

QUOTE(Abk92 @ May 20 2018, 10:05 PM) Guys Just curious... Below my current connection.. [attachmentid=9811452] Below my netflix resolution.. [attachmentid=9811450] So I guess it need more speed to handle 4k resolution rite...  But I can watch 4k resolution in youtube without any buffered. Any idea to lock or setting in netflix for 4k ? Netflix required more data to run 4k @ 60fps while standard Youtube resolution is 4k @ 30fps. Your connection required at least 40mbps and above to run smoothly in Netflix. Can refer below article for more information about the data usage. https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones/Guide...oes-YouTube-Use

QUOTE(Charlize1103 @ May 22 2018, 11:31 PM) Anybody know why download speed of Celcom Home Wireless has gone down to 2.0 MBps since yesterday? Try to restart your router and do Oakla Speed Test. For my understanding, if the tower you connected got a lot of users using it at the same time, the speed might be affected. So far OK for mine.

QUOTE(magresus @ May 25 2018, 02:24 PM) When did you get your Huawei B618 router? I am guessing the older batches are not Simlock. I applied for mine on 19th May. If you do apply best have it check before you leave the Blue Cube center. Put in a different telco sim card in and if the Mode light on the router is a solid red then it probably is locked. Best put in the Celcom sim card in 1st to test the router is working as intended (all aqua blue colour lights lit up) and then put in a different telco sim card. Another way to test is to go to 192.168.8.1 of the router and the 1st thing you will see is router is locked if a different simcard is in. Hope Celcom don't decide to update the firmware of the router to be simlock after couple months in. Blue Cube didn't have the code to unlock it and it stays lock to Celcom according to the Blue Cube I went to. Try to do firmware update for Huawei B618 and perform factory reset. It will overwrite the lock simcard option in the router and restore back to default unlock variant. This post has been edited by Jeffreynsx: May 26 2018, 07:20 AM

QUOTE(PoisonSoul @ May 26 2018, 11:40 PM) It works? I tried this with phones and it doesnt work tho. If it works, it's a miracle. But what I understand is that, when you turn on any telecommunication device, it will send a signal to like a server with a database full of IMEIs. Then it will check for ur device's IMEI inside. If found inside like a "locked" section of the database, then will return "LOCKED" or watever they want the server to return. Otherwise, it will let it run. That is what I read from last time somewhere on how IMEI blocking works. Can't find it right now. Apart from reset the Huawei B618 router, can refer to the video below to unlock the device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RvsaDHXir4

QUOTE(Charlize1103 @ Jun 1 2018, 10:37 PM) I still can not. Does that mean they have to turn on individually? That's really weird  Try to call Celcom Customer Care to unlock the website for you. They need your wireless broadband number to proceed with the service and it's done through individual account. VPN can bypass this process but a good VPN will incur some cost to give you the quality of the service.

QUOTE(rgchai @ Jun 10 2018, 01:13 PM) Just subscribed Celcom home internet 70 plan yesterday. Realized that the modem is simlocked now. Anyone managed to unlock it so far? You need to bring your router to Huawei Service Centre @ Amcorp Mall to unlock the device. Alternatively, you can pay a small fees to Celcom Blue Cube to unlock your device.Another thing is, Celcom didn't provides convenient way to check internet usage. I tried the Celcom Life app, forever can't get the SMS for registration. Today I made another testing, to use my current Celcom postpaid number to register. I managed to login, and I can change the service number to my home internet number inside the app. But.... The app shows my balance as 0. Something's wrong with the apps I think. You need to use Celcom Online Customer Service (OCS) to check your usage. There are no way to check your balance via Android or iOS device.

QUOTE(leonlim619 @ Jun 13 2018, 02:39 PM) is there any charges if bring the modem to Huawei Service Centre @ Amcorp Mall to unlock? Just bring your router and official receipt of the termination from Celcom Cube to proceed with the unlock device. No charges for that since it's still under warranty.

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Jun 15 2018, 03:52 AM) Very pissed off you can only check your normal data through celcom website but cant track your walla/video data. This is the problem with Celcom OCS system. They said going to restructure the interface but I'm not sure how long it takes to make a change.
