I just registered 150GB plan 2days ago. Speed is averaging around 40 to 50MB.

Can someone clarify the following -
1- Is the speed normal or should it better pending on location? Can Celcom check the region speedrate within the area?
2- If i use booster, can it help to increase the speed?
3- I am using media box (Android) and ipad to surf Youtube (App). How do they or I know that it would deduct from Walla 1TB quota? Same with other apps as well.

Thank you.

Using it for a about 1 week + now at 2 different location , using the RM100 package. My findings

1. speed varies (1 house in bangsar south is consistent at 20mbps++, 2nd house at jalan pudu consistent at 80bmps++ minimum)
2. easy to use except today, it had red light at the MODE section. I believe by changing the DNS at admin section fixed this ( some say this drops the speed as the dns im using is public google dns) . That may be true at before this at the pudu house its at 100 mbps but after dns change is bout 80-90++ mbps.  For me the speed is good enough.
3. Im using it to give internet to 2 laptops, 1 tv, 2 handphones. All no problems.
4. I checked the usage details thru celcom life app - tho the app seems buggy and I feel its not really updating the usage in real time.
5. about 2 hours of 4k youtube usage on my 55inch led tv, took out around 22GB from video walla.

current summary- its something i think ill keep since the portability is very useful when i travel as most times when im in hotel and in house internet sucks to even watch netflix. Im just evaluating now on should i upgrade to the rm150 with 1TB video walla. Needs to further abuse/stress test the service in the next 2 weeks to draw a conclusion

May I know how did you change the DNS at admin section? I am getting 30+ speed only.

Damn.. the speed dropped to 4 to 5mb as compared to when I purchased it, which was running around 40mb.

Any one encountering this issue ..I am located at Ipoh area.

If we reset the modem, do we need to reconfigure the settings again or just bring back to Celcom to reset the modem.

I opened the complaint to them when my speed was running 4 to 8MB, as compared the 1st time usage/ 40 to 50MB. After the reboot their port, the speed is much better, averaging around 14 to 16MB.

Any advise?

Didn't expected Celcom signal is so weak in Ipoh Garden area...  blink.gif

Basically, you just need to reconfigure the settings by yourself, for example WIFI password, login name + password....

Yeah bro .. i didnt expect that either. As i said, when i switch on the first time and use it for several days, the signal was 40plus. Suddenly, it dropped to 4 to 8 only.
I have changed the password, etc .. how does that help to improve it? I am thinking of resetting the modem but not sure if the configurations will out since it is from Celcom.

[quote=alexchew_2020,May 9 2019, 03:36 AM]if using android phone install a huawei apps called hmanager look around. it's used to pair with b618, 22d ver modem when idle it wont connect as 4G+, or it wont run 4G+ as priority due to firmware issue. if using the apps u can force it to 4g+, when forcing call wont works. call only work when is in auto mode. meanwhile u also can monitor, see which band is good. b3, b7 or b3+b7. do a compare.
reset no need reconfigure..only wifi pass, web ui pass. rest is auto.

hmanager apps

signal strength
[attachmentid=10241941]

to know u get a good spot in in door/good coverage or not.
RSRP <100dbm (lower better) , SINR >0dbm higher betteR)

both also will directly effect your speed if it's weak. seing 3, 4 or 5 bar signal u only know roughly signal strength.

My answers to your response =
< wifi pass on my devices or the HW modem? If it is HW modem, it is given when i purchase it and it is located underneath it. What is the web UI password?>
< Thanks for sharing >
< Thanks for sharing >
<The modem is showing full bar and blue dot at the bottom. This is indicating good coverage. What puzzles me is that, initial use was showing good speed but recently dropped down. Maybe the area is now congested. This is what the Celcom service group replied back>

web ui password, if default  modem is username admin, pass is admin.

could be congested. hence is a try for congested area. lock band is just another method only u connect to the band which is not congested. example like b3, b7 or b3+b7. either one..using hmanager apps.

the modem indicate led light just for display. actual good signal or not good your modem spot in indoor refer reading of rsrp n sinr.

Thank you for your explanation. I will try it out later and lock at the mentioned bandwidth.

I live at Station 18, Pengkalan area. Last month Celcom agent call me up and said Celcom has added a new antenna around my home and I could enjoy there service now. So without any doubt I subscribed the service immediately and terminated my Streamyx 8Mbps which also cost me more then Celcom. I know that wireless broadband is not going to be stable and the speed usually depend on how many active users in the area. Anyway what I wanted is just to be able to stream 4K content on my TV. And it does works very well with Celcom Home Wireless Broadband.

My speed here at Pengkalan are very decent,

Over the month there was some up and down on speed but most of the time are very decent.

Maybe Ipoh Garden area are too pack with Celcom users. Hope Celcom will add more antenna and your speed will became better.

Best regard.

Thanks for sharing the information. Celcom did call me up and said my signal is from Pantai hospital antenna, which is why congested. New antenna near Kintacity would be up by end of q3 this year.
Guess I have to wait for it.

I noticed the modem is giving 2 different signal, one is normal and other is 5G.
I tried both signal and both giving same speed, which is still ard 10MB to 15MB.

Is there any different between both?
