No, its going to cost rm20 extra a month as no more rebate. Mine expired couple days back. Decided to hold for a month wait for potential new package, instead of get locked in for another 24m.

Time likely will call u soon and offer 500mbps packages with additional rm10/mth.

I just installed Time broadband 500mbps today. Original Huawei HG8145X6-10 Fiber Termination Unit + builtin WiFi 6 Wireless router.
Run speed test with Mac Book Pro WiFi 6 laptop.

I’m on a 500mb plan and my phone can get more than 500 on wifi 6. I think the speed can be better but maybe not 1gbps la over wifi 6.



Edit: Not using Time’s stock router though. I have a pair of Asus Zenwifi XT8 in a wireless mesh setup.

What promo for 500Mbps package besides 6 months RM 99 and free 1st month?

Buy your own good router if you want to enjoy a fast speed


ZenWiFi XT12

This is common... test again after 1 month ya...

Can Original Huawei HG8145X6-10 use ethernet backhaul to connect 2nd mesh unit?
Anyone tried before ?

Yup i did it. Work fine. I got full 500mbps up/down from ethernet back haul.

U can connect any easymesh certified router/ap. I just make my Maxis KAON router as my additional mesh today.

How you did it?
With mesh setup, both Huawei HG8145X6-10 having same SSID, protected with password.
When I connect 2nd Huawei HG8145X6-10 with ethernet backhaul, the 2nd unit's SSID become Open connection, i.e, anyone can connect to my SSID without password.
Seem like 2nd unit become another AP having same SSID without password.
This is the problem I faced when connecting 2nd unit with ethernet backhaul.

Can share how you managed to connect 2nd mesh unit with ethernet backhaul ?

Of course you can, in fact it's recommended.

Time Installer pair both devices via wireless signal.

i recently got this pair
Huawei Optixstar HG8145X6-10

i am using one of them as router and another as repeater/mesh whatever wanna call it

but i plan to buy another router and i am not sure how to setup both of those huawei as repeater/mesh and only use their wifi in the house

After one month speed will drop?

I tested the 2nd unit so called mesh enabled router is actually not implementing wireless mesh protocol 802.11k/v/r.
It is just a wireless AP or wired AP, i.e., if connected to main router via ethernet cable.
I placed the main router at level 2 and placed the 2nd unit at level one. Both having same WiFi SSID.
I connect to the level 1 SSID and go up to the level 2. My device forever attach to the level 1 SSID.
It will never switch to level 2 SSID seamlessly like other mesh router.
Unless you choose to connect level 2 SSID manually then only it connects to level 2 SSID.
Therefore, the 2nd unit router given definitely not a mesh unit. It is actually acting as a wireless AP.

TIME marketing team is misleading the subscriber with the term "mesh".
In networking term, wireless mesh means a network element that implements 802.11k/v/r protocol.

Hi, I would like to retreat my statement that Huawei Optixstar HG8145X6-10 not implementing 802.11k/v/r protocol.
My previous test showed that my device didn't switch between SSID from main router and 2nd router due to default setting of the
Cascade Link Threshold value is too low, i.e., 200kbps.
Meaning that if the device's data transfer rate lower than 200kbps then it will switch to another SSID that is stronger.
After I increased the cascade link threshold from 200kbps to 40000kbps, my device able to switch between main router and 2nd mesh unit's SSID seamlessly.

Conclusion is Huawei Optixstar HG8145X6-10 is compliant to Easymesh and able to switch between SSID seamlessly.

Ah nice, TIME offered me RM119 for 500Mbps instead of RM139 if I renew my contract, and it's throughout the two years of contract.

your existing speed is 100Mbps ?

Nope. I am already 500.

Where do you find this? There's nothing on my selfcare portal and my contract has ended for a year.
