Thanks! I would assume even the aged & TP Link Router would have sufficient coverage and do the job for now?

High rise is always tricky to predict due to the walls

However, I will estimate that the router cant reliably penetrate more than 2 walls.

I'm shifting to a new place (900 sqft). No contract and relocation fee can be waived.

Currently on speed boost @200mbps, using Time provided TP Link AC1350 duel band router dated back 2020.

Thought of signing up the new 100 mbps - 24 months package and get Huawei WiFi 6 router. It seems the coverage is very bad.

Should I just relocate with old router and stay no contract?

dun waste ur time and tie to new contract by getting the shitty free wifi 6 routers from time...

just buy any cheap tp-link mesh also can beat it...

Would you suggest to upgrade my router from the Huawei OptiXstar HG8145X6 to TP-Link Archer AX53 V2 (the price isn't bad in eCommerce platforms)? Is it compatible with the existing Huawei WA8021V5 mesh?

Can I also get rid of the Huawei Echolife router too? Thanks.

Not compatible in terms of meshing, in fact you can ditch off the rubbish WA8021V5.

If you are referring to the ONT unit that comes with fiber plugging in to it, you cant totally ditch off this, but what you can is turn it to bridge mode so that your self bought mesh system can take over.

1. Sad.... although I found the current WA8021V5 kinda okay covering the coverage of the master bedroom of my 950sqft unit, from the router located in the living room. Hopefully, the TP-Link Archer AX53 can achieve that room (previously the HG8145X6 signal was unable to reach the master bedroom) so Time gave me a few units of WA8021V5.

2. Alright so the ONT cannot be removed, but I can replace that OptiXstar with TP-Link Archer AX53 right?

if it is ok for current coverage, why change... if it is not broken, why break it?

i think ur coverage ok is becos it is covered by 2.4Ghz that's why speed is slow or the coverage is actually not ok also...

just buy any other third party brand mesh system... u can get better speed...
tp-link is cheap and speed is good..
other more pricey one like linksys also not bad...

my study room and other area can get around this speed which is not too bad... latency is ok also..
if this is not my rented place, i may opt for FTTR instead which the speed is more guaranteed.

Hi I try using remote play on my ps5 but got this code error 8801330d.

I have no issue using remote play with the same network. But failed when using mobile data.

Anyone got this problem ans how to fix it?

Yes the OptiXstar HG8145X6 can be replaced.
So generally this would be good, ONU --> TP-Link AX53 --> Another TP-Link Router that supports EasyMesh.

I'm planning to terminate my fibre account for a cheaper bundle of CelcomDigi 5G Home with postpaid plan.

No more contract.
I don't see the option for termination.

Seems like the free speed boost only boosts download speed and not upload speed?

probably their max upload is 500mbps plans since even 2gbps plan gets 500mbps upload

for me I went from 100/100 to 200/200

Basically anything that's AX3000 and above will be better than that provided modem router.

I will get something that's AX4200 and above for a more significant upgrade.

Yup, it's an all-in-one product. If you want to use your own router, you need to contact TIME and request their customer service to switch it to bridge mode (they can do it remotely) then you can proceed with the usual PPPOE config as usual.

PPPOE details available on self care portal.

do share your thoughts after change to new WiFi router ya
I also planning to replace the stock TIME WiFi Modem Router...
