hi bro,

1. i see time now is giving wifi6 mesh router, is this router anything close to ax3 pro (quad core)? or still ax3 pro is much much better?
AX3 Pro (Quad Core).

2. during weekend the cs able to change the 2in1 modem to bridge mode or not?
Better not, as sometimes it involves provisioning team assistance.

3. i have the huawei v5 2in1 modem, last time you told me can buy ax3 pro (quad core) to upgrade, so can i check with you the steps stated below are correct or not?

a. connect the ax3 wan with huawei v5 port1
b. then call cs to change v5 to bridge mode
Yes, Step a & b sequence not important.
c. only take like 15 minutes to change right?
Not really, sometimes they need some time to do that.
d. i see the ax3 booklet said go 192.168.3.1 for setting?
Yes, that is for you to login into the admin panel to configure the router.
e. then key in the pppoe details which can be found in time selfcare? xxx@timebb & password?
f. then done right?
Yes, and your WiFi settings as well.

any extra steps that i missed out?

please help to see see, thank you much! 

I'm getting Time in my new apartment soon.

I have some Cat6 / Cat5e cables already laid in the walls, so there is some flexibility. I'd like some opinions where I should place 1 extra Asus AImesh node. Currently I have marked at the end of a hall way. I would like to gain good wifi all over of course. Then the wired points will serve my HTPC / work PC / NAS. At LAN Points obviously if i place the mesh node it will be best with a Ethernet backhaul but at the same time I dont think I have that many places in central positions. (I only have 1 extra MESH Node). Also Point C is currently only achieving 100Mbps despite being a belden CAT6 cable (trouble shooting needed).

Other than that I have some potential points marked out, A,B,C for wireless backhaul.



Appreciate input.

Is the router Huawei HG8145X6 provided by Time MU-MIMO? It has only two antennas on it

Hi guys, I need some reccomendations for my TIME package.
I first subscribed in 2016, and contract ended in 2018, and been paying till today for 500mbps package.

So the modem is the original Huawei from 2016.
Router I have upgraded in 2020 but not the wifi 6 version.
My PC is using PCIE Asus A3000x wifi 6.

Seems like a no brainer for me to renew the 24-month contract.
I'll get RM10off monthly and free wifi 6 modem + 1 wifi 5 mesh.

Any thoughts?

Just installed Time today and the device given is Huawei HG8145V5. Wanted to use my Huawei AX3 as router so i called to CS and told them i would like to enable bridge mode in my device. The CS told me this is latest device and she is not familiar with the setting and ask me checked with the installer. Is it because i told them wrongly?

Normally they will do the bridge mode setting remotely or enable it from their side?

Hi there,

Just got my TIME broadband installed today and was provided with the Huawei HG8145V5 unit.. Previously I was a Unifi subscriber and I was able to plug my Asus router directly to my BTU.

However I notice now that the Huawei is 2-in-1 (BTU cum router). I would like to continue using back my Asus as the main router, any idea what's the best way to do it?

I can think of either setting my Asus in Access point mode, or disabling the router function in the Huawei unit (but im unsure how to do it).

Appreciate advise here...

Thanks!

Hi guys im currently using Unifi, want to upgrade to TIME 500mbps, now using m9 plus, planning to keep my router, do i have to reset the router ? Do i need to do anything else?

Yeah, I’ve been offered this..




Why does it say it’s Wi-Fi 5?
WiFi5 refers to the Mesh Node WA8021V5, the WiFi Router given is HG8145X6.

hi all, would like to get advice.
Is there any past experience on using Archer C1200 vs Mesh6 in term of wifi coverage/penetration in condo unit? I'm currently using Archer C1200 and sometimes get a bit of delay/out of coverage in bedroom. Thinking whether worth the upgrade with using Mes6 ONT alone without additional node.
Thanks.

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback and advise.

May I check, which setup would be better? Bridge mode or AP mode?
Hi, depending on your Asus Router model, if it's in the most recent 1-2 years models, then your own router most likely will have better routing performance, hence go for Bridge mode on the HG8145V5 ONT.

Thanks!

Bro want to ask for HG8145X6 is it 8+8 Mac filtering already max ? Coz i'm setting my white list and it said i got maxed for my 5ghz SSID. Can I add additional 5ghz SSID to get extra mac filtering ?
I guess you mean by WiFi Mac Filtering, yes you can always add additional SSID, but unless you have additional NICs, else you still max out the 8 limitation when connected to a single SSID at one time.

Beside to update i got dead spot on my MB corner as in Yellow, if I bridge to two TP-Archer AX73/ Xiaomi Mesh AX3000 mesh would it be better (2 mesh node the 1 next to HGX6 as primary (in orange circle)) ?
Go for Xiaomi AX3000 Mesh.

and AX73 / AX3000 which is better?

why ax3 pro cannot have own ssid under repeater mode? so for the repeater mode, ax3 pro acts as a mesh node like that?

cannot understand, cause i have tp link wifi repeater, i can set another ssid for devices to connect it.

but for ax3 pro, how we know whether our devices connected direct to modem or connected to ax3 pro? cause the ssid same name only...

hi guys

i just moved in to a new condo with time fibre ready, so i subscribed and got huawei HG8145X6

previously im using maxis fibre and used TP-Link AX-50, so once i moved, this router is not in use anymore

should i replace Time's HG8145X6 with my TP-Link AX-50 router? since both have same tech feature, not sure which one much powerful

Say guys, if the condo I'm about to move in still doesn't have TIME fibre or another ISPs, how should one proceed as the management office claims that no "offers" were made by TIME to deploy their services there.

Although surrounding condos are all provided by TIME Fibre.

Is there anyone here that expedite the process?

hey guys, so my TM contract ends in about 2-3 months. Just called TIME and said there's a port available.

forgot to ask them these two things. TIME, do they give you public IP and can you port forward port 80? before you start bashing me about port 80 security i have my reasons.

i subscribed 500mpbs for my TIME broadband, currently dont have WIFI 6 device but Im going to have a lot of smart home devices. If i solely use the router of xiaomi ax3600, will it sufficient? or i still need router xiaomi ax3600 and xiaomi ax3000 as mesh node?

Plan to take the 100 mbps pkg but convince by agent to take the 500 mbps due to Mesh wifi.

Only 2 person using in my house so is it worth i to pay more and what is Mesh ?

Thanks

I've just recontracted with TIME for the new 500 MBps plan and also gotten the offer for HG8145X6 and 1 mesh node

Currently am using the old TP Link C1200 router in the condo and also modem in the fuse box outside the main door area, I'm wondering when then technician comes to setup the new HG8145X6, do they just replace the C1200 in the living room or do they change the modem outside as well?
Replace the Archer C1200.

and also is the wifi coverage of the HG8145X6 much better than the old C1200?
Slightly better.

this is my condo's layout and where the router is, can you guys suggest where should I put the mesh node for max coverage?

Thanks Bro, for Mi AX3000 to pair with HG8145X6 it just plug and play right ?

Do I need to do additional setting?

I see, but i still blur abit bro. Pair using WPS mean it is extender mode already it is not my intention to do it. So to setup mesh environment i think there will be 2 way i can do it right ?

1. Hook up LAN to AX3000 and set AX3000 to AP mode then Mesh to another AX3000 that in masterbed room. But this 1 i will be using HG8145X6 for internet control e.g. white list Mac filtering all here.

2. HG8145X6 as bridge mode push over to AX3000 as gateway, then using MiWIfi interface for all network control.

I want to know setup AX3000 as AP or HG8145X6 as Bridge Mode, which coverage and network will be better/more stable?
