I have requested termination for the 5th time now. The button still grey.

Anyone have experience connecting Asus router? I have pppoe on hand, but unsure about the settings needed to do
Any pointers?

Can someone confirm if HG8145V5 is ONU or ONT? Do I need to reach out CS change to the bridge mode before I plug in my new bought ASUS router?

Hi all, I am on 600mbps plan , my TIME router is Huawei OptiXstar HG8145X6-10.

Is there anyway to disable smart wifi, or separate 2.4G and 5G. Cause my connection speed very bad , like dl speed only 50-60mbps and upload speed below 5mbps or sometimes even 0 on my iPhone 15PM even next to the router.
Thanks all

Hey folks, I got the new Wifi 7 router fro TIME. I really can't explain it but I have had bad headaches and discomfort from using this. Was never the case with previous routers. Sound familiar? Should I just get a normal Asus router?

Anyone is having issue with CN websites or CN app slowniness & sometimes not even response?

Using Mi Home app CN region & most of the times cannot get it connected.

FTTR is good. 

is it normal that all dual key units also will have the two time fibre points?
It's mandatory if there are 2 addresses registered at local council.
Anyway, some dual key units which only has one address will have individual fibre point & some will be shared with only 1, it depends on design.

to be fair, it is a good design that if one own a dual key units, can rent out to two separate tenants and each of them can apply their own fibre internet. 

but owner ownself stay in the unit it will not be good becos need to sign up two fibre internet? unless use mesh etc. to cover across two units?

for if subscribe to FTTR for time, whether they will allow to FTTR the two units under one time fibre internet account is a question mark i guess?

it is impossible for a dual key unit to have 2 registered addresses at local council.
Not entirely true, as dual key units will have indication during developer's submission for address issuance.
dual key is just the design and layout, and ppl buy dual key becos they pay the price for one unit for technically own two units layout so that they can rent out two units separately or one unit for own stay and one to rent out.
it is certainly one SNP only when the owner bought it.

FTTR is good, i dun see a prob with it. and the installer will lay the cables according to the layout which unlikely they will be so easily damaged and cause prob.
and the fibre cable they use is thin and not so apparent to be notice which is good for aesthetic. fibre is certainly a better medium than UTP cables.
This is not a comparison between UTP & Fibre, this is about the fargility of such optical fiber medium used by FTTR.
We have done FTTR with our China counterparts before local ISPs rolled out this solution, trust me it is still not the promising way to do it at least without some modifications.

yes, it limits the devices one can use but if one has no network ports (concealed) one ready and dun want to hack the walls etc. by paying rm1k++ upfront it is still reasonable cost to spend.
wifi mesh especially wifi 7 is certainly not cheap and can easily cost the same if factor in the cost to build the concealed network ports etc...
Usually we will work out with consultants & developers at the design & planning stage before the constructions kick start to come out with solutions for wifi signal, smart home etc. with future proof concern...

dun think so, i never heard of any dual key with two addresses one.
it is just a pure design.
Not 2 address, it is indication in the submission for approval.
even the 2 bedrooms and 3 bedrooms dual key units i visited, by default they are just normal 2 bedrooms and 3 bedrooms unit, and if owner can add a wall or hack a wall in the unit to make it dual keys.

i believe the bro here with dual key unit can confirm.

they use run thru the edge and almost invisible and no need to drill or hack walls at all.

the cables are certainly not that obvious.. i dun think it is going to be any eyesores to the aesthetics of the house as they are transparent micro fibre cables.

i find the cost reasonable to enjoy the maximum benefits from fibre comparing to buying wifi 7 mesh which is expensive too and not to mention need to hack walls, install ethernet points etc...

Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Solution

Mid-range Wi-Fi 7 Mesh (e.g., ASUS ZenWiFi XT9): RM2,800–RM3,500.
High-end Wi-Fi 7 Mesh (e.g., ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98): RM5,000+.

Ethernet Points + Wi-Fi 7 Mesh: RM5,200–RM9,500 (greater upfront cost, higher customization).

Verdict: FTTR is significantly cheaper and less invasive. Ethernet + Wi-Fi 7 mesh is ideal only if you need maximum performance or have advanced networking needs.

Transparent microfibre cables are ultra-thin, lightweight cables made of microfibre materials with a transparent or translucent appearance. They are typically designed for specialized applications where aesthetics, flexibility, or unobtrusiveness are critical.

Dont recommend this to owners with cat.

Or maybe do recommend to them, you will have endless maintenance job.

Hi All Sifus,

i renewed my contract with TIME almost 2 years ago, next contract expiry is on mid of April 2025 (ngam ngam 3 months from today).
Would like to ask, when will i able to see the offer for contract renewal? still didnt see such things after login to self care.

previous renewal i got 2 unit of Huawei HG8145X6, which currently use 1 of it as my router after my TP-Link AX73 start to become not stable on the internet.
the TP-Link AX73 was bought on mid 2021 with 3 years warranty, so after warranty expired it start to have problem on Q3 2024
they memang count till ngam ngam on the lifespan?

current Huawei HG8145X6, i found that the performance is not that good, sometimes internet (WiFi) is a bit slow when in the room. never have this problem when using TP-Link AX73 previously.
Should i head for the WIFI7 router from TIME? (if they offer me the router for contract renewal)
Go for your own Router.
or should i just get another router from other brand? saw this TP-Link BE230 WiFi 7 BE3600 while exploring.
add on: i have quite a number of gadget and IOT connecting to the WiFi

need advice on the above.
thanks again.

Any recommended router from you?

own house cheapest tplink Wi-Fi 6 signal can reach 2nd floor but huawei wifi 7 from TIME router at 1000sq condo living room can’t even reach master bedroom n toilet

Dafuq

speaking of that, can the Huawei HG8145B7N be connected to mesh? i don't think there's any Mesh option or setting in the router advanced page.
It can be used as Mesh.

assuming it can use Huawei own mesh, i would assume it cannot be compatible to other brands mesh products? Yes not compatible.
ok, i am considering my own 6ghz Router now, sigh lol.

well, i'm not actually sure if i am in a medium to high density condo, most tenants not moved in yet and SSID isn't crowded... yet.
but the walls /concrete seems thick and HG8145B7N signals couldn't reach master bedroom (1 end) from the living room (the other end, where the route is placed)

same goes for toilets, should you want to use your phone during business

Anyone facing this issue today? Suddenly no internet and PPPoE showing IP address 0.0.0.0

Guys, where do I access EasyMesh configuration or options in the time router?
[attachmentid=11509434] [attachmentid=11509435]

Thanks bro
Welcome Bro
By model I'm assuming you meant same brand? Yes
What if I go for another brand like say, TP-Link that supports WiFi 7 EasyMesh?
Nope procedure is different, It will be acting as wifi repeater, it will not be "full mesh".
Same method and theoretically they'll just work as you described?

Hi guys,

I am currently using TIME Internet 600Mbps with a WiFi 6 router. However, I recently got my hands on a TIME WiFi 7 router.

I tried replacing my current router with the WiFi 7 router, but it doesn’t work. Is there anything else I need to configure? During setup, there was no option to enter a PPPoE username or password, only the SSID and WiFi password.

The WiFi 7 router I’m using is Huawei OptiXstar HG8145B7N.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello. Just realised that after configuring sometime. Thanks a lot for the reply. If I were to contact CS, would they be able to help?

If you’re not allowed to to publish DIY guideline, do you mind to PM?

Thank you… Appreciate it
