i am glad that i spent less than rm1k for my wifi 5 mesh and i am happy with the speed. no need to upgrade to wifi 6 or 7. a good wifi 6 and 7 mesh systems are ex...

i can disable both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi on the huawei ONT. no issue at all.

yes, standalone ONU is still better... lion city is having this kind of setup.

yes, correct. i just did it yesterday only. called the CS, 15 minutes technication called to change to bridge and do the dialing of PPPoE on my wifi router, settled.

now i enjoy low latency internet connection with full speed in my room.

for anyone who still use the stock huawei ONT + mesh node (dual-band), please throw them away for god sake..

tri-band mesh ftw...

remotely change it...

less than 10 minutes process...

1. cannot. the ONT is technically useless to connect anything after switched to bridge mode.

2. i love my linksys MR8300 wifi 5 mesh. low latency and good for gaming.

yeah... very fast. indeed.

i am glad that i had switched it becos i was not satisfied with the time broadband previously using the trash stock huawei mesh.

i see. nice. that's the best system already.

ur velop is dual-band or tri-band?

urs is how many speed plan? 1Gbps? so all ur desktop/laptop device can get full speed with low latency? they really lay fibre cable to link from the parent node to all ur chid nodes inside your room? but are those chid nodes tri-band?

which package did u go for? seriously latest networking wifi mesh system (wifi 6/7) good one with tri-band is not cheap also. i am glad that i got my linksys mr8300 wifi - 3 units at quite cheap price. one at sgd150++ with 1 x velop dual-band node free, the rest of 2 x mr8300 i got them at about sgd50 each second hand from carousell. at least they can meet my need for speed and coverage which i am happy.



even time the trash hxxwei mesh node is selling at so expensive price.

besides, most of u guys here subscribe to which plan for time broadband?

icic. yeah. i also think that it is the plan with the highest CP value, it is rm40 more but one get 5x speed.

with the current promo (6 months rm99, subsequent rm139) comparing to 100mbps plan at rm99. both have 1 month free.
the average monthly fee is about rm129 for 24 months which is rm30 extra comparing to rm99 100 mbps plan for 5x speed which is not bad also.

yes, tri-band is very very crucial for wireless backhaul. it is a day and night difference for the speed and latency comparing to dual-band.

yes FTTR is using fibre-optic to connect between nodes (wired backhaul), meaning all should get full speed so even dual-band may not be bad via wifi.

ur lantecy is so good. power. meaning this mesh system not bad. expensive? it is wifi 6 with 4 streams no wonder so good. is ur main node and child node far apart or nearby?

i notice that from my trial and error, if the parent node is too near to the child node, the child node gets actually lower speed and higher latency comparing to be further away or with a wall in between. within light of sight it is even performing poorer. funny. my child node signal strength with parent node is -60 dBM and i am getting quite good speed and latency comparing to -40 dBM.

wah.. good deal. nice to stay in lower plan so that they offer better carrot. too bad i had signed 500Mbps at the start.

how much are u paying now for ur current plan before this offer?

icic. so they really lay fibre-optic cables from ur main node to all ur child nodes? like this isn't that the fibre optics will be exposed and visible within the entire house?

Icic. Ok. the cable they use is black colour one or between the nodes they use the yellow colour fibre-optic cable?

This is the average speed I can get from my child node in my study room (wireless backhaul).

It is not too bad. I can get about the same latency as ur wifi 6 one although my speed is lower (think Becos wifi 6 have wider channel?) but my main concern is latency since I am not going to download on my iPhone.

Given that my linksys mr8300 only cost as low as sgd50 per unit, I find it at high CP value too. 🤪

Icic…

nice.

with only rm20 more to get 5x speed while normally rm40.

for me i paid extra rm10 for 2 years and subsequently rm20 after no contract.

2nd month bill.

good deal.

i just wonder if 2 years later after my contract is over. if i cancel the line and resign another 2 years contracts will it be better?
any cool down period between cancelling and signning a new line again?

or possible to negotiate with time for better deal after 2 years contract?

anyone with no contract for 500Mbps plan get offer from time to recontract?

indeed if low usage u mobile using time infra is cheaper. but i dun like u mobile one becos it has the same termination scheme like tm or others. which u pay full of the remaining tenure of contract no matter when u terminate. while time is anytime termination rm500 only.

for example if i used finished tm the rm99 month for 500Mbps for 6 months and 1 month free for first month and cancel by paying rm500 also not lugi alot...

i am renting unit so this flexibility to me is important.

i had been using time for 1 month+. so far so good.

did u even encounter this prob when u are next to the main node? if no but only at the child node then likely the position of where u place the child node that caused the prob.

ic. then it is unlucky for this case. no choice but to wait for time to fix this then.

my apartment has only time broadband and no unifi. funny thing is that the sister apartment next to mine by the same developer has both. (that one is older apartment than mine though)

luckily the only choice for me which is time gives me no prob. i can get quite good speed with my own mesh system (not huawei one given by time). so overall is happy with this. previously i was paying rm129 before tax for 500Mbps speed on my unifi. but upload speed is only 100Mbps comparing to the symmetric speed by time.

What it means by regulated domain? U mean the wifi region?
