Hi, do send me your unit's layout plan & size... then we will be able to tell you which one to go for.

Thanks.

Hi

I've been using TIME for a few months now, and the 2 in 1 modem is pretty horrible. Slightly over 1000sft with 2 TP Link M4 and my master bedroom only gets 20Mbps (out of 500) with frequent disconnections.

I've heard about asking CS to switch to bridge mode, but can anyone roughly explain how it'd work once I've gotten a new router? Do I just call them and install my new router myself, or do I have to set an appointment with an installation person?

After the CS set into bridge mode.
You can setup the router with PPPOE.
Make sure that you have the PPPOE details ready before you set up.

So I don't need an installation person over?

Also, based on experience would this help much? My condo seems like it'd be small enough for any router that doesn't suck, but I don't know if its the router's fault or that the walls are full of lead or something.

Yeah changing to better router does help in my case. I live in a condo too, about 2000 square feet and the default router can’t cover the entire unit as well.

You don't need. They can switch to bridge remotely. If you ask them to setup the router for you then they will charge you a small fee to setup.

Hi, after you have switched to Bridge Mode, you may use your existing M4 to dial the PPPOE.

Thanks.

Hi,

After its switched to bridge mode, do we need to change any settings at the Huawei HG8145V5?
Example - remains the PPPOE details without removing it ?

Thankyou

Hi, after you changed to bridge mode, you will need to configure PPPOE credentials on your own router.
You can leave the existing settings in the Huawei ONT.

Thanks.

Thankyou

Welcome

Hello all,

I am a new Time User with 0 background in network set up.
I have been provided Huawei Echo Life HG8145V5.

Question- How can I change the DNS?
If i purchase a new router and request "bridge" mode will I be able to change the DNS?

I have read back quite a few pages on this forum, however, I am still not able to understand.

Hope someone can help! thanks in advance

Case Closed!- Am happy to announce I was able to Change the DNS by contacting the online chat.
I got a call back and they asked my preferred DNS and alternate DNS.
And just like that it is done!

Hi thanks for the help, didn't know the M4 could work as a router as well.

Unfortunately, my speeds are still unstable around the house. Is the M4 really that bad? Should I get a dedicated router instead?

Hi, please send me your unit layout indicating the location you position your M4.

Thanks.

tempting to take the RM109 @ 300MBPS package (just downgraded from RM189 @ 1GBPS to RM99 @ 100MBPS package earlier this month without contract )
