HG8240H5 huawei Modem from Time seems giving weak signal. Any idea if it happened to you guys.

So I don't sub to TIME but my expat boss does. He already terminated his contract after 6 years and wondering how to get back the equipment deposit of RM500? I don't really see much details on how to do this. Much thanks for any info.

Do you mean WiFi signal ? If so, HG8240H5 does not broadcast wifi signal.
Please kindly confirm the model of the Huawei ONT.

Thanks.

Hi, For Full Mesh, go for Xiaomi Tower AX3000 (Twin Pack)....turn your ONT into Bridge Mode....

Thanks.

EchoLife WA8021V5 Mesh router.

Hi, either get the 2nd one to mesh with the 1st unit or totally purchase a new mesh system on your own, depending on your house unit size.

Thanks.

Actually my unit got 3 dead zone (bedroom). So need get a set of 2 3rd party mesh router. Or I just replace the mesh with 3rd party WiFi-6 router?

Hi, go for WiFi6 Mesh System.

Can recommend any good brand that’s compatible with the Huawei modem?

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.

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
c. only take like 15 minutes to change right?
d. i see the ax3 booklet said go 192.168.3.1 for setting?
e. then key in the pppoe details which can be found in time selfcare? xxx@timebb & password?
f. then done right?

any extra steps that i missed out?

please help to see see, thank you much!

My bedroom 2.4G speed seems decent under 100mb package.

Hi, go for budgetary brands like Huawei/Xiaomi/TP-Link , or higher-end, Asus.
Do note that by turning your Huawei ONT into bridge mode, you are free to use most of the mesh brands in the market.

Thanks.

Try move your main router a bit up...

Thanks for the tip. Too bad I can’t do it easily…lan cable will be exposed and my wife will say not beautiful…ya I know clear line of sight will be superb for the 5GHz backhaul.

thanks bro!

Ok. Will get back to u after research on the Mesh WiFi-6.

1000BaseT requires all 4 pairs.
Sounds like not all 4 pairs are properly terminated.
