Wifi coverage about same. They are using same frequencies.

Speed wise may be different. However, subject to whether you are using wifi6 client devices when connecting to wifi6.

hello, not sure is this the correct place to ask this question.
Im current a 100mbps user with my own tplink ax20 with separate SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz

im planning to upgrade to 1gbps plan and will receive Huawei HG8145X6 + 1 wifi mesh. My question is im not sure how mesh router works, can i still have separate SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz for the huawei and wifi mesh?
i was too lazy to reconfigure every smart devices in my house and just plan to use back the same SSID and password for smooth transition.

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback and advise.

May I check, which setup would be better? Bridge mode or AP mode?

Thanks!

For wifi, no problem to have separate SSID.
You can always configure it with the same WiFi settings that you are currently using.
On the mesh node, you just click on the power button and wps button on HG8145x6 to let it link.
Once linked, the settings will follow.

thanks for answering! new to mesh.. ask a few of my friends that using mesh... all of them having only 1 SSID which make me doubt.. then i proceed with my upgrade thanks!

How do i get a free replacement for a Wi-Fi 6 router without terminating my subscription?

An agent told me to cancel my current subscription & then re-register under another name to get the router which is crap to me.

Have you tried goto https://selfcare.time.com.my/ or Time Internet App

You should able to find the offer inside for free wifi 6 router if it is offered to you to renew your contract.
If you are still on the contract, I GUESS they are offering it to selective group. Try look inside selfcare.time.com.my first.

Yeah, I’ve been offered this..




Why does it say it’s Wi-Fi 5?

Because it is Huawei HG8145V5， not X6. X6 onlygot wifi-6 only certain customer renew they will give X6.

100 Mbps plan get wifi 5.
500 and 1gbps plan get wifi 6.
You are using which plan?

500

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 ?

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)) ?

and AX73 / AX3000 which is better?

No idea then.
I'm using 500 mbps plan and I got the free HG8145x6 + WA9021v5.

I think better call CS to ask.... the Wifi5 is they give

a. 1x HG8145X6 (wifi6 router with mesh enable)+ 1X WA8021v5 (wifi 5 mesh node) or
b. 1x HG8145v5 (wifi5 router with mesh enable ) + 1x WA8021v5 (wifi5 mesh node) or
c. 1x WA8021v5 (wifi 5 mesh node only)

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.

C1200?


Time to change. Best to get own router as the Mesh ONT might be less or more the same as existing.

Hi guys,

Would like to check if there is any Asus router that works for both Unifi and Time Fibre? (support up to 1gig or more). Thanks.

Btw, would Time offers more than 1gig package in the forseeable future? Thanks.

Look for model with 2.5Gbps port.

Thanks man.
