QUOTE(Franko @ Jul 29 2022, 01:57 PM) Can anybody help to advise? I’m on the 500Mbps plan and was given the HG8145V5 router. Weird thing is, I can get full speed wirelessly if seated near the router, but when I use a CAT6 cable (10m long) and connect it to my PC, speed is barely 100Mbps. PC mobo is latest Asus B550 with 2.5G Ethernet port, all latest driver updated. If I bring my PC next to the router and connect wirelessly, I am able to enjoy full speed. FYI, my PC wireless hardware is AX200. It doesn’t make sense that a wireless connection is 5x faster than Ethernet. Why? Check the cable connection. Use another cable to test with lap tops as you may not have another long cable. Check the "Ethernet Status" for a 1Gbps connection as it may be a 100Mbps connection. Also on Elevated Command Prompt (Administrator), type in the following commands: ipconfig /release ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /renew REBOOT Computer. Good Luck! |

Still shows my Link Speed for the Cat6 at 100Mbps. Tried swapping it with a shorter Cat5e and Link Speed increased to 1Gbps. Throughout both tests, I switched off wireless on my PC so that the connection is purely wired. Does this mean that my Cat6 cable is fake? Lol didn’t know such thing could exist, it’s just Ethernet cable ffs |

They are fine on short distance, but once it exceeded 5m, get their CAT8. At least their CAT8 is slightly better. One more thing, avoid those flat cable. Those are literally con. |

Usually go for brands like R&M, Panduit, Compscope, TE, Schneider etc...you cant be wrong... |

QUOTE(Yamcha265 @ Jul 28 2022, 06:37 PM) Hi guys, i am subscribed to TIME and planning to relocate to a new unit but same building. But the relocation fee (rm120) is a bit too high for poor student. Since the new unit has fibre cable already. Can I use that for my modem instead? Will it work or not? If it doesn't work, is it something because of OLT port thing on the TIME side so I still have to contact them? Yes, you need to login into your selfcare portal (selfcare.time.com.my) , click Manage Plan > Relocation Services , fill in your new address & click Submit. Thanks. |

QUOTE(Macnair @ Mar 15 2022, 09:13 AM) Hi jjj2, Thanks for the reply! Time scheduled a tech for me today to check the router. The tech also told me how to access the WAN settings so all good for now. ------------- Anyone who to likes to tinker things in the router might have a hard time with the Huawei Wifi6 router since the default login is very limited. Hi, the technician came and setup the mesh but left the HG8145X6. When I connect that to my existing BNU, nothing happens. Am I missing something? |

Hi all,
I plan to upgrade from 100mb to 500mb.
I saw the plan offer Wifi 6 mesh + Wifi 5 nodes.
Currently, I already using TPLink Deco M9 Plusm which with AC2200
5 GHz: 867 Mbps (802.11ac) - wireless backhaul
5 GHz: 867 Mbps (802.11ac)
2.4 GHz: 400 Mbps (802.11n)
I like to ask, what is the spec/model for Time offer free mesh + router? I though Node shall using same as Master, why its mention Wifi 5 node?
If its a downgrade, then I would just keep my current mesh instead

Hi, please show me the connection drawings....if your X6 is in ONT mode, when you connect to it, for sure there will be Internet connection. Thanks. |

I don't think that's possible on this model as per testing last time.. I end up disabling the WiFi feature altogether using the Self Care portal and route the LAN to another router instead 😑 |

If you have Mesh Node (Huawei WA8021V5), connected to it, off it. |

The charges you're seeing in your very first bill may be pro-rated charges leading up to your first full month or other charges such as voice calls, add-ons etc. |
