Do you know how fast TIME handle relocation case?

Hi, how do I swap out this HG8145X6 at another house that is also using Time broadband but with an older router that I want to replace with this one ?

Parking for this as well. My old router is better.

confused by the wording

but if you are saying you dont want to use the provided huawei router, you can contact time cs and ask to change it into bridge mode and you can connect up your own router

In my case I want to replace an older modem with this model.. for a different Time broadband subscription elsewhere.

Does anyone here having issue with International connection with Time especially to US and EU?

FTP connection to Europe quite slow this morning.

So it wasn't just me, had to VPN just to fetch some files from those region.
It's been very slow since last week.

Same here. Experiencing slow connections to UpCloud and OVH servers since late January. Seems to get a lot worse lately.

Already did my investigation and confirmed the issue is with Singtel. Had to reroute affected traffic via my parent's TM UniFi connection for the past month. Already reported this to TIME. No update yet.

MTR from UpCloud Chicago, US to TIME VS TM for comparison:

Hi, you need to turn teh X6 into AP mode by pressing the WPS button for 15s until you see all the lights are lit up.
Following is to place the X6 close to the ONT (within 2m), press the WPS button on the ONT until the WPS light starts blinking, when the WPS lights on the ONT is off, it means it's successfully paired.

Btw, how come the Installer did not set it up for you ?

Thanks.

You can configure it as an AP but not as an ONT.

Afterall, it's still the best to get some other models outside that for sure outperforms this one.

Yep looks like every Time subscriber MUST always use their given Huawei device as the modem , and we can only add routers and meshes to it.

No option to combine a modem router that is a higher spec model (and also save electricity),

and,

No option to give the Huawei modem to someone else who may still be on an older device and could benefit from this small 'upgrade'.

Sadly this is not the days of ADSL modem router.

That's because FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) is not standardized so vendors wouldn't make third party fiber router that only works for TIME. The market is just too small.

FTTH implementation differs from telco to telco as well.

Not affirmative...but it will not be discussion here & we are not allowed to discuss it.

Thanks.

Thank you. I'll try it when I get back.

I wasn't at home when the installer came and with just the ONT, it was sufficient. So he just left the X6 and left. But after using it, the reception at one of the rooms is a bit weak so I wanted to set up a node but found that there is only an extra X6.

For relocation, it takes 7--14 days normally.

Hey guys & sifus, would like to get some advice on which Time package to go with (100 Mbps Wifi 5 vs 500 Mbps Wifi 6).

Currently, I am in a household of 4 users on the 100 Mbps plan and never had any issues in terms of speed.

I will soon be moving into an 850 Sqft condo, just me & my wife (2 users).

The router can be placed pretty centrally, so I doubt speed & range will ever be an issue for us (pretty standard usage: for work, watch YouTube/Netflix, casual gaming, & some IoTs connected).

My question is, will Wifi 5 or Wifi 6 matter/make any difference for our usage? Or would it be worthwhile to future-proof with the 500 Mbps Wifi 6 plan?

I personally think that speed is unnecessarily much for us (given that 100 Mbps worked fine when it was 4 users), but just unsure about the Wifi 5 vs Wifi 6 relevancy. Any help would be appreciated!

100Mbps is more than enough for casual browsing and streaming

Use the savings to buy a good router, the free Wi-Fi 6 router isn't any good either

Thanks for the suggestion, router seems to always be the bottleneck with these packages...

From my actual usage experience, the Huawei HG8145V5 ONT is good enough for 100Mbps service as my phone can achieved slightly more than 100Mbps DL and UL at 3 meters. So, what is the problem?
