Hi!
Quick question for the owners of the Huawei HG8145X6:
Besides 2.4G and 5G WiFi networks, is there also a GUEST network we can use?

also, is there a pdf or online manual for me to check the interface, menus, etc...?
thanks.

thanks for the reply.
Bummer! So it's gonna be more difficult for me to set up a separate/private network with this TIME ONT, will have to attach a 2nd router to it I guess.

I guess something like a fibre optic & phone node cabinet to distribute broadband internet to the neighborhood.
You may want to look at "what-is-full-fibre". Sorry I can't attach links

Hi,

My 500Mbps fibre link provides speedtest up/down results of 500+ to TIME's Shah Alam and Singtel SG servers and with other servers like in California I get 370Mbps.
When I ping IPs in California, ping is very good ~12-14ms.
All this is very good!

But when I browse the web, it is a bit sluggish at times, with all types of devices (laptop, phones, LAN connected desktop) and this is not good! Sometimes it's almost like being in China honestly, with ISP/net control!

What is your feedback about web surfing and pages loading with TIME Fibre?

FYI I've made a few tracert and I realized that (I don't know whether it's important) the 3rd hop is always timeout until it moves on to the next hop (this happens in TT Dotcom Sdn Bhd Shah Alam according to the resolution of these IP addresses), for both sites in Malaysia and overseas.

Notes: I'm located in KL. I have the Standard config of the TIME Huawei router, no additional network devices/software to slow it down. I've tried using google and cloudflare DNS in the router and it's the same surfing speed.

Thanks for your reply and explanations. Yes, mostly happening on WiFi, less on LAN. I'll try using a good Linksys router I have and see whether this improves.

So from your end with another router your pages loading while surfing the web is good, right?

Same here, still down

Back for a short while with high ping and less than 1Mbps speed.
Hopefully it's fully resolved soon.

Check your speed, you'll be scared 😨

Unfortunately there's no such option in this config.
We can achieve this though if you'd decide to use an Open source firmware instead of the Time/Huawei's one.

The other alternative for you is to use a second router to create a separated Guest network (plenty of YouTube tutorials available)

I do prefer a standalone modem and the liberty of choosing my own router. For instance Time imposes that model to you where there's no guest network and they have even changed the config/UI compared to standard Huawei. And based on my usage it slows down web browsing (ref one of my previous post).
Anyway it's still good to get as it's free 🐱

*edit: it is due to Time's outage and not the router*

*******No longer relevant****

Did my Huawei modem/router just die?



I have a 500mbps connection since a few month with that recent Huawei modem/router and suddenly no more WiFi. I tried accessing http://192.168.100.1/ but no access. I looked at the router and there were still some blinking lights like when it works well. I decided to press the button to switch it off and back on, then I only have the power light that turns green for 25 seconds then the green light goes away like it's off. It tried switching off the main power, waited some time, and same behavior when I turn it on.

Anything else I could do?
Or do I need to contact TIME? If so, what number to call?

Thanks, I rely on fibre to work :-(
Good day to you!

Hi! Has anyone experienced connection issue via WiFi from a device to Time's Huawei HG8145X6 router with a sudden "Incorrect Password"?

I reboot it once a week, up to now no issues. And it's not DHCP issue as I tried with setting a device with static IP and there was still the problem reoccurring the next day.
I need to wait several minutes for the connection to resume properly.

Hello 🤠
For those who haven't changed the Huawei fibre router settings, could you please give me the default local DNS (primary and secondary) input by TIME? Tq

Not to use, only for some tests.

Hi! Is it possible to completely disable IPv6 in the Huawei router?
I've unchecked the "Enable DHCPv6 Server" in Advanced/LAN/DHCPv6 Server but in my devices connected to the router via WiFi I see the IPv6 counterpart of Google primary and secondary DNS although I've set Google DNS addresses in DHCP server IPv4 format.

My 202.185.208.xx after midnight to Singtel server on Speed test gave Idle ping 11ms, 0.0% packets loss, UL535Mbps 320ms and DL390M 126ms. Yes I still have big lag and issues accessing EU content.

This submarine cable problem is still causing a massive routing issue. Tonight so many EU sites are unusable. How can't TIME use a different route to provide a relief?

I did (need to soft reset the Huawei router) and unfortunately I always get IP addresses from 202.185.... and once a 192.228... that all have the same bad routing at night. 😭
However with the same IP in the morning everything is good and fast, which just highlights that the narrow band allocated is super congested at night.

Can access it, no problem. Using Google DNS.

This morning my 600Mbps fibre is providing only DL 60-80Mbps in south KL area! Speedtest app to TIME server: Ping is 7ms and the DL ping is at 470ms!! Am I the only one?
