I think the default is they try to make you pay more. It's a given.

Hi, i am upgrading my TIME to 500Mbps soon. I am existing old customers, so got offer.

Anyway, i will be getting the new Huawei Router. Is it any good? How is the latency? I am currently using old TPLINK router (5GHz AC) and so far so good. Test speedtest from my room with WIFI get 3-4ms latency usually.

Appreciate any feedback, else i would need to get a new Wifi 6 router.

OMG. Should have opt for free 1 month instead of the router?? ☹️

Actually, I just need one router. But I saw my upgrade got include one free mesh node? As long as the main router boleh tahan then I am ok.

Another question, since I never have Wifi 6 router before. All my devices are Wifi AC 5Ghz (except maybe my Nintendo Switch which has a lot of problem with Wifi AC and will only can connect with 20Mhz or 40Mhz channel). So Wifi 6 is still 5Ghz right? So do I set AC/AX mixed like that or set separate wifi SSID for AC and AX?

You can use different brand wifi mesh? This can be set in the router yourself or need TIME to do something at their backend? Perhaps i just request them not to setup any nodes at all since i don't need them? Currently my rooms can get full 100Mbps just by using 5Ghz AC with my old TPLINK router AC1200.

Oh crap! Should i just ask them to switch to bridge mode and use back my existing AC router? Then later i go buy my own wifi 6 router? Any recommendations for Wifi 6 router?

Hmm...i have just check with their LIVE chat support. Seems like no need to do anything on their end. For the record, last time i use my own WIFI router also didn't call them if i remember correctly. Just swap out with my own TP Link router.

I have just renewed. Will use long term, now thinking if i can switch to the get 1st month free instead of the MESH router instead...

No idea. Only install tomorrow. Got what models being given out now?

Ok, i think just go ahead with it. Initially thinking to contact them see if can change promo. But never mind lah, treat it as RM119 router. If tested to be lousy, then i go shopping for new router. So i should ask them configure one as modem and one as router right? Then next time i can change new router easily.

btw, i am new to all these mesh network thing. Based on my readings here, does it means if i set 1 unit as modem/router, this unit can sync/link to a second unit which i put somewhere else to improve the wifi coverage? Does it means that both units are actually same and just need to be configured accordingly?

Honestly, i think rm99 is cheap liao and fair. Unifi got what Rahmah package RM 89 i think?but really for RM10...want to use Unifi? Maybe a few more years they can upgrade RM99 to 200-300Mbps.

Yeah, really old, dust also so thick. Just now only i wipe. Later technician come see the dust, all lari...

But so it's been reliable. I left it on 24/7. Only restart like 2 time per year when got problem. I guess maybe even the not so good Huawei Wifi 6 is also better than this ancient workhorse? Lets try and see first. Thanks for all your replies btw.

TIME has upgraded the back end line. Now running on my existing equiopment.

My Room PC - WIFI AC - 24xMbps
My Phone (from my room) - Wifi AC - 24xMbps
Another Room (closer to router) - WIFI AC - 300Mbps
Wired PC - 500Mbps

Later after TIME upgraded the equipment, i will test again and feedback here.

Update:

I have a question. If i still setup a 2.4Ghz for old equipment, will it interfere with the 5Ghz Wifi band? I think i have found occasion where something funny happens, phone connected to 2.4Ghz wifi and it actually interferes with my PC badly. Once all join back to 5Ghz, no problem.

Wah Lau...

Wireless performance is a little worse across all, especially upload speed.

I tested in my room, then came out, the technician already smiled and say "Speed drop?". Guess he already know.

I will use it a while and see how it goes.

My old TPLINK AC1900 also better....

One suprise. My son's Room WIFI has improved. He is using this GIGABYTE AORUS 450-I PRO motherboard with builit in Wifi. I check specs also WIFI AC only, not AX, but from 300Mbps previously now can reach almost 450Mbps...his room nearer to router. So i guess not all is bad. Also my Nintendo Switch can finally connect to the 5Ghz wifi without tantrums. Previously won't work unless it set to a specific channel (20 or 40, can't remember).

Hmm, i wonder if i get newer Wifi USB dongle supporting AX can get better speed?

But you will pay RM 139 every month after the first 6 mth, instead of RM 119. You will also be paying RM139 after contract ends as well. Likely old users will still be paying old rates even after contract ends.

Something like this? I probably need to find one with low profile bracket as my case is low profile and very small (probably the smallest casing i know which still can accomodate a Micro-Atx board, size is like a PS4 but thicker).

I only use 1 router. The other one still in the box, later sell in Garage Sales. Lol.

I just upgraded. Get 2 units of free modem/router. But i am still using my old Modem (which is actually new, just replaced 2 weeks ago because old one broke). So now i i have 1 unit modem/router can sell off. Lol.

Hmm..TIME Selfcare very hard to login now. Got problems? No problem with other sites or watching Prime.

Update:
I've just realized...my billing date is 22nd. So happens i asked TIME to upgrade on 23rd by coincidence since i am free that day. Billing ngam ngam cut off for previous month still old rate and start new rate this month, no pro rata thingy which is hard to count and maybe not fair to subscriber.
