If I go with the free router upgrade the previous router is still mine right? I'm using a tm ac1200 which I converted to time with a firmware upgrade. It works great with 300mbps before but since they upgraded me to 1gbps, nothing really changes with my wireless speed.

My wired sometimes do 500mbps now but I'm curious what a ac2600 router can do.

Nothing really most of us in the house streams data but 1gbps is future proof. We're ready for any content heavy service to come.

Can you report that selfcare is down? It let me login but after that nothing. It just keeps on loading.

Just when I decided to upgrade my router. 😁

Power cycle, turn off both modem and router. Turn on the modem and wait until its done starting up. Once the connection light is on turn on the router.

Why go back to 100mbps if you're paying the same fee or less but with 500mbps speed?

Also is there a better isp than time currently? I got upgraded to 1gbps and got the router upgrade too. I mean, I'm not getting the speed nor better service (in my exp) than time.

Hmm 119rm for 500mbps with no contract or remaining contract vs 99rm 100mbps with 24 months renewal and you choose the later.

That's 20rm diff with 400mpbs bump with no renewal.

How about checking your bios? Is the lan speed in auto or full?

Change you DNS to Google or OpenDNS. They only restrict access using thier own DNS.

Do you guys know how to set static DNS in dir882? I just see DNS relay in the LAN settings

Yes, my devices are on static already but I wanted to set the DNS from the router so any device will get the DNS.

Is it normal for the installer to take the router manual? I was scheduled for 2:30pm since I work early but the installer called and went to my house at 10am. When I got home he left the warranty paper and the box but no manual was left.

Dir882

Thanks! Good to know.

One more question. None of my devices are using much bandwidth and I'm thinking 1gbps is too much but I just got my dir882 router upgrade. Is there penalty if I downgrade to 500mbps plan?

My contract got renewed as well to 24 months.

Done. Thanks!

Hi,

My HG8145X6 was installed today but the installer set up a different SSID and password. I also can't access the router page with the default password. The installer said the password should be the one under the router but it's not working. The weird thing is when I try to access 192.168.100.1 it only ask for the password and not a username.

So I reset the router (holding reset for 2 seconds) and I can now login to it but there's no NEW button in the WAN advance settings and I can't set ng PPPoE.

telecomadmin admitelecom is not working too

Can anyone help setting up the PPPoE?

I called CS and they want me to setup HG8145X6 as modem/router and not use the old modem.

Before I try that, is it safe to unplug the optical cable?

Right now my old setup is old modem + DIR-882. Is HG8145X6 a good upgrade to DIR-882?

So I tried the direct the optical cable to the wifi6 and my password worked but no internet. ACS showing unregistered.

Now CS wants me to connect old modem back

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.
