Can still use custom DNS server without DoT or DoH. Of course using own router and not TIME provided router.
*
So only the stock router does this or should we set up DoH anyway?

May i know what impact you are referring to ?

Specs are a bit dated but eh is fine for XP but you should really get onto a more modern OS than XP

A larger issue would be the network adapter on the PC
Say a 10/100 Mbps ethernet controller or a old b/g wifi card
These would bottleneck your connection.

Did you change the DNS IP in your router or just your PC?

I changed mine in the router (TPLink EC230-G1) as well, and I do not have problems with that except may be encrypted SNI which is yet to be implemented by the browsers.

It is the same for firefox but I have to enable certain network settings as advised in https://techorbiter.com/how-to-enable-encry...n-firefox-esni/

Looks like your browser is using DoH according to the last image, since the page mentions "secure transport"

Try 1.1.1.1/help and see if it says you're using DoH or DoT

A lot of browsers nowdays are by default enabling DoH

Hi , i just get my TIME fibre 500Mbps installed today

Almost full speed

Just one question , can i change the DNS of the given Huawei HG8145V5 ONT? It seems to be hardcoded to TIME DNS server and intercepting the DNS request via UDP 53 from any DNS server (etc Google & Cloudflare , both replied a TM IP and apparently its MCMC IP)

I don't use time so I dont really know but looking back at older posts it seems that your options are to either

1. call CS to put ONT to bridge mode, then use your own router in PPPoE mode and set DNS there
or
2. Use Encrypted DNS like DoH or DoT
or maybe try logging into huawei ONT and see if there's any options there?
telecomadmin/admintelecom worked for me on maxis but that's just an ONT with no WiFi, not sure how TIME has it setup

To add to that, not just hard-coded, hijack too on port 53.

Change the DNS on your device, it's gonna get hijacked back to TIME DNS. Have to use DNS Over HTTPS.

I transfered from Astro IPTV to Time exclusive recently.. the installers took away my old time modem and replace with this ONT2 in 1 as well.. now I can't use my Asus AX3000 router. Is there anyway I can configure the ONT to function only as a modem?? I can't seem to do I from the menu. This ONT coverage not as good as my AX-3000 not to mention simultaneous device support.

Have to contact CS to change mode.

Well yes you can but why? It's not a good router, also you'll be advertising for Unifi as their stock firmware appends @unifi to the end of your wifi name.

Contacted CS and didn't help at all, just ask me to request for free Mesh under Selfcare Portal->Shop and said Huawei HG8145V5 is only given to new subscriber. The CS even said your existing Huawei HG8240H not support the free Mesh no problem at all, the free Mesh can be a router. Come on TIME, my intention is I want to expand my wifi coverage via this free Mesh but if this free Mesh is only to replace my existing TP-Link wifi router then it doesn't help me at all in expanding my wifi coverage, disappointed!

This mesh replaces both the modem and router...

Are you sure you want to do that?

Thank you for your input. How come ya? The model description stated they supported up to 300mbps. Welcome your input.
*
It's a bit of sly marketing

by 300Mbps they mean Wi-Fi AC specs, so 300Mbps on 2.4Ghz and 867Mbps on 5Ghz
So by that they mean the Wi-Fi can go up to say 1200Mbps "combined"
So you could transfer files locally over Wi-Fi up to said speed.
In reality you will never see those speeds but that's not the main issue here.

The problem is the router has 10/100 WAN and LAN ports

so between your modem and router only can go up to 100Mbps
that's the bottleneck

Basically like
Fibre cable (2.4Gbit) -> Modem (1Gbit) -> Router (100Mbps) -> Wi-fi ("up to" 1200Mbps)

Your slowest link is 100Mbps so, 100Mbps is all you get.

Get a router with Gigabit WAN Ports.

It's an all in one unit, but you can still use your own router, just ask to be setup for that mode

Anyone using pi-hole and ads are blocked successfully with Huawei HG8145V5 router?

Previously using Unifi and it was working correctly, after changing to Time, even though pointing my phone/devices dns server to pi-hole ip address but none of the ads are being blocked.

Also facing some laggy issues streaming tea tv movies, 30Mbps Unifi to 100Mbps Time macam no difference, pls help to advise? Thanks

On a side note, tvbox chrome browser speedtest.net gives about 25Mbps but downloading the speedtest.net app shows 90Mbps, really puzzled.
*
Not sure for the other ones but somewhere in here is mentioned the TIME provided router hijacks all DNS and points it to TIME DNS instead of whatever you have set up

Replace with own router.

Hi,
I just subscribed TIME 500mbps package that comes with Huawei HV8145V5 modem and router WA8021V5. I would like to setup  and use TP Link Deco E4R + M3W for mesh due to my house layout.

Tried to setup by connecting the Deco E4R to huawei router in access point mode (doesn't work in router mode) however the speed is throttled down to only 90mbps. Called TIME CS on this and they advise same setup but speed was only 90mbps.

Appreciate for any advise or help to setup Deco for full house coverage. Thanks.

Deco E series ports max 100mbps, get M4

I have an issue I hope someone would be able to help me out with.

Initially, when Time setup the Internet at home, there are two created:

xxx_5g (5GHz only)
xxx (2.4GHz only)

However, now I see that xxx (which is supposed to be for 2.4GHz channel) also has a 5GHz version under the same name. I'm not sure if this has caused some issues as sometimes the xxx network has only 1 bar, when in the past should be higher. I assume it is because the device is connecting to the 5GHz band, and only to 2.4Ghz when it drops off.

How can I solve this? I did not tinker with anything so not sure how come it's like that. I am also pretty sure that when the setup was done, there was no issue. This issue is more recent (last 2 weeks).

Thanks!
*
Not sure on the connections side of things but you should be able to merge em together by removing the _5g from the 5ghz one

Hi guys, I know my question is hardware related, but was hoping to get sifu advice here. I have also posted my question in the router thread, but am hoping for quick response, thus here i am as well. Sorry if my question is redundant.

I am on TIME fiber 500mbps plan.
Current router is Huawei WA8021V5.
Current modem is Huawei HG8240H5.

All the buzz around WIFI 6, i want to capitalize on the OFDMA and MU-MIMO tech and convinced to upgrade now.

What needs to change? The router only? or both router + modem?
May I have a recommendation of what brand and model?

I have my TIME username and password with me. Is that enough to setup with when i get the new WIFI 6 hardware? Or do i need more info?

Does my device needs to support WIFI 6 to make use of the OFDMA/MY-MINO tech? Main phones at home are iPhone XS, Mi 9T Pro, Redmi 10, Huawei Nova 3i (all support WIFI 5 only)

Many thanks in advanced.
*
The router needs to change (WA8021V5)
Brands, personally would say TP-Link or Asus
Asus more expensive but more features too
Can't go wrong with any depending on vudget
(skip TP-Link AX50 though, seems to have some heat related problems)

If it's the PPPoE username + password then yes it seems

Device wise,
OFDMA seems to need wifi 6, MU-MIMO seems to be a wifi 5 thing.

full speed can be obtained if you using LAN cable directly to the router/modem.

If you use WIFI, can get 25% speed only. How o resolve this ya?

What router and what devices?
If you are using a USB Wifi card on a desktop/laptop, usually those are N150 (max 150Mbps)
