I wonder if 1 unit of Huawei HG8145X6 Wifi 6 router is enough to cover a 1100 sqft house?

My fiber optic point is at far most of living room wall and my master room opposite of it.

VERYYYY SAD!!!!
Today TIME come to install, they use their optical meter test and said my fiber optic signal tak cantik. -68db.
Then they said I need to find my condo contractor to fix the fiber optic connector.

I played around with the connector and found that nothing special, I can just buy one in shopee for few ringgit and replace it.

But what bugging me is, "Is it really the connector problem? Or I need to cut the wire?"
If cut the wire, I need special tools.

So, usually is cable problem or connector problem?

Oh, splicing mean the fiber optic didn't properly cut off when put on the connector is it?


If the cable is like broken inside the wall already.....

Woah~ mean I need to route an external one or hack the wall ar?
OH NO~~~~

Ya, I saw the fiber so small, like hair.
I think need specialize tools also.

Good to know. Thanks!

Wow, that is great to hear that.
Can you PM me your number and what is the charges?

Thank you JJ and his co-worker come to my house to fix the fiber optic signal issue.
Although a bit pricy, but they've done it professionally with all the necessary tools.
Efficient and professional.




Highly recommended for those who in Penang can find him to solve your internet issue.

Hopefully the times router installation will be smooth next Monday.

I wonder what is the benefit if I set the Wifi name of 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz with same name?

Or best practice is actually set the separately?

Thanks for the explain man.

You mentioned before the HG8145X6 bandsteering is not good.
I guess I better keep them separately.

I wonder what is the typical usage for house hold to go for 1Gbps subscription?

Hello JJ~ Is me! The one you help me to fix my fiber optic issue in Penang.

Damn, I self host a cloud and suddenly the public IP failed to work this morning.
And ngam ngam you guys talked about this few days back.

You mean I just make a call to Times and tell them don't CGNAT my IP because I need it for my home server is it?

Hmm... I am not sure if I know I am in public IP or not.
Because I can't connect to the ddns I generate. If I use VPN, then I can connect to the ddns.
Without VPN, seems all the port is blocked. 80, 8080, 21, 22, etc. Not sure why.

I just call and tell them "Please switch to Public IP" that's all?
Do you know a way how to check if current is Public IP or not?

Below are the tutorial I found, I wonder if this is a good way to tell I am in Public IP or not.

Ya, I checked, It is public IP.
I can't ping that public IP outside the network.
Not sure why. It was ok pass few days.
Looks like it is blocked by the CGNAT.

Haiz...

My house PC can ping my office public IP
My office PC cannot ping my house public IP.
Both I use https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to get the public IP.

Sad man, I thought I finally can utilize my dust-collecting-PC in my house as a cloud server.
I was working fine last week. FTP, SSH, Nextcloud.

But... Really sad.

First of all, I want to say I am still a noob in networking. Despite I am a programmer.

I am using the default router Huawei HG8145X6

I used a DDNS so that I got a domain that linked to my home public IP. Out of surprise, I found that router able to run a DDNS application. I setup gnuip/dynu. Can't run duckDNS.
DDNS consider safe?

I got no knowledge to setup a self VPN and I just see this "ZeroTier" wording yesterday when I am searching the net from my issue.
But since you mention it, I will do some research on this. Thank you very much for the recommendation.

Yes, I called Times this morning and tell them I can't ping my public IP. Then their tech team help me to do some config and BOOM! I can ping already.
FTP, SSH, Nextcloud all come back.

Again, thank the community to keep me not giving up to solve the issue. Especiall JJ.

What?! Seriously! They can remote configure the router? This is new.

Ya, like the DuckDNS, the can keep the IP update running in server PC instead of router.

Thank you for your recommendation sifu. I will take note on that.
