hi all. Just got a subsale condo and plan to install Time. However I suspect the previous owner cut the fiber - cannot find the fiber wall socket anywhere in the house and found a fibre dangling from the ceiling next to the MDB.

if i go with Time - does the standard installation cover the fiber wall socket or do i need to top up / find an external contractor to fix it prior to installation?

inside the house. next to the main distribution box for power - where the MCB and fuses are.

noted - will TIME cover the cost or do i need to top up for installation?

Here? - no. This is in the kitchen

Noted. thanks for the pointers. This is a subsale at Tiffani at Mont Kiara

planning my network layout..

Can the Huawei mesh given as part of a new 500Mbps be used as an AP for my own router? (thinking to change the Huawei ONT to bridge mode).

Edit: Also do I wait till the installation date or should I preempt Time about setting the Huawei ONT to bridge mode before installation?

Mileage may vary. The installer assigned to me refused to support converting to bridge mode and let me use own router (which I already configured and only pending PPPoE credentials). In the end contacted Time Support after he left - "Fine - I will do it myself".

Anyone want to buy the Huawei Wifi5 mesh node from me? Brand new unused except for the installer to "demonstrate OK and sign".

jjj2 pm me if you have staff or a contact that services Mont Kiara - might need an audit and rectification. The installer I used managed to turn a CAT6 into CAT5 speeds and is now shirking responsibility

replied your mesg

yes. the IP address is still valid and can use wifi (or LAN port) with the credentials under the ONT to log in and disable

yup cause it is in bridge mode. Once you connect to that wifi, use 192.168.100.1 to get to the login page. just make sure you disable the wifi you are on last (2g or 5g)

my experience was within 15mins end to end.. most time spend waiting for CS to come online.
They will ask u whether u already configured your router with credentials and plugged in before they "flip the switch"

yea - if u login to the ONT, you will find a checkbox ticked to have the same SSID for 2.4G and 5G. Just untick to set different SSID for each band. that said a 2.4g device will not see the 5G anyway, so there is no harm in using a combined SSID
