Hi All... long time never post here.
Recently subscribed to TIME 500mb/s and come with 1 unit of MESH.
Current set up:
Router - Huawei OptiXstar HG8145X6
Mesh - Huawei EchoLife WA8021V5
Condo roughly about 1,800sqf but then when do speed test on 2.4GHz and 5GHz both result disappointed. Even the mesh next to my laptop but test showing max 100mbps only.
Question is:-
1. Should I upgrade the router and mesh to after market brand? What is the best model? Please suggest.
2. Why when I use LAN take from the Mesh, max only can get 80mbps?
Thank you.

If you are getting 2xx--3xxMbps on 5GHz, then try to place the WA8021V5 further away (approx. 8--10m)....& test again. same s**t bro. so dissapointed now Further question: Currently TIME provide with modem & router as single (combo) unit. I eying at NetGear Nighthawk series and all of them are Router only. Can I split the modem to stand alone unit? How? What brand? |

QUOTE(jjj2 @ Oct 18 2022, 04:28 PM) What's the speed you are getting if connected to X6 via Wired & 5GHz wifi (with Mesh WA8021V5 Off) ? - Wired +-500mb - 5Ghz ... about 10 meters from router.. only 50mbps max I recon this is due to X6 is not powerful enough? Will upgrade the router will help to solve this issue? Yes, you can. apart setting your Netgear as AP (defeat the purpose), you can request the CS to push in the Bridge Mode profile, the Huawei X6 will be functioning as Bridge Mode ONT, by passing all the Routing functions to your router. - What you mean defeat the purpose here? - In simpler words, X6 set as modem only and the router function Netgear will take over? |

QUOTE(jjj2 @ Oct 18 2022, 06:00 PM) Hello Just got myself Netgear RAX80 to replace my Huawei X6. As recommended by you let the RAX80 act as a router and X6 only work as a modem. My question is, do I need to concern about X6 modem mode? as previous performance is very poor (modem+router). Should I change to Modem Only unit? Any recommendation what brand is the best to match with RAX80? If I'm about to change to a new model only unit, what spec should I looking for? Or all modem the same? please sifu... |

It's ok to act as an ONU only & your router will perform all the rest of routing jobs. Thanks. yup scheduled on Sat for them to extend the cable at the same time will get them to set up for me the RAX80. Hope the X6 will do a good job as modem only. if the X6 act as modem only... I can take out the antenna right? |

Yup you are right. They charge RM80 to extend the cable however I'm not sure how much will they charge for the RAX80 set up... |
