My TIME start to not stable after the upgrade kick in (mine upgraded to 500Mbps).
Experienced few time wake up from sleep, WIFI still there but without internet connection, need to restart both modem and router.
Also few times suddenly disconnected.
Speed also not as expected.
Max via 5 GHz WIFI get 200+ Mbps on Android, iOS only 100+ Mbps. LAN cable test also wont reach 200 Mbps.
Youtube seems load slower than previous before upgrade.
Torrent also seems just around 100 Mbps (via LAN).

Anyone here have the same issue?
Anything i can do to increase the speed?

I restart both the router and modem (white and black color).
Not sure about my cable is CAT 5E and above or not. but that is cable that come together during installation.

I actually more concern on the frequent no internet issue

router is without antenna type, model is DIR-850L.
will check on the cable tonight

same things happen again this morning, i try to restart the modem first, but still same have WIFI but without internet.


then i restart the router (DIR-850L), every work fine after that.
(Both light are green before restart)

So the problem is the router?

via desktop LAN cable TIME website , around 100 Mbps
via iOS speedtest app, also around 100 Mbps (5 Ghz WIFI)
via Android speedtest app, around 250 Mbps (5 Ghz WIFI)

My friend say DIR-850L cant really support high speed.
planning to change my router

where to get my username and password for TIME?

Thanks for the info, very useful

Yeah seems getting new router is the best way for my case

Any recommended router?

was looking at TP-Link Archer C1200, the current that TIME providing.
Since that model cost around RM250, so maybe budget below 300 is that sufficient?
Not really need a big coverage, i dont have big house
i got no complaint on the current DIR-850L coverage

You mean TP-Link Archer C1200?

-- Orange globe light bug not fully resolved.
Means the Globe light is orange but internet is up as usual?

Saw from TIME shop, is RM235 or 24 months contract renewal.
I think my contract expired around Aug 2019, so 24 months start from Aug 2019? or 24 months start from now?

Ya i know if purchase is without contract, just asking regarding the contract renewal instead of purchase

not really research on router before
any recommendation from you?

Any recommended WIFI router to replace my DIR-850L?
My current package is 500Mbps
Budget RM300

Hi All Sifus

I got 2 unit of Huawei HG8145X6 for my contract renewal (Year 2023).


would like to ask, can i use this Huawei HG8145X6 as Wifi Router?
means it still connect to my old modem (as below):


I believe it's doable, coz 2 of my friend house is being configure that way.
but when i try, i not able to find the place to put in the PPPoE credentials.

also when i try to configure, i notice 192.168.100.1 (if i remember the IP correctly), will reach different page.
when use wifi, will reach this page:

the username/password at the bottom of the device not able to login this page.

when use LAN cable, is another page but too bad forgot to screenshot.
the username/password at the bottom of the device able to login this page. i manage to configure the wifi name and password here, but not able to find place to put in PPPoE credential

Thanks a lot. will give it a try tonight

to confirm, the WPS button is the 1 at the side of the device, correct?

didnt get into the page again while i try to re-configure.
internet are working fine now so can just ignore that page issue lol
anyway thanks for your explanation

able to put in the PPPoE credential and use that as my wifi router.
thanks for the advice.
btw, i change to AP mode in the system instead of pressing the button

Hi All Sifus,

i renewed my contract with TIME almost 2 years ago, next contract expiry is on mid of April 2025 (ngam ngam 3 months from today).
Would like to ask, when will i able to see the offer for contract renewal? still didnt see such things after login to self care.

previous renewal i got 2 unit of Huawei HG8145X6, which currently use 1 of it as my router after my TP-Link AX73 start to become not stable on the internet.
the TP-Link AX73 was bought on mid 2021 with 3 years warranty, so after warranty expired it start to have problem on Q3 2024
they memang count till ngam ngam on the lifespan?

current Huawei HG8145X6, i found that the performance is not that good, sometimes internet (WiFi) is a bit slow when in the room. never have this problem when using TP-Link AX73 previously.
Should i head for the WIFI7 router from TIME? (if they offer me the router for contract renewal)
or should i just get another router from other brand? saw this TP-Link BE230 WiFi 7 BE3600 while exploring.
add on: i have quite a number of gadget and IOT connecting to the WiFi

need advice on the above.
thanks again.

Any recommended router from you?
