There are risk of taking 22d of getting your modem locked permanently.

Yeah, i read of somewhere too. The auto update will locked your modem. Which, I dont want to take the risk.

N VoLTE is not native in 22D. Plus, 65D is Band 5 and Band 40 support, who knows in near future I may need the band to get a better reception or maybe unifi air will come to the town.

Hi guys, I need some clarification here. I'm new to this since I move to a new place and this Taman fiber port is full. This is my only option to get high-speed internet.
1. Do I need Unlocked set of Huawei B618
2. I see most people recommend Digi Infiniti 150, can I use another telco provider who provides unlimited hotspot tethering or just unlimited data
thank you very much guys.

1. Yes.
2. Err... The choice is yours right?

Hi, thanks for prompt reply. I'm using for my family member of 5, would like to have more data. Does data tethering really matter? Cause some telco offer unlimited data but limited data tethering.

Of course, if without data tethering you cannot share out the data with your family members. In layman terms, data tethering is hotspot.

Ok, got it , thank you

Well it’s expected that the fixed 4G modem router would have better receiving power as it is able to draw power source directly from the power socket.

Smartphone has a design limit set by regulation and also the power limit because of energy conservation.

I was thinking the same.

I bought the B618-65D V11 from Andrew’s e-store with 35dBi antenna, just in case.

Up until today, i can get very firm 20-25Mbps (3Bars) from 7AM until 12AM with my iPhone 6S and about 30Mbps (3Bars) in the midnight.

Even thunderstorms I can get 15Mbps~ (2Bars).

I’m pretty happy with the performance and stability the DiGi has provides in my place. I can watch Astro Go in HD while playing facebooks or online games without hiccups. Also, I can get about 1-1.5MBps @ the day time while 2.5-3MBps after 12AM when download GBs big files.

I’m keen to see how much of improvement the B618 modem can present.

Will update you guys after I got the modem.

Im deciding to get either B525 or B618 with limited budget. The info that i have gathered was, B618 supports 4x4 mimo while B525 supports only 2x2.

My question, why is there any advantage of getting B618 if Digi does not have 4x4? and B525 is half of B618's price.

B618 is CAT9/11 LTE while B525 is CAT6

Theoretically, CAT9 has much better speed then CAT6. But I know celcom can support CAT9, i assume DiGi can too.

Edit:
My iPhone 6S is CAT6 while iPhone XS is CAT16.
With same card, same place, my iPhone 6S can go 15-50Mbps. However my XS can go from 30-80Mbps

you sure that Digi supports Cat 9?

I cannot guarantee. But my iPhone 6s vs iPhone XS somewhat give me some respond

you are using Digi on your iphone to test?

Ofcoz. Otherwise i wont say it.

I just check the web. iP6s has 2x2 mimo while Xs has 4x4 mimo.

Other than that, the different will be CAT 6 vs CAT 16.

Let say 4x4 mimo wont do any good for DiGi compare to 2x2, then the only reason left bhinds the DiGi speed different should b the CAT different.

Digi does have 4x4, but only limited to LTE1800 with around 30 towers... Lol...

Hi guys, after heavy thunderstorm in the evening just now, my internet couldn’t get a proper coverage and best I could is 4g with 2 bar. This is the speed I’m getting. Anyone facing the same issue?

depends on your indoor signal coverage. 4x4mimo internal antenna definately signal are stronger than 2x2mimo modem.


if indoor signal are good. single band 4G wont have much different even 4g vs 4G+ modem. unless u running 4G+ on your area.
