Thanks... I was trying to use it away from the main modem, when I plug it in to a USB adapter or laptop, blue light is blinking, but I couldn't connect to anything.

Hi all.. Just checking, what's the firmware version of the dongle you guys currently used. I read that some of you are unable to used the dongle with your laptop. At the moment,  I'm still able to use mine with a laptop or 3rd party router.  Hopefully, i wont get the same problem later on.

I think I just got banned from using the backup sim yesterday. I used the backup sim with a Tplink 4g router for about a month. Now I would like to ask, is there any way to get the sim reactivated back? Does plugging the sim back into the maxis modem helps to reactivate the sim back if I plan to use it as a backup sim with maxis modem? I’ve tried calling up complaining that the backup sim doesn’t work and the answer they gave me was the backup sim only works if TM infrastructure is down. Well looks like everyone is getting the same answer from maxis support.

If you are on maxis prime, then your primary line shud be unlimited right... You can just subscribe to multisim for RM15 per month, where you will get another additional sim which is a duplicate from your primary line but the only con with the multisim sim is that it will have only have data and no voice call/sms.

another question around this. can I use my own router instead of stock maxis router for my fiber? and use the stock router to use with 4G while you are outside your home?

sorry guys, nub quest here if subs astro package with maxis broaband can get get sim backup?

With Maxis One Prime, does this mean your:

Principal One 188 is no longer 60GB but now Unlimited
OneShare 48 is no longer 5GB/10GB (i forgot how much) but now 300GB (like what alucard89 mentioned?)

I'm currently having Maxis One 128 with 2 share lines,
and is surveying Maxis Broadband/One Prime.

If it is really Principal Unlimited GB + One Share 300GB, I'm hooked. 

just a question, if my original maxis one 128 mobile data plan become unlimited under Maxis One prime, does that means i have unlimited hotspot quota as well?

Sorry to necro this thread, i just got a ZTE dongle from Maxis with the SIM.

Due to my line having LOS issue and maxis cannot send anyone to fix during this MCO.

After i fix the dongle to the Tplink router and all is fine, i can get about 1.5mbps (only) but after a few hours the dongle become  very hot and can get only 0.1mbps, like nothing, difficult to connect to any Internet. Yes, there is still blue light.

Is it due to the location of the dongle poor coverage?
I can't check maxis signal bar because no maxis phone.
Only got digi and Umobile.

Bro ... it still work?

Did u update the firmware.

my current experience with the backup SIM. It seems that Maxis are aware of users using this backup SIM & have made the backup SIM to detect the router IMEI & also your physical location. for my case, only can use the SIM in the original router & also only at the designated location.

For my case, i lived in bukit jalil.. then last year pkp phase 2 i move to perak. my location doesnt have tm fibre neither maxis fibre..
hence im using the 4G connected to archer router and my whole house still got internet and act as fibre down and 4g backup kick in

till date no fibre available in my area. so no problem about location. as long as i connected my usb zte modem into the router, then i can have wifi.

Hi TS,

I've combined my Maxis home fibre and Maxis postpaid plan...I was provided a new Maxis 4G backup sim card and a ZTE MF833V dongle.

I tried to put the new Maxis 4G backup sim card into the dongle (dongle attached to a powerbank), the light turned blue, I tried to use my computer to search for wifi connection of this ZTE dongle... cannot find it.

I tried to attached the ZTE dongle to Maxis TP-Link Archer c5v router, the light turned blue, I unplug the fibre connection (trying to force the connection switch to 4G backup)... backup is not working.

I remove the sim card from dongle and put it into a phone, I am able to connect to internet and share hot-spots connection to my other devices.

Mind to share and advise... is my ZTE dongle not working or it is locked? Can I put the sim card to a spare phone and act as hot-spots on the move (different locations)?

Thanks in advance.

Btw, are you still using it as backup only?

Hi
I'm new to Maxis Home Fibre.
Can i use the 4G backup SIM in my own ASUS router (as a backup purpose in case of fibre network is down) ?

Are you using Maxis's router or own one?
