Public price is RM 129, the coverage is super duper rare as this is using different frequency compare with unifi mobile.
The info can refer to the current wireless broadband on unifi website.

No point either, the coverage is too limited. mega_shok.gif
Now, where do we get our hands on the router? hmm.gif

guys, if i plan to buy unifi set, do i need to own unifi 1st? or that price is open for all?

You mean Unifi AIR?
You need to be a Streamyx user for now, public offerings are still unsure? Last I'd heard is that they would prioritize Streamyx users that are eligible first, but Live Chat has told me otherwise, which is sketchy.

@RM79 if you're a Streamyx user and within the area of coverage, TM representatives will call you up to offer the plan.
@RM129 if you're not a subscriber but within the area of coverage.

Plans are tied to a 24 month contract.

If the location have Unifi Air and I plan to bring to other location , does it lock on certain location ?
Lets say state to other state ?
*
It should be just based on their TDD coverage.
So if there's coverage it should work.

The unifi air coverage is very limited ,  if it is out of coverage , will it use other telco 4G band as replacement ?
*
Yes, it's limited. And no, it will not.

Just snap in your Digi card then and see if it's accepted or not?
Or what's your modem variant?
22d or 65d?

anyone here using b528? how is it compared to b618? i am thinking of buying b618 but so hard to find and tm point sarawak area dont even offer the package.
*
Don't think so?
By far B618 is still far superior.

It's literally impossible to get it from TM anymore? Local sets are being snatched up quickly even on both e-commerce sites.

Unless you're looking for the 22d variant?

I do wonder how many B618 users actually bring their units out? Making it like portable mobile Wi-Fi.

Since there are step up USB cables that are able to up the 5V to 12V sold on various platforms.

All we need to do is to just plug it into a powerbank with 5V output. sweat.gif

I don't bring out unless I go back my hometown during major festivals which has no Internet as nobody lives there most of the time. I will bring back the whole thing and put in luggage bag. laugh.gif

I don't think it's convenient to bring everywhere la. If you want a good portable MiFi, can consider Netgear M1. I had that earlier and very good for travelling.

Thanks for the wonderful input. Because I do travel a lot around the northern regions where there's no proper fibre infrastructure.

And what is the max for digi perday usage on RM 8 ? sorry , I think I should ask at digi forum but not sure how many pople  using RM 8 and tested on this huawei B618 modem aso I asked here.
*
There's a speed cap for that 8 ringgit add on but only after 20GB. After that speed is capped.
Suitable for testing if you have doubts for your area as suggested by Fruitie.

Download ? or upload or both ? yep test first before buying but non of mobile phone having 4G+ so i can't get a full speed 50mbps.
*
Both upload and download speeds were capped at 0.5 Mbps after 20GBs I think. Even with 4G+, band locked with HManager.

But if you're just testing it for coverage and speeds it should be fine. Don't think we can finish that all with just speedtests right?

Now ,how do you think I can get a B618 unlock ?
Currently since tm already stop offering the modem.
*
E-commerce sites still have stock, but ever since TM plugged the "loophole" the prices seems to be higher than before for the 65d variant.
Do try your luck if you're interested in getting one and joining the family! haha

Any guides or tips on what external antennas to get?
Plan to get a top notched one with decent pricing if there's any.
Links to products are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It means you need to change something through what is not legally or officially from the manufacturer.

Hi, sorry for noob question. I just got myself this Huawei B618 recently. I recently moved to a newly completed condo and that time, TM haven't install port for the condo. According to the management office, TM will only start installation after few months. I need the internet service ASAP. So i visited celcom and was introduced to the Home wireless plan. After close to 2 months of using this celcom home wireless service, TM is now available in my condo.

So my question is, What is the advantage of this Huawei router comparing to Unifi modem? Isn't modem more stable and faster? Why do ppl choose this router over the modem? I did a speed test and it is only 10mbps. Don't you guys think its a bit slow compare to unifi modem?

Thanks

You're comparing two different things and two different sources.
So how is it the same?

how to setup hotspot shield vpn or nord vpn on this router?
*
Don't think NordVPN is possible since they discontinue their support for L2TP and PPTP since last December?

You probably need to get ExpressVPN that still suports L2TP
