The old 65D was bought and belongs to us, I don't think they have the right to locked it

yeah should be tho

how is this compare with D-Link DWR-921?
i use 921 for my unifi #bebas simcard and plan to upgrade to huawei

I can vouch for B618 will increase the speed for at least 10mbps+ for 4G sim internet provider

thanks for this. i will opt for replacement then

still depending on the area tower if congested or not.

Anyone using P99 plan with Huawei B618-65d?
It show connected but can't surfed net at all, but the sim card already activated and I can send out SMS
Any setting need to configure?

u need to ehem the router.

Huh? What you mean?

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

I though 65d can use by all telcos?
Is there mean should purchase those telcon broadband plan, if using other like P99 need modify?

If i use digi inifinite 150 do we need modify 65d?

Try search youtube on how to tweak.
P99 doesn't allow unlimited hotspot.

case closed, unlimited data plan in umobile can use on phone only not modem
so i terminate it request refund, and change to digi infinite 150 work well now

I150 + b618 = godding bro.

i'm currently using one P99 trial version (#UCubaTry) with B618s-22D

i dont have default b618 so i can't tell, i know hotspot isn't unlimited BUT it should be 30GB hotspot right? at least it should be usable for 30GB of data

ehem a special b618-22d

B618-22d coupled with both Digi i150 vs Umobile P99 (trial) in my area.

Test condition:
1. i always use Yes 4G KL server location (there is one that i forgot to change, highlighted in the pic)
2. test is at the same time (tried to switch the simcard as soon as 1 test is done, so minimum time gap)
3. location of the modem is exactly the same
4. no extra load in network during the test (closely monitored in RESMON)
5. both are on 4G+ (LTE-A)

Result of the test:

- apart from what you can see from the pictures, Umobile does limit the speed of Youtube, from my test it was roaming around 1.5mbps only watching 1080p60, while Digi don't (hit above 30mbps)
do note that there is no problem of buffering, but you can tell your video won't start as fast as when using Digi, and time skipping to certain time in the video will make you wait few seconds longer too.

- ping to google server (auto) hit the lowest at 15ms with Digi while Umobile at 17ms
ping to Apex Legends SG server hit the lowest at 24ms on Umobile (averaging at 34ms+-) while 35ms on Digi (averaging 40to50ish ms)

- upload speed in most cases is always faster in Umobile, this is personally big deal for me because i do stream on Twitch (1080p60)

- there is always occasional RTO between 5:30PM to 10PM on Umobile, which is not a problem for normal web activities such as watching Youtube or Twitch or browsing, BUT a BIG PROBLEM for online gaming (this was only tested for 2 days on Saturday and Sunday, yet to test on weekdays)

- casual browsing of "localized" content (or anything with good CDN) such as Facebook or even LYN feels alot snappier in Umobile than in Digi for some reason





so far I've tested Celcom, Digi, Umobile in my area using B618-22d, Celcom is still the best (cons is expensive due to quota system or the hourly system), tested Maxis only on the phone which gave me really high result (130mbps+), i know by using b618 i might get higher, but not really interested to pursue further, just want to focus on the unlimited / cheap category, can't wait to test YES4G (having difficulty to find a shop that sells the simcard close to my place) and also Unifi Air (which TM point dont sell, only TM Center, but TM Center close on weekends, which is a problem for me)

Feel free to PM me to ask anything related to my test

I think his hotspot quota finished
