Hi

Instead of the B618 modem, can the Huawei E8372 LTE USB used for Unifi Air sim?

so if you break the seal before the end of 2 weeks (real contract start), any idea what the penalty is? might still be a good way to get the b618...

dun know how much is the penalty but i know if the seal is broken the warranty will be void for the modem, as i can check the status from Official Huawei website.

The seal i mentioned is at the behind of the modem as this is given free to streamyx user, however speed is not good when watching video on facebook and youtube.

Really bad and slow, my streamyx is better then Unifi Air !!!

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?

you probably has 2iq

b618 is for 4G

you do know you live in condo that...
- your current b618 is using celcom WIRELESS connection prone to tower congestions, line quality
- and tm is using FIBER connection which is far more faster/stable than wireless.

lol


but if you compare the b618 router with given tm router, then obviously b618 router wifi range is much more better if you set it to wireless ap mode.

nuff said.

Advantage?

which unifi plan? elaborate. we got unifi fibre, unifi air, unifi mobile etc

both are modem. one is for fibre, one is for LTE/4g modem

if u compare plan wireless and fibre, fibre will win.

this modem is more for those who dont have access to fibre especially those with streamyx.

or usage mostly on the go.

if the speed only 10mbps, and u have other alternative that is faster, go for the alternative.

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

guys, anyone here using external 4G antenna for their B618?

I got problem now where B618 place 1st floor 4G signal strength only middle but WIFI usage at lower floor is excellent. But if i put upstair, 4G signal strength is the best but WIFI signal at lower floor suffer. I got TP-link WA860RE range extender but due to plug location, even the extender can't really receive the good WIFI signal strength.

I'm thinking buy a 4G antenna for the B618 to be used in downstair, so that i can get both best 4G and WIFI signal at downstair.

Hi, is it possible to insert sim card Unifi Air into huawei p30 to test it for coverage?

Yes. Just get the sim card only plan

Anyone know outdoor antenna that good for B618?

Plan to put those on roof, and have my b618 indoor for wifi

I bought the B618s-65d from Lazada.

Anyone know where I can find latest official firmware to download? The B618s-65d page says it's the latest but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks.

Seems someone used this antenna and got good results, tho still depends on your tower area, if it's congested then it's the same thing.

Most latest v81 firmware available for malaysian telco like unifi air and celcom are telco sim locked. for now only v11 is unlocked firmware.

Unless you want to do modding on your modem which can be modded to v81 firmware.

Yikes...Is that true? Because I planned to get the unlocked 65D from Shopee and seems like all positive review. But it's not possible for unlocked unit become locked after firmware update right?

Thanks for the reply. If modding involves physically opening up the modem, then I'll leave it as it is.

Is it possble to PM me the link?
