Hye guys. Just started using Celcom Wi-Fi. My speed especially at night is below 10mbps which is really disappointing. Any idea how to improve my speeds? Thanks in advance
*
try lock single band b3 vs b7 and do a speedtest vs auto band 4G+ b3+b7

monitor the reading of rsrp and sinr too..

your sinr a bit lower... try find a location with lower rsrp, higher sinr

How did you lock the single band?
*
install hmanager apps on android phone.

not sure which ver apps u are using is kind of like this
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Lock band is used in cause area network is congested/the certain band cause slow.

try first.
1. Click b3, and apply, monitor rsrp and sinr and do a speedtest
2. Click b7 and apply, monitor rsrp and sinr and do a speedtest
3. click both b3 n b7 apply for 4G+ available area, monitor rsrp and sinr and do a speedtest

Lock band call in/out will not workings..

If dont want to lock band just click back Auto or set via web ui 192.168.8.1 under network selection.

and do locate the modem around the house no matter higher place, lower place, beside of windows see which area is good reading of RSRP n SINR. it does effect speed too.

The coverage wasn't that bad it just I believe the network in my place too congested. I can only get the advertised speed on early morning. Others than that no chance. Will the antenna help with this?
*
what reading u are getting? ald try relocate modem within your indoor?

install hmanager apps and try lock band see any improvement if congested.

Is the TM Point unit a locked unit ?

celcom one is different stories coz ties with 30day return policy and modem contract for 24month & etc tnc smile.gif

Nope. Unsuccessful. Most likely the team need someone much2 more experience in the scene. It's not a simple extraction, change and repack back the packaging. But I have to give them credit to help the community to find way on resolving the issue. The best way now is to force celcom to unlock back the first batch router. Only the law can make it happen now. But they need to act first by filing a case to tribunal pengguna.

Good luck for trying too..pity those who affected.

i think hard to be win against it...

i think TnC is pretty clear ald, the device is subsidi price, even u pay the penalty YES device is your but it's still telco set. they have right to lock it. even first batch or latest batch i dont see celcom changed the TnC from the beginning. The lock device was't not function, just it's only support celcom sim pack icon_idea.gif

if it's 22d pretty sure is due to updated firmware d. just keep the router first lo..find some 2nd/ cheaper router like b310 for temporary first.

the reason why celcom or huawei acted like this most likely due to resellers who sold modded router and celcom also lost from their plan revenue. Huawei may act based on their customer wish, which is celcom.

its not fair for those first batch which was unlocked from beginning being locked by huawei.

Huawei should only limits the force update to the devices with IMEI that came from second batch (locked) version. Not all.
*
that might due to those irresponsibble outlet staffs sold undertable to customers. mostly return unit i think also gone at celcom center instead of return back to huawei factory instead. icon_idea.gif

at the end router missing on termination note laugh.gif

I am currently using a CAT4 router with digi i150
Kampung area so speed was not great, average 15-20 Mbps, no LTE+

I am wondering will upgrading to B618 bump up my speed? is it worth upgrading?

does 22d support volte?
*
very subjective.

1. if using 4G modem indoor rsrp is good ald, then upgrade b618 might not have different. check your hmanager reading.

2. b618-65d pair with 150i is good. indoor signal good vs all the modem in market with 2x2mimo only... b618 is double, 4x4mimo. so in term of stability n speed it should be better than 4G modem.
