Top Huawei LTE-A/4G+ router so far (2019)
1st place - B618
2nd place - B528
3rd place - E5186
4th place - B525

I need band 5, is there other alternative than b618 & b525?

What’s so special about the B528? Is there two version 23a and other version?

Maxis is having 4G unlimited in RM 138 so I’ve decided to terminate my Digi Infinite 150. I’ve two modem which is e5168 and B525. Will B528 or B618 improve my maxis download speed?

Maxis has quota, not really unlimited. Only 300GB.

Yeap I’m aware of that. Average usage around 220gb +\- during Digi i150 cause when I check the e billing they show how many GB usage.

It may have streaming cap. I'm thinking to switch too, wait for more updates from users.
My usage is lower than 150GB.

I'm waiting for Maxis staff to call me as I've pre-ordered it. Since is RM 108 per month for the first 12 months as I'm a Maxis postpaid user.

It's a waste of money. Why did you so insist on getting B618? … You should try others models.

It's Huawei B525s-65a, connection on Maxis is quite good/stable with speed of 30-70mbps DL and 8-30mbps UL at my location. Furthermore, it supports a variety of LTE bands, unlocked unit, and even cheaper for RM450~500.

Don’t mind me asking, what’s the different between B525 23a & 65a? Let say for Maxis users.

Need your opinions guys, what do you think about the HUAWEI B818-263? Is it a good 4G modem for Band 3 & 7? Since the price is around rm 530

When I register Maxis One WiFi Plan. I did ask the sales person. There is a FUP (Fair Usage Policy) on this so called Unlimited usage. Generally is 300Gb, once you hit that quota, Maxis will reduce your usage speed to very low. That’s why is still Unlimited.

On the others like Digi i150 I’m currently still using, I’ve usage above 300Gb and it didn’t throttle my download speed. There is once I’ve hit 384Gb recently 😂.
