how much is your budget if 4G modem can get huawei if your internet speed is capped plan

get huawei b310 see which type u want. got fews type of this modem. 2x2mimo internal antenna cheap2 4G modem. no wifi 5ghz. so 2.4ghz wifi max speed around 50mbps only... even said modem is support up to 150mbps unless u run under LAN connection.

get b618-22d a bit risky at the modem due to sialcom(rm499) firmware update and telco lock set... lock set mean only can use for sialcom..not suit for others telco. cheap2 <RM1k 100% is sialcom set. wont be oversea set as b618 price still above 1k.

get b618-65d self sign up at tm selected outlet(rm565). modem is unlock can put all sim. best 4G+ modem in the market and it's cheap2 vs others 4g+ modem. 4x4mimo internal antenna signal strong. got 5ghz wifi...

i'm using b618-65 like it. coz using i150 & it have VoLTe too.... got pay expensive for use the unlimited call as well.

used b310, e5186-22a b618 best indoor signal antenna.

why not choose others brand like tp link, tenda come with 3 year warranty?
1. their dont have apps support like huawei hmanager i can see signal strength. ( i can refer and locate my modem in house easy find a good spot with statistic)
2. No Volte support
3. Most IMPORTANT, only huawei modem can lock specific band.. not force 4G. lock band. like digi have b3, b7 and b8. when network area is congested/ tower maintenance, then lock band is most important things for me. only huawei could do this.

up to user...

for me modem cant lock band i wont buy ald.... ( alots of user know modem also wont buy if cant lock band)
try to explain more simple way about lock band feature example digi got b3,b7 n b8
lock band
1. b3
2. b7
3. b8
4. b3+b7 (if it's 4G+ modem)
in congested area, u have 4 option to do something about the connection speed and stability.

If cant lock band, like hp no rooted. the modem only run auto band, will connect the strongest signal, if all also strong then random pick by modem. hence also might facing auto keep switching winthin band randomly none stop too..haha..then line also flicking la

2nd huawei is more resell value as they can be xxx(censored) haha. for others sim pack like gx30, gx50, YES, n etc unlimited sim but hotspot limit(only tak throught pm) cause is illegal things.

huawei got fews modem
1. b310 many are using 4G modem, 2x2mimo (2.4ghz wifi only)
2. e5186-22a support main telco like d,m,c CA/4G+ (2.4 & 5ghz wifi)
3. b525 4G+ modem, 2x2mimo (2.4 & 5ghz wifi)#
4. b612 not sure support CA/4G+ telco or not, wrote is 4.5G modem. should be 2.4 & 5ghz wifi too, 4x4mimo pretty same like b618 if it's support 4G+

others model rarely being used.

2nd modem alots in fb seller..those user who upgrade to use b310/b618..2nd cheap2 also...can get nego till best price.

tenda, dlink, n etc brand huhu in fb.

do note that auto band only, unable to lock band.

u will be happy if connected to slow band which aka run single band only..coz of the modem is running auto band only...

like digi b3, b7 n b8. on my b618 auto mode without using hmanager apps to lock 4G+. Everyday start up modem, will be happily assigned auto at b8, which is slowest band network. haha....

i have to lock 4G+, play lock and auto, once auto i seing 4G+ appear on b618. then no need set anymore... that is what lock band function. if auto..good luck buy expensive modem n enjoice b8 speed 5mhz tower
i had to set auto network coz i'm using VoLTE the phone function to call in/out at my phone lol

for my area 4G+ tower digi la
b3 15mhz speed 100mbps
b7 20mhz speed 100mbps
b8 5mhz speed <20mbps, some area just 5mbps only.

hope someone get the meaning of auto & lock band function. all device no matter is hp/modem priority wont be 4G+

B310 - 4G modem RM2xx~RM3xx
E5186-22a - 4G+ modem RM4xx
B525 - 4G+ modem RM6xx
B612 - 4.5G modem not sure support CA b3+b7 or not. new model. RM3xx , 4x4 mimo (strong indoor signal)
B618-22d - 4g+ & VoLTE modem RM499(sialcom signup), 4x4 mimo (strong indoor signal)
B618-65d - 4G+ & VoLTE modem RM565(TM self signup), 4x4 mimo (strong indoor signal)

dont ask why 4G+ modem is expensive. u can compare n see your self which is best buy.
e5186 n b525 is retail 4G+ modem price. does't drop much also from last year when heat on using digi i150.

B618 is subsidies telco set priced, 50% from retial price cheaper.
22d variance a bit risky to buy at the moment cause originally is telco lock set and have some firmware issue on latest update.

65d is unlocked originally by tm, not sure they will change or not in future or not.

others brand like tenda, tplink, dlink not recomended. It's advice from modem user/advance user.

idk... but for my area b7 area much better than b3. in UL term beat b3 very much.

but m'sia telco 4G+ deploy only will have b3+b7. so no matter what they also will be using b7.

b8 wise is very limited and slow speed. and CA is not applicable for b8.

tendah modem price is consider pretty cheap and affordable & with attractive warranty period.

do some survey before u buy it. as 2nd price would be bad/hard to sales off..cause many are using cheap2 internet plan with unlimited data & limited hotspot plan.

that is the only reason why huawei modem is high market demand, due to custom firmware and the special features other modem cant do.

cheap internet plan
1. gx30,
2. gx50,
3. YES 4G RM30 & etc YES unlimited plan

modem does't support. 5G modem cost a boom.... aka b818 market price i think roughly around RM2k+. 8x8mimo beast

if later TM/celcom subsidice RM5xx would grab it when it release

b310 vs b618.

2x2mimo vs 4x4mimo

check RSRP reading
check SINR reading

self compare

check speedtest.

pics explain everything..hope someone understand the value of b618

using hmanager apps install on your android phone. if is custome firmware just tick only from web ui page 192.168.8.1

for digi b3~b7 almost the same.

b8 is slowest..

and need to check congested or not... and see your indoor signal strong or weak... but in term b3=b7

for 20mhz tower UL will be higher than 15mhz tower.

1. yea, huawei offcial malaysia not selling modem. unless is telco broadband set then those u may have warranty. mostly seller selling is seller personal warranty or shop warranty. unless they know how to fix/they send back to china to fix. M* not allowed to talk in chat. haha...

2. import set not really matter if u want to upgrade the firmware when there is new update coming. but i doubt there is new firmware anymore on some specific old model.

3. not allowed to talk. haha.

unifi mobile prepaid, max speed 8mbps come with unlimited data n hotspot. unifi mobile 4g is running b5, b38 & b40. which band depending on the each area having which. b5 is low bandwidth slow speed, but usable.
