You cannot depend fully on the map or TM system.
They did not update it at all.
The only way is to buy a Unifi Mobile BEBAS SIM, check what LTE Band is used there.
If there is only Band 5, that means it is not good enough to subscribe to Unifi Air.
Your area must have Band 40 or 38 for the best experience.

Well for kampung is a non-issue using Band 5 because it is less crowded.
In towns and cities, most Band 5 connections are not even able to give at least 1 Mbps download which is really worst than Streamyx.
We have to factor in everything first in order to subscribe it.
You can see how much people complained on FB unifi about unifi mobile due to bad speeds and unstable service thanks to their use of Band 5 with small bandwidth for their LTE service.

That is why I suggest to test unifi mobile BEBAS first, if it is up to par, then you can subscribe to it.

With a little bit of budget, you can get Huawei B525 with 600 Mbps LTE performance around RM500.
Most modems that around that budget you give is not LTE-A, so you cannot take full advantage of the speed to the max.
If you do want that Huawei B525, I can give you the link.

Many people said now there is less B618 because Huawei is replacing it with B818.
But maybe TM did not want it because it is too expensive.
So they replace it with a subpar modem which is ZTE MF286C.

For LTE-A modem the budget is a bit high than a typical modem.
Plus with unifi Air using a different band than the three top telcos, so your budget will be a bit high.
I think the cheapest is B525 which is around 400+.
But of course the best is B618-65d which can pull more signal and better stability in terms of speed.

Yeap but not the B618.
I am using it with B818.
Well you pay cheap, get slower speeds.
But of course that is also depends on how crowded the tower is in that area.

Well if you got fibre, why not stick to that?
If I do have the choice to subscribe to fibre, I will subscribe to it.
Lower ping and more stable speeds.
The only issue is I am left to choose of Streamyx 4 Mbps or unifi Air.
As long unifi Air is able to give good download speeds, I am satisfied already.

Unifi Air can tether.
Unlimited quota and tethering, no speed cap.

Yes.
No problem.

Well your SINR is quite bad.
Maybe congested.

Yes unifi Air.
I use it on my iPad as hotspot.
No issues at all.

You set APN for all the three empty boxes?

FYI Unifi Bebas unlimited package got a speed cap of 8 Mbps.
Thus the speed will always be around that.
That 12 Mbps is a temporary jump but it will go down around that speed of 6 to 8 Mbps.

To check it, you may download HManager app to install.
Only available on Android and have to sideload it.

Wait you get Band 38?
Band 38 is quite rare and most location in Seremban I tested is Band 40.

The specs seems the same like Huawei B618.
But dunno how the performance is less than 2x the performance of Huawei one.
I suggest if you want to get good speeds, you take SIM only pack and buy your own modem.

Based on the specs, it is compatible with Band 38 and 40 only.
No luck for Band 5.

That one I cannot say much.
Never tried it.
Maybe can find in FB group about TP Link modem?
See how the feedback is.

The best so far I know is only Huawei modems.

Huawei B525-65d.

Hahaha.
Do not thank me only, thank the other forummers who also suggest me to get this Huawei model.
I cannot remember his name but thanks to him, now finally I can upgrade my speed from the shitty 4 Mbps Streamyx to this awesome 50 Mbps+ speed internet.
Anyway for DNS, you are able to change it directly in the router by inserting some commands in the console of the browser.

But for the B818 code, you replace it with this:
$('#dhcp_dns').show();

I suggest you try to buy the Bebas SIM and try what Band is there available.
Test the line for a few days and also the speed.
If you have only Band 5 connected, I suggest you stay with Streamyx because Unifi Air is really slow on Band 5.
If connected to Band 40 and can get full speed of 8 Mbps (Bebas got cap speed of 8 Mbps), you may try to subscribe for 1 month and put it inside the phone.
If got good speed, then proceed.
And I suggest DO NOT take the device bundle because the modem that TM gives got so many issues and complaints.
Better to buy your own modem and the plus points of owning your own modem is you can put any SIM you want besides the TM modem which locked to unifi Air only.

Well I suggest to buy the Unifi Bebas SIM and try what Band is there as I explained above.
Only RM10.
But I cannot confirm whether the new SIM will get free BEBAS for one month like previously.
If don’t have, just buy for 1 week at RM20.
Try kaw-kaw.

Then you can apply via online or show proof that your area is able to get the speeds.
That is what I do when I try to migrate from Streamyx to Unifi Air.

Here it is.
I thought I gonna post it.
Someone already answer you.
😂

iPhone always try to connect to Band 7 no matter what.

For iPhone is a bit complicated to explain.
It should state it connects to Band 40, not Band 7.
Band 7 is not available for Unifi Mobile.

Check maybe cannot.
Maybe can ask any expert here?
