Just subscribed yesterday with contract for 24month that includes B618 4G Router. My home is out of blue coverage area about 4km(approximately). Manage to get 1bar signal with speed up to 15mbps. I'm satisfied with this spec since other telco that offer unlimited plan is congested in my area. Gonna tune external antenna to get better coverage later.

Edit : Forgot to mention I lock Band 40. Band 5 & band 38 signal is everywhere but use 5mhz spectrum that always congested. Band 40 is for Unifi Air. Unifi Mobile usually will utilise band 5 & 38. That is why coverage map in Unifi Air page is smaller.

risky

Move around outdoor and try or change band 5 or 38
if bad, I suggest u try other telcos

The signal is too poor, not worth the money.

wanna ask if my area got coverage for unifi mobile 4g but no coverage for unifi air, still can use unifi air?
or can i get a unifi prepaid to test the speed 1st before subscribing unifi air?

kesian my area only got streamyx haiz

QUOTE(penanghomes @ Jan 10 2020, 11:09 PM)
same case as you
*
tried unifi bebas(free data first sign up, no cap one) it's using the same tower(the signal and speed tested), and speed/signal is the same, but of course, the router has better signal/speed coz mimo

It's expensive to build 2 separate towers for separate plan
do know that mobile only support band 5/38 is what I heard. but unifi air support band5/38/40

I suggest if ur mobile has decent speed 20+mbps, then just walk in and buy the RM79/no contract is the only way to find out

I'm confused ... I tried my unifi Air + modem at office (wanna use it instead of company wifi, or my mobile data) although not in the map coverage, it doesn't work although definitely got unifi mobile signal as my colleagues are using it.
*
Is your modem supported band 5/38/40? Your colleagues are phone might support one of the band while the modem doesn't.
For example, your area got band40 only, ur colleagues phone support band 40

but ur modem doesn't support band 40 = no-line

if your modem support band40 still no signal, then you need to login to the modem and change the band to 40

I'm using the modem provided, the Huawei B618-65D ... as I understand, for TDD, it only supports Band 40 and not Band 38.

(copy paste from other sites:-

Huawei B618s-65d: Band 1/3/5/7/8/28/40

B618-65d:-
    FDD 700 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 MHz
    TDD 2300 MHz

you need to figure out what is the band in your area that unifi air support
so it's clearly Band5 supported only or you didn't setting probably to lock which band38/40

Help needed rclxub.gif  Subscribed to Unifi Air (sim card only) and I am using Huawei B315 Router.
The error I encounter is "Connection failed. The profile is invalid. Please contact your service provider".
I have already contacted TM but they can't help me since I am not using the router provided by TM. APN is already defaulted to unifi, but it just don't seems to work. Anyone with tips of what should I do?
Thanks.
*
It's clearly meant u need to set APN to celcom

Does anyone have any information on the issue of the supply of the B618 routers?

I was put on the waiting list on first week on Jan and they said probably 2-3 weeks.

I went back to TM point on Fri and they said probably another month and their HQ didn't tell them when routers will be back in stock

In Georgetown, Penang if location is relevant.

The staff there will say anything to make u go away.

my location isn't in the map coverage

probably best speed & price compared with every telco

QUOTE(lele1989 @ Feb 9 2020, 02:20 AM)
I am interested in this package too.
The Sim only package will provide you with a sim card only?
Is the sim card working in mobile phone?

Can share how to check inside the Huawei B618 modem?  hmm.gif   I din see any Celcom wording inside the UI of the modem anywhere.  Only can see Unifi.

And the speed just bump up to 45-48mbps (from TM speedtest) since yesterday from average 20-25mbps before yesterday.  Dunno this speed bump will last or not.  sweat.gif

it's literally the first thing u see big font "Unifi(signal bar)" or "(Signalbar with 3G/4G/4G+ underneath) Unifi" then it's running under unifi tower not celcom

Might be he is luckily connected to TDD band 38/40 and his area got full bar. smile.gif

QUOTE(JLA @ Feb 18 2020, 10:34 AM)
TM clearly state Average[U] speed of 20Mbps
No sped capped. You may get below or over 20Mbps
*
This really depends on location.
Fact: closer the (band supported)tower faster lor

QUOTE(phaez @ Feb 19 2020, 10:56 AM)
DL and UL stated average 20mbps. However, UL speed is suck. now matter how good my signal is, with DL speed I can get up to 60mbps, but only manage to get 2mbps UL.
*
I got 8-9mbps UL but yeah I agree UL is bad and it throttles my DL when using max I upload a 2GB need 1-2hours and I can't browse anything even i have 60mbps DL

does the unifi air and unifi mobile share the same network? im currently on unifi mobile unlimited with my p30 pro and my area get average of 10mbps speed only even though signal is 5 bars, will the speed be better if i go for unifi air? or do i need to get the HUAWEI b618 to unlock better speed?
*
Yes same tower, unifi not going to build separate tower for 2 different plan that would be costly and not effective coz need but 2 land and 2 towers and 2 maintenance sweat.gif yes b618 does have better speed, but not necessary, too overpriced. just get a modem that support B38/B40 support 2CA 4G+ will be the kinda same speed as b618 +-5mbps

QUOTE(JLA @ Feb 23 2020, 08:42 AM)
yes same network but AIR have higher VIP priority than mobile unlimited.
*
What make u think that? but kinda true my unifi air rarely lag. I never use mobile unifi so I don't know
