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.

Lol did not mention I am paying for that

Log in to fix manually, or simplest way to manage is to use Hmanager apps on android. you can google the apk files. It is over the net.




regarding "dumb" post earlier, hope anyone else don't follow the dumbness and study all telco before posting.

You can apply but the risk is on you. I can say that Huawei B618 modem signal reception is better than mobile phone.

as for me, my location is further than you, towards the coverage area, somehow I still manage to get 2 bar signal with up to 27mbps (TM promised up to 25mbps).

Mine also get nat3. My network not suitable for gaming, packet loss and jitter. If I want to game, will hotspot from my maxis mobile.

it is subjective, depends on your game, either u use voice chat or not, streaming etc.

Basically, JASA pack and unifi air coverage is the same, the only difference is Band allocation. Jasa to utilize band 5. It is written somewhere in the T&C agreement when u sign up for it, I've seen it. However, if u have the capability to lock band signal (rooted phone or modem), you can do that. Unifi air utilize band 40.

During my application unifi air, TM staff did not check may location. She just ask whether I am aware of the coverage or not. 1st I said I want to try to get sim only and modem(contract) later, but she told me that I would have to sign up new account for that (with another RM100 deposit). Then I just straight to get 24m contract for the Huawei B618 instead.

u need to try do speedtest

after all, check back your needs. mine here 2 to 3 bar only, but speed can reach 30mbps ++. But, ping is a bit high and and not stable. not suitable for online gaming, even mobile gaming.

Theoretically it should. I believe all portable router signal reception more or less the same as mobile phone.

That constant 7mbps from which band?

if lock band 40 should be faster if it is available in your area.

Believe it will go faster with B618, at least for me. For you, the risk is all yours

So the best way is to sign up w/o contract but you will have to find your own router. 2nd market value now is RM600~700. And you can sell it back later if u move, with no coverage or hv fiber.

afraid no coverage in ur area. Unifi will rely on celcom for 3G network. So you'll need to force 4G only.

My area is outside blue area in the map, but I can get up to 60mbps download speed. Now I keep quiet about it so no one in my area subscribe unifi air to avoid congested

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.

Tried with nvidia shield tv pro, smooth in every aspect for every legal streaming platform with speed up to 40mbps in my area. Only recently illegal streaming services seems lag after 7pm onwards.

I've check it myself, it is unifi/tm problem
it was lag, but when I shift to my hotspot from phone (maxis and even Umobile GX38 6mbps), everything was running smooth, not even a single lag.

it is not always like that, I manage to get green green yellow but speed is 2mbps only. but after midnight to morning can get up to 140mbps. then I realized my area is congested. (umobile)

then I try unifi air, yellow yellow red only but manage to get 50mbps .

both using B618. umobile with pair of LPDA, but unifi did not since I feel contented with the speed already.
