I do change to Yes with device (24 mo contract) (and I am somehow ready to poorer in building coverage) - mainly because of 5G which the coverage is equal and Rahmah device offer but still maintaining some backup with Maxis and Unifi Mobile (call forwarding is activated whenever I go to buildings/malls to Maxis or Unifi in case some do contact me - there seems to be no charge on call forwarding).

mmWave is not widely supported (except US, Japan) and the coverage is really poor in areas where it is implemented. I read an article where more than 40000 mmwave sites are needed to cover just 95% of New York City! It is N77 development that really raise the internet speeds across USA. Prior to that, US used mmWave and low band 5G - which meant that many can't enjoy the true 5G speeds! Low band 5G only provide slight improvement to 4G as it has to be shared with 4G LTE bands.

Flagship Samsung phones sold in Korea doesn't really have mmwave support! This is also applicable to iPhones, which all models (except those sold in US) doesn't support mmwave. So this kinda explains why the telcos dosent want to develop 5G mmWave.

Even if Malaysia do ended up developing mmWave - we would only see developments in high density areas such as malls, stadiums and high traffic areas. More than 99% of 5G coverage area will remain Mid band 5G or low band 5G.

Any recommended 5G routers to be used with YES 5G Flexi? Preferable, it can be used for other telcos too. I'm thinking to subscribe one for my hometown and when I'm on the move. If can suggest that can buy from Taobao also ok.

is there any certain network band to lock for 5G?

i cant tahan cheap modem. its kinda hard to grab yes 5G and keep 5G service. i use samsung fold 4 as modem.

I thought Yes 5G Flexi is a broadband plan and can only be used with routers?

may consider the following modems:
(1) Tplink x50 5G
(2) ZTE MC 8010 or 8020
(3) ZTE MC 888

if you need a mifi unit, can consider ZTE 5002 or 5120. Netgear one is pricey.
Hope that will help you. Thanks.

Nope. Flexi plan got no limit to device

Thanks! Let me read into these options. I found on Shopee Zyxel 5G routers too and I heard they are not bad.

Cool, learnt something new.

Same location, 6 months apart 😢. It’s been like this for a week, speed only goes back to normal after midnight

Minimum 100mbps?

for me its more like N78 dead when you tested in 3PM
Can report to U Mobile and ask them escalate report to DNB I guess?

i'm using the Zyxel on Yes 5G flexi so far speed is ok but its wifi not as good as my old TPlink router

Thanks for the feedback. WiFi is important.

Zyxel NR5103E equipped with With WiFi 6 AX1800
Tp-Link Deco X50-5G, AX3000

I have both devices

i also using Deco X50..... is Deco model only compatible with Deco mesh device? can pair with other brand? i try to connect it to Asus mesh router seems not workable.

Deco Mesh is technology only used in TP-Link Deco products for Mesh networking.

In my case, i use Deco X50-5G as main, connected to 3 units of Deco M5.

u can always turn off zyxel wifi and connect to other stronger wifi router bro

Even connecting the deco x50 with asus system through LAN also cannot get them working? Deco x50 can be used to connect wirelessly with other deco mesh unit.

can connect to M3 or M4?
