I just stream nowadays
But the last time I torrent...it can reach full speed but this depends on many factors

The thing is I seldom torrent. Maybe once in a few months for a file or 2...
But the problem with this umobile is it's ZERO connections. If it's like throttled speed I still can accept. But it's totally zero. Sigh...

Is there any browser type of torrent client or plug in ? Opera browser itselt contains free VPN so we can do it.

instead of trying or subscribing to VPN that's still 1 of the factor that can affect the speed
i suggest anybody that wants a complete solution directly subscribe to something call seedbox and take advantage of the insane whatever download speed you have

You can try using Cloudflare WARP. The free one should be enough. https://1.1.1.1/

free VPN aren't recommended to be used for torrenting
1. you're using their server speed...in short, you're sharing it with everybody else
2. their warp server is located at SG which banned torrenting so whoever use it better becareful
3. these free VPN are to bypass restriction only

Anyone know how to lock tower for the 3EE modem?

I'm using deco x50 5g which is setup to be used with my previous deco m9 mesh.
working perfectly fine.
next I'll be trying to use another 5g modem and plug it via ethernet to my x60 already setup with 3 nodes.

Thanks for the information. Does it require to connect the first master mesh router with the 5g modem router using eth cable? Or it can be done wirelessly?

I'm using the 5g modem router MC888S from umobile. I notice that whenever the modem router startup, it will boot twice when I startup the modem. That's mean after each successful start (wifi and 5g), it will reboot and start again for second time.

Does this happen to your umobile 5g modem as well?

5g sim goes into the deco 5g, that will be your main deco, then can connect to other decos wirelessly or wired depending on how you plan to set them up.

Hi, I just got my ZTE MC888S and u mobile 5g sim. Started using it, plug and play very easy.

Anyone here could guide me how to lock tower for this modem? thanks ya

can lock band only

May I know how to do ya? I went to 5G setting, disconnected the connection and yet i can only change from Automatic to Manual, but there is no other setting shown after I switch to Manual.

The ZTE MCS888s non SIM locked generic 5G modem is now going for RM692 on Lazada/Shopee.

But I suggest you buy the ZLT X28 instead which is much cheaper, uses the same UNISOC Makalu IVY510 chipset with features where you can do band lock and cell base station locking.

Advance setting > developer options

Thanks 🙏

I checked boxes band 28 for 4g,
band 28 and 78 for 5g.

So far speed has been great.

However, I noticed that I was unable to connect to the router / suddenly disconnected from the router occasionally everyday.

The same issue happened on all my devices that were connected to the same wifi/router. Reconnecting was not successful, until I restart the router then only my devices were able to detect and connect to the router.

Anyone experience this before and what's the solution available? Thanks

Is anyone using this with the bundled router? How stable is it, assuming your location have good 5G signal?

I stay beside a 5G signal tower (about 100m distance).
Signal strength is strong and speed is good but I kept disconnected from the router, the frequency of dc is quite random.

Sometimes 2-3 times in 30 minutes, sometimes no dc in few hours.

Not sure why, hopefully is my setting problem so that I can adjust it, otherwise I also dont know what to do.

I just change my setting as follows:-

Connection settings:
1. Connection mode: Automatic

2. Network selection: 5G NSA

3. APN: unchanged


Advanced setting > Options > Developer options:
1. Band selection:
4G: checked Band 28 only

2. NR5G Band Lock: checked Band 28 & Band 78.

3. 5G Cell lock: nothing was filled in the blank

===================================================

Before I change the Network selection to 5G NSA, I was using 5G/4G (the default setting), NR5G band lock I checked Band 28 and Band 78 both, internet speed could go up to 620Mbps.

After that I change to 5G NSA, NR5G band lock I checked only Band 28, internet speed only go up to 70Mbps. (several tests done via fast.com)

Not sure if the NR5G band lock of band 78 makes the speed difference and also change to 5G NSA only could reduce the disconnecting issue.

Anyone has any thoughts on my setting? Or mind to share your setting because mine might got mistake that I don't know lol. Just got the router for 2 days.
What I am looking for is a stable internet connection with speed maybe up to 200Mbps, as long as don't dc so frequent.
