No, can use anywhere. I put in my phone as well initially to test the speed on 4G and 5G. But now put at home in modem.

I used my modem to lock on band28 because other band very slow and congested in my place.

Can recommend which is rm600? I find in lazada a lot sub rm200 router which i dont trust, probably the 5G is the wireless standard

Yes that one broadband not speed locked 120Mbps?

No lock

if 2 device heavy use of tv box and netflix, advisable ka? FUP 33gb a day ka?

Many rm200 at shopee at lazada mention support 5G is fake.. so misleading.. dont buy it or you will regret later.. the cheapest and decent one i recommended is Four Faith / Yeacomm that around rm950~1000. can get up to 1Gbps if the signal strong enough in your area.. mine always at 500~600mbps at 3 bar signal..

Its just a calculation.. not really capped at 33GB per day.. use as much as you like as long as not exceed 1TB in 1 month.. for tv box not a problem if connection in your place not just fast but stable.. for 4K streaming, adviseable speed around 50mbps..

wondering if speed no limit then why Yes always mention their wireless broadband speed is 120Mbps...

Tq. Will definitely look into those modem. Currently using my hp to hotspot as my unifi modem is locked

Anyone using these expensive U-Mobile recommended 5G modems?

i’m using mc801. so far, much better than my iphone 13 pro. on celcom mega lightning 188. this modem get 5g signal where my ip13pro cant connect to 5g. comparison side by side

I see a "Y510" one which seems to be around rm600 and has 5G
But using Unisoc chip

The rm200 ones are fake
Friend of mine has one
It doesn't even do 5Ghz wifi, so there's no reason for "5G" to be on there

If you on a tight budget then you can consider much cheaper modem like Unicom VN007+ or Quantum H188.. price range from rm600~800.. but the speed can’t go up to 1Gbps.. mostly around 400~500mbps max..

Maybe not with DNB's Ericsson equipment but once the 2nd 5G network starts using Huawei equipment, these China chipsets might gain the upperhand with compatibility in future.

I am thinking about replacing unifi 100mbps to Umobile 5g , since high chance to have higher speed for less.

1. I tested the line on iPhone , seem 5g only work outdoor / open window. Do you all place the modem indoor or using outdoor external antenna ?

2. Seem my housing area have max speed around 300+mbps , but at some area (near kl) I manage to get 1gbps, so 5g is cell tower speed dependent on max speed ?

I tried with my Samsung A53 with Yes 5G, speed test from the phone around 500-700Mbps, when share using USB tethering speed become 300-400Mbps around due to USB 2.0 speed limitation.

I placed my phone in my upper living room, 5G signal strength depends the distance between your home to the DNB tower..

Anywhere to rent a 5G modem for 2 weeks?

One more question on this U Home 5G, does it provide public IP or private IP?

Almost all mobile network provides only private IP/NAT to consumers.

Unless they have special arrangement such as a fixed wireless broadband solution,

im using U Home 5G MIFI & MODEM


ZTE MU5001 (MIFI)


Netgear Nighthawk M5 (MIFI)


Yeacomm NR33 (MODEM)


Huawei H138-380 5G CPE PRO 3 (MODEM)


but speedtest iphone & samsung s23 ultra got 1.0-1.2 Gbps compare to MIFI/MODEM 600-800mbps only ; Speedtest by Ookla & Fast.com
test using wifi not LAN
