Zyxel got lemon unit No 5G
Nokia Fastmile support single band 5G only,
GTENIQ very popular on you tube and facebook

Since the nearest 5G tower is 4km so my checklist is
- detachable antenna. Buy sma male female LMR300 something. Then connect detacable antenna
- Antenna port. low loss cable and good 5G antenna not cheap
- full 5G SA NSA band n1 3 7 20 28 40 so DNB-2 ready
- Lock band or disable unwanted 4G band
- Support, price. imei ttl .

Just got the UM68 plan with router. I took the ZTE C888S router.

However the speed I'm getting is only about 50mbps. This is after I connect to 5GHz wifi. If connect to 2.4GHz I will only get 25mbps.

I check from cellmapper, there are 2 towers start with 703 within 500m to my house. There are no building in between, the first tower is on private hospital and the second tower is on indoor swimming pool. I'm on fifth floor and my building is the tallest. No other building blocking the path.

What else can i do? I don't expect to get 300mbps but I read 5G DNB should be minimum 100mbps.

I tried locking 4G band 28, but no difference. In fact download suffers and drop to 20mbps.

Appreciate any pointers.

I got a silly question, is the 5G router placed in an area that is hot (no AC) or confined space?

I ask because both my TPLink nx510v and x50-5G will have such issue when it is in a very hot area. High humidity and right behind the wall facing west sun. Basically it is overheating. The manual says operating temp is up to 40C… given the weather these days and the heat generated by the router itself I am pretty sure it is beyond 40C already.

Solution is just buy a 120mm fan plugged into USB charger and put the router on it.
*
x50-5G have external antenna port
so the solutions is modem - low loss coax - external antenna facing the hot evening sun

uhome rm68 24m contract with the supplied router

monthly cost: rm72 (with +6%) + rm25 = rm97 only.

i just need about 100mbps connection only. mostly just to watch Netflix & prime video.

Just returned home from work cum dinner. Noticed that the router led turned green which indicate 4G network (even though I already set 5G NSA only). Login to my router showed it's still connected to 5G. I guess UM doing some hanky panky between 5g/4g switching. Speed is really slow now... 15Mbps.

Hi. Need help. I’m currently using ZTE MU5120 with U Home 5G without any issue.

Yesterday bought a U Mobile prepaid sim and subscribed to the unlimited plan with unlimited hotpot. But when I put the sim inside the modem, it can’t connect. Does it mean for prepaid sim cannot use with modem? Only U Home 5G plan can?

However during activation and use the free 1GB data, it works (to try). After quota finished, and I subscribed to the unlimited plan, it doesn’t work anymore.

Please help.

With phone all good, put inside a few modem just show no sim card, or invalid sim card
The solutions is hotspot tethering with phone + RM5 unlimited hotspot

I see,  I'm fed up with the ZTE MC888s. I signed up two weeks ago with a contract, and the speed is barely above 10 Mbps—ridiculous! I’ve complained to customer service, and they’re replacing the router, but I requested a different model. Instead of fixing the issue, they closed the first case without properly reading my complaint! I raised another case ticket and scolded the CS kaw kaw haha

Done all that even before you suggested. Can work in phone.. They probably detected this is hotspot modded modem or something.

Or they follow Umobile, when put prepaid sim in modem immediately disable from working. But I don't think that's the case. because when I put it in my old non-modded 4G modem , it can use the 4G data with hotspot running of course. This Yes only give 12gb hotspot, so this is just a temp solution until I figure out what is happening .

the restart issue..well my personal view is I think not all UM issued ZTE router has the same restart problem. Two of my neighbours using the ZTE router from UM both more than 11 months now and so far based on their feedback I can confirm they have not suffered any restart problems..only thing is once in a while router will switch to 4G for 30-45 mins before switching back to 5G

feedback from this forum and facebook modem groups meaning the bundle "free" modem have some issue.
some have to buy another 5G modem and happy problem solve


UM + free modem RM79
yes + free modem RM99
celcomdigi + free modem RM149 - Rebate*
so what the catch

I get the router since I had sign with celcom5g for office and it worked great. Hence I decided to get the UM router since I  have decided to save the money by going 5g than unifi. If router sucks, I just buy one. Either way I'm all into 5g... I'm not going back to fiber unless 300mbps below 100.

Still its best to trial before committing. I grab my celcom5g from office and trial over the weekend. It was great hence it gave me confidence to go all in since 5g towers are shared.

Hi,

Using this at Puchong area. The speed is less than 10mbps.

Lodged complaint with Umobile, they are asking me to do many test. Example, putting in sim card to phone, and test in multiple location.

The speedtest shows the same result with their router and Deco X50-5g. Is there anyone here encountered this before?

Huawei's HiSilicon is by far the largest chip company in China, rapidly climbing the world rankings. So it's no surprise they are alongside Qualcomm as the first two to volume production of 5G chips

i don't do volume at all...samsung has the volume too but u just don't see many manufacturers use them because they're basically garbage
it's actually how it's manufacturer that determine how good is it
if the huawei chip is really that good, other routers would've used them....why bother with qualcomm and/or mediatek if it's really that superior

i think only real life test can determine how good they are in pulling 5G signals...but i can't deny their 4G router counterpart is called the king of 4G for a reason
