I just got the Kaon modem yesterday, plug in the U-Mobile SIM, turn on the power, and nothing happened.

Connected to the modem page and it says SIM not detected, which is strange, because I can use that SIM on my phone and hotspot.

Any advise?

Just a simple login page, login with password and I'm in
I didn't get pass the SIM not detected page, although I can, but I'm looking for advise regarding this issue.

Btw, how the web interface looks like will probably won't affect your purchasing decision. It's all similar.

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.

The best part is the upload speed is ten time than download speed.

Ah... no ideal, it came default. Turn it off also no improve performance.

Here is it.

By the way, Kaon cannot disable WIFI.

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.

Using Arc...1000. Can unlimited hotspot FT5G, 25/-. Getting about 400mbps at my place. Problem with YES sim and this router is it get disconnected without internet now and then .Have to press the reboot button.

On one of the months, I reached almost 1tb usage. YES can also do torr..nting.

Is there any speed cap or FUP on this U HOME 68 plan?
I just got one last night and can't seem to get any good speed. Even my own phone 5G can get better speed.

They gave me the MC888S

Ah I should have asked for MC801A then, I saw at the shop there are 2 model on display one is the round one and one is the square one. The girl simpel take the nearer one instead.

Is there a prepaid version of U home? Whats the band number,I wan to try using it on my modified B310 modem to test.

My Umobile bundled modem/router disconnects on me, everyday a few times. I suspect the router rebooted. It is a MC888S.

Apart from that, I am okay with its reception, I am getting 5 bar in signal, even tough it is not as fast as my phone. It is only around 200-300 Mbps. But usable.

Regarding the disconnection, you think a complaint to Umobile will work to resolve this issue ?

Yeah, it didnt help. I kinda suspect it wont help but tried it anyway since I had a few Tenda AC18 which had the 2A adapter.

Why? Because nowadays a lot of peripherals has a chip that control the voltage input that eventually it will just draw whatever power it needed and thats it. Oversizing the adapter power just put less strain on the adapter itself and had nothing to do with the peripherals.

I tested with a 12V 5A power supply which I bought for this purpose.

One day when the plane flied over, the router rebooted. Maybe just coincidence. LOL.

Randomly there were other times.

Need a recommendation for a 5G router that is the most bang for the buck. appreciate all and any recommendations please. Thanks in advance
