Probably limited by 2.4ghz wifi limit... Unfortunately most mifi only has 2.4ghz

Huh? This model has 5GHz. MiFi with dual bands already common since years ago.

Not just big, it has built in fan. After a while earlier this year they finally stopped selling it because it was very sought after in the market. In UK, the NR5103E v1(big sized version) good condition unit can be resold for almost 300-400 pounds. 3 UK after that also took it down and reintroduced a cut costing Zyxel NR5103E v2 which is smaller in sized, has only 2 antenna ports and only comes with Gigabit ports unlike the v1 which has 2.5Gbps ports.

DNB infra is showing its age already. It is now showing difficulty keeping up with upload speeds especially during peak hours. It does not only affect Yes but also Umobile and CelcomDiGi 5G. During peak hours I could get below 10Mbps upload speeds despite achieving over 50Mbps during offpeak hours.

Oh, I didn’t know it has a built-in fan, no wonder it’s so big. laugh.gif

My speed is still consistently 500Mbps and above regardless if it’s peak hours but I use it in Seremban and not Klang Valley. I do agree our current routers are sufficient for now.

Moral of the story, buy your own router and just subscribe to the contract-less plan. At this point, I'm thinking the provided routers have some flaws.

After using 5G, I cannot see 4G the same way anymore.

I think there is no issue with U Mobile 5G, it is the router that given by them is problematic.

I'm using my own Zyxel router and has no issues with 5G anywhere I go, it is high speed all the time. No random disconnections etc.

Yeah, not the network issue. It's the modem. I've replaced more than 5 times. The last modem lasted me almost 2 months before it started to disconnect and random reboot.

They should change the ZTE modem to others.

Never take Kaon, useless. Low signal reception.

That's right. Saying our country sucks in managing 5G network is not a fair statement though at some points, we suck. laugh.gif
In this case, it is the router issue and not the network.

I think someone needs to put a warning or something here to warn others not to sign up the router bundled package. laugh.gif

Hi, what do u guys think about the free 5g router come with 2 year subscription? I tested the speed for the router is only 50-60mbps, while my 5g phone hotpot can reach 100++ maps. Is that something wrong with my umobile 5g router?

Or u guys change to use another brand of router? If so, what brand do u recommend ya?

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Do not take the bundled router package. The ZTE router sucks and a lot of them are complaining here. Take the standalone package and buy your own router.
Check back some previous posts to see what others are using, I’m using Zyxel router and it works well for me.

Oh means don't sign for 2 years contracts? Only buy the simcard and buy our own another Zyxel router?
*
Yes, buy the SIM card plan only and get your own router. It doesn’t matter which router you’re buying, that ZTE will face a lot of restart. Again, your speed isn’t great maybe the place you put your router is not good enough.

Yes. Random restart. You can read back some previous posts.

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
*
Well, lucky for your neighbors but I haven't seen anyone using it on this thread can say the same.

I have fiber and 5G at home; fiber wins in terms of better latency—>5ms vs. 15ms. Speed-wise, it is as fast as fiber—500Mpbs. However, there are times when some of my Apple apps are slow when I update them, so I switch to fiber, and it works as intended. I guess it can be solved with a VPN. It's not a usual occurrence, so it is okay.

i agree with you that fiber is wins alot batter then 5g

5G suitable outdoor mobile usage only and if outside anywhere can use 5g with laptop hotspot for outdoor open place

Win a lot? No la. I think it is just slightly better. If living on landed, 5G can have another option but not high rise.
For my own high rise house, I use fiber only.

I have both types of connection at this landed house, I'm happy with both. 5G is fast enough.

Hello. My relative is now on uhome 5g with free router with contract already one year and now slowly getting so much worse until now barely usable. Even sometimes in the night got no internet at all.

Still got 1 year contract left. Was thinking, is it possible to switch to umobile fibre broadband without paying penalty fee?

Also does the fibre support landline?
*
Probably it’s the router issue, I also have U Home 5G and never had issue with the connection, I bought my own router. Always fast speed. The bundled router is problematic based on the feedback here.

I see I see, actually my uncle was the one who set this 5g thing up. He’s sadly passed away, don’t think they can afford to spend much on a new 5g router now.

Would much better they be on the 79 for 100mbps by umobile itself

Is there a clause in the contract for minimum service? Or is it the government set 1mbps?
*
Better report to U Mobile is the speed is not good or maybe the settings are wrong.

wanna share 1 trick for u guys to locate best spot to place your 5G modem router.

take a samsung 5G phone and dial *#0011#

then select your 5G sim (sim1 / sim2)

then place your phone on the spot you want to put the 5G modem router.

check and see which spot has the best RSRP signal. (-80 is stronger than -90)

normally the corner of the wall near window has better signal.
*
Thanks for the tips! I will check the spot when I go back to my hometown. thumbup.gif
