Luckily this CNY week my place still can get around 200mbps #touchwood

at dead of night able to get 40mbps, that's already surprisingly good considering my location
and it just gradually get worse as people starts to wake up...



the router even blip to 5G mode for like 3 seconds which totally surprised me, as my location isn't in coverage.
The signal likely just too weak to be constant linked with 5G, despite the bar shown full.
there is no "5G only" mode in the MC888S router unfortunately to force it.

if only there way to hook antenna to the router there might be chance of running 5G...

I aware Huawei router have 3rd party software/app to force modes;
but I don't aware any for ZTE

I'm back in hometown for CNY and as usual speed here is around 200Mbps and above 300Mbps during graveyard hours. So far, it is still the same here.

u need to find other router that can attach external antenna & force 5g connection. personally I'm using olax g5018 & very happy with the performance. I didn't attach external antenna yet even though it's supported, my house area the reception is quite good already.

if your area don't have 5G coverage, and your router can't locked into b28, basically you are running in b1+b3+b8 4G, this is even worse than using those cheap 4G router that can do b3+b7.

Has anyone updated MC888S to B09 firmware? I can't because it said no new version.
I think the update system doesn't recognize "CR_UMMYMC888SV1.O.0B07 (capital "O")" firmware.

Hi, anyone has any idea on below?

I got zte mc888s on a 24M contract sometime during jul 2024. At that time, i remember i did try putting the postpaid rm38 plan inside the modem and manage to get internet connection.

I got fibre soon and paid umobile penalty. I understand the modem is locked to umobile.

I manage to find buyer for the modem recently which request me to test connection using different umobile plan. I bought umobile prepaid off 7e which got free 1gb data and tested can be use on the modem.

However, the buyer tested using her sim (umobile 128) and it simply wont work. Modem recognise sim card number but no internet connection. Any idea?

The modem is only usable on uhome5G sim, i tested on my umobile 38, can't do shit too.
I guess umobile can detect sim for mobile or broadband i guess. Best of luck.

brother can share me the setting for NX200, those IPV6/IPV4 etc

appreciate a lot

It seems like UM is back to stable recently. Enjoying the cheap internet.

The same cannot be said for my almost expiring Celcom 5G and I plan to terminate it when the contract expires next month. Celcom is getting from bad to worse at my workplace. Not worth the RM149 I'm paying for the connection.

yes you can set external. i done mine but i'm just using another internal antenna not much different. might get better signal with proper external antenna.

Last week their connection was kinda bad, kept getting high pings during gaming session that just not usable.
Now seems ok, hopefully will keep going on like this
