Sure is hahahaha. I still have the last original copy of MS DOS 6.22. Still wrap in original seal. Any takers?

Old cat 5 cables discarded already. No point keeping.

I have these to sell. Don't want to keep anymore. All still sealed. Will let go for a good price as collectibles items.

see...10k laptop, how to afford 😅 anything before 11g was for bangsawan. 😂

wow. 2.4kbps modem, i really never experienced before. couldn't imagine how slow it was.

dial up back then in school at least need to apply few lines baru cukup to support library multimedia room usage.

To the younger generation born after the internet. This was one of the apps we used to transfer files between different locations via telephone line using dial up modem. Imagine how long it takes to trasfer 1 Mb file with speed only 2.4kbps.

Keep this thread relevant, don't post unrelated stuff here.

ameyhazuan, write everything in a post and not split into multiple posts. Also, use multi-quote, link to it: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=faq&article=10

At least you know the suffer when using dial up. Phone line must not have interference. Crossline was common back then. Home dial up usually hooked to a phone. You almost finish download your file, somebody pick up the phone...damn sakit hati 😅

Noted. I'm sorry for the irrelevant post. Got carried away. I'm done anyway. Thank you for the kind reminder.

dah expect u got those outdated softwares, but didn't expect still in sealed condition. lol.

maybe u can try to sell kat ebay.

these stuff normally dah throw when clearing office store room.
personal store room don't have these bangsawan stuff.

keep 10 years = wasting space for 10 years

😂

Anyway, back to thread title.

Anybody using this new modem besides me?

sorry...too excited to see those nostalgic stuff that i couldn't afford last time 😂

thx for sharing 2.4kbps stuff 😂

my friend recently sign up uhome68 also dapat this huawei, speed looks decent to me. yours sinr really high.

Yeah, the new modem for new subscriber. I used HuaCtrl app and move the modem around the house to get the best signal.

As you said, easy to relocate the modem to the best location if use external wifi router. Just get ethernet cable to connect the two

for more challenging environment where one couldn't get satisfying signal, can study hk ppl setup.

external antenna option are less flexible, if using double shielded low loss coaxial cable like LMR-400, that will be thick to bend. if using single shielded thinner cable like RG-174, then will be suffering too much signal attenuation.

attenuation at 3500 MHz
LMR-100 = 1.58 dB/m. (0.48 dB/ft.)
LMR-200 = 0.67 dB/m. (0.21 dB/ft.)
LMR-400 = 0.27 dB/m. (0.081 db/ft.)

there are some outdoor 5G CPE available like ZTE MC7010, ZTE MC889, FiberHome LG6121D, Huawei CPE Win H312-371, etc.
it can be used as simple router mode (to connect to switch or access point) or ip pass through mode (to connect to router) and this option doesn't suffer analogue signal attenuation like external antenna. (*some users reported glitch in certain outdoor cpe model operating in ip pass through mode gets lower speed than operating in router mode.)

but too bad local sellers not interested to bring in those outdoor CPE. local market prefer plug n play, and most important criteria: cheaper better 😂

WARNING to all potential user.

If you need this thing to work remotely just give up. I tried and keep getting intermittent ping of a few SECONDS!

Hmm. No such issue here. I was using it with Cisco Connect and recently my company changed it to ZScaler also ok. No disconnection or whatsoever.

As an amateur radio license holder, part of my role is to build and study antenna at the same time try to understand how radio waves works.

I found it a joke that lots of people fall for parabolic antenna which has no certification, BS specs, willing to pay certain amount of money just to boost the signal. These people have no knowledge of the antenna specs, type of cable use and lengh of cable.

It's true what you said, good cable will have more copper on its core. The more thickness the copper, more harder to bend.

For my self. Build in antenna in the modem is sufficient enough without losing any more dbi.

Having an external antenna putting me at risk of lightning that may not only damaging my modem, will also damage my router and any computer connected via ethernet cable.

Investing on external antenna also not feasible to me as i already get good speed and good signal though it can be better.

That is quick a crazy setup for home wifi... hahahaha

Im gonna find if the branch I register my home broadband has this new router. Office celcom 5g just finish 2 years... time to reduce from RM149 to RM68.

certification might be too costly for low demand low volume consumer product.
yea, no way to verify the spec whether it's BS or not. consumer only can trial and error.

some people who have the need might not have the privillage to have relevant knowledge, so what they can do is just buy and try. if it works, then great; if not then resell it.

one thing i would like to highlight that, always share your own experience or knowledge, and answer other people's questions in online forum like here or reddit.

why online forum? it's friendly to search engine, local relevance and well archived.

why not other social media? unable get search result from closed group, tons of clickbaits, flooded with selling posts, less on-going/follow-up discussion, time-consuming for info gathering if it's in form of videos/reels, and most annoying their own search engine and content suggestion algorithm. fxck that sh*t.

in addition, malaysian punya review culture in e-commerce platforms: blank. irrelevant. bagus. mantap. fast/slow delivery. barang dah sampai belum try 5-star review.
so how could a layman consumer obtain relevant knowledge and experience from others.

once again, i hereby to urge forumers sekalian don't hesitate to share your constructive suggestions, user experience, device perchase price screenshots, telco plan subscription, tips and tricks for optimization, blah blah blah.
by doing so we could have new and updated info input from real users, accelerate the adoption of latest tech, more choices of device, bring the cost down, and eventually improve the user experience.

sharing is caring.

Having an external antenna is not feasible for many people too.
that's why i have been sharing some tips here to improve the speed.

it's straightforward and effective.
there are people using PoE ceiling mount industrial access point for better aesthetic.

I'm wondering incoming umobile 2nd 5G network could do 200MHz bandwidth or not with DNB.
current DNB dapat 100MHz (3400 to 3500 MHz), half of n78
umobile dapat 100MHz (3500 to 3600 MHz), another half of n78
https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/733606

If i'm not mistaken and please correct me if i'm wrong, Huawei H153-381 is using Balong 5000 modem which can do 200MHz Sub-6GHz.
so i doubt if umobile has already planned for 200MHz 5G network, by offering Huawei H153-381, haha.

while mmWave spectrum allocated i have no idea if there is any chance for telco to implement. i guess mmWave is for industrial private usage.


little info for Qualcomm 5G modem Sub-6GHz bandwidth:

5G "Phase One" (Release 15) Modems - Sub 6 GHz Bandwidth:
X50 - 100 MHz (no carrier aggregation) *phased out, nsa only, eg: nokia fastmile 1
X55 - 200 MHz (limited 2x 5G carrier aggregation) *can't CA TDD with FDD band, should be ok when both 100MHz are n78
X60 - 200 MHz (flexible 2x 5G carrier aggregation)

5G "Phase Two" (Release 16) Modems - Sub 6 GHz Bandwidth:
X65 - 300 MHz (flexible 3x 5G carrier aggregation)
X62 - 120 MHz (flexible 2x 5G carrier aggregation) *so the best u can do is 20MHz from n28 (if got this sa network la) + 100MHz from n78
X70 - 300 MHz (flexible 4x 5G carrier aggregation)

5G Advanced (Release 18) Modems - Sub 6 GHz Bandwidth:
X75 - 300 MHz (flexible 5x 5G carrier aggregation)
X72 - 200 MHz (flexible 3x 5G carrier aggregation)

for Mediatek,
m70 (the modem integrated in T750) - 200 MHz (flexible 2x 5G carrier aggregation)
m80 (the modem integrated in T830) - 300 MHz (flexible 4x 5G carrier aggregation)
