Do i understand correct in the first place? You are using the same sim card when put on the phone, you get ultra 5g, but on the tp link, you only get NSA? To me this doesn't make sense at all. Because since this is home 5g, you should be getting consistent connection, which is ultra 5g. Tp link you can't just set to 5g only, because for nsa to work it needs 4g for b28. And 5g for n78. With your tp link, either you upgrade the firmware or call um to ask them rectify for you.

No in my phone i am using a different umobile hp prepaid/postpaid sim, uhome5G sim i never used in my phone. So basically 2 different sim. Only on my phone it could connect to Ultra5G, but uhome5G in router die die won't connect.
Makes me think that umobile purposedly doing that on purpose.

you should call UM to verify this matter, does uhome sim support Ultra 5G? anyway, the fastest verification is to put your uhome5sim to your phone to test, if its get ultra5G, means your tplink is having problem wor !

Band 28 in Malaysia’s 2030–2035 Outlook
Timeframe | Role |

2025	Continues as 4G anchor band; DNB uses it for NSA 5G.
2027–2030	Gradual shift to 5G n28 in low-density regions.
2030–2035	Expected full 5G Standalone n28 deployment — seamless nationwide low-band 5G.

Anyone can compare YES vs Umobile Home 5G broadband? With the default stock router.

Looks like they have two new routers, how do these compare to the previous ones?

The previous model are a piece of crap, i have the previous model before these 2, at the same location where i put my TPLink NX510v, the max download i got with it is around 100mbps but with my Tplink i could get around 300mbps.. Waste of silicon..

I would say from the looks of the new routers, the 2nd unit could be an ZTE unit while the 1st one is probably Huawei origin? I could be wrong tho.
For semenanjung UM partners with Huawei for their network and ZTE for borneo, so i guess if your in semenanjung better take the 1st unit?
Both of them should be better than their old model i think..

take that H155, it's a huawei.

G5B is ZTE

Find out what chipset they use instead of worrying what brand it is

Can I subscribe the borneo plan but use in semenanjung?

No u cannot. They can detect it.

Will I be able to use U Postpaid Borneo 38/U Postpaid Borneo 68's Unlimited Data in Peninsular Malaysia?
You are unable to use U Postpaid Borneo 38/U Postpaid Borneo 68's Unlimited Data in Peninsular Malaysia.

However, you have an allocation of 10GB of High-speed Data monthly to be used when you are in Peninsular Malaysia.

Does U Home 5G have access to the ULTRA 5G network, and if so, does it have access to 5G SA and 5G Advanced (not sure which is the better mode)

On the landing page, it doesn't mention about ULTRA 5G coverage

https://www.u.com.my/en/personal/broadband/wireless

Yes, it can access ultra 5G

I thought umobile ultra 5G is 5G SA..never heard of 5G advance

I pulled the plug and received the router + SIM today.

These are my results from my PC via Wifi.

How to know if I am getting ULTRA5G, am on SA/NSA etc?

Existing - Time 200mbps



New - Umobile Uhome 5G

Interestingly, both the Uhome 5g and Maxis 5g sim gets around 150-200mbps on my phone, but when doing speedtest on my phone via Wifi using the same Uhome 5g sim placed in the Umobile router, the speed is consistently around 300mbps.

Is it because the router is able to absorb the signal more strongly?

Which stock router did you get?
If its the H153/155, can check the 4G and 5G lights on the router. If only 5G lights up means its on SA, both 4G/5G lights up means NSA.
If ZTE router need login admin panel.
Also not sure if UM activated SA mode for UHome subscribers yet.

Probably yes, same situation as mine.
