Is it really router issue? Have you tried it at another location?

You should bring it to somewhere else to test, if the speed is ok meaning the tower near your place is the one having issue.

Ya, check your mobile data also since they should be connected to the same 5G tower.

Nice. The Huawei router does look like the older bro Huawei B618. RJ11 is useful for SIM cards with free unlimited calls. Now I'm interested in this router since the Zyxel router I have doesn't come with RJ11.

OK then it is really the ZTE issue. For sure Huawei CPEs are the best based on my experience from 4G.

Yes but not all prepaid no. can have 5G. So, probably only 4G speed.

I think I can only get 4G for my Digi prepaid. Just need to keep reminding to buy but luckily via app which is easy.

I think it is comparable in terms of speed and stability; they are using the same tower for my area. However, I noticed the only difference is UM doesn't cap speed for YouTube during peak hours, while XOX 1X-22 caps speed for YT, and the maximum I can watch is only 1080p. However, after past midnight, I can continue watching above 1080p until evening. I would say this is pretty annoying considering I watch a lot of YT videos at night. However, I'm only using an iPad, so I think I still can live with 1080p at certain hours, considering it is RM 72 (with SST) vs RM 22, the trade-off isn't that bad though I wish it never happened.

Oh ya, IG reels during those hours are not so smooth too... So... If you want to replace UM 5G with XOX, I guess better not since it is 1TB vs 100GB. For my case, it is just a spare broadband and only use it once a while, that's fine.

I'm using Zyxel NR5103E (v1), still using it with the 1X-22.

I was using YES Flexi 5G before switching to U Home 5G, using the same router I could say my experience with U Mobile was better. Faster download and upload speed, latency is also lower though YES is RM 10 cheaper.

If just to test test only, any device is OK but for long term usage, you definitely need a router. This is also for safety.

I'm using Zyxel NR5103E (v1), not modded.

Yes, I was recommended to try U Home 5G and I was very happy about it.

Yours is a MiFi which is for portability, of course smaller and it needs to be charged. Those big ones are CPEs.

Yes, that’s what I experienced too when I was using YES for 1 month. It will suddenly drop to 4G and became slower. Switched to U Home 5G and no more such problem.

After 24 months, should be considered it is our stuff already, why cannot unlock? No unlock code anymore like last time?

You can never compare fixed broadband with mobile broadband when it comes to stability.
Seeing you use TIME, means you are in a high rise most likely. Mobile broadband is not stable for high rise.

If landed, then should be OK. I was using it for WFH on landed earlier until I terminated it as it was underutilized because there is UniFi broadband installed.
