Arrived a few days ago, so far speed decent


RM520N-GL, SD X62 modem on U Home 5G, no mods, stock firmware, stock hardware.

Supportd Debian/OpenWRT/Android
Mainly is running a heavily modified OpenWRT image with custom front-end.

For 1.4k, it's probably one of the decent options that isn't locked down, runs a bit hot but that's expected since it has a full metal housing except the front which is plastic for signal reception.

Will post a few more screenshots after, but so far I like it.

How gaming with band 28? Im using yes flexi and lag when gaming. Need to change to band 40 but it will eat my lte data quota

Read somewhere that gaming on YES the ping is baddd.. I been using U Home 5G for a few months playing games like Diablo 4 and Genshin, so far ok..

Same band with yes? B28 N78?

Umobile should be using the same band B28/N78, DNB lo

Hi guys, I’m planing to sign up u home 5g but it’s no provide any router. Can recommend any router that cost between rm200 or max rm300? Coz I just planing to use 1 year, didn’t wish to spend too much money on the router.

For that budget you will NOT be getting a 5G router
So, you'll have to go with a 4G Router which unlike Yes, U Mobile does allow you to use with 4G so no problem there

Personally I'll go with something from a reputable brand like TP-Link or D-Link and avoid those turbo gt900+++ ones that are kinda sketchy
And maybe also consider Tenda and Mercusys

For that price range, you'll be getting a basic 4g router without any of the fancy features like aggregation for faster speeds
So, realistically, expect roughly 30Mbps as what you will get

with this budget you are looking for 4G modem with manual lock band 28
6) Band 28 hanya ada di kawasan liputan 5G
Modem yang support Band 28 (Huawei List Sahaja)

5) Huawei B315s-607

Silly question. It says Home but I can bring my router elsewhere to use as well?

Of course, it has no idea where "home" is

I found out tplink TL-MR105. It’s suitable for me to use it?

Will it work? Yes
Will it provide High speeds? No

Expect roughly 30Mbps or worse with it

it’s not location locked like celcom

Is there any reliable 5G pocket Wifi router that can use for U Home 5G?

you can use whatever make model
the keyword is manual lock band 28

Wow.. Ur 4G dload speed is quite good, when i was on Tplink MR200 try as i may it only max out at 30ish mbps dload only. But still ur upload speed is

Looks like a new plan is coming

+RM40 for Sooka bundled in

https://www.u.com.my/en/personal/broadband/u-home-5g-sooka

Difference with subscribing sooka VIP direct with Astro is that paying Rm49.90 get u 3 device (including 1 tv), bundle deal with U Home 5G u only get 2 device (including 1 TV)

For those using this Home 5G plan, are you able to host a webserver, and is it double NAT?

It's basically LTE/5G, not fibre where you'll get a "private" public IP
