Because I can use Deco app to reboot my x50 remotely. But personally I like Zyxel's simplicity, the web UI is easy to understand / configure.

you should lock band 28,i'm also using B618, locked to band 28, i can get between 60-80 Mbps

Indeed, locked B28 speed average at 30-50mbps is environment factor for me. Because 4G+ can't reached that speed as well, this is main reason I still hesitate purchasing 5G modem.

hows changing to the Umobile broadband rm68 step went? did it finally manage to work?
because i have the same problem using the P38 on my nr5103e.....holding back from getting the broadband 68 after reading your post.

It worked for me. You have few choices now:

1. Maintain P38 but find a different 5G router that can bypass this.
2. Maintain P38 but use phone hotspot to continuously 5G.
3. Change to UHome 5G RM68 (< I did this and confirmed work)
4. Change to Yes Flexi RM58

Let me just tell you this.

The ISPs can also whitelist only a handful of allowed devices which they permit and ban all rogue devices which is not in their whitelist from connecting to their network.

In the case of their broadband plans, they'd only whitelist popular known modems IMEI in the market which are widely used to only gain access to their network and other rogue devices blocked to prevent usage of their home broadband 5G plans to be used in regular phones.

About Yes, they're actually the pioneer in implementing this restriction in Malaysia. 2 years ago they already did this with their RM35 Kasi Up 4G 100GB Postpaid plan meant only for phones.

I was once their victim suddenly my 4G modem speed became so slow that you could get 500kbps when all the while obtaining 10-15Mbps.
Called them up and they straight told me my device wasn't in their green list.

It was actually an illegal move because nothing was said in their contract that the quota restricted plan was supposed to be for phones only.
The move was controversial and arguable that since it's quota based(100GB) why did you restrict your users in placing it into any device they wanted as long as they do not bypass the volume quota?

One of the reason why I stay away from that telco. marketing dem hype, but in reality?

How is this compared to Fiber Broadband? I'm on Time 100mbps and thinking if I should jump over.

In my home, Maxis 5G signal on my phone seems to be consistently at >300mbps whenever I run a speedtest.

I'm considering swapping the mainline and supp line:

U98 - move it to MiFi
U38 Although it's supp line, it should be okay to use it as main line

Any advice on whether this will work?

Then use 5g modem but put extra fan on the modem.

check this, u mobile is blocking U98 used in modem

Need a modded 5G modem like Yeacomm.

Thank you. I should have bought a 5G phone and a Wifi hotspot... now I'm stuck with Home 5G with/ the ZTE MIFI.

Can anyone advise on this?
Using UHome 5G with NR5103e (three version), band locked to B28 N78.
Only getting 50Mbps average, previously can get 300Mbps.
Sometimes getting network disconnection randomly, already put the router to the side of window.

Somehow found out that i need to put exactly sticking to the window to get best reception.
However i think sunlight exposure will cause overheat issue and bad to the modem health.
Anyone has the same issue on this? Or buy external antenna for this issue?

Hi, currently staying in Rivercity Condo in Sentul area.

My rental does not provide Wifi so I plan to take this U Home 5G but still skeptical about it because i dont have a 5G router that can use SIM card.

1. Is U Home 5G good in Sentul area?

2. Any cheap 5G compatible Routers (that work with U Home 5G), preferably below RM200 (hard cap RM300) to recommend?


Need for casual gaming, Youtubing as well as partially working from home.

1. ultimately you will have to test yourself since it is highly location dependant, where your tower is, what obstacles are in the way
can buy prepaid sim to try
or since u home 5g has no contract can terminate easily

2. not possible to get 5g routers at that price, you can get 4g routers and they will work
but expect slower speeds, around 30Mbps or better depending on modem

1. I see, then I'll will do that.

2. That's unfortunate. Which 5G Router would you recommend I get that wouldn't break the bank. I could technically fork out up to RM1k if I were to think of this as future proofing my internet needs for at least 2 years in the future. Would just need to cut back on other expenses as a form of installment towards this router.

below RM800 budget
Telstra Arcadyan AW1000
GTENIQ iQ02X55

keyword : support external antenna, imei, lock band, active support

side note : ZTE F50 not support 5G, missing b28

4G network getting congested, 5G modem cpe getting cheaper over time

If u dont mind speed around 50mbps, just get band 28 modem like b315-607


5G modem price war

This nokia fastmile seems okay
