Telco Y has also recently upgraded their modem offerings with the Infinite Gateway Pro 5G router.

About its actual model, the only 3rd party 5G model router out there with Snapdragon SDX55 chipset and dual 2.5Gbps Ethernet port is Zyxel.

It's impossible to find it anymore on online platforms such as Shopee and Lazada. All sold out and a few handful of hoarders have since hike the price over RM800.

Price announcement in early March. 2 options.

Hmm so the 1st "cylindrical" design one is from Kaon Broadband
and the 2nd square one is from ZTE

not much info out there about the Kaon one, Kaon's own website doesnt have a list of products for 5g devices

The ZTE MC888S seems to be using a Unisoc chip according to
https://www.4gltemall.com/zte-mc888s.html

UNISOC UDX710 5G Modem
and
Qualcomm QCA8337 which some sites say its a "ethernet switch"

Subscribed to uhome $68. Using an old 4g mifi and the speed is so so. Looking to buy a 5g router but waiting for sales.

The umobile person did mention will have the 5g routers available but no date given.

Meantime another option, get a cheap Huawei B310 as max is 150Mbps in specs.

what are your download and upload speeds?

They are 15Mbps and 26Mbps on 4G mifi at my office. For testing purpose only. Haven’t tested at the place I’m actually setting up the broadband. Anyway, got a month to try it out and only meant for lite use.

My mifi can max 300Mbps in specs. Will stick with it as backup.

the specs mentioned 5G SA, but does the local telco support it, or just NSA.

Kaon one is sure more cheaper one looking from just "AX1500" class and 2 ethernet


ZTE MC888s comes with "AX5400" class wireless and 4 ethernet

The Unisoc UDX710 is the 5G radio modem chipset is TSMC 12nm based while the Mediatek T750 is newer 7nm based.

It is at least a generation behind both Mediatek and Snapdragon based ones.

March already. No details ka u home bundle with 5G router?

Hi guys, is zte mc8020 good? any recommendations? Also, i might not be sble to utilise the 5G as theres only 4G coverage at my housing area

For that price might as well get cheaper Tplink deco X50 or NV510x i think, only difference i think is AX3000 instead of AX5400 iianm..

how much is tplink deco x50 or nv510x?

Around RM900++ to Rm1k+.. Depends on sale, i bought my NX510v for around RM960 last time..

I saw some reviews regarding huawei cpe pro2. Is this better than deco x50?

I read somewhere got people said try to avoid caina 5G modems because most of them are using caina chips that are not so compatible with Msia 5G network.
Better get those with qualcomm chips for best compatibility

The recent new modems that are being launched by both UMobile and Yes will be using Unisoc IVY510 chipset.

As usual for most telco, cheapest router > good router.. lol..

Hi, my phone always show 4g or 4g+ at my area. May i know how to test 5G coverage? interested U home 5g
