every video seem to only show how portable and the speed it can get
nobody dare to show how long the battery can last

even the ZTE umobile gave, it does get warm...so can't imagine the portable version and it's battery life

Put a fan below 😂
If using phone as tethering then will be hot as fire.
Battery life? If rarely go out no problem.
Unlike traveling highway more often.
Most 5G routers will get hot. I think la.

anyone subscribe new U home 5G with free modem? how the 2 modem?

But I not aiming for battery one, just want use at home.
I was thinking about 5018 and aw1000 but end up ordering aw1000 because 1. It’s cheaper and 2. It’s open wrt I can make a lot of changes since it’s Linux

got it yesterday from Berjaya Times Square - existing U5G Home subscribers just sign 2 years and take the ZTE Modem.

trying now - what they say is true, this router kuat tarik signal, my office usually very low 5G 1/2 bar and switch to 4G.

this ZTE modem can tarik 5G constant at 2/3 bar so far .... band can be locked - but SIM only for U Mobile.

2 years contract without any extra payment - so why not for me.

Mine is in reverse
My phone can do full bar while the router can only do 3 bars

Kaon or ZTE 888s?
Both can lock band?

i got the ZTE...i think for now, they're giving everybody ZTE

lock band i think can but i've never tried
but it is telco lock and cannot change DNS due to that

Aw cant change DNS? that kinda sucks

I wonder if there is any hidden higher tier admin account not revealed to public yet, most ISPs love to have a higher tier account meant for technicians

u can't change the DNS because u can't change the APN
but that doesn't mean anything, just do the DNS at all your devices...it's the same

just that it's extra work need to go device by device instead of setting once at router

What exactly Download/Upload speed your getting with ZTE 888s

depends on how much signal are you getting...same concept with your phone
buy a prepaid sim and activate a plan inside...maybe a weekly plan and what sort of speed your area can get

from U Home 5G, now they have U Biz 5G....which is exactly the same thing at the exact same price

i wonder what's the difference?

Probably for users with business/enterprise account

Hi. Got zte modem for my uhome 5g plan. I connect my modem to ax73 router for better wifi coverage. Question is, can i disable wifi from zte modem? Cannot find any setting to do so

i think not
u can't even control 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz individually like a normal router

Anyone tested speed/coverage difference between phone and router they provide?

I just went umobile times square this morning, say no 7 day change of mind period. If bad line at home means have to suck it up for 24 months contract. Other telcos also have this 7 day period.

For 15-20 simcard with data, which plan the best to subscribe ? Usage 50GB per sim card per month.

buy a prepaid sim card at 7-11....load RM10 into it
buy the weekly plan and test it extensively to every place that u usually go and usuall would need to utilize the internet and see how the line goes

their coverage map on their website might not be 100% accurate and some area like mine 4G is almost unusable

speed wise, it really depends on what kind of chipset you have on your phone
my phone is using a snapdragon 778+ 5G and it's pulling strong signal and speed than the router...some here is terbalik

I did for my ZTE MC8020. Just link ASUS as main wireless router while switching off 2.4GHz/5GHz radio on the ZTE. Of course since the 5G modem gets hot (not like super hot lah), just put cheap USB fan too cool it down lorh. I set the modem to reboot on daily basis.

But ya, Double-NAT'ng... cant be helped. Atleast solutions like Tailscale and Zerotier are there, also VPN included.
