General
U Home 5G plan (“Plan”) is available as a stand-alone internet access service (“Service”). You must comply with the Terms of Service of our Postpaid Service, our Privacy Notice and these additional terms and conditions, (collectively, the “Terms”) all which are available on www.u.com.my.

In the event of any conflicts or inconsistencies between these terms and conditions and the Terms of Service of our Postpaid Service, these terms shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistencies.

We may revise the Terms, the Service or our pricing without any liability. We may provide reasonable advance notice of such changes. You are advised to regularly check the Terms on our website. Your continued usage of the Service signifies your acceptance of the changes to these terms, the Service or our pricing. If you do not agree to any of the changes, you must immediately terminate your subscription to the Service.

Service Description:

The Plan is a data service only (with base data of 1000GB) (“FUP Limit”) which provides access to the Internet and related services. The Service is subject to 4G and 5G network availability and your own device capability. The Service is only available at selected coverage areas. You can check if your area is within the Service coverage area by visiting u.com.my/.

The Plan is only applicable for domestic usage and will not be available when you are roaming overseas. Data consumption is counted in MB increments. Non-data use (voice, SMS/MMS, video calls, content subscription services, roaming and international call services) is not available in your Plan.

The Plan is applicable for hotspot and non-hotspot usage.

The Plan is subject to our Fair Usage Policy (“FUP”) as defined in the Terms of Service of our Postpaid Service. Upon reaching the FUP Limit, the speed will be reduced to 512kbps. There is no quota limit for browsing on reduced speed.

Eligibility

To be an account holder you must be at least 18 years old.

We are not responsible for any Internet content that may be obtained via the Plan. You must ensure that the software you used with the Plan is properly licensed. You must not resell, share, or otherwise distribute the Plan to a third party.

You are allowed to perform Change Rate Plan (CRP) from your existing Wireless Broadband (WBB48,68,88 or 128) plans to the Plan provided that you do not have any ongoing Wireless Broadband plans’ contract with U Mobile. Any unused data allowance or benefit from your existing Wireless Broadband data plan will be forfeited. You must accept the terms and conditions of the new data plan.

You are not entitled to perform the CRP from the Plan to other U Mobile products including prepaid and postpaid.

You are not eligible for the Plan if you have any outstanding payments with us.

Deposit and Upfront Advance Fee

For non-Malaysians, a RM500 deposit is required for the Plan.

The Upfront Advance Fee (which is the amount equal to the Monthly Fee) is charged during registration. The Upfront Advance Fee will be used to offset against your first month’s bill any remaining balance of the Upfront Advance Fee will be carried forward to your following month’s bill where you will then be required to pay the remaining balance of the bill.

For CRP subscribers from Wireless Broadband (WBB) plans, you are required to make an Upfront Advance Fee payment upon registration of the Plan. The Upfront Advance Fee of the old WBB plan will be refunded to you upon settlement all the outstanding charges of old plan.

Monthly Fee

The pricing table for the data plans under the Plan is set out on our website at www.u.com.my . If your pricing plan sets out a maximum amount of data that you can use to download and upload, any unused data allowance expires each month or day (depending on your data plan) and cannot be rolled over for use and will be forfeited.

Your first month data charges will be prorated. For following month, your monthly data charges are payable for each full monthly billing period. If the Plan is terminated before the end of your billing cycle, your monthly data charges will be pro-rated.

You must pay the Monthly Fee in full even if you do not use the Plan to the full value of the service for the month, and no part of the Monthly Fee will be carried over to the following months. Any usage exceeding the Monthly Fee will be billed to you on monthly basis. Monthly Fee may be used interchangeably with Access Fee or Monthly Access Fee in www.u.com.my or in your bill.

All prices stated in these Terms are exclusive of all current and future taxes and other similar charges such as service tax, goods and services tax, sales tax and value added tax that may be imposed by any authority.

Experience

Your actual download speed and data capacity based on your pricing plan vary and are affected but not limited, by your distance from our 4G or 5G mobile network tower, the capacity of our mobile tower, the source of your download, your handset type and quality, your hardware and software and the general Internet traffic.

You are responsible for monitoring your own data use. Any usage meter which we make available for checking your data allowance balance is provided as a convenience to you. The usage shown in the usage meter is an indication only and is not the actual amount. Your actual usage will be recorded in your monthly bill. You may download the MyUMobile App to view your data usage.

For full experience with the Plan, you must ensure your connected device is either 4G LTE capable device or 5G-ready device. Your use of the Service is dependent on the hardware and software that you use. We do not make any representation or warranty that our SIM or Service will be compatible with your hardware and software.

We may monitor your account to ensure you are complying with the Terms. We will investigate misuse of the Plan. If we find that you have misused the Plan, we may recover from you any costs of investigating the misuse and any compensation we are required to pay to regulators or other parties as a result of your misuse.

The Service will be provided on a “as-is” and “where-is” basis. We disclaim all liability in relation to the Service including but not limited to the availability, accessibility, timeliness, continuous and uninterrupted use of the Service or secured access to the Service.

Termination

The Service will continue until terminated by you (except where you have subscribed to an add-on data plan where the Plan continues until your data allowance expires or is used up, whichever occurs earlier) or until terminated by us according to the Terms.

You may contact our Customer Service via 018 388 1318 or walk-in to our service centres to request for termination of the Plan.

Even though it is cheap but the fact that 5G router cost between 1.5~2k, I dont think it is a good deal unless you are going to use it as a hotspot with your phone.

I think YES is a better deal at RM99 with a free 5G router. Too bad I signed up with Celcom Home Wireless 5G at RM149 before YES introduced the price cut.

RM700 to RM900 can get a decent one already but DNB Ericsson equipment really has serious compatibility issues with China based chipsets such as Huawei Balong, ZTE and Unisoc.
Those more expensive modems use wither SD or Mediatek that's why they have better compatibility.

YES also restricts speeds to around 120Mbps on their 5G on average. Their network very high ping rate.

Best we get a cheaper modem for time being to future proof investment. Wait for 2nd 5G network to use Huawei equipment for better compatibility with China based chipsets.

Celcom also give ZTE MC801A. Basically it is kinda crap. Not sure why it would disconnect everyday at 8AM. I tried to restart at 7xxAM also cannot solve. I only managed to solve this by disabling the WiFi and instead using Tplink AX50 as access point for WiFi which ultimately solve the disconnection problem. So far it has been pretty stable since the 5G tower in right in front of my office (since it sits on the U Mobile building). I just need a cat6e cable since the original cable that came with the router are unable to get above 130Mbps via access point.

Better read the deal conditions more carefully.

RM99 is only for first 6 months, after that will be full RM149/month for the remaining 18 months of your 24 months contract.

That's like almost paying 2.5X more than U Home 5G plan.

Same 5G network but different international routing.

Umobile is sister company with Singapore's StarHub.

Just as Time's major upstream provider is Singtel, DiGi's is Telenor.

Yes 5G 24 months total expenses = (99*6+149*18)*1.06=3472.56

UMobil = 68*24*1.06 + Cheapest 5G modem recommended (1699)= 3428.92

ends up similar , instead of their network routing, Yes has 120Mbps max speed but no FUP, low upfront cost (no need buy the 5G modem) but umobile U has max speed but 1TB FUP (33GB per day . )

Got the sim card on last Sunday 25th June once saw the ads of plan. Reason to replace my current Unifi Air which is totally rubbish.

Only 4G band28 works around 30-50mbps, rest band below 1mbps. 5G was great as well 300mbps.

No, can use anywhere. I put in my phone as well initially to test the speed on 4G and 5G. But now put at home in modem.

I used my modem to lock on band28 because other band very slow and congested in my place.

Many rm200 at shopee at lazada mention support 5G is fake.. so misleading.. dont buy it or you will regret later.. the cheapest and decent one i recommended is Four Faith / Yeacomm that around rm950~1000. can get up to 1Gbps if the signal strong enough in your area.. mine always at 500~600mbps at 3 bar signal..

Its just a calculation.. not really capped at 33GB per day.. use as much as you like as long as not exceed 1TB in 1 month.. for tv box not a problem if connection in your place not just fast but stable.. for 4K streaming, adviseable speed around 50mbps..

I see a "Y510" one which seems to be around rm600 and has 5G
But using Unisoc chip

The rm200 ones are fake
Friend of mine has one
It doesn't even do 5Ghz wifi, so there's no reason for "5G" to be on there

If you on a tight budget then you can consider much cheaper modem like Unicom VN007+ or Quantum H188.. price range from rm600~800.. but the speed can’t go up to 1Gbps.. mostly around 400~500mbps max..

Maybe not with DNB's Ericsson equipment but once the 2nd 5G network starts using Huawei equipment, these China chipsets might gain the upperhand with compatibility in future.

I am thinking about replacing unifi 100mbps to Umobile 5g , since high chance to have higher speed for less.

1. I tested the line on iPhone , seem 5g only work outdoor / open window. Do you all place the modem indoor or using outdoor external antenna ?

2. Seem my housing area have max speed around 300+mbps , but at some area (near kl) I manage to get 1gbps, so 5g is cell tower speed dependent on max speed ?

I tried with my Samsung A53 with Yes 5G, speed test from the phone around 500-700Mbps, when share using USB tethering speed become 300-400Mbps around due to USB 2.0 speed limitation.

I placed my phone in my upper living room, 5G signal strength depends the distance between your home to the DNB tower..

Almost all mobile network provides only private IP/NAT to consumers.

Unless they have special arrangement such as a fixed wireless broadband solution,

actually, yes and no to the 5G signal strength, I got 5 bar 5g, I get 300mbps, but if I have 3 bar, I still reach the same speed (tested by phone).
Might mean, 300mbps is easily minimum speed of the 5G signal.

well still work out cheaper than Unifi.

So far OK all,not undergo extensive test yet. I need 1-2 weeks to check if is stable. Also need to explore the configurations,but a quick glance when I changed the default password,looks like it provide lock band feature and support zerotier。

The UI also provide functionality to change IMEI and TTY。

I am new to 5g, does rain = no 5g? seem to drop signal from 5 bar to 1 bar, 300mbps to 30mbps?

suddenly Astro ads ring a bell, while Astro used to have no signal during rain.
Now 5g turn to die while raining.

I been using ZTE MC801A + u mobile postpaid plan of 98 (unlimited hotspot device + 1TB )previously as alternative due to the unifi port full in my area. Average download / upload around 250-300mbps / 75mpbs.

I would say it highly depends on the 5G signal. I managed to find a spot in my house, a particular wall that give me quite consistent experience. Plug that into the mesh and it works seamlessly.

In fact, I am selling off the ZTE MC801A as I have gotten the port, so let me know if any of you interested.

More updates on this 5G CPE I bought from Taobao directly:
1. Form the IMEI check, the modem modules is QUECTEL RM520N-GL. GL means global version, cover mostly all the 5G/4G bands. From another forum somebody slot this module into Mikrotik router and it works fine with Router OS.
3. The SOC part of this modem is from MediaTek
4. The brand is WEYCH or in Chinese 小曼联网 (From box packaging)

This post is brought to you by U Mobile.

When it comes to having an ultra-fast Internet service for your home, you may immediately think of a fibre service. However, there are times and scenarios whereby implementing fibre into your home might be challenging.

A full-fledged fibre service usually has a contract that lasts for 12 to 24 months attached to it. So, this could be a major issue if you are renting a place for a short-term work assignment that is going to last just for a few months.

This scenario may also apply to college students out there. You definitely don’t want to go through the hassle of cancelling the fibre account at your rented home once you are done with your studies.

Living in an ageing building or house that has been around for decades may also pose a challenge for fibre deployment. For such an establishment, it is possible you might be looking for a non-intrusive way to have fast Internet without affecting its delicate structure or preservation effort.

Not to forget, perhaps your housing area somehow already exhausted its fibre port allocation. It could also be that you are already tired of waiting for a fibre port to be available for your home.

If you find yourself in any of these situations, fret not: we are already in the 5G era! Through the new generation wireless technology, having a blazing fast Internet speed without having messy cables going through the home wall is no longer a pipedream. 

Enter the new U Home 5G plan from U Mobile

The new unlimited U Home 5G plan provides fibre-like Internet speeds without any cap. In fact, you will be getting a 5G download speed of at least 100Mbps, as guaranteed by the current national 5G infrastructure provider, Digital Nasional Berhad.

With the new U Home 5G plan, you do not have to worry about any installation or even an installer’s appointment. While you are at it, you may want to consider pairing the plan with 5G Wi-Fi home routers such as those from ZTE, so that you can properly tap into the full potential of 5G technology and enjoy fibre-like Internet speeds.

Meanwhile, this 5G wireless home broadband plan also provides ultimate flexibility since it does not come with any contract to tie you down. This means even you are free to use the U Home 5G plan in other locations if you have to move away from your current home.

In fact, for college students out there, you are free to utilise the 5G plan in your hometown during the semester break.  If you are worried that the U Home 5G plan will only function within 5G coverage areas, that is not the case at all as the plan will work as intended through 4G connectivity although the connection speed is not as fast as 5G.

Normally, the U Home 5G plan is available for RM78/month but it is currently being offered at only RM68/per month and fret not: this discounted price will last for life, as long as you remain with U Mobile. This essentially made it the most affordable unlimited home wireless broadband plan in the market at the moment.

Shall you require more information about the new U Home 5G plan, just head on to U Mobile’s official website. Alternatively, you can also visit any of the U Mobile stores throughout the country to enable your house with U Home 5G

Can, it will operate as normal 4G modem (cannot get 5G). The 5G modem module very expensive,try to search this QUECTEL RM520N-GL,almost RM800+ one piece。This is why most True 5G CPE costs more than RM1K。

4G modem module has a lot variant,eg CAT2, CAT4, CAT6, 20 and etc, cheaper a bit。The cheapest is those that not support carrier aggregation。The one that support only2 CA,already cost over RM500+.

Yes, seller is the same. I did post a review there. brows.gif Nick name is 潘大侠 brows.gif I choose this because it has newer Qualcomm X62 modem (I do not want X55 modem which is also from Qualcomm; if not mistaken, the CPE recommended by Umobile is using X55 modem)
Btw, there are 2 designs, one is square and one is round. I bought round one where top surface contains 5G led logo.

Band information related to Malaysia Telcos --> https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/MY
My area Umobile 5G is using N78 band.

If the mod you refer to -> change TTL and change IMEI
Answer: maybe yes

I do notice the CPE setup has these 2 facilities (I did not try as my Umobile SIM is Umobile 5G broadband):
1) Enable/Disable TTL and input TTL number. This one easy enable it and put in a number, you are done rclxm9.gif
2) A window to input modem AT commands and A window for IMEI revise. This one is challenging rclxub.gif you need to know the correct AT command to do so. devil.gif The AT command can reference to https://www.hitoha.moe/change-4g-mikrotik-imei/ because I know Mikrotik 4G/5G device using modem module from QUECTEL


Later I capture the screen and attach here.

More info for carrier aggregation: https://cacombos.com/ (read the FAQ, very good explanation)

I am using zte mc888, which is last year model
Umobile suggest 2021 model which use x55 chipset, but that one got local official warranty, cant blame them.
Malaysia 5g broadband adoption is low compare to other countries, cant blame vendor does not bring new router come in Malaysia. The performance is really good.

If the mod you refer to -> change TTL and change IMEI
Answer: maybe yes

I do notice the CPE setup has these 2 facilities (I did not try as my Umobile SIM is Umobile 5G broadband):
   1) Enable/Disable TTL and input TTL number. This one easy enable it and put in a number, you are done rclxm9.gif
   2) A window to input modem AT commands and A window for IMEI revise. This one is challenging rclxub.gif  you need to know the correct AT command to do so.  devil.gif The AT command can reference to https://www.hitoha.moe/change-4g-mikrotik-imei/ because I know Mikrotik 4G/5G device  using modem module from QUECTEL
Later I capture the screen and attach here.

More info for carrier aggregation: https://cacombos.com/ (read the FAQ, very good explanation)

Hm very weird, looking at everyone's experience here, all the 5G bands that are in use locally in MY is n78, however my S21 5G from AT&T unlocked can never get a lock onto the local 5G band even when I'm in area that's covered by DNB's infra.

But in lion city with Singtel 5G, I get full 5G lock NR n78 on the whole island confused.gif

Wanted to test with yoodo but it doesn't even get 5G at all despite it using the same n78 band with Singtel 5G (Checked on my Oppo Reno 5 5G that has another Yoodo 5G enabled SIM)

Might have to eventually invest in a Nighthawk from maybe eBay so I can get faster 5G speeds on the go in MY rclxub.gif

Try lock band as shown below. With the below I can force connect 5G consistently even signal is weak and it will not fall over to 4G.

So anyone with 5G router can comment on the performance during rain ? Since it is not cheap, doesn't really want to get one just to test it out.

Was having pretty heavy rain at skudai last friday
Did not have any effect on speed, in fact i was doing a lot of test that day
If i get anymore rain in recent day, I'll report again.
However, in my experince of using 4g broadband for the past 6 years or so in my office, rain seldom cause any issue

Which nr5103?
I would advice you get 3 branded one instead of ee
As 3 firmware is a lot better and with more features

Guys, this package can be used effectively in ZTE MU5120 portable 5G router ya?
10,000 mAH, ~16 hours battery operation & can use as 18W powerbank as well.

~RM1.6k at shopeepee/Lazatda

Because i’m frequent outstation to penang and KL.

So it has true unlimited? Or will have FUP of 1TB?
Difference between the umobile rm68 postpaid package?

I am quite impressed with 5G speed. So far i got YES 5G Power 35 used at at my office although didn’t have 5G coverage yet. 100GB data quota, hotspot quota takes from main data quota.

Then i have unifi 5G postpaid 65 used in my ipad pro M1 12.9 5G. 60GB data quota + hotspot quota 10GB only though.
If use hotspot with my laptop, that 10GB is definitely not enough for work doh.gif

I’m more of a future proof guy. Don’t mind spending some money to use for years to come.

Appreciate your inputs guys. icon_rolleyes.gif

The modem looks like a good mate to U Home 5G unlimited package. Is it capable of lock band ? If it can then you should get better 5G speed.

It's also ok if not, just not as optimised.

Be careful when you insert the sim. Wrong entry can spoil easily. This kind of setup is super hot. Can fried the board so pandai pandai.
When hot 5G become 3G speed.

I think those 5G CPEs using Qualcomm X62, X65 or X70 (too new, might not exist in current market available CPE yet) RF module support NR-CA ( https://www.quectel.com/news-and-pr/quectel...pp-r16-standard ). Btw, all three, e.g. X62, X65 and X70 are manufactured using 4nm process, should more or less solve the heat problem (I hope).

Based on this website description -> https://www.3gpp.org/specifications-technol...ases/release-16 those 5G RF module that claimed support 3GPP release 16, should be NR-CA ready.
Example:
QUECTEL RM520N-GL (using Qualcomm X62 modem) NR-CA combination info https://forums.quectel.com/t/what-ca-combin...nd-rm520f/16714

From the explanation for NR-CA here -> https://www.rfwireless-world.com/5G/5G-NR-C...ion-basics.html It also depends on telco infrastructure whether it offer it or not, for Malaysia I think CA for 5G not so fast as the frequency range for 5G so limited.

I just recently got my U home 5G sim card. This is my test result:
5G: 600mbps dl; 30-100mbps ul
4G+: 10-20mbps dl; 10-15mbps ul

This is tested indoor. About 500m from tower (line of sight except when going indoor where my modem is blocked by 1 brick wall).

I am happy with the 5G performance. What worries me is that I'm using 20-30gb daily on the first few days since I'm working from home. Afraid that 1TB allocation is not enough.

assuming you use max 30GB per day.
10 days = ~300GB
30 days = ~900GB.

ok la the 1000GB allocation is enough for your needs what?

if not, need to topup rm30 for additional 1000GB. icon_rolleyes.gif

20-30gb on a normal day. Some day I would need to download/upload big files (few gigas) so it would be higher. I'm actually surprised about my data consumption because I never cared about it before lol..

I guess the extra 1000gb for rm30 could be helpful during busy month xD

If not mistaken RS860 and B310 are CAT4 modems, they do not support CA. If you can get CAT6 and above modem, the 4G DL/UL can double up. V12 what modem is it?
Some phone will indicate it is using CA by a plus beside 4G, e.g 4G+.

For 5G I do not know how to confirm it is using CA, anybody know?

Was having pretty heavy rain at skudai last friday
Did not have any effect on speed, in fact i was doing a lot of test that day
If i get anymore rain in recent day, I'll report again.
However, in my experince of using 4g broadband for the past 6 years or so in my office, rain seldom cause any issue

Weather is rather subjective... even I'm not a Umobile or U Home user, but my experience with Unifi Air on rainy day, sometimes speed ok, sometimes drop/slow like hell... but I really doubt rain will cause slow wifi broadband speed EVEN if you maintain using the same service in the same area/room/office/building for days/weeks/months.

ZTE MU5210

Tested for a week now.
Bought at Shopee for RM1.6k. Search for sing4g shop.
Size is almost the same as my iphone 8 plus. Not that heavy, ~240gram and can function as 18W PD powerbank too.
When battery reaches 10%, it will shutdown the powerbank function.
Can lock to Band 77,78 as per recommendation, but i just use Auto mode only.
10,000mAH, can last about ~16 hours of operation, depending on how many devices & users connected. Max 32 users on 2.4ghz, 32 users on 5Ghz, totalling to 64 users.
So far no overheat or 5G speed drop due to heat issue. Just warm only.

Didn’t really use more than 4 hours so i can’t really say about the long lasting battery life.
When used after 4 hours on my 4 devices (2 iphones, ipad & windows laptop), battery life shown on screen was about 74%.

But from what i read on the manual, it’s NOT recommended to use the USBC charger while operating ala fixed 5G router type like those big towering routers.
It will degrade battery life.

Average 5G speed i get is as below at Jitra Kedah:

DL: 500Mbps
UL: 70Mbps

Average 4G speed when i go places where no 5G coverage

DL: 30Mbps
UL: 10Mbps

I believe this portable 5G router is just what i really need for travelling to KL, Penang for work purpose.
Just need to check for umobile 5G coverage on map then it’s good to go.

Will write a proper thorough review on Review Section when i have the time. icon_rolleyes.gif

For those planning to buy a 5G modem, the TP-Link Deco X50-5G will be a great choice and it's coming soon

I borrowed a unit from TP-Link to test and it's amazing. It's using Qualcomm 5G modem so performance is guaranteed.

They didnt' tell me the exact price but they said it's cheaper than those grey import sellers and you also get 3 years warranty.

Edit: I was wondering why it can sustain high speed continuously. Then I decided to open it and found a fan inside.

Yes tplink is nice and loval unit, x50-4g is using x65 chipset, which is likely to be the cheapest around
But, my experince using tp link x50-4g is, their firmware support for mobile router is suck to the max, while normal x50 is getting multiple firmware with Added functionality, the 4g variant got nothing. It had been complain at the forum and they just dont care.
Perhaps in a sense that tplink main router portfolio is fiber router, and those china brand eg huawei and zte are having sustaintial cpe porfolio

Yes can, unlike the Huawei old school lock band, it's better too

It will scan what bands are available at your area and let you to choose the CA combo

Let it run! Has 1-year warranty to claim incase break down. If it can run for 3 years, I think it is also time to buy new one with newer technologies, e.g. WIFI 7 or LIFI.
The one I bought from Taobao, run every day 16 hours. I shut down daily to get rid of radio wave at night for good sleep.

Btw, most chips are designed to operate below 100 Celsius without any issues. The drawback is throttling will happened if operation temperature exceeds 80 Celsius depending on the firmware implementation.

You only feel throttling when gamming. For normal use you will not feel it. Claim very susah one. Mine 55c already throttling.

Do you use 5G solely as main internet source for your house? Or got fiber fixed line?

If you shut down the 5G router at night before sleep, then your CCTVs will not work? And other IoTs in your house?

I have Unifi fibre also as I want public IP as I host my own NAS。I use 5G for work from home activities as the upload performance way better than Unifi fibre,upload speed almost double ~50mbps vs ~100mbps。Plus this serve as my mobile internet when I work from my parent house in Penang (I stay at Kedah)

Yoodo is riding on Celcom's network and soon it will be combination of Celcom + DiGi

Umobile 4G is far worst than CelcomDiGi network

The appeal of this plan is probably the cheapest entry to DNB's 5G for now

This umobile plan is same as YES wireless fiber 5G
minus bundle 5G device, no contract and ringgit friendly

Yes, but with much slower speed... ~10-50Mbps DL, and 10-30Mbps UL depend modem model.
Waiting friends B618-65D(BEST 4G Modem) to verify best speed can achieve by 4G modem.

i am using MR600. try to search signal in your house. in my house different location will give me different speed. the rotation/position of your antena also will impact your speed also. mine manage to get from about 16MB to average 40MB and sometime in midnight can go up to 60MB. i am using unifi air btw.

Usually auto band will select band 3, if you router able to select band , try lock on Band 28, you get higher speed!

It has been two weeks now using UHome 5G. Now I have bought the NR5103E 3 UK version, I am quite happy with the speed and stability. I disabled the wifi for the Zyxel modem and use a spare Asus AC59V2 as AP.
Using the Zyxel modem, the speed is around 300-390Mbps but using the Asus router via AP I manage to get consistently more than 500Mbps

May I check if you put the modem indoor? Able to find out how is the signal reception in the indoor setting and what band it’s connecting to?

Why not just buy a 5g phone then hotspot it to a wifi router?
Wouldn't it be cheaper?

if die die want to use hotspot, maybe can use:

1. usb tethering, not all router can support (high end phone only got usb 3.0, else will be limited to usb 2.0 speed)

2. usb-c to ethernet dongle (also limited to usb speed)

The speed shared out by the phone via wifi, will be much slower than using a proper modem. Unless you use high-end phone with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/6e chip

Think depend on the signal on location. I have since upgraded from Asus router to 2 TPlink X50 PoE as AP, one on the ground floor and the other master bedroom. Significant improvement in stable connection and speed

Cheaper Yes. Long run it will impact with battery life span. Cheaper 5g phone usually with USB2.0 connection for device tethering.
So, you max speed is bottleneck... unless market available with 5G dongle. that much more cheaper soon...

originally I also had this idea to buy a cheap 5G phone and used as modem router。But after survey,the cheapest 5G phone costs around RM600。After some thoughts,I dropped the idea。

How you can get below RM 400 for M4 Pro 5G? I tried lowest also RM 620. Look forward to your feedback on this also as I am trying to get a cheap 5G phone as mifi.

Me try on M3 Pro 5G (signal detected full 5 bar) hotspot, other device wiFi connect only able to get ~30Mbps DL, not worth/competitive to real router! though Phone had higher signal reception quality.

Due to DNB's bad taste and selection to choose Ericsson, avoid China branded chipsets such as Unisoc, Balong(Huawei) and ZTE if possible.

The most compatible 5G modem chipsets you should lookout for phones and fixed modems are Mediatek or Qualcomm's Snapdragon based ones.

This is until ZTE and Huawei is given the chance to build the 2nd wholesale 5G network in future. Until then avoid modems/phones which uses China branded ones.

They never learned even after TM's failed HSBB network which until today tries to monopolize the entire nation's fixed fibre network. See how our national wholesale pricing for fibre broadband lines unable to progress forward and lower significantly in pricing due to bad monopolistic prices. PH is moving forward by allowing TNB Allo and TIME now to service landed homes instead.

DNB was the same thing dog biting back its own tail move.

Bad decision in chosing Ericsson? Based on what? Based on your choice of phones?

To share out as wifi router ? None as all cheap phones come with low end chip, you are not going to get high speed.

My Galaxy S23 has tri-band wifi chipset, that one can get high speed wifi.

If wanna spend on a 5G modem router, I'd rather go for these two models than those "EE", "3" etc. etc.

Hi. Happy to report I subscribed to U Home 5G and using it with ZTE MU5120 without issue. I can get full bar signal from high floor condo. Average speed btw 200mb-400mb DL. Sometimes can get more than 500mb DL depends on time of the day. Which is more than enough for steaming content and work.

Been reading this topic and at first feel a bit overwhelming on the technical discussed here. So if anyone like me, hope this helps.

I just sign up for this package. On 5G full bar, I can achieve 450Mbps on iphone 12 on fast.com. 4G 3 bars also pretty good experience in my hilly area.

The next problem need to solve is how to bypass torrent block.
My maxsheet 4g no restriction on torrent.

Hahaha funny
Dont misled ppl
Direct compare apple to apple. Three uk was using zte 801A before change to newer and better 3 branded zyxel 5103e.
801a is using x52 platform while the bew 3 branded router us using mediatek T750 platform

On the other hand, the newer model from ZTE is 888 series, which use x62/65 platform. Therefore, not really savvy if follow umobile suggestions only.
Why umobile suggest obsolete model? Becuase ZTE didnt bring in newer model into malaysia yet and got a lot old stock lo

Therefore, if chossing between 801a and the three model, three one is newer tech
Ee one is using older mediatek chipset i believe

You will get better performance on a newer ASUS router

The AC68U USB performance is kinda poor.

But… at the cost of buying a new ASUS router, you can get a proper 5G modem router. Might as well keep it

If not mistaken the other variant of 888 is using Qualcomm X62 modem.

5G CPE that using Qualcomm X65 or X70 modem very hard to find (may be too expansive and not exists yet)

I also noticed from forum Qualcomm X55 modem had issue, what issue I not sure, may be too hot ?

yes…888s unisoc and 888 x62, 888 ultra x65

yes…expensive. ppl rather go for mediatek t750 platform.

u see tplink put a fan inside x50 5g (x62 chipset) then u know how hot it will be for older x55 but higher performance.

so i really recommend those ppl who using fanless qualcomm chipset 5g cpe turn off its wifi and wired connect to another router as access point to offload the wifi chipset heat. of course you can use a fan if u don't want so hassle.

But… at the cost of buying a new ASUS router, you can get a proper 5G modem router. Might as well keep it

Not sure if Xiaomi phones support it
I know Samsung does
Even if it does, you are limited to roughly 300Mbps due to USB2 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter, (480Mbps USB with overhead)

He’s using USB Tethering to the ASUS router to work as WiFi router so the heat won’t be so bad on the phone

But older ASUS routers don’t have a fast USB port, AC68U is like a 10 years old model now

Still receiving frequent firmware updates tho, got to give credit when it’s due

yes, ethernet tethering should be able to fetch him around 300mbps because his usb tethering direct to laptop gives him 320mbps.
300mbps is better than his current 120mbps

yes…888s unisoc and 888 x62, 888 ultra x65

yes…expensive. ppl rather go for mediatek t750 platform.

u see tplink put a fan inside x50 5g (x62 chipset) then u know how hot it will be for older x55 but higher performance.

so i really recommend those ppl who using fanless qualcomm chipset 5g cpe turn off its wifi and wired connect to another router as access point to offload the wifi chipset heat. of course you can use a fan if u don't want so hassle.

Yes my mc888 sibei hot
Operating @ 60c constant
And i use it as modem only, didnt have wifi on and connect to my tplink mesh
Anyone has t750 normal operating temp? For zyxel nr5103e that rebrabded as ee/3? Zyxel 5103e also got fan at bottom

3 version is ok…don't get the EE version.

4g is vastly depends on the area congestion

some area even with 3CA (1+3+7) also less than 20mbps, some area can hit more than 80mbps.

in my area, i rather use single band b28, at least i can get 30-50mbps download speed.

Just pre-order TP Link x50 5G on lazada, only 1 seller. It is packed, should be arriving in 2 days.
The reason I try to avoid those UK telco CPEs because you hardly see firmware version upgrade.

TP Link is more reliable in my opinion.

of course usb to ethernet will works better than usb tethering to router because usb tethering very depends on the router cpu performance, not just the usb port theoretical speed.

btw, your lan cable is cat 5e above and usb adapter is gigabit or not? why just fetch u 100mbps result? i suppose able to hit 300mbps.

Simply make use of what i having right now only.
Will buy proper cable and lan adapter.
But not sure my rt68u wan port is how fast, later google.

I tend to avoid reading non reputable sites for reviews.
That blacktubi i just read, lots of text but missing many info. Like says qualcomm chip but no say which chip. Like review car say proton but no say which proton. Also these review site have many stuff to review, probably haven even test properly they already move on to other stuff.
I trust end users who actually use the stuff day to day better.

Here you are: TP Link x50 Deco 5G

I am using x50-4g for two years, 0 firmware update.
They dont really update their mobile internet line up. Check tplink forum you will see some complain too.
Perhaps they will change for 5g?

Oh really? My experience based one their wifi router. First time buying their 5G CPE.

Thanks. Update us when you receive it. Hope it is not a "pre-order" as I see the seller hasn't sold any units and this device is officially not available in Malaysia yet.

If your device permit lock band, try the below settings. Tick all 4G bands, and only 2 5G bands (which is the only 2 5G bands in Malaysia). Though 5G signal is low it will not fall back to 4G, at least this is my 5G CPE behavior.
But for weak 5G signal, if I only lock 1,3,5,7 and 8 bands for 4G, my 5G CPE will always connect to 4G, even 5G is enabled and lock.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5388640/+79#

My area 5G signal is weak (same as you ~1.5 bar)

Alright guys, my TP link x50-5G just arrived and immediately I setup with the U Mobile Home 5G sim.

It takes nano sim and just insert at the bottom.

As my apartment is at hilly area, facing the hill. The best 5G reception is at my living room near balcony.
user posted image

You can see I got 3 bars of 5G reception.

The speed test speed was around download 200 Mbps and upload 10 Mbps.

Very quiet, no fan whining. I got the firmware update notice after I just completed setting up using the Deco app.

That's quite a decent speed for that signal.

I wish TP-Link will let us to boost the fan speed as I find the default fan curve is too conservative.

When the device is just powered on, the fan will run at max RPM for a few seconds before the silent fan profile kicks in.

Anyways, may I know what's the speed you got on your 5G phone? For my case, the Deco X50-5G performs better than my iPhone 12 Pro.

I suppose newer phones with better Qualcomm 5G modem should perform better.

PSA: The Deco X50-5G comes with Snapdragon X62. I have a short review here if anyone is interested.

Gotten three logo zyxel nr5103e. Initially if didnt lock band straight connect 4g only. Granted, i am testing it in a very crowded residential. Seriously townhouse and condo in one area? Brilliant developer.
After locking to b28 and all 5g band, get constant 5g connection, at least for now.
Speed wise, bench against UTHM batu pahat getting ~ 320 mbps dl, and 8, yes, 8 mbps upload. I even getting 0.9 for upload, siao
Using fast.com, getting ard 270mbps, and 12mbps upload.
Dont have the time to stress test and gaming test, perhaps tomolo.
Dashboard show full bar lte, 2 bar 5g.
The firmware is b12, and true to what ispreview mentioned, without a three sim card this unit wont be getting firmware update.

On my iPhone 12 (not pro), I got around 450 Mbps during 5G full bars. But in my apartment, only 4G (not even 4G+).
Definitely the x50 5G has better reception since it can do 5G 3 bars comparing to my phone at same location.

Ya, the fan profile is very quiet and the router itself does not get hot either. Maximum I can say is like little warm after whole day usage.

It is a full fledge router with 5G capability, the power adaptor is 12V 2A round shape plug. Port wise, it was 2.5Gbps WAN port for typical PPPoE. Another two 1 Gbps LAN ports. It has 2 Reverse Polarity SMA Female socket for better 4G/5G reception, antennas are not included though. It does not have battery built-in. Not 5G Mifi modem.

Nope, it will always be routed through Deco.

However, it can function as a Unifi router and use 5G as backup.

Actually it can be configured as AP router mode to let main router to do all the NAT, DHCP, routing and etc.
In fact the TP Link support page for this router has shown the options in youtube video.



For this video, it is using Starlink router as example. We can do the same for Unifi/Time/Maxis/Digi and etc router.

Ya b12 is good firmware but mana tau later b16/18/20 lagi best lol

Btw since we are nsa, we must lock both 4g b28 and n77/78 to get 5g right? Without locking also b28 wont connect?

yes, must have b28 for nsa network. many ppl bought china ap set phone without b28 can't connect to our 5G

so just tick 4G b28 and 5G n78 will do.

Ohh i thought they have the same hardware? I'm referring to this model which shares the same design.

What's the drawback in getting EE if it has a different firmware?
Hope you can enlighten me on this.

Thank you.

ispreview forum got ppl feedback…some of them tested both because their telco allows them do so, some said zyxel better some said zte better…can get either 1.

MC801A got 2 version but duno what difference.

MC801A and MC801A1

for non tech savvy ppl, i think tplink x50 5g will be more suitable.

On the contrary, I was in andrewstore last week to test the EE unit (their last stock). They demoed how to force enable/lock 5G network.

Also I noticed that the box and packaging of "3" isn't real?
I'm asking this because I've seen various online sellers selling the same model with different packaging/box.

Unlike EE which is shipped with the original EE yellow box and all the accesories that came with it.

Any test result for 700 MHz?
Just wonder, because in China, they mostly using this as base for kampung, will be interesting to see how many total bandwidth is this frequency in Malaysia.

If it works well, then it might be a better thing than band 5 UniFi 4G. wink.gif

700mhz means LTE b28 here, belum ada 5G n28

currently without congestion, can hit 30-50mbps typically for 4G.

Look at the router, is it ee logo or three
Also, at the firmware, is it ee firmware, which is green, or three, which u will see three logo

Anyone had both NR5103E and MC801A, and tested the reception signal quality and speed, which perform better at same spot?
*
I set up and tested three branded zyxel nr5103e and zte mc888, whcih is using sd x62. Diff location and set up tho, therefore i cannot compare the performance.
Have mc888 for two weeks, 24/7 and connected to at least 17 decyices during working time, but, it is hook up to a x50-4g and deco m4 as mesh node, only using zte mc888 for wan, no wifi obviously. I use javascript to force dns, which does not have it in zte dashboard. Zte ui is not the best, quite chunky and inaccessible once during two weeks, whcih require a hard restart. But, connection wise, the best. Really stable.
Zyxel i set up as a single router, so far two days also no isuue, and connection also stable. Firmware is very responsive, and can set dns, which is awesome. But it does not subject ro heavy abuse as my office set up yet.
Since x50-5g is available, even i have bad experience with tplink firmware support, i have to say it is hard to suggest zte mc888 over tplink. Tplink UI is good, and can remote monitor the router. I would suggest based on budget, either three branded zyxel or x50-5g. If u want mesh, zyxel would be chesper to set up with more choice since x50-5g is expensive. But if u already have tplink router, x50-5g should be good upgrade, and can recycle old router as mesh node.

It is "EE" logo. I've seen both.
I could not remember the firmware but the staff in andrewstore showed me how to lock the network (saw him selected "5G" only).

EE - andrewstore and all other sellers have the same packaging: a big yellow box with all the leaflets (even includes the EE card with the admin username and password). The packaging is clean and you know is "new" based on what you get.

3 - online sellers have different box/printed on it. There is no manual or some sort included. Even the plug is different. I've seen UK, EU or China plug. This shouldn't be the case because "3' is a UK-only telco network.

Side note: U Mobile Paradigm Mall PJ is also selling the same "3" 5G router and the box is also different (the box is light blue in color).

So my question is.. are "3" 5G routers "new" or considered refurbished/returned products from customers?

Ok then, because there is a special old sawit tree road for Melaka and N.S., when I going that road with power of UniFi 4G 1 bar band 5, there is 90% no connection happen.

--Sorry for a bit off topic
When I inside building, band 40 always kicked me to band 5 and leaving me 8-30M random speed la.
Also UniFi changed equipment for 4G+ I think, because my qualcomm 625 no longer supported 4G+, it will keep jumping in between 4G and 4G+, causing high power consumed.
--done off topic

So yes, I will be interesting on coverage of 5G using n28 on East Malaysia, as I still on the surprised on those news, about going high location to get a stable connection during MCO for learning class. smile.gif

I guess they might be planning on using n28 on East Malaysia, then middle/high band on west malaysia, this will ensure great coverage and great speed requirement on both side. tongue.gif

so just tick 4G b28 and 5G n78 will do.

Wait, that’s weird.. I have a S21 5G US version at the moment but I can never get 5G connectivity in Malaysia, but on Lion City Singtel, I get 5G with no issues.

Just wonder, for cost?

Because China just using NSA for 1+ years, then fully on SA, guess it is too heavy on 4G+5G signal.(means no benefit at all, as it still costing to 4G network)
I guess those cheap NSA coming to Malaysia, or different brand Malaysia are using? tongue.gif

Should work just fine, I think GL-iNet uses a separate Quectel module for all of their 5G/4G modems, you should technically be able to swap if it doesn’t work but since you can’t choose the module you get with this, it’s probably for the global marker tongue.gif

Stress test download for, ok, i cant really stress test download, too fast for 100 gb download. Test is done for zyxel nr5103e three logo
Spread between epic stram and xbox pc download, all three with supposingly optimized server cdn and Epic can get constant 42MB/s, steam need to wait for awhile to achieve highest download of the three, 49 MB/s, probably because the file allocation method ir used is different from epic. Xbox however, is the slowest, geting below 40MB/s, peaked ard 37 with frequent howering ard 17~25,
Also use rclone and terminal to download a couple of file from onedrive business, getting peaked speed @ 37MB/s and howering ard 32 ish. All test done with my kingston A2000, so read write wont be bottleneck.
Gaming counter strike i am getting ping of 34 ish, which is average.overall, good enough la, but xbox download funny, cos with my unifi 300 i can get constant max bandwidth, which is 35 MB/s.

Even though it is cheap but the fact that 5G router cost between 1.5~2k, I dont think it is a good deal unless you are going to use it as a hotspot with your phone.

I think YES is a better deal at RM99 with a free 5G router. Too bad I signed up with Celcom Home Wireless 5G at RM149 before YES introduced the price cut.

Cheaper 5G router cost rm600-800 only and can do the job. Of course you can get more advanced rm2-4k routers.

In that case, i guess the X50-5G supports up to 150 device. I can connect 20+ devices, shouldn't affect the data usage.

It should not affect, no mistake here. Tp link router and firmware is capable.

But, having ip passthrough or bridge to another router would allow the 5g router to only provide the internet while all other jobs, such as dchp or wifi braodcast to the router. It would be more stable under heavy usage. Just keep this in mind when you need to scale for heavier usage or upgrade to better router.

Users of TP-L X50, how slow is your unit start-up from power on to actual internet connection (green/ light blue light)?

I tested mine 2 times and took about 2m 15s.....

Using Hotlink for set-up, if that matters. At home using UH5G.

there is a common flaw for telco set 4G/5G router: LOCKED DNS

can't set DNS under APN setting (cellular WAN side). gonna set from router LAN setting (LAN side) or client device side.

IP passthrough mode of THREE nr5103e works.

Do i recommend THREE nr5103E?
NO if you are not savvy user. I would rather recomend TPLINK X50-5G.

YES if you want to save for 300 bucks.

other choices?
Fiberhome LG6121F has best firmware.

Yeacomm and Four Faith if you need a mod-able TTL value for unlimited hotspot.

Huawei? too overpriced.

ZTE? still expensive although price is falling, better get TPLINK X50-5G for peace of mind in local warranty.

nr5103e can set on LAN side only

well…i know set on LAN side still get the job done…but u know ocd kicks in 😂

\\[your router's IP address]\USB_SHARE

most of the suggestion is to cover it with electrical tape haha, if your not using WPS , maybe disable for both 2.4G and 5Ghz not sure if that would do the trick since its a WPS button.


Im having a hard time tracing the connected device on each wifi , maybe its time to just configure it as a passthrough device

is it better to have a wifi router as a access point, rather than using Wifi straight from the TP link X50-5G?
*
having a seperate access point means you can place the X50-5G near to the window or corner of wall or somewhere facing nearer to the cell tower, while the separated access point can place at more strategic location for better wifi coverage.

choose nsa/4g (auto switch)

tick only b28 and n78

place the router at the place with signal strength stronger than -85 (-80 is stronger than -85)

yeah.. i allready lock to this b28 and n78 but it tends to fall to 4g/lte sometimes... speedtest shows less than 50mbps.

mine now shows -97.. guess i got to move the router around to find a spot.. wish this router have the option to use a battery pack.

where do ur see the running temp?

also does it have an app or way to track the connected devices data usage?

I bought a Three Zyxel 5103E router. I inserted a Unifi mobile sim into it and it works. But when I inserted a U Home sim into it... it didn't work. Shows connection down status. It did detect the sim card.

Funny thing is that the U Home sim works in my phone.

4G has a 100GB Quota

Is this a problem if you use this as Unifi replacement and just keep the modem within 5g network range?

I test yes 5g sim card in my phone, 6-700mbps which is amazing for RM 58, much more worth it than unifi.
Can the zyxel modem get this speed? or better to get the one from yes for 99 a month

Do not get yes gateway
I repeat, do not get yes gateway
I did some research b4 and went to see the real thing
Its definitely the cheap 5g router that cost ard 500 in shopee, using unisoc
Zxyel would be way better than that.
Please consider the chipset that is use in the router instead of brand name
Mediatek t750 or sd x55/62/65 should have no problem matching phone speed, and would definitely beat phone during stress test and heavy load

Yes 58 no contract, if anyone interested should really try it la
After all i didnt use yes sim in router to confirm if the funny behaviour also exist in yes 58
Seriously la, 60ish include sst, anyone still remember itu rahmah package also cost rm60?
New ministry of multimedia do a lot of funny thing
Lucky we have u and yes, no buat comedy with the ministry

Its definitely the cheap 5g router that cost ard 500 in shopee, using unisoc
Zxyel would be way better than that.
Please consider the chipset that is use in the router instead of brand name
Mediatek t750 or sd x55/62/65 should have no problem matching phone speed, and would definitely beat phone during stress test and heavy load

Yes 58 no contract, if anyone interested should really try it la
After all i didnt use yes sim in router to confirm if the funny behaviour also exist in yes 58
Seriously la, 60ish include sst, anyone still remember itu rahmah package also cost rm60?

for those who are still reading about 5G chipset, here are some extra infos:

https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/cellular-m...e-developments/

those theoretical max speed just take it as a pinch of salt because it's lab result of multiple carrier aggregation for sub 6GHz and mmWave.

for malaysia, mcmc has reserved 700 MHz, 3.5 GHz and 26/28 GHz for 5G usage.
https://www.mcmc.gov.my/en/media/press-rele...rum-bands-for-m

2300 MHz and 2600 MHz bands currently used for 4G might be refarmed for 5G usage in future.

for my personal point of view, i don't think the 26/28 GHz (mmWave) is important for home 5G usage for the moment, because it will be too costly for telco to setup such high density infrastructure for mass coverage.

Wish UM would make more add on selection. Like RM10 for 200GB or Rm15 for 400GB for folks who accidentally salah budget quota. Not really worth taking rm30 add on for 1-7 day usage or for me 12 hours before the new bill cycle 😅

Where you get the info they are using quectel? I went and see the gateway and see it rated for 2.++gbps when they first launch their 148 broadband last year, while quectel rg500 should be rated 4.67Gbps

Non- peak hours average 15-20mbps
Peak hours (7pm-12am) 2-5mbps, TV box keep buffering.

Waiting for news about Unifi plan being cheaper before cancelling this plan.

Guys. Need help.
My parents live right in front of 5G tower and I’ve tested the 5G speed in their house with my iphone 14 pro max on maxis postpaid. Its about 900 - 1200Mbps.

If I use this umobile home plan, the speed will be the same for the whole 1TB quota?

Whats the best modem/router to use to get this speed?

A bit on the pricey side. What about Zyxel NR5103e?
I understand that the speed can only reach about 500mbps. But how about the stability? Consistent 500mbps is good enough for my parents.

no official warranty…user interface not as easy like tplink…tplink got app…worth to top up the price difference (for the extra official warranty period already worth it).

unless if u say u can get THREE version of NR5103E at rm500, then the price is justified.

Money is money
I dont think your parent need 500mbps, do correct me with their usage if i am wrong to say so
Thus, getting three branded nr5103e is suffices
And the price is ard 700 in shopee after discount

Still, compare 5g nsa now and 4g+ its already 50% improvement at least.
To test, i decided today to play multiple dota in my office which is using zte 888+my tp link mesh
Over three hours only spike once, otherwise all perfect.
Having at least 15 devices connected to my network also
So, i believe for gaming its good

Non-peak hours 4G LTE average speeds of 15-20Mbps likely means your 4G LTE modem-router does not support Carrier Aggregation or is not Cat.6 or higher, which can get 100+Mbps during non-peak hours. U Mobile 4G cell towers transceive on frequency Carriers or Bands 1, 3, 7 and 8.

Maybe you should try these 4G LTE Cat.6 modem-routers, .........

If your phone supports CA or is Cat.6 or higher, maybe you can use it to test the 4G LTE speeds on your U Home 5G plan.

x50-5g is using tplink own deco mesh

nx510v is using easymesh


chipset wise, no review or teardown of nx510v so don't know what's the 5g chipset used. but since it mentioned support carrier aggregate so i think it must be newer than x55 chipset so probably using same x62.

the spec looks like customized for telco set but maybe no telco wants it then tplink just sell as consumer product.

Been using and testing Deco X50 5G with UHome sim at my place. Was testing to replace my Time Fibre before going all in with U.
Very happy and satisfied with overall usage.
Constantly getting speeds above 350-400mb compared to the 100 from Time.
Contemplating moving the place or getting external antennas to improve reception.

i still recommend ppl get the tplink x50-5g due to official warranty.

don't care about the wifi of the 5G CPE…place your 5G CPE near the window with best signal reception, connect lan cable to another good wifi coverage router for example ax73 and use it as access point. turn off the wifi of 5G CPE could further reduce heat generated (especially for those without fan built-in).

I already had a few deco units in my place.
I just integrated this into my existing network.
Remove the time modem, set x50 up and was done.
I get good speeds all around.

i still recommend ppl get the tplink x50-5g due to official warranty.

don't care about the wifi of the 5G CPE…place your 5G CPE near the window with best signal reception, connect lan cable to another good wifi coverage router for example ax73 and use it as access point. turn off the wifi of 5G CPE could further reduce heat generated (especially for those without fan built-in).

Yeah i do that with b818 also laugh.gif

I already had a few deco units in my place.
I just integrated this into my existing network.
Remove the time modem, set x50 up and was done.
I get good speeds all around.
Anything above previous 100 is already good for me  thumbup.gif

Ah icic. Any tplink deco mesh can connect to the x50 network right? eg M4, m9 etc

I had m9s setup in my place.
Added the x50, made it the main deco and change the mode to connect using sim.
Was done easily.

x50-5g is using tplink own deco mesh

nx510v is using easymesh
chipset wise, no review or teardown of nx510v so don't know what's the 5g chipset used. but since it mentioned support carrier aggregate so i think it must be newer than x55 chipset so probably using same x62.

the spec looks like customized for telco set but maybe no telco wants it then tplink just sell as consumer product.

Thanks. Thinking of making the jump to 5G but I don't like the current design of most modems - cylindrical lol. This a bit more squarish and to my liking. Also a bit cheaper than X50.

x50-5g got 3 years official warranty and using tplink own deco mesh…if want to use tplink ecosystem mesh network, reconsider it.

Afaik, the important thing to remember about ping or latency is the location of the server Malaysians need to connect to during their online activity, especially in online gaming, not whether their Internet is Fiber, 5G or 4G LTE.
....... No doubt, by itself, Fiber > 5G > 4G LTE wrt ping, ie wired Fiber Internet is faster than wireless/mobile 5G/4G Internet.

Eg those Malaysians who play online Made-in-China games will always get high ping of >100ms whether on Fiber, 5G or 4G LTE, because the game servers are located faraway in China. IOW, it takes much longer for data packets from China to reach Malaysia.
....... If the online game server is located in Singapore, then Malaysians will always get low ping of about 50ms for Fiber, 5G or 4G LTE Internet.

Difference between Deco X50-5G and NX510V is mainly on user experience. For some reasons, TP-Link always maintain 2 product lineup for their networking gear.

Deco lineup is more app centric, simpler with less configurations exposed to users. IMO, the user experience is actually pretty decent these days

The NX510V is from their router lineup so it has a relied on the web interface for config. It has a ton of settings exposed to the users and it has VoLTE as well.

Ping lower then 50 is ok. Worse TM route you 19hops. HK and China ping about 48. I game better with LTE then my fiber line. Maxis LTE. Second thing is the server. Most of the time Singapore server is worse then HK.

Share your ping and connectivity info, that's going to help

Hey guys!

I'm working at a famous big comp and lately there was this discussion in my work team about working with Hoyo's servers and CDNs to improve ping rates to EU and American server. (We'll be starting with South Africa, then EU and America afterwards).

In short, they pay for renting more physical "points" across the world that will make you connect to a closer, physical server (an endpoint) since sooo many people are reporting bad pings. While bad is basically considered >160ms for a non-PVP game like genshin.

I'd love it if you share your average ping and which server and country (or the area if you feel uncomfy about that) you are from. [EU/NA/Asia]

For many people rocking a great <70ms (always green signal bars) they won't even know the term lag.

On the other side, those with more than 200ms will have a bad experience, meaning the gameplay will become a little unfairly unresponsive (even though it's not competitive).

But most importantly I'd like your input about how would you rate your experience like.. out of a scale of 10, in terms of connectivity and fluidity in the game mechanics response. (Since I can't open a poll here, considering your Internet provider is doing well usually)

Something like this:

Playing the EU, I'm from Netherlands, usually 35-40ms on a fiber optic.

Playing on America, I’m from Australia, usually around 220-250 ping. Not entirely sure about the details of my internet other than that it’s TPG 5G
.

CYBRSOLDR
For me I'm in US playing on NA getting pings 15-22ms. On fiber

Edit: I'd give it a 10. Playing on PS4

eternaldolphin
on NA server, but i'm from south america. ping has never, ever been green. it's usually around 140, but can often go over 200 and sometimes even over 300.

voluble02
I am from asia ( india ) and my ping is mostly around 300-350. It suddenly dropped from 150-200 to 300-350 after version 3.2 update

HanlonsBadger
EU, Denmark, 11-20ms ping.

xtremefest_0707
Playing in Pakistan on the NA server with 230-270ms ping.
.

milliaswan
Server: Asia Country: Australia Ping: 170-200+ depending on time of day

I have the fastest plan I can get in my area (100 down 5 up), I’ve never seen green ping so I’m pretty used to what I have rn, but it does get annoying sometimes when you burst with the wrong character cos you thought you swapped but it didn’t quite register haha.

I’ll probably rate a 7 because at this point I know how to play around expected lag on inputs and I’ve never known any smoother.

Ping 120~230, Asia. Malaysia network sucks

cess_lyr_web

Playing on PC, on wifi, in East Malaysia. 300ms ping, was <100ms earlier this month. Weird.


= seems, Genshin Impact only has servers in China, EU and North America/USA, and a ping of around 100ms is tolerable for casual online gaming.

ZTE MU5210

Tested for a week now.
Bought at Shopee for RM1.6k. Search for sing4g shop.
Size is almost the same as my iphone 8 plus. Not that heavy, ~240gram and can function as 18W PD powerbank too.
When battery reaches 10%, it will shutdown the powerbank function.
Can lock to Band 77,78 as per recommendation, but i just use Auto mode only.
10,000mAH, can last about ~16 hours of operation, depending on how many devices & users connected. Max 32 users on 2.4ghz, 32 users on 5Ghz, totalling to 64 users.
So far no overheat or 5G speed drop due to heat issue. Just warm only.

Didn’t really use more than 4 hours so i can’t really say about the long lasting battery life.
When used after 4 hours on my 4 devices (2 iphones, ipad & windows laptop), battery life shown on screen was about 74%.

But from what i read on the manual, it’s NOT recommended to use the USBC charger while operating ala fixed 5G router type like those big towering routers.
It will degrade battery life.

Average 5G speed i get is as below at Jitra Kedah:

DL: 500Mbps
UL: 70Mbps

Average 4G speed when i go places where no 5G coverage

DL: 30Mbps
UL: 10Mbps

I believe this portable 5G router is just what i really need for travelling to KL, Penang for work purpose.
Just need to check for umobile 5G coverage on map then it’s good to go.

Will write a proper thorough review on Review Section when i have the time.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Even if it uses Qualcomm modem chipset inside if no more firmware updates in future or the modem not flashable to open source firmware. The modem is good as dead one generation disposable just as how they obsolete the Android phones.

Please avoid custom mobile telco branded modems, their firmware have limited support and features like band-locking, customized heavily for a specific network or purposely made to limit for use of specific 5G network of a certain country.

AVOID even if it's CHEAPER.

If there's new firmware updates from EE/3, it's for their own 5G network not for Malaysian market. They use different combination of bands compared with us and the worst thing you want is they LOCK it down to prevent their modems from being used for competitor networks if the modem is SIM unlocked.

Finally pull the trigger during 9.9 buying the TPlink NX510v to replace my old MR6400 to pair with U Home 5G, so far using it fine but before adding the router cooler fan can feel the heat radiating from the bottom part of the router around the row of LED in the front. One thing i notice tho, nowadays is kinda hard to hit around 600mbps dload speed i got when 1st using the router, it hovers around 300-350mbps recently. Could be because the amount 5G users building up i guess, welp still faster than my old 4G connection or getting a lowly 30mbps fiber, so i'm content..

Also bought the same unit for Yes 5G flexi. Highest I got is about 700mbps download and 150mbps upload with 30ms ping in Penang. I am lucky enough to got a direct line of sight to a 5g tower around 350m away.
I am not sure if you need a fan below it. It actually have a fan internally, so you might actually disrupt its air flow...
You can hear the fan when you boot it up.

The lowest price I got is about RM965.53 after vouchers and stuff on Shopee from IBN.

I got mine from IBN also, deduct vouchers and coins got it for Rm960.62 from its normal price of RM1099 in shoppee. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Well it may not need the fan but after feeling the heat already gone from where i felt it before using the cooling fan gave me a lot more confidence in having it running 24/7 non stop. thumbsup.gif

Hmm, I can torrent using Yes 5g RM58 though, without VPN. hmm.gif Though, you can use Cloudflare WARP (install the app, not just change DNS) with decent speed.

Still interested in the maxshit plan, seems like it isn't listed anywhere (yet).

Oh i see, i was using mekshit one plan b4 too for my personal usage at home bcoz i have maxis fiber on my name at my mum's place but the FUP was only 300gb and just to get 5G they told me i had to fork up another 30bucks++ to upgrade my plan to enable 5G both on my main line and supp line (router). That is without any bumping up of the FUP limitation, hence i jump to U Home 5G instead. sweat.gif sweat.gif

Eh, I was going to look for it on U Mobile site
but this plan has been silently updated to "Unlimited"?

There does seem to be a FUP of 1000GB still though

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

My guess would be you can still use it but lower priority, aka if load is high, you are one of the first to be throttled

That is why i need more opinion on this:

17. Are there any speed restrictions with U Home 5G?

We may restrict your speeds if we detect abuse or unusually high usage above 1,000GB.

Lately, quite a few times there is no 5G coverage/signal and connection dropped to 4G+.

Not sure if DNB is doing some 5G tower maintenance in certain area etc. But there is no way of knowing - if they reset or bring down certain 5G tower offline, since you will automatically goes to 4G+.

I think a lot of people didn't notice it much, since it slowed slightly to a normal 4G+ average speed of 50-60mbps from an average of 300mbps+

The big question is, if 5G is down, we complained to U, but it doesn't own the network - since it is owned and maintained by DNB. Same issue like fiber to home under jendela - where TM wholesale (aka unifi) own the overall backbone infra - and maxis fiber or other fiber operators can only do so much if there is any issues.

I've heard a lot of recommendations that for a good 5G sim router, you need to get the one with the latest Qualcomm chip inside. Any particular modem router brand to go for for this? Planning on getting one since Umobile signal at my house area is quite strong (getting close to 800MBps-ish using my 5G phone).

I see, considering this model too, since it's slightly cheaper than the ZTE modems that Umobile recommended. Btw, are u using it directly plug and play or do you lock the 5G bands?

I didn't lock the band, just let it on AUTO. So far haven't lost the 5G signal and downgraded to 4G yet even during rain.

Just curiosity from my end, anyone tried to compare deco x50 5g versus ZTE mc8020 in real world usage for signal, speed etc etc?

Understanding that ZTE mc8020 is more expensive than deco x50 5g. Is it worth the price different?
