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.

yes can lock.
May i ask, U Home 5G is using which band that can offer best 5G speed?
*
4G : 1,3,7 and 28 (a must)

5G : N77, 78 (as I was reading from FB groups)

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

Mind to share any recommended chipset or phone that have strong signal?
*
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.

Ya, my 5g bar is always full, but my speed is around 80-100mbps only.
Just now seller replied to me, saying speed is not under their control, and the antenna is helpful only if my 5g coverage is not strong. So no need to buy it.

Internet still can be used, but not syiok. I see others can go to 200-500mbps.
*
If you swap the sim card to your 5G phone, what kind of speed can you get ? This is the only way to compare and tell if your modem has issue.

My Yeacomm is quite good, easily hit 300 mbps with 5G RSRP at -91dbm.

Yeacomm is using cheaper Mediatek T750 5G modem instead of Snapdragon X55?

Also costs double the price?
*
I bought it 6 months ago, back then less variety available. But if I look at the end result, no complain at all.

Qualcomm or Mediatek whatnot is not important, it the end result that is important.

Hi,
I just bought an OEM 5G modem and not sure why I cant get 5G signal even I changed IMEI already.  Is that umobile also check on TTY ?
Thank you
*
OEM 5G modem, if you are talking those price below RM300, most probably they are the 4G LTE modem which has 5G wifi connectivity wink.gif

Worth it? It costs almost twice with latest batch of Snapdragon X55 modems on sale.

I can't tell if that is worth it, for me just bite the bullet and enjoy the high speed.

I read in a (5G modem) FB group before my own purchase, whereby most users (back then) were using Yeacomm and the connection they shared / showed had been impressive. Range from 500mbps to more than 1000mbps.

Haih mafanlo. Sleek sexy unit. But yes, it’s very very crap. I have to place it upstairs because downstairs can’t get 5G. I bought the X50 mesh unit. Waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully it works. I want to retire the ASUS AC86U. But honestly the ASUS is a beast.
Shopee return guarantee. Best part seller never say much cause he knows he’s selling lemon units. And I can prove it la, same SIM inside X50-5G the speed is 10x faster. 60 mbps vs 600 mbps.
Upload is slow. Not important for me. Check? I compare to the speed I can get on my iPhone on the same network. If your phone get 200 down and 15 up… don’t la expect the modem router can exceed that speed by much.

X50-5G unit is small and sleek. Looks like a nice ornament and not the usual router with antennas.

Deco X50-5G, an expensive modem / router ?

Thank you! Yes both have coverage in my area cos it's very near to central KL area. It also has full 5G in my hometown of Johor, I know cos I am a UM user for their postpaid line and the speed is DAMN good on my phone, like 350-450 mbps.

YES package i read the max speed of the device is capped at 120 Mbps and also it throttles the speed of other telcos' SIM cards.

Also it seems it's a pretty crappy cheap china model whose price has been marked up significantly so I would prefer to be able to find a 5g router that will work nicely with any SIM.
*
I have been using both umobile 5G and YES 5G sim since 5-6 months ago, at my areas they are the same coz both telco share the same communication towers from DNB.

The key difference I noticed is that with YES I can download torrent file, without the need of VPN. Umobile cannot download torrent.

I have read it from other post too, Zyxel NR5103E is not a very good modem though comes with Qualcomm chip.

My Yeacomm 5G modem is quite fast, though with Mediatek chip.

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.

There had been some hit-and-miss connection speed and feedback on NR5103e 5G modem. Some users couldn't get good speed while few others reported to get 500-600mbps.

My question is, if you plug in the sim card to any other 5G phone at the same spot, do you get better speed ? If yes it should be modem 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.

With your budget of RM300 maximum you can only get 4G modem (with 5Ghz) wifi speed. But you are likely to get 30-50mbps speed which is a waste for the U home 5G.

Yes 5G and U home 5G are using the same DNB signal tower, would you consider signing up for YES package of RM99 per month with free 5G modem ?

Hi, i am using Nokia fastmile 5g. I got the 5g coverage with green signal. But the speed i got only around 30-60Mbps.

Is there any setting i need to adjust in the modem?

Have you already locked the Band ?

4G => B28
5G => N78

The thing is I seldom torrent.  Maybe once in a few months for a file or 2...
But the problem with this umobile is it's ZERO connections. If it's like throttled speed I still can accept. But it's totally zero. Sigh...

Is there any browser type of torrent client or plug in ? Opera browser itselt contains free VPN so we can do it.

planning to get uhome with the router (24 months contract). but after reading last 5 pages of this topic, I think I'll settle with modified zlt x28 or aw1000 or tplink x50. still undecided until now. my maxis fibre contract will end this July, woohoo.

zlt x28 - modified, super cheap rm500+ only, got beta hotspot bypass mod (so can even just use yes prepaid rm30 monthly)

aw1000 - faster chipset, modified, can lock band, sadly no hotspot bypass yet (if it does this will be perfect choice for me), plan to use contract free umobile / yes sim

x50 - fast chipset, firmware lock not able to modified yet, but best official support from tplink + hassle free setup if I want to do mesh with other tplink deco

I'll keep researching & will buy a router in July. anyway, is there any other 5g router that able to bypass hotspot & price <1.2k other than zlt x28? tks.
*
Why not just use Yeacomm 5G modem, I have used it since middle of last year, super FAST, and can bypass hotspot quota. Using Yes postpaid since then smile.gif

Is the free router from Umobile good enough? If I don't mind the meshing and bypass quota.

I would think so, since the package allows you to use quite unlimited data, except no torrent.

When it all started, i could get around 600mbps from my modem placement using the same modem, nowadays with more and more 5G users using the network, my Uhome 5G speed stuck around 250-300mbps only..  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Anything more than 200mbps is good enough la, don't forget you only pay a peanut for the 5G package wink.gif

Be contended with what you get.
