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.

Another choice for 5G. Brand was unknown to me before but sports Qualcomm chip.

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.

Not even the EE/Three branded Zyxel modems?

Does anyone know the kind of sim slot contacts of the Zyxel 3/EE modem? Is it durable - can withstand frequent simcard changes?

For the Three branded NR5103, can I use the Zyxel Air app, or is there a specific app from Three I need to use?

A bit offtopic but somewhat related - has anyone ever tried the U40 prepaid plan in the 5G Zyxel modem? Does it work?

Sigh. My Zyxel suddenly hung itself after 6 days.
While I can log in, none of the menu settings would work. Had to perform a hard reboot.

Anyone face this situation with the Zyxel?

EE or 3? Firmware version?

3 with f/w: RG500LEUACR04A01M1G_OCPU_BNX_50.001.50.001

My brother who is also using the same Zyxel but on EE, also had the same issue. All lights on. Menu not responding, Had to hard reset.
But his line was DC'ed earlier than mine. He had his DC at around 1230H ... he's staying in PJ.

Mine DC'ed at around 1430H, Damansara... odd thing going on... tongue.gif

Mine is 3 too. Can you get the firmware version as presented in the mainpage after you logged onto the router management page?

There is a recent firmware update (OTA) .

Mine has been rock steady never rebooting except when I choose to. 5G DC very rare - once or twice.

I'm in Southern Ipoh by the way.

Yeah, same here. Mine is the "3" model bought from Taobao. My only complaint is the size. laugh.gif

Same. Bought the "3" model off Shopee during a sale (Got it for RM520 - earlier managed to get it for RM490 during a sale but Shopee stupid payment system kept the payment pending until after the sale is over mad.gif bangwall.gif )

I have since bought the Olax G5010 for use at office - surprisingly able to get and maintain 5G signal even indoor at an area about 1km outside official coverage - same area has very weak 4G coverage. Speed not bad too peaking at around 150Mbps
