Gais I just got the Zyxel 3UK (well it is not ori Zyxel for sure) and there seems to be some issues. I bought from a Shopee seller with the guarantee that if not ori can refund. But anyway I don't really care much if ori, u get what u pay for and as long as it works I'm ok.
Currently testing the unit to check its capabilities with my UMobile SIM (normal postpaid cellular).
Problems:
1. Cannot lock on to 5g-NSA ONLY. Only have these options below. What is the point of the 3UK router if it auto switches and I cannot lock to pure 5G??? I have chosen B28 and N78 cos I have no choice. Is this device broken or modified or something?
2. I speedtested and normal Ookla was 450 Mbps. However Cloudflare only gave 258 Mbps (which is maybe considered "true" speed). But on my Samsuck A phone, I could previously get 650 Mbps from the same SIM card. So I effectively lost about 200 Mbps.
Please note that I am right beside a 5G tower. Like maybe less than 100m away. So it's not the tower. Is it possible that speed will reduce during afternoon? My 650Mbps speed was at 3 am lol.
Cloudflare result:
Ookla result:
This is how close I am:
3. I have reason to believe the device given to me is not new. I found scratch marks in the SIM as well as reset slot. Furthermore when I tried to login admin, the default password was denied so I had to hard reset the device. Before the unit was sent to me, the seller said they were "testing" the device before sending. I know this is one way sellers try to hide that it's not a new unit, but I'm not sure if all these things that I noticed make the case that it is a returned unit. I AM still paying full normal market price even if it is OEM lor.
4. Why are my stats so low? RSRP -54? Shouldnt it be -80? Especially considering I am right beside the tower????? Are the other stats ok?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIFUS!
Zykel 5G modems are not recommend since it's performance is not that good, the power of this modem to pull 5G signals are not that good. It is even worse when use the built in wifi function of that modem. Currently testing the unit to check its capabilities with my UMobile SIM (normal postpaid cellular).

Since you have purchased it, I would suggest you to disable the built the wifi and use an external router connected via ethernet cable. This helps with performance a bit.
If have a budget I would suggest getting Huawei , ZTE 5G modems. Although it cost RM1k above but good quality and performance.
