The modem is faulty.

5G YES full bar on my iPhone 13
The modem lock to b28 & n78 stuck in 4G mode only. Speed also max 60mbps down.

The modem is a returned unit that shipped to me because the admin password was already changed and I need to reset. lenkdtal not honest seller, so main tikam only.

Lucky thing Shopee can return.

You bought from lenkdtal as well?

Thanks to people who contributed to this thread, read everything and learned all I need here. No need to spoon feed, now I can talk like I am expert lol.

Going to switch all my fixed fibre for myself and my fam to YES 5G, luckily all got coverage.

First Zytel typo Zyxel 3 unit I got, faulty scam unit, it was a return unit and seller just send it back out.

Connected to b28 but will never get 5G speed only 4G using Yes 58. But interesting thing is that it didn’t use the 100GB 4G quota despite connected as 4G.

Changed to X50-5G, get 600 mbps easy.

That being said the X50 WiFi signal is rubbish, I guess that’s how they sell you the mesh nodes. My ASUS AC86U easily cover my whole house. The X50 WiFi is joke sia.

Time to cut my cheapo maxis RM89 home broadband.

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.

I won’t call it expensive. I get it around circa RM860. It’s an all in one and real 5G with Snapdragon chip inside, not some rubbish china chip. Same chip as iPhone yo! Ok end fanboy. I trust it for reliability, same as now iPhones been reliable and stable.

I gave Zyxel a chance. It’s hit or miss main tikam, waste my time.

Sounds like the NX510v has better WiFi than the X50 series! X50-5G i place in my bedroom. Go in toilet, the speed slower by 1/5. lol.

Remember ya my AC86U downstairs, in upstairs toilet I still get 1/3 speed.

Shit now you all know my secret. I browse LYN when I shit.

Haha you buy at RM1100 it’s expensive lah
Come I sell you BNIB 3 years warranty RM860

Forget about the Zyxel.
Oh ya the app for X50 super easy to use. Going to deploy one for my parents and I can easily manage it remotely.

No need to try, 5G doesn’t work. If cannot return then you’re stuck with a 4G router modem for RM500. Like I said, main tikam lo.

I’m not a seller or shop or retailer. Just a user with lubang.

Whole point I’m in this tered is to get 5G. Not main tikam and maybe get 5G. Going through this tered, some success and some fail so 50/50. And also the concern, how long before it fails?

Mine says hi. AC86U really is the best bargain ever. Still going strong after all these years.

I dunno man
I don’t own any china routers

What I can confirm is the AC86U is better than the tplink router given by maxis in coverage and stability. And better in speed and stability than the Huawei router and mesh combo by Time for 500mbps package.

My impression of ASUS router is better than TPLINK ones.

Sadly the X50-5G cannot turn off the WiFi... it's a really dumb down UI with convenient apps but you cannot tweak anything. So I can only hide the ssid, and stick to using my Asus router. I guess Deco X50 series is all about its mesh technology and ease of use.

Can NX510v turn off wifi and be passthrough mode only?

Right now setup my cheap Asus router to be AiMesh downstairs for better coverage, but speed is only around 260mbps. Upstairs where the X50-5G and Asus AC86U is can get 500mbps.

Anyway, it is a good upgrade coming from RM89 Maxis Fiber 30mbps lol. So far so good, the network is really stable.

Very stupid to setup. Don't follow their instructions. Just use ethernet cable and plug into LAN on the AiMesh main router and WAN on the AiMesh node. And then add from there. Trying to set it up wirelessly fails 100% of the time for me.

Interesting feedback regarding congestion and network issues requiring restart of the modem.

I’ve used my X50-5G for two months now. Very stable & consistent with YES 5G. I brought it to Penang mainland for a weekend trip, and I love how it just works — but best to place somewhere near window. Penang’s speed was slower at around 200mbps. Still 5G but I guess signal not as strong. My own place DSL upstairs 500mbps, downstairs no 5G.

Just brought the same unit over to my parent’s place and deployed it there. Parent’s place double story, downstairs can get 600mbps. Cutting the Maxis fiber there as well. Now I can monitor their network remotely using the Deco app.

After cloudwan’s feedback that the NX510v can turn off WiFi, bought that unit for my own use, since I will be using my ASUS routers and AiMesh. Tmr gotta go to a YES store and pick up the sim.

I’ve got one bnib X50-5G to let go below market price <RM900. And a bnib X50 node to let go as well after deciding to try the NX510v. I am not a trader, just backside itchy want to switch. Who interested hmu. Fcfs one unit saja.

To be fair I don’t think a NX510v/x50-5G is any faster than a properly working Zyxel. Just that the sellers are mixing lemons and it’s a hit or miss. I pity people who bought it thinking it is 5G when it’s faulty. The Zyxel I got connected to 5G (YES did not deduct the 100GB for 4G connection) but my speed was stuck at 4G, never exceeding ~120mbps. Same YES sim in same location gave me 500mbpss with X50-5G.

But your 100mbps dl speed seems to be weak. Did you test 5G on your mobile and what speed it get? I use phone as a benchmark to compare. If your phone can get 300mbps at the same spot as the Zyxel, then you can throw the Zyxel out the window.

Asked my friend to go subscribe for the YES RM99 w/modem 1 year contract promo. RM299 upfront.

Seems like modem out of stock. Wow. Very laku. Hopefully no network congestion impacting the speed.

I think it's some China OEM rebrand. But doesn't seem like its WiFi performance is any good from review.

Not sure if YES sim-locked it.

Anyway, considering all 5G is provisioned by DNB now, any reason to choose U Mobile over this YES Flexi RM58? I understand if you're stuck with 4G then U's offering is unlimited and YES is capped at 100GB, but otherwise why pay additional RM10 a month.

Go for it.

I terminated 2 x Maxis RM89 package in 2 different locations. That was the 30mbps DL. Now running YES Flexi for both sites. 200mbps speed easy downstairs from router. Next to router ~400mbps. UL is 50mbps best. Usually hovering around 20mbps but I don't need much UL speed.

The only problem seems to be heat. My 2nd location is very hot and humid, and the X50-5G would need to be restarted everyday. NX510v needs to be restarted less, but happens to both. I wonder if I disable the WiFi would it be less hot, and use a normal router for WiFi duties.

Sadly the TP-Link twins do not have a USB port so I cannot easily add a fan for it.

Standalone, NX510v has a wider wifi coverage versus X50-5G. I think if you do not need/want mesh, NX510v is better, but it also costs more.

No downtime so far almost 3 months. Just occasionally need to restart the CPE. My normal location, restart maybe once a week. The hot and humid location almost everyday.

Not the CPE’s fault. X50-5G operating temperature is 40C ya as per spec. My location is easily 40C. No airflow and radiant heat.

Don’t take my feedback out of context and say it sucks 😂

I got a silly question, is the 5G router placed in an area that is hot (no AC) or confined space?

I ask because both my TPLink nx510v and x50-5G will have such issue when it is in a very hot area. High humidity and right behind the wall facing west sun. Basically it is overheating. The manual says operating temp is up to 40C… given the weather these days and the heat generated by the router itself I am pretty sure it is beyond 40C already.

Solution is just buy a 120mm fan plugged into USB charger and put the router on it.

home onwer, my parents, don't want to see cables running around ruining the aesthetics of their home. no choice lor. I have no say.

How’s your AW1000 so far?

My X50-5G also have overheating issues every 3 or 4 days. so I bought an external fan and put on top, no more problems.

Hey guys

Is the mc888s still shit after firmware upgrade?

I was using YES 5G since Dec 2023. It used to be fast at home, easily 200-300mbps but starting last month the speed dropped to max 40mbps — while my Maxis and Unifi mobile on my phone still hitting 400mbps easy.

Escalated to YES support but they didn’t do anything, didn’t even respond. So I just submit termination. Cheap but not usable, waste of money.

Hi5
I’m also using NX510v
I prefer its smaller height can fit in my cabinet

Got a used Deco X50-5G for sale, cause cannot fit in my cabinet lol. But X50 easier to manage using the Deco apps lah versus NX510v. Shoutout to blacktubi review. I bought the cheap three UK Zyxel but got a used lemon unit, lucky refund. Then pissed off I bought both NX510v and x50-5G.. both damn strong pull signal and stability.

I went and look at FB groups and OMG the ZTE 5G router really get cussed badly. Got fella get 300mbps speed but the router restart every 15~20 minutes. That’s crazy.
