Hi all,

Anyone encounter such issue with Speedtest always returns 100Mbps range?

I'm using TP Link Dec X50 5G modem, after reboot the modem still no improving.

Where's if using another different U Mobile 5G sim card no issue and easily achieve 300Mbps.

You use what to speedtest? LAN? WIFI? The most accurate I think is by using your smartphone (decent ones) to test. Some LAN cable are limited to 100Mbps especially if you went through an old switch. Some laptop or mini pc wifi card is 1x1 which makes even 100Mbps is a struggle. For example, I bought a cheapo mini pc powered by Intel N100. The realtek wifi card is a pain in the ass... giving between 50-60Mbps. I tried a usb wifi dongle which I get for free and easily 150Mbps. With my Realme GT Neo 3, I get almost 500Mbps.

I'm using my phone S22+ to conduct Speedtest via WiFi6 network.
Never Speedtest anymore using LAN cable anymore since i have already setup Wifi Mesh entire house.

You are connecting through mesh when doing speedtest? Not all mesh are created equal.

Yes, I connected to my modem unit TP Link X50 directly utilising WiFi6 network which also a paired with a unit Mesh located upstairs above.

Anyway my point here is why the difference so obvious with 2 different sim card Speedtest inserted into X50 5G modem.

I'm puzzled as the modem latched to same 5G transmission tower and same B28+n78 frequency.

Well, havent you heard of the rumors from those years when they claimed Maxis speed > Hotlink? Its just like how some reported that they cant use the internet when inserting the broadband sim into their phone or inserting the smartphone plan sim into the router. I see no surprise here.

What is more interesting is what you get from which plan. Why dont you share your findings?

I have 2 sim card both from U Mobile, Postpaid 38 and UHome5G.
The findings i have to narrow down testing with X50 5G modem swapping sim card in between:

Postpaid 38 is uncapped able to reach 300Mbps (120GB quota limit) + hotspot enabled.
While UHome5G always hovering around 100Mbps. (1TB quota limit)

Bare in mind both sim card FUP utilisation not yet exceed limit.

Speedtest local telco server is uncapped.
test with telco own speedtest

4G+ and 5G should get pass 100mbps speed
new modem ?
report to seller.

The modem is fine and not faulty, i suspect is the provider speed capped my UHome 5G sim card.

Interesting... I was thinking the other way around. I thought smartphone plan would be throttle on the router instead. Location?

Im getting 500Mbps these day, up from 300Mbps on the lousy ZTE router that I modded with 2 fans and still hang regardless. Im so satisfied with the X50 5G that I bought another one for my office.

BTW, what is the firmware you are running on the X50 5G?

My location around Equine, Seri Kembangan side nearby.
My X50 5G modem firmware already up to date (official firmware update directly the modem itself via Deco app).

Did you set specific configuration on your X50 5G modem?
