hows changing to the Umobile broadband rm68 step went? did it finally manage to work?
because i have the same problem using the P38 on my nr5103e.....holding back from getting the broadband 68 after reading your post.

It worked for me. You have few choices now:

1. Maintain P38 but find a different 5G router that can bypass this.
2. Maintain P38 but use phone hotspot to continuously 5G.
3. Change to UHome 5G RM68 (< I did this and confirmed work)
4. Change to Yes Flexi RM58

Anyone here ditched home fibre for home wireless 5G?
I am thinking of switching from Maxis 500Mbps (RM149) to either u home 5G or Yes Flexi 5G plan..
5G signal is awesome at my place.

These tests on my phone (Xiaomi 13t) were done at my living room area.
My usage is mostly streaming movies (netflix, YT and all) and social media. Meet or Zoom calls once in a while. No gaming.

I did this change from 100Mbps fiber to UHome 5G. Previously can save more when I add sub line of 38. But now not allowed and have to spend more for UHome 5G.

1. What’s the purpose of switching? To save money? Then better go for Unifi 100Mbps RM89. I list down all the cons below.

2. Your usage describing seems ok for 5G but remember no torrent for Uhome 5G unless with VPN.

Cons:
1. Even when I get speeds of 300-400Mbps down, I can’t reach 37.5MB/s or 50MB/s. Try to do it with your phone / hotspot see if you can reach similar. Speedtest doesn’t yield same speed in downloads for me. Or use other Speedtest like with https://speed.cloudflare.com/

2. Upload speeds are horrible. You are getting maybe 20Mbps to 50Mbps max.

3. You will need to invest in a new 5G router.

4. Limited to 1000GB FUP quota. It’s tough to hit this for casual usage but not nice to have this limitation on back of your head.

5. Can’t torrent without VPN.

Note: Using Yes Flexi 5G bypass Con 4 and 5. But Yes Flexi 5G is less usable. Heard that the ping and upload speeds are worse with Yes. I hate Yes as a company and avoid them like a plague.

I've got a weird thing happening with my U Home 5G.

Anyone has any clue what's going on/fixes?

Did you confirm that U home 5G can be used in mobile phones? It might be IMEI locked.

I can confirm that Umobile Postpaid and Prepaid lines can’t be used in some 5G routers cos they are IMEI locked.

 

Change to:
| Lo-Fi Version
0.0157sec    0.76    7 queries    GZIP Disabled
