You just have to avoid putting it next to a wall since 5g signal has poor wall penetration. Put it next to a window.

You need to turn the 2nd router into AP mode if you want to use the wifi function.

I think is not necessary, I had test run before signed bundle modem at my phone and B618 and result is acceptable. The key is the bundle modem is.... not so....well.

After sign up with bundle modem. Each time I had captured bundle modem, phone and B618 speedtest results to UM customer service and they will said no problem on tower/my area. Then UM CS will dispatch new router to me. (Of cause MUST logged with MCMC).

The strong point is my entry level 5G phone able get average 200mbps all time at most of spot of my home. For the bundle modem I did used 10feet ladder trying every indoor location, moving modem inch to inch, step by step, up and down and turn a round to get best B28 and N78 signal strength and SINR. Once moment it able get >100mbps, next moment the signal strength unchanged but performance will drop below 10mbps.
Even at B618 locked B28 only the performance better than UM's modem.

Meantime, I also tested 5G WIFI only and linked external WIFI AP 5G only(Include different LAN cable). The result remain same.

Sometime I always question "mana wire pasang salah". Exchange the upload speed with download speed, at least I can run some thing.

That is true:
The MCMC is also setting a minimum standard for 5G, requiring each carrier to have a download throughput that averages at least 100Mbps. On the minimum upload speed, the MSQoS requires an average of 5Mbps for standalone 5G and 3Mbps for non-standalone 5G.

But when it drops below 100, can we then complain?

Sadly, though, there's also nothing about DC's?

Consistent speed is not the issue. I am fully aware of the pros and cons of a wireless broadband connection comparedto fibre broadband. What concern me was the sudden apparent drop of speed connection which is now "consistently" at the speed well below the norm and it is just not UM only, it involves other telcos too both home wireless broadband and mobile 5G

Came across this in Shopee (Dlink 5G Router):

Is uhome still a good subscribe?

Looking for router because read the provided router so many heat issue and restart.

Also quiet pricey 5G router lol

Im exactly in the same boat then. How much is your ping? Im gaming most days and thats the concern

I just gotten my U Home 68 bundled with ZTE MC888S and I'm just terrified to be getting this speed, 5G with 2 bars only... Meanwhile on my phone I can get 60Mbps on 4G. Is this really a router issue?

I have tried both. Kaon is worse signal reception than ZTE. Kaon using mod firmware specifically for Umobile. Can't unlock at all.

ZTE can still be unlocked if you have the code.

don't look at the price, look at what chipset it's using is way more important

Lol nonid sell lah, just keep it as backup, plus the UM router cannot use any other SIM except for Uhome5G iianm, last time i tried putting in my maxis and UM prepaid it won't connect.. Cipet   

Just curious, if NX200 is able to lock band?
