hi sifus,
just took umobile 5g together with the ZTE MC888s router black color(contract for 2 years) yesterday.
so far been testing almost a day, and the nearest 5G tower is just behind my house, about ~100m, direct LoS.
but average speedtest i get is <150Mbps DL, 20Mbps UL at my parents' house in Klang area.
i checked the speedtest pattern,
afternoon - got ~130Mbps
evening - ~25Mbps
midnight - ~35Mbps
latency wise, ~30-50ms.
this is very unacceptable. But i could easily get ~500Mbps at my home in Jitra kedah or Penang though via ZTE MU5120 5G portable router ( i have another U5G simcard).
all settings are by default, except i changed the wifi password of course.
so I was thinking to buy another 5G router on shopee.
so Zyxel 3UK NR5103E v2 comes to mind. This one using Qualcomm or Mediatek chip ya?
Saw TPLink X50 5G but the price is kinda steep.
Didn't want to terminate to pay the penalty obviously. So i just continue using this package like normal.
i shall make the ZTE MC888s as a spare router in case i could use this better at other places using my another U5G simcard.
yeah thats the problem with 5g and wireless networks in general. promised speed is never accurate.
when 5g was new maybe you can get the minimum 200mbps touted by the isps, my now it is very congested, especially in an area like klang .
when i first tried at my home in 2022, i could easily get 1gbps.
now i am lucky if can hit 200mbps at night, and about 80 in the day.
it is faster if i switch to my maxis 4g connection lol. you should try that too
im just happy i did not cancel my gigabit fibre for this farce
