Am planning to get one 5G Sim Card router but not many choices in market..Umobile recommends ZTE and they cost RM1500 to 1700.

4G LTE Sim routers are less than RM300.

cuz 5g sim router still new?

Buy the 4g dulu lah, later 5g mature more competitor products then baru upgrade

5g more patent licensing compared to 4g one. cost sure higher

Got sub 1000 ones.

Buy Poco 5g phone. Used can get 300. Use hotspot

Can share link please?

economy of scale

Because still new. No demand.

Do join whirlpool forum. I learned many networking stuff from there.

Phone > router > home devices

just buy a cheap 5G phone and use it as hotspot
No difference kan?

phone can connect to router? cable or wifi repeater mode?
ive simply look at the website u show, didnt write about connecting phone with router pon

Buy 5G router use in indoor will get 4G anyway …dont waste money …

Router wifi can go further than phone hotspot … if wanna use it to replace home fibre should get router.

Just bought a FourFaith (yeecomm) 5g router arounnd rm950 at Shopee/Lazada. So far so good.
Around Batu Maung area, Penang.

Can go as high as 1.6Ghz. But average around 800-900Mbps.

Attached thumbnail(s)

my house fully 5g.
duno what shit place u lived 😄

5G got quota?

that's a good idea , thought of subscribing the umobile 5g home plan , modem is expensive

Not yet as of now.

Nope. It's just because it's new

What simcard used?

depend how deep u go or place that router/phone at

1st layer of wall is fine
after the 2nd one, you'll see it start jumping already

even my middle room got 5g

mine doesn't
only 1st wall can...the 2nd wall which is just right next to me right now...this wall isn't even 100% covered...just bottom half, top half is empty
but once i cross that wall, that 5G disappear

if your whole house have 5G meaning that tower is really near to u to get that kind of coverage(so near u can see it)

5G in malaysia has very limited range

Connect phone to router via USB cable. You need a router with USB port. On the phone, enable USB tethering.

which telco?

some 5G modem actually using phone chipset.

just buy a used 5G phone, then remove battery and direct power supply to board, easy and safe.

can connect to tv to play games especially emulator at same time.

mine serve as android POS system while hotspot giving connection to CCTV, the best and perfect decision.

sure that work? even the website only write for usb cellular device. not sure if usb tethering considered as usb cellular device or not.

Yes. I've been doing that for more than 10 years.

dunno where u find it that cheap but so far Poco M3 pro 5G used one is around rm450

All telcos are on the same DNB infra. As long 5g dont have speedcap & quota they should work thr same.

Check out 'Poco m3 pro 5g', available at RM230 on #Carousell: https://carousell.com/p/1228212513

200+ also got. Just crack screen but if use for hotspot no big deal

Dueeee want so many more function pay for it la complain 5g router expensive for what. Mau feature tapi tak mau bayar.

questionable ad - no pic of device when switch on
0 rating seller
seller in Pontian, Johor

nope. not worth my time.

pls dont layan that troll

those are not even special function.
how do u know what kind of function ts need before you recommended such low class solution?

What the 5g means is 5ghz WiFi, not 5G. Support of course can support, just get 4G LTE speeds only. Shopee seller most of the time very blur and no need bear responsibility with what they say.

literally faster than unifi

foooyuh...can be so misleading

good 4G multi-bands router is RM800....u dreaming ah TS

please lah kena cheat before

Wifi also no 5g
cellular also no 5g

just label 5g

i currently using yeacomm nr330 5g router

bought @ rm950 only

penipu scammer!!

Obviously the price I mentioned for less than RM300 is a basic 4G LTE router like the TP Link ones you can easily find in Shoppee. I never mention it was good 4G multi-bands.

get 5g phone, type c to ethernet converter & a cheap rm30 switch but can only get 100mbps even on 5g

I got one Yeacomm too, very happy with it. On Lzd I got it for RM918, about 2 weeks ago.

A 5G phone + a modem with USB port already cost closed to RM1k easily is it ? Then better just go for a proper 5G CPE modem.

The router is only RM100.

pm

Go to lowyat Plaza, see if u can find those old TPLink 802.11N routers from sricomp.

Whats the cheapest 5g phone?

No point buying 5G router, when 1. Malaysia is not fully supported on 5G.
I give it until 2025 it will stabilize and release.

There are multiple variants of 5G.
5G mmWave in the US. And Malaysia is some sort of "C-Band" spectrum of 5G, or atleast what I heard in 2021 during my internship at Huawei.

Hi manx, do you have the seller link for the 5G router you bought? i tried to search but most of them cost around 1300RM.

When using this "type c to ethernet converter", the phone gets charge or not?

Ghz on speed?

ZTE MU5120 RM1.6k at Shopee

Portable 5G router.
Can function as 18W powerbank as well.
10,000mAh battery ~16hours operation.

Very useful if you travel a lot.

Hi, I bought from Amirul Pro Tech. Just checked and the price now is RM1299 😔


Alamak... typo la brader. Sorry 🙏🏼.
