Just got today the latest model of Huawei Optixstar HG8145X6-10 from Time Fiber. Check online, and found no one using this. I guess I'm the first person who received this from Time Fiber. The outlook design and antenna is newer look.

This is the result for next room, behind the wall.

Wired backhaul supported, connected from my Tplink AX73

did time offer it as a free replacement?

Not sure but it's given to all new install

Looks nice. Always like Huawei mobile broadband devices.

Never use their wifi product yet though.

Somehow there's hardly any in depth reviews on units like this?

Anyone knows how to disable the WPS?

The wps setting doesn't shows up in the wlan configuration page at 192.168.100.1/

I just installed Time broadband 500mbps today.
Can Original Huawei HG8145X6-10 use ethernet backhaul to connect 2nd mesh unit?
Anyone tried before ?

The installer pair the 2nd router using wireless signal.
Do I need to make any changes on the main router if I connect 2nd mesh unit via ethernet backhaul?

i got this pair of mesh/router but i plan to buy my own router and use 2 of them as mesh, just wondering how can i set them up?

I tested the 2nd unit so called mesh enabled router is actually not implementing wireless mesh protocol 802.11k/v/r.
It is just a wireless AP or wired AP, i.e., if connected to main router via ethernet cable.
I placed the main router at level 2 and placed the 2nd unit at level one. Both having same WiFi SSID.
I connect to the level 1 SSID and go up to the level 2. My device forever attach to the level 1 SSID.
It will never switch to level 2 SSID seamlessly like other mesh router.
Unless you choose to connect level 2 SSID manually then only it connects to level 2 SSID.
Therefore, the 2nd unit router given definitely not a mesh unit. It is actually acting as a wireless AP.

TIME marketing team is misleading the subscriber with the term "mesh".
In networking term, wireless mesh means a network element that implements 802.11k/v/r protocol.

thanks for the test, now i know how it wors lol but since got it why not use it, i am just now sure how to set them up only as wireless AP if i get new router. i guess just connect LAN cable to the fake "mesh" and access 192.168.100.1 to the page and setup as wireless ap then?

Hi, I would like to retreat my statement that Huawei Optixstar HG8145X6-10 not implementing 802.11k/v/r protocol.
My previous test showed that my device didn't switch between SSID from main router and 2nd router due to default setting of the
Cascade Link Threshold value is too low, i.e., 200kbps.
Meaning that if the device's data transfer rate lower than 200kbps then it will switch to another SSID that is stronger.
After I increased the cascade link threshold from 200kbps to 40000kbps, my device able to switch between main router and 2nd mesh unit's SSID seamlessly.

Conclusion is Huawei Optixstar HG8145X6-10 is compliant to Easymesh and able to switch between SSID seamlessly.

how do u access this advance page?

i couldnt see this in my menu

Same here. Could it be he has the password for superadmin?

For me on HG8145X6

Advanced -> WLAN -> Wi-Fi Coverage -> Wi-Fi Network Management button on the page under the first checkmark
