For these Yes or U, do they have test unit to try if my place got line or not? if after subscription then found out coverage poor then how?

I am looking for wireless 5G stationed at 1 place, not for phone.

Poor for Celcom 4G almost no line, phone call will break. no 5G.
ok for Digi 4G but must be fixed on 2600Mhz, if connected to 1800Mhz then poor. 5G signal is poor.
Moderate for Maxis.

To be used at putrajaya high level building. Ground floor everything is strong 5G full bar but on high level the signal becomes poor.

Without test unit then cannot confirm the modem will get good signal or not...

Just put an order for RM58 package to try out. if not getting 5G then will cancel it. I wonder how to register new user, either the website or app can't register. Is that only with yes simcard then only can register?

The email is sent by them after having sim card? i just can't figure out how to register now. on app 1st page is "new user" and "log in". under new user cannot find how to register...

Received the simcard and finally done the registration. it works on my tablet & phone, but no signal on ZTE MU5002 mobile router donno what happened. reset the router also won't work. I see youtube someone used MU5001 and works with Yes, how come not working on 5002. difference is only LAN port between 2 models.

Anyone using Deco X50-5G router for Yes?

yay thanks. performance ok ka? The size is too big hard to hide in the office. need to hide under the desk and steal steal pull external antenna to get the signal. mobile router would be easy but donno why my ZTE MU5002 just refused to work with Yes5G can't even get 4G.

I use this in the office because office wifi has firewall many places cannot go. But this router size is too obvious so i need to find way to hide it from IT dept and only pull long wired external antenna to get the signal. with built in antenna I can get about 250mbps with 5G, but the signal is not strong enough sometimes dropped to 4G about 40mbps.

Just found out TPlink X50-5G can lock the band! wow this feature is not found in many other brands. Now i can lock to 5G band NR78 and will not (hopefully) switch to 4G anymore. Superb.

****UPDATE****
Nope it doesn't lock the band, it is just for display purpose. No meaning at all

The reason to lock the 5G band is to prevent it from switching to 4G band and dropped to 4G. When both 4G and 5G signals are available, the router will switch to stronger signal that it "thinks" better. In my case 5G only 3 bars but working better than 4 bars 4G.

On my X50-5G only has 2 options. 5G preferred and 4G only. No 5G only , i wish there is. Firmware 1.10 b20230804 r3600

I am buying a pair of external antenna that works only on 3300-3500Mhz N78 instead of full band antenna, see whether it can stay on 5G or not.

From taobao https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=547036800062

5G is connected now, band showing B28,N78

If only N78 signal is available, will our SNA 5G work?

Ouch, i received the antenna, but couldn't install it. Just found out X50-5G uses a rare connector that 90% antenna in the market won't fit. Need to find special converter zzz...
Look at the pin, usually should be hole. No wonder how i screw also cannot go in, male vs male of course lah...

rp-sma antenna difficult to find, even if got also not the type we want. easier to buy normal sma + converter.

Hmm... this TPlink X50-5G product is not impressive, the ping is terrible compared to my old Netgear M1 mobile router. Exactly same simcard at same location at same band, M1 4G ping is so stable in the range of 20-30ms. the TPLink fixed at 4g or 5G ping is always fluctuating like share market between 30->100. Both connected by LAN.

The Netgear product is however damn expensive, such small device with limited function the price is 4x TPlink...

Both are Qualcomm chipset, but implementation level is different. I have a ZTE MU5002 mobile router, performs terrible also in term of ping (connected by LAN), using Qualcomm chipset as well.

just ordered U home to compare with the Yes that i hv been using for 1 month. Hopefully can get more stable 5G. Currently with tplink x50 the 5G will drop to 4G and i have to restart it until i get 5G again.

Yes becoz the 5G signal is not strong. but recently i found a place that can get 4 bars, so it stays on 5G signal now. Speed no difference around 200-250mbps download, but upload only 10mbps

U have good and steady ping at my place, but no 5G. Yes ping is terrible, but there is 5G and download speed is 200mbps. Best is Digi but there is no cheap package.

At my place Yes is fluctuating between 20-90ms. U is stable 20-30, digi also same stable.

This has something to do with the modem/router using also. different modem diff ping result with exactly same simcard at exactly same spot.

For TPLink X50-5G, the wireless connection 5HZ is default to 160Mhz. Since then i have problem with whatsapp call, always disconnected, router is just 2m away. Ping sometimes spike high a bit but i don't see how it can affect whatsapp call, and download, speedtest is good. Today after switching to 80Mhz seems whatsap call is good now.
YES ping by itself is not good even with LAN, so this multiplies with the 160Mhz could be making thing worse. Never expect this kind of problem before
