I bought it because it's cheap, now even cheaper at shopee

haha what to do, you consider guinea pig lor ... first batch buyer for seller to test market mah ...

But there are some cons such as limited modem setting, only got simply setting like wifi dhcp apn only, the dimension is really big and heavy, ports are located at under not like other modem, antenna is quite sensitive must aim directly on tower direction, slight long boot time.

pros i think is quite stable, still havent encountered auto restart, wont get hot easily even on 5g heavy download

so far satisfied despite the low price

but the settings are quite basic... can't lock the band... very heavy if you want to bring around...

it comes with AU 3 pin plug... need UK plug converter

I see. Noted on that. So does that mean I should splurge a little bit more and get Gteniq instead of the Fastmile? Modem SoC is the same on both devices, right?

Didnt regret getting this. AW1000 rocks. Also have external antenna port if coverage low ur area

But default f/w language is in Chinese right? Abit leceh have to turn on translate everytime just to navigate the settings.

Mine is openwrt, english. If urs QWRT(chinese) can always flash to openWRT

I am using Unifi Air 5G @ RM149/month.

Using the free modem given by Unifi, ZTE MC8020 (5G router). Can lock preferred bands in accordance to telco's requirement.

Speed wise, I am getting solid 300Mbps ~ 350Mbps for download and upload always hovers around 30 ~ 35Mbps. Recently I realize I couldn't torrent anymore unlike last time, quite normal for non-fiber / CGNAT case. For my requirement, I am satisfied with the speed & zero downtime since I programmed at front end aka UI administrator level of the router to reboot on daily basis.

After few days of Nokia Fastmile usage, I can confirm non-band locking is really big no-no if your area is about 3 bar 5G signal.

There's no way to re-establish 5G connection unless you reboot the router. So troublesome!

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up. Might just go all out and buy the GtenIQ then.

parl

can try also Arcadyan Aw1000 ,olax g5018 and Gteniq . all cost less than 1k and can lock band

aiming when the price is lower

Hi need ur opinion also since not that familiar with 5g modem. Compare to TPlink Nx510v and zbt Z800ax. Which one you guys recommend. On the hp 5g signal around 3 bar. Since tp link got 3 years warranty but zbt only 1 year from seller

anyone wanna sell the 5g modem?

zbt Z800ax is overprice OpenWRT 5G CPE
famous one until banned by sopie is GTENIQ
Design, hardware, software look like a same

Shenzhen Zhibotong Electronics Co., Ltd.
ShenZhen Gten Technology Co.,Ltd

warranty just one factor
huawei modem warranty 1 year but last many many years

So you recommend i go for GteniQ compare to tplink. My concern is on warranty and performance. Thanks for ur recommendation
