Looking for options for a new budget 5g modem as my VN007+ is facing a weird problem
Previously I was using it at 4G only area, and manage to reach 50-80Mbps download on U Home 5G
Now I’ve transferred to a city with 5G coverage, but only manage to average 30-50Mbps download and upload on speedtest.
I know it’s not the sim problem because using the same card with Olax MF650 gets me minimum 250Mbps download on speedtest as well.
And a weird thing is after i perform factory reset on the VN007+, the speedtest can reach 270Mbps, but only for about 5 minutes 
In the meantime using my UHome 5G with the MF650

Currently looking at Nokia Fastmile 3 (saw it listed as under 500 recently on shopee)
And NX200

Any suggestion on which to use?
Hi. Do you know what chipset does the nx200 use?
Currently using Olax MF650, pretty happy with its battery life and speed. Size is also very portable and lightweight
Only disadvantage I can think of is that the battery is not easily replaceable

It's already connected to 28/78, but still gives the handicapped speed. Unfortunately VN007+ doesn't have band lock function

didn't state but should be mediatek t750, if u have doubt then take x50-5g, it uses snapdragon x62.

you need superadmin login then can open band lock options include imei change.

yeah, hence I've been looking at Nokia Fastmile 3, seems like best bang-for-the-buck option currently
the superadmin login option seems like requiring to use ADB access etc? might only have time to do that after raya

Currently using TPLink Deco X50 5G with YES simcard. First week was good, can get 400mbps inside house. Recently drop to 4G and sometimes no connection. Not sure whether its the simcard problem or the router problem.

Anyone using 5G broadband in a condo? Any recommendations for a modem with decent connection strength? What about external antennas? Any success using them to boost the signal enough for a good connection?

Currently staying at around the equivalent to the 18th-20th floor (condo is on elevated ground/hill). Getting decent 5G reception (5/5bars; ~100++ - 200++mbps) via a Zyxel NR5103E and its internal antennas.

When using the same SIM (Yes 5G) on my phone, its only able to get 4G so the modem is likely doing the heavylifting. The phone's own Maxis sim is able to get a 5G connection though at lower speeds (~50mbps - below 100mbps) vs 300-500+mbps at ground level.

So in addition to the relatively high floor, there is also the problem with Yes 5G's poorer connection..  Was thinking of adding the antennas since the NR5103E supports it and it would be more cost effective than getting another 5G modem.

For condo if you staying high floors, 5G is almost guaranteed to be weak. That's because the antenna used by telcos are usually pointing slightly downwards.

You can use an antenna but you need to point it right and usually need to install it outdoor.

And no matter what you do, just remember that 5G is still wireless and it can never be as stable and consistent as fiber.

photo from shopee, buy from taobao much cheaper. refer to my post above.


(Test it by yourself, info might not be accurate, just a rough idea for your reference)
CON4/Main1 (top) - 4G Primary (connect to the antenna optimized for b28 700mhz)
CON3/Div1 - 5G Diversity (connect to the antenna optimized for n78 3500mhz)
CON2/Main2 - 5G Primary (connect to the antenna optimized for n78 3500mhz)
CON1/Div2 (bottom) - 4G Diversity (connect to the antenna optimized for b28 700mhz)

Does it work well?

My experience with China antenna many years ago is they pump out a ton of fake antenans

Some will make it worst, some not doing anything at all, good ones are hard to find cause this thing is somewhat not legal to be sold to end user (grey area)

wanna share 1 trick for u guys to locate best spot to place your 5G modem router.

take a samsung 5G phone and dial *#0011#

then select your 5G sim (sim1 / sim2)

then place your phone on the spot you want to put the 5G modem router.

check and see which spot has the best RSRP signal. (-80 is stronger than -90)

SINR higher is better. (5 is higher than -5)

normally the corner of the wall near window has better signal.

Anyone uses tenda 5g01? Price is affordable around rm500. Hows the performance?
