Anyone using either the ZTE U30 Air or ZTE U50?

For umobile, which 5G router would you guys recommend?

RM508 + coin

next round 11:11

I am using U Home 5G, previously using gteniq, today received my tp link deco X50 5G, bought from shopee tp link official store @ RM589.66 during shopee 10.10 sales.

I would advise you to get the tp link deco X50 5G because it's 5G signal and wifi performance better as compared to gteniq. 5G signal is 4 out of 5 bar whereas gteniq is 2 or 3 out of 5 bar.

The unit that I got is EU/2.0 version, max 5G speed is 4.67Gbps whereas v1.0 only 3.4Gbps. From the tp link eu website, specification shown that it has 8 5G antennas and 3 wifi antennas, a huge upgrade compared to v1.0 which is only has 4 5G antennas and 2 wifi antennas.

More info @ https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/...#specifications

Thank you and have a pleasant weekend.

I have a question on arcadyan aw1000, what is the difference between QWRT, OPWRT, Abi WRT, Sopek WRT, NialWRT and KhairulWRT?

It is actually more dependent on the chipset itself rather than the physical antenna that you can see. For example, X50 5G wifi is a 2x2 which means 2 receiving and 2 transmitting stream. Even when you have 3 antennas, its more for signal strength (which I doubt changes anything since the distance between each antenna is virtually negligible) rather than increasing speed.

Hence that is why the wifi speed stay the same despite the increase for antenna. As for the 5G speed, not sure if they are using another chipset or what since Snapdragon X62 in the original X50 5G are only rated up to 4.4Gbps...

Noted, thank you 😉👍

Do get from laksamana.melayu from Shopee.
No hassle after sales service.

all simillar, the different is feature, update cycle and price, some is free to use, some you need to pay

2 firmware that i highly rated is

https://github.com/xhikarishii/openwrt-ipq - lightweight and fast

https://github.com/ChamodyaChiran/AW1000-NSS-Build-Public - have more advance feature

both is free and always up to date

mine is currently using hikariWRT

I bought gteniq from him as well, no doubt that his after sales service is good.

Thank you for your info, there are so many firmware versions just for one single Arcadyan AW1000 model

You bought the gteniq portable or home 5G modem?

that is the main reason why i buy it, community support

aw1000 keep evolving even after EOL

compare to other 5g router that dont have community support, after EOL no update firmware rip, need to buy new one

Home 5G modem, steel body type.

Makes me want to buy one unit to try out......
Passwall and vless seems interesting.

How's the AW1000? Got use any fan under the router?

Yours got SIRIM or old model without SIRIM?

good, using umobile

yup, have fan below the router



speedtest

U Mobile the one with 1TB FUP?

You stay Landed Right?
Condo maybe not suitable.

How's the Wi-Fi Coverage?

i use the new uhome borneo with no FUP



im on second floor of 2 storey house,

also, didnt use wifi since this aw1000 actually my backup line for my unifi 1Gbps, already have mikrotik hap ax3 and hap ax lite wifi for covering whole house

Is the Huawei 112-370 outdated? I see so many version of Huawei wireless modem. How come nobody recommending it?

Yeah, was eyeing it. Wait see if can get swu offer.

I just wonder why so many aw1000 were collected back for resale?

Do modems have a lifespan or degraded performance over time? Why isp change them in the first place?

Otherwise is good
