of course have, it called EOL or End of Life, where the product stop getting support and firmware update from manufacturer

for example TP-Link



that where custom firmware like openwrt come and save the day, since many router are still capable just the main issue is it being abandon in favor of newest model

openwrt revive those router and give them new life, it same as custom firmware on android phone like LineageOS

Too bad from WM.

Mine is old model, no SIRIM.

AFAIK, SIRIM model comes with firmware version 3.3, I updated my unit to version 3.3 as well.

Do you or anybody knows what is xlite in gteniq firmware version 3.3?

I stay at level 10 condo, speedtest during morning and afternoon time can get similar result as yours (200Mbps to 400Mbps), but evening (after 6pm) speed drops between 100Mbps to 150Mbps.

My ping is lower than yours, between 17ms to 21ms.

Still considering YES Flexi with 5G Advanced, doesn't know it will perform better than U Home 5G or not in my area.

mine download speed is very consistent all day,only upload after midnight can get high



my speedtest just now

which 5g modem you currently use?

also, if you considering to move to yes, better buy prepaid and test first, later already ikat contract sekali guna speed lower than current telco, rip menyesal tak sudah

Currently using tp link deco x50 5g, tempted to try arcadyan aw1000.

Yes Flexi has no contract, can terminate anytime, but hassle to find Yes service centre to do termination.

I asked the seller mention the xlite give sim card.
Set VPN to bypass Internet something.

Hey, heard the AW1000 can pull 5G signal even it's bad?
Can you test with Phone 5G Speed and Modem speed.
Wanna see it's true or not? 😂

dont have 5G phone, so cannot test

Aiyo.

testing latest MyWRT from sopek

upgrade price: rm 20

they use ImmortalWrt cause they claim it more stable and run fast compare to normal version of openwrt

also, i like the interface theme very much

Great. So far you recommend this model?
I was thinking as backup WiFi thing.

Either GTENIQ IQ02X55 or AW1000 for me.
Are you using external antenna?

never use GTENIQ IQ02X55, so no comment

for AW1000, strong point is community support firmware and endless customization (you can also use docker on this modem if you want to)

or plex server

i have external antenna, but not using it, it just backup incase i lost 5g signal (happen before cause nearest tower outage)



only buy cheap2 one cause me poor

but i not recomended you buy the same one, better buy proper parabolic antenna since with that you can easily aim the tower incase it too far

Haha. I am staying high floors might not be suitable for me.

Heard the seller said can pull signal if 5G coverage is bad.
Hopefully can solve. My place like corridor lift lobby can get 5G connection.

Inside my unit just 4G connection. Kinda weird for my case.
Maybe one side got 5G, another side no 5G.

My hand itchy wanna buy even got fibre already.
Will change the stock router to a better one later in 11.11

incase you want to buy

https://shopee.com.my/AW1K-aw1000-acar-Mod-...591.27339285623

i buy from same seller, he sell the cheapest aw1000 grade-A condition



maybe there truth in that statement

since if you see my screen shot, LTE RSRQ is red, other signal indication also not very good

but still can get 100% signal and 400Mbps++ download speed
