as you already knew, the MTK CPU with 7981 chip has only limited openwrt support, mine is factory configured, after they tested and sold as it is, not much support will be provided, but I try to get back to the factory and see if I can get them to provide some tips and support for latest openwrt. lol. means while checking your link now, thanks man.

btw, what is the actual model name for that 5g router?

Under Brand called PanelLen, model is ZX7891PD. they sell router without the 5G module. but I sent the module for them to flash to the software that support their board.

Is this actually a suitable antenna for a 5G modem? The info provided is quite limited and conflicting based on the pic and description (18 vs 29 dBi / 10W vs 50W) lol

just open the box. spi is wson-8. and the chip is circle by the aluminum bracket which provide support for high frequency shielding . look at the picture. w25n01gvze1g which is 128MB. thinking of upgrade it to 512MB to run full fledge openwrt. but not confirmed yet. the bracket is solder to the pcb is quite hard to remove. and don't want to mess up. will check with supplier first.

Bought the Deco X50 5G recently. Fast speed, strong 5G signal, and better Wi-Fi.
My 4G Huawei B618 can finally retire 😄

Can’t go wrong with it

Planning to get this used, below RM250. any issues with this modem? Going to be used with a Yes simcard.

Does yes coverage good around your area? Or any of your friends currently use it? 💖😊💖🐝💖

Basic stuff, not good not terrible

WiFi signal kinda weak, can add on whatever spare router you have then using this purely as the 5G modem

buy 2nd hand from where?

Facebook marketplace, I was late to get it . It was already sold out

is it 5g modem? how much the seller offer?

Yes, rm230. Yes 5G modem. But now in fb marketplace all above rm350

welcome to 5G modem club!

below market price, you are taking risk lor. is hit or miss.

Hi Sifus here, I wanna ask a question.

I am using mobile broadband only as my main internet in both my office and home. Yes and U 5g. I have got X50 5g, Fastmile 2 & Gten iq 02x55 as my modem routers. The question I wanna ask is some of these devices have maximum concurrent users set at much lower levels than a home router which usually supports 256 concurrent users.

I have many IoT things and IP cams and the number can easily be close to 100 so is it a good idea to treat my x50 5g/gteniq/fastmile as a modem only (either set to bridge mode or disable DHCP/NAT) and use an external router like a Mikrotik or Asus or Tplink?

Would that give more stability or am I wasting my money? If indeed it is recommended, can you recommend some routers to do the job?

I read: "However, some user reports in community forums suggest a potential software or IP address limitation with the Deco X50-5G model, where users experienced issues connecting more than 10-11 devices. This appears to be an anomaly and not the intended capacity of the hardware. The device's official specifications emphasize its ability to handle a high number of clients in a dense environment."

The modem router claimed to have certain number of dhcp client allowed is due to hardware limitation, the software restrict it to have certain number of allowed dhcp because it would drain the hardware resources of the modem router, aka the CPU load and memory usage if such limitations is not put in place. There is no one stopping you to cram in as much devices you want into the modem router, you will notice when your router turn slow and sluggish, over loading the router, could crash it. Dont trust all the figure thrown out. You need to experience it for your self.
