how much does it cost for the gterniq 5g modem ?

If you like to dabble with unlimited settings and future proofing firmware with OpenWRT = Arcadyan
No frills easy to setup with minimal config required and great signal pulling capability = Olax G5018 / GtenIQ X55
Most affordable + branded + plug n play setup = Nokia Fastmile v1

Market right now is somewhere around RM830-RM900, depending on seller. Sometimes, need to also look out for Shopee voucher that can give further discount to the original price. I got mine that time for just RM766 after RM120 Shopee discount.

Awesome thank you, have pre-ordered a gteniq from shopee. Including shipping around Rm800. One shopee seller was saying his airtel x25 pro was better than gteniq & arcadyan.

noted , rm120 voucher definitely will make a huge difference for the price , will check it out soon , at least i knew around what price for it

Was aiming for 5018 but then found aw1000, end up ordered aw1000 yesterday. I like to tinder so openwrt is gonna be fun 🤓

Nokia fast mile supports N78 only

can it use for Maxis home 5g , and any other 5g plan ?

Arcadyne, and firmware sopek 3.1 (1April)
Using yes plan.

Did you upgrade the latest openwrt fw yourself ?

Yup. I upgraded the firmware myself. Purchased a token from the firmware author.

Having a long dilemma between GTEN IQX55 vs OLAX G5018 to pair with a U HOME 5G plan or Yes Flexi 5G plan

Staying in a 2storey with high ceiling hence I would need it to have a acceptable / decent Wi-Fi signal..

Also require a strong 5G signal pull as my area tend to be quite bad at times.. I tried Umobile 5G on iPhone12, mostly only approx. 2bars... at certain spots will drop to 1bar.. I do get 3 bars but it is really rare..

Initially wanted to go for TP-LINK X50 5G due to the 3years warranty but, somehow I feel, it isn't that future proof for not being 'modded'.. I cant change to any other telco plans easily... Also, will be forced to stay within TPLINK's Deco ecosystem to boost WiFi coverage with their expensive mesh..

As of now, am leaning towards GTEN.. Any kind inputs will be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Iphone x where got 5g oh??

Anyway, I just signed u home 5g free modem, 24 months contract, ZTE mc888s. Same 68 a month so real bargain with the free modem

Oh sorry I just checked it was an iPhone 12 hahaha my bad!

but the ZTE mc888s will be carrier locked to umobile only right? Didn't want to tie down 24months with umobile just incase the signal gets bad somehow, I can switch other carriers / plans..

5G signal either one bad or one good, apply to others as infra under DNB... this the goodness of SWN....not like 4G where one telco good, one telco bad, one telco initially good suddenly become not good after merger....

Yep, all under same DNB infra no matter what Telco. For me I anggap as buy modem for 24 months installment for 40 a month, then the remaining 30 is for SIM plan. Cheap

But the 5G bands matters right?

Say for uMobile having more 5G bands over Yes5G, and if my area's certain 5G band happen to be lesser etc, and not supporting the limited Yes5G ones i will lose out right?

I just got a Gten iq and tested it with my deco x50.
both at the same location giving similar speeds.
tested with Umobile, averaging 400mb in my area with both modems.

for current setup, will be using gten to connect to my deco x60 mesh setup while deco x50 5g will be my modem and mesh setup at another location.

A little advice for u.. avoid the modem sell from the boss AxxxUL

I finally took the plunge and ordered gteniq during Lazada 4/4 sale due to the discount I gotten..

May I ask for gten's firmware, is it proprietary to the seller's own firmware or I can flash to with any firmware from elsewhere as well?

And usually, where to get the latest firmware updates?

Try parabolic antena to lock the signal,
