What is Time’s Loyalty Upgrade all about?
Life’s too short for slow internet, so we’re bumping up the speed for our subscribers on plans below 100Mbps – for free with no strings attached! There won’t be any changes to subscription fees, contract terms or discounts (if any). Check out your free speed boost on your Self Care account.
Will there be any changes to my plan e.g. price, contract term, discounts etc?
Nope, not at all. The free speed boost is on us – no strings attached. Your plan stays exactly the same. There’s no change to your existing fee, contract term or discounts (if any).
How do I know if my speed has been upgraded?
Easy. If you’re an existing Time Fibre Business subscriber from before 2 October 2023, just log into the Self Care portal and your new speed will be displayed on the dashboard.
How do I check my new speed?
You can run a speed test by connecting your desktop or laptop computer to your router using a Cat-5e LAN cable for the most accurate results. You can do it over WiFi too, but you just won’t be getting the maximum speeds.
Click here to learn how to maximise your Internet experience. If you have other questions, reach out to us at care@time.com.my and we’ll help you out.
Can I upgrade my plan if I want something else?
Yes, you can! Just log in to Self Care and check it out.
There are too many line items in my latest bill, how do I read it?
Your latest bill (the next bill cycle after the free speed boost) should reflect the new speed with the same monthly subscription fee. The rest of the charges remain the same as your usual bill.
What if I’m moving to a new address? Can I still get the upgraded speed?
Yes, absolutely! You’ll get to enjoy the new speeds in your workplace as long as you’re an existing Time Fibre Business subscriber who has subscribed to our plans before 2 October 2023 and your new premises have Time Fibre coverage.
I’m planning to transfer ownership of my account to a friend. Will the new owner be eligible for the upgraded speed?
Yes, the new owner will enjoy the upgraded speeds as long as they remain on the existing Time Fibre Business plan that was subscribed to before 2 October 2023. If your friend decides to upgrade or downgrade, please contact us via call or by reaching out to us at care@time.com.my for assistance.
Why can’t I downgrade my plan in Self Care?
As part of the free speed boost exercise, we’ve made some adjustments to the Self Care features. We highly recommend staying on your current boosted plan as you get to enjoy a faster and smoother experience with absolutely no strings attached. But fret not, you can always reach out to us at care@time.com.my if you want to explore other speed plans.
Is there any equipment change needed at my premise to enjoy the speed upgrade?
If your current equipment doesn’t support the new speed, you may need to upgrade it. Contact us to arrange for an equipment change, if necessary.

What type of devices does Time offer?
We offer a range of mesh-ready routers and nodes that when paired, deliver consistent speeds across your business premises. Find out more by visiting www.time.com.my/for-business/devices.
How does Mesh WiFi extend my WiFi coverage?
When you place a mesh node in a WiFi dead zone, the node will capture and broadcast the wireless signal and speed of your router to hard-to-reach corners of your workspace. By placing mesh nodes in strategic spots throughout your premises, you can create a seamless, stable WiFi network that keeps your business connected.
How do I get these devices?
You will receive a complimentary router with your new subscription of Time Fibre Business. You’ll also have the option to add on more devices during the signup process.
If you’re an existing Time Fibre Business subscriber, you can purchase our devices from the Self Care shop or upgrade your plan to redeem free devices.
What type of router does Time provide?
We provide mesh-enabled routers with WiFi 6 technology. Based on your building type and installation requirements, new subscribers will receive a:
What does a “mesh-enabled router” mean?
A mesh-enabled router means the device is equipped with mesh capabilities. A traditional Mesh WiFi setup typically requires a mesh node to be placed next to the router to act as a gateway. Since our routers are mesh-ready, we eliminate the need for an extra device. All you have to do is place mesh nodes where your WiFi signals are weaker and you’re ready to enjoy strong and seamless WiFi all over your business premises.
What is WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 and what’s the difference?
WiFi 5 is a WiFi standard which effectively introduced the 5Ghz frequency band to WiFi networks. It’s the technology most commonly used in modern routers and is compatible with almost all devices.
WiFi 6 is the next generation in WiFi technology, delivering faster speeds and better performance overall. It is capable of serving more devices more efficiently. Devices connected to this latest standard have to be WiFi 6-enabled to benefit from the improved technology.
Can I upgrade my WiFi 5 router to the WiFi 6 router?
Yes, you can. If you’re already a Time subscriber, simply log in to Self Care to purchase the device.
Are the mesh nodes compatible with each other?
Please refer to the table below to check for device compatibility:
Devices | WiFi 5 mesh node (Huawei WA8021V5) | WiFi 5 mesh node (TP-Link HC420) | WiFi 6 router/mesh node (Huawei HG8145X6) |
---|---|---|---|
WiFi 5 router (Huawei HG8145V5) | ✓ | ✘ | ✘ |
WiFi 5 mesh node (Huawei WA8021V5) | ✓ | ✘ | ✓ |
WiFi 6 mesh node/router (Huawei HG8145X6) | ✓ | ✘ | ✓ |
WiFi 5 mesh node (TP-Link EC440) | ✘ | ✓ | ✘ |
TP-Link EC230 | ✘ | ✘ | ✘ |
D-Link 882 | ✘ | ✘ | ✘ |
Other models | ✘ | ✘ | ✘ |
What are the LAN ports and how many LAN ports does my device have?
Also known as ethernet ports, LAN ports allow your device(s) to connect to the network via a wired connection which typically yields higher speeds. Refer to the table below for the number of LAN ports our devices have:
WiFi 6 | Device model | Device type | No. of LAN ports |
---|---|---|---|
Huawei HG8145X6 | Mesh node/router | ||
WiFi 5 | Huawei HG8145V5 | Router | |
Huawei WA8021V51 | Mesh node/router | ||
TP-Link EC440 | Router | ||
TP-Link HC4202 | Mesh node |
How do I make payment for these devices?
You can pay for our WiFi devices purchased during the signup process using your credit/debit card or through the Self Care shop using online banking, credit/debit card or e-wallet.
Can I get a refund if I withdraw my purchase?
Unfortunately, any request for a return/refund/exchange will not be entertained as all purchases are final.
How do I install the devices?
Our Tech Ninjas or Time-authorised installers will do it for you.
Is installation free?
For new subscribers or existing subscribers who have upgraded and/or renewed their contract and received free devices as part of their plan or promotion, any installation carried out by our Tech Ninjas is free of charge.
For devices purchased from the Self Care shop, an RM80 installation fee will be charged. This fee will be reflected in your next bill.
How do I change my WiFi 6 (HG8145X6) device from working as a Optical Network Terminal (ONT) to a router/mesh node?
By default, the WiFi 6 (Huawei HG8145X6) device works as a wireless Optical Network Terminal (ONT) or a 2-in-1 device which combines router and Optical Network Unit (ONU) capabilities. That means that you just need 1 device to connect to the Internet, rather than the 2 (router and ONU) typically needed.
Another feature of the WiFi 6 device is that it can function as a router or a mesh node.
So, if you already have an existing ONU or encounter building limitations that require you to use one, you can switch your WiFi 6 device to router mode. Similarly, if you wish to use your WiFi 6 device as a mesh node to extend coverage, you can follow the same steps.
To return the device to its ONT mode, simply follow the same steps. In ONT mode, the WPS LED indicator will not be lit up.
What happens to my devices if I terminate my service before my contract term or if my contract expires?
You may keep the devices you purchased regardless of early termination or contract expiration.
I’m currently using a 3rd party router. Which device can I purchase to extend coverage?
You may refer to the official website of the device you have purchased to check on compatible mesh devices with your router.
What is an Optical Network Unit (ONU)?
The Optical Network Unit (ONU) connects to the fibre termination point via an optical fibre cable. It then connects to your router through an ethernet cable. The ONU is also called the modem.
What is a wireless Optical Network Terminal (ONT)?
The wireless Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is a 2-in-1 device combining ONU and router capabilities in a single box. Our WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 routers are ONTs, which means that you can connect to the Internet with just one device – no ONU needed.
The type of router you receive is based on your building type and installation requirements.
What happens if the equipment provided by Time becomes faulty, damaged or lost during my contract period?
All equipment we provide are covered by a limited warranty during your contract period. Any loss or damage due to negligence or abuse is not covered under the warranty, and any requests for replacements are chargeable.
Is there a warranty period for the devices?
Equipment | Limited Warranty Period |
---|---|
All routers and mesh nodes supplied by Time | 2 years |
ONU | Lifetime |
