Over the years, our experiences with Orange services they were very good. A mobile phone operator, which even if it doesn't always have the most advantageous subscriptions and bidder on the market, offers stability and innovation. In Romania, being the only mobile phone operator that offers support forWi-Fi Calling this time. A service that I wrote about in detail in the article:Wi-Fi Calling (Orange Wi-Fi) – What is Wi-Fi Calling, when do we use it, rates and what are the advantages.
Not too long ago, Orange focused on television services and cable internet (optical fiber), offering subscriptions with speeds up to 1000 Mbps for the subscriptionOrange Home Net 1000.
Having a line in the house UPC internet cu subscription of 500 Mbps, at the end of which there is a modem CONNECT BOX cu Recccaments our Hiapha lefels Haptu (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), I said it was a good idea if we tried an upgrade.
After several searches through cable internet operators' offers, the offer from Orange with 1000 Mbps seemed the most advantageous to us. Considering that we have also been Orange customers for a very long time.
From the very beginning, we were surprised to find that so internet infrastructure as well support for internet services, are actually offered by Telekom Romania, in one partnership with Orange Romania. Phone number for support And others complaints being that of Orange. For the customer, this is not a big problem as long as Orange guarantees the good functioning of the service SI and the equipment. Even if somewhere in the contract the user is somehow linked to Telekom Romania.
Request to install the service it went very well, and in about 24 hours I had the Internet line from Orange at home. Installation team he did his job very quickly and very well, not before recommending himself as being from Orange Romania.
After installing the internet line with the subscription Orange Home Net 1000 activat, the element of surprise also appeared.
I don't know why and how, but Orange chose that for internet and television subscribers, to come with the modem HUAWEI EchoLife HG8247H (GPON).
HUAWEI EchoLife HG8247H is a modem for both internet, telephony and TV, being provided with fiber optic input port. On the internet connectivity side, this modem with Wi-Fi router, has a very big minus, which makes a Home Net 1000 Mbps subscription is totally useless for users who use Wi-Fi connections at home or in the office. Even those with a 500 Mbps subscription from Orange could not say that they are more advantageous.
HUAWEI EchoLife HG8247H uses a very old Wi-Fi standard, having only one frequency 2.4 GHz with the highest standard 802.11n. This means that in any scenario of ideal conditions, the maximum theoretical Wi-Fi speed reached by this router cannot be higher than 300 Mbps. This speed of 300 Mbps, supported by HG8247H it will be distributed to all devices connected to it. It doesn't do any better by cable either. The maximum speed is 900 Mbps.
As an unfortunate bonus, this modem / router does not support either mode “bridge”, which would involve accepting the transfer of the connection to a better performing router, provided with the 802.11ac standard on 5GHz, able to support bandwidth up to 1.3 Gbps (1300 Mbps).
In a test done under identical conditions, the UPC line with 500 Mbps and Connect Box router worked at a higher speed than the 1000 Mbps line from Orange, with the HUAWEI EchoLife HG8247H router. Connections are made on Wi-Fi 5GHz to Connect Box and respectively 2.4 GHz to Huawei HG8247H.
Claiming this at “Customer Relationships” Orange, it was found that I am right, but at the moment there are no solutions for improving Wi-Fi performance. Orange does not currently (dec. 2017) have equipment capable of operating on 802.11ac, and thanks to the type of DHCP connection cu serial device registered in Orange's subscription activation system, nor the user cannot use another equipment, than the one offered by the operator. Which is the height of irony, it also says in the offer that users get FREE modem with wireless router. Logically, if they did not receive it, they would have to pay for the equipment without which the service could not function.
So, before you make one access the web for home or office, it is recommended to inquire beforehand what equipment is provided to you for the requested subscription of you
The list of Wi-Fi 8002.11 standards for routers and their characteristics can be found here:What are the Wi-Fi standards: IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b/g/n and 802.11ac of a wireless routers.
Keep in mind that the internet speed presented in a subscription is the theoretical one, which can only be achieved in optimal connectivity and hardware conditions. Track the the speed will be shared among all connected devices to that router. PC, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, smart TV or any other connected device.
I contradict you. I have been using this HG8247H router for about 4 years with a Telekom 1000 Mbps subscription. Two computers are connected on UTP, on WiFi a tablet, a Smart TV, an Asus repeater, a video camera and three Smartphones. Everything works PERFECTLY and they are connected simultaneously. Digi online works on any of the 4 mobile phones simultaneously while surfing the net with the video camera and Smart TV active. No blockage, no lag on the internet or smartphone. Speedtest reports 950 Mbps on the fixed network and 70 Mbps simultaneously on mobile devices. IP control is perfect and the video camera is accessible from a smartphone no matter where I am in the country without having a fixed IP. I don't need more, instead I need stability. And I have it.
From what I can see, you only have high speeds on cable, I was talking about Wi-Fi in the article. You have no way to take advantage of the maximum speed of a 1000 subscription, with a router that does not have 802.11ac. It is impossible. 70 Mbps on mobiles, it is low for a laptop on which large data packages are transferred.
Have you connected the AC 1300 Mbps router to the Orange GPON and it did not work? The bridge mode is used when you want to open the ports directly in the Internet, but it also works after NAT, if you put a fixed IP on the router and do “Port Forwarding” on both devices.
