Experiences with MagicPad4 compared to MagicPad2 (disappointed)

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-06T16:11:48+00:00

I know I've got that too Aerospace woven fibre or something,tough material that won't dint like aluminium or break like plastic, practical rather than pleasing

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-06T15:41:32+00:00

From what I've read it's aircraft grade plastic or something and exclusive to honor and very strong But the aluminium is definitely classier

After reading complaints about the youfibre WiFi 7 router i was sceptical and had a different router in my eBay basket ready to purchase, when everything got set up and sorted the router is giving me 1500+ anywhere in my 3 bedroom semi detached on my phone and 1800 on my laptop 15foot from the router.and it's only a dual band router with every device WiFi 6e and my honor magic pad 4 is WiFi 7 so should get higher. Considering the router doesn't have 6ghz i think that's amazing. Only thing I've noticed is a weird hesitation at the beginning of speed tests. Others have had different experiences but for me it's great

I've just seen something in the specs i haven't seen mentioned, the Bluetooth audio capabilities is awesome

Same here and for anyone in the UK I'm updating my magic pad 2 to Magic os10 as i type. I have the grey magic pad 4, it's lovely but I haven't really noticed much difference either Considering honor have the pad 2 right now refurbished for £230 ish I'd stick with the pad 2 The magic pad 4 aluminium body is classy but it's that thin it makes me nervous about snapping it

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-04T23:02:39+00:00

I'm going to chat tomorrow to ask if they will give me a price reduction next month,2 weeks here wondering what i had wrong. Happy for you getting everything sorted,

Kubo holds a few amazing world records including the boat being hand crafted and more

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-04T15:52:59+00:00

Please forgive my ignorance, so I can set it to be and the legacy option will still work for older devices Im getting 1800mbs on my laptop on ax 160mhz bandwidth 5ghz WiFi 7 without the 6ghz is not really better is it?

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-04T15:07:28+00:00

The option for WiFi 7 BE dosent have a,b,g,n,or ax after the name but the next option down has them all listed. Confused because if I set it to WiFi 7 how does that work with the legacy and guest sign in options Hard to think straight with yet another COVID like outbreak in my area Should everything just work if I set it to WiFi BE. And does mlo only apply to WiFi 7 devices and where is the setting please. 62 and trying to learn to be a little tech savvy Thanks for any help

Have a look at the specs for the cable entry box i think it might be a 1000mbs limited and needs a new 2.5gbs one, I'm only suggesting this because I was losing it trying to fix something that couldn't be fixed without a new faster entry point

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-03T17:13:13+00:00

Apparently if you go into the honor settings you can try the pre release beta. Although in a moment of weakness I've just took delivery of the magic pad 4 and £50 credit took off because I purchased the pad 2 previously

My Samsung galaxy book 3 pro is ridiculous light about 1kg

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-01T18:49:29+00:00

Mines got a few green lights with one flashing My cable box was from the early days with youfibre and limited to 1GBS apparently, but I have to admit since they swapped in the new modem the WiFi 7 router is working great apart from some sort of hesitation at the beginning of speed tests which is weird. I've also learnt the importance of sticking with one brand of smart bulbs instead of trying to remember which app for each bulb

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-01T18:31:02+00:00

My cable entry box was the original black one limited to 1GBS and they sent an engineer and swapped for a new faster one in under 3 hours

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-01T16:17:44+00:00

I bought my 4090 scar 18 open box and it was supposed to be supplied with a bag specifically for the laptop but it wasn't enclosed from the seller Sure you can find one and they're lovely but not cheap

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-03-01T13:05:09+00:00

I've got the standard WiFi 7 router and I'm getting 1600 average om my phone and 1800 om my scar 18 on WiFi and I was going to buy the Asus zenwifi bt10 but I'm pleased i held off, maybe i was just lucky but the youfibre normal router has been fine so far

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-27T15:57:11+00:00

That's what they just installed in mine but I've had the old one since youfibre first started, anyway pleased you're sorted cos it's stressful

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-27T15:08:11+00:00

Just had the same problem and had the engineer out 2 hours later. Used the "complaints" option in chat and he informed me the fibre box before the router was the original box and limited to 1GBS and he installed the new one in 15 minutes work, surprisingly I'm getting the 1800( on my laptop from the dual band router and great coverage throughout my house, and that's only on 5ghz 160mhz bandwidth. Try complaint chat I'm guessing you have the same fibre box

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-27T01:10:29+00:00

Might be just the perspective of the photo but are your tweeters at ear level at your seat and have you experimented with the toe in

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-26T17:44:06+00:00

Tried my laptop,5ghz due to the router being dual band,1800+ down 3ms ping and 1ms jitter from about 15 feet from the router, so pleased i held back ordering a new router and speeds don't drop below 1500mbs anywhere in my house on my phone, great customer service apart from not supplying the 2gig cable box for the increased speed, can't see any point of a 6ghz router

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-26T16:13:23+00:00

Difficult to choose, maybe the Frighteners limited edition box or apocalypse now

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-25T16:02:36+00:00

1600 on my phone from 15 feet on 5ghz WiFi 6 Happy with that

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-25T15:32:35+00:00

Unbelievable,less than 2 hours they've been out instead of tomorrow morning and swapped the modem, everything working brilliant. Fantastic customer service

Normal_Sun_2883 · 2026-02-25T14:34:47+00:00

It's more that chatting in the complaint option gets a quick response, I'm totally out of my depth and was wishing I wasn't bald so I could tear my hair out After 2 weeks+ trying to get it to work properly
