I have log a ticket with them and this is what i got, i request them to change back to the IP range i had previously but they just brush it off. Seems like the sites that got redirected/block need to whitelist this range.

Thank you for contacting SIMBA Customer Support!

We have confirmed that the affected IP address range is assigned to SIMBA and is registered as being in Singapore.

If a particular service, such as your work VPN, gaming or streaming platform, is showing an incorrect location, this may be due to the service’s own IP location records. In this case, we recommend reaching out to the respective service provider so they can review and update their records accordingly.

Comments about Huawei mesh solution versus Amazon eero mesh solution.

SIMBA is providing 10G Wi-Fi 7 ONR plus two 2.5Gbe mesh nodes fir the 10Gbps plan at S$29.99 per 30 days.

This can be a cost effective solution compared to the other SIMBA 10Gbps option at the same price but with eero Pro 7 10Gbps router.

Huawei will be the sole source of any/all firmware updates for these products. Huawei has locked out community firmware projects such as OpenWrt. Among other problems, their boot loaders don’t allow any other firmware. (Some vendors, such as MikroTik, explicitly cater to independent firmware projects in their boot loaders.) In short, you’ve got to trust Huawei to supply timely firmware updates to keep your network gear secure, and for at least the span of time you want to run these devices.

Per the CLS, Huawei is promising updates for the FG736 only through September 17, 2028. The SIMBA-supplied Huawei equipment is through August 26, 2029.

If you’re considering network devices that don’t have independent community firmware options, Amazon is currently promising security updates for all eero 6 and 7 series products (except the eero Pro 6) through at least September 30, 2031. (The eero Pro 6 ends on July 13, 2030.) But that date will surely shift out since the actual promise is for at least 5 years from last new retail sale from Amazon. The TP-Link Archer BE450 is among the many OpenWrt compatible wireless routers if you want something with an independent firmware option — and OpenWrt updates probably for a decade or more to come.
