I am about to install the maxis home fiber 10Mbps this coming July... but is thinking twice now.

Found out in the maxis forum the thomson tg784n router is problematic... it gets overheat frequently and can never be solved... and it could happened every hour or so

Furthermore, I read the upload speed could have problem as well. I am doing a website and need to update the site daily.

So I need you guys advice... currently I am using streamyx 1Mbps

Should I take up the maxis home fiber 10Mbps?

The installer already made appointment with me this coming July.

So please give me your advice.

You can check the maxis forum... not one but many having problems with it... it's as bad as having problem every hour or so... maybe you got a different model... is yours thomson 784n?

how frequent do you use it? more than one hour per session(the wireless i mean, not the one directly connected to your pc)

if the router is having problem, the phone cannot be used as well because it's connected to the router.... unlike unifi, it's connected to the vdsl modem

sounds good and positive to me...

but the guy in maxis forum said he changed the channel many times but it's still the same situation... another guy has his thomson router changed 3 times but no help... sound horrible

anyway, how do you change the wifi channel? will the maxis support guy help you on changing the channel?

another worrying problem is the direct download speed(no torrent or any similar site)... some of them download software from adobe and microsoft, the download speed is worst than streamyx 1Mbps, even though the test speed connection shows 10Mbps... have you encountered such issue?

btw, do you upload files often? i've to upload files daily to update my site, so it's critical... i've heard there is frequent upload file issues with unifi... since maxis is using unifi, the same problems could be replicated

is your maxis connection on high rise building or landed property? and may i know which area are you in?

thanks

sorry lah, me newbie... no idea about this

how is the usb small fan look like? any photo?

best if you show us the photo with the usb fan attached to the router

thanks

okok... u guys convince me to go ahead with it

just one more tricky question(to me at least)

my vdsl modem and thomson router will be in my master bedroom as i am using my pc there...

my question is:-
1)can the dect phone place in the living room

2)what about the iptv(set top box) which someone said will be introduced in a week time? can it be placed in living room with my vdsl modem and thomson router in the master bedroom?

confused and worry leh!

good then, i already got a telephone cable from my bedroom to living room for my existing streamyx connection

but i guess the set top box/iptv is a tricky one... any taker on this?

cannot find wifi scanner for ipad leh... not available

so cannot scan the channel used in my surrounding areas

do u mean 9.0-10+Mbps?

If 0.9mbps, my streamyx better wo

WTF maxis also sux now... Like TM

If I kena like that, siap I sure bantam kau2

this thomson router really cannot use leh... so many ppl complaint, so many changes required... like that i cannot cut my streamyx for a least another 6 months... puih!

honestly, streamyx is good and smooth lately... maybe because many ppl change to unif and mhf

maybe i should keep my streamyx and say no to maxis... i need to upload files everyday and i can't afford all those waiting game shits

free one month only?

then stated in the website : Free PC protection worth RM192

so one month cost RM192?

penipu wo... mcmc/skmm tolong kasi saman ini maxis

if i kena the rm8 per month charge, u sure die maxis!

how to block mac-address?

after you off, how to use wifi?

phone oso cannot use wo

unifi setup better leh, the phone line is not hook-up to the router

now i know why they have to hook up to the stupid thomson router

the voip phone will be very important to me leh

not impressive, i can get much better ping with my streamyx 1Mbps line!

me too... i guess this is done to make sure you're already in contract even before installing

they know the installation will be done in months time.. so they want to hold on to you
