Who doesn't want all that with no cap....

Heh. Be thankful la, everytime night comes my D-Link router will PMS and hang or something, haih.

Have you tried a direct cable to confirm its the router?

Tried already. The router won't respond to pings intermittently and ping sometimes goes up to 2000-3000ms, then times out, then back to normal, then repeats again.

Could it be because it's turned on 24/7? (the router) but the funny thing is that it only happens at night... which leads me to the question of overcrowding. But if overcrowding is the problem, then the router page should still be accessible, no? this is weird.

Well, I don't want to get into an argument regarding capping and traffic management now. We all want unlimited bandwidth at unlimited speed. However, this would be impossible, especially looking at the network infrastructure we have here in Malaysia.

My point is, no matter what, there will always be people dissatisfied with the service. Even using traffic management, the heavy downloaders will complain because they get throttled at certain times.

I don't like TM. I hate their monopoly on Malaysia's network. But I won't let that bias my judgement of how things can be done, or how it should be done.

We cannot just expect everything to fall into place nicely for us. Even if I give you a 100Mb/s line, I'm sure there will be some people complaining.

And yes, we are worst off than south africa apparently

any1 experiencing downtime for UNIFI?? mine has been down for 3 days!!!

i wonder why...now suddenly its back for dnt knw how long...hopefully it'll last!!

anybody goin thru the same thing, pls update and SHARE

thank you

If the direct cable is problematic as described its likely to be over-heating. Try placing the router away from the modem .. say 20cm or more. Also check if the router feels warm to touch or hotter. I had seen wireless routers randomly disconnect and the cause was traced back to over-heating because other equipment were close by. Check by turning off wireless when you test with direct cable.

Once you find direct cable is ok and the problem arises for wireless only its likely network congestion. In my area its like around 10 or more wifi running at any one time. With 2.4Ghz having 3 effective radio channels and it does not help with some D-Link routers using dual-channel for 802.1n (some vendors for example only use one channel for 2.4Ghz to prevent over-crowding) you will see lots of latency and wifi disconnects. I run both 5Ghz for my gaming systems and 2.4Ghz on other stuff like PS3 and iPhone. The 2.4Ghz shows plenty of drops even though the signal is quite strong - prove of network congestion. And this usually also shows a much much lower speedtest probably because of packets retransmits. Turning on the "network robustness" option on my router helps a bit at the expense of throughput though.

shouldnt the correct word be interference and not congestion...

I have both the router & modem on a cooling pad, both are very cool to the touch.

There's 10 WiFi spots running around my area that inSSIDer can detect right now. Should I just change to 5GHz to ease congestion? But I don't know how, and will there be a performance drop if I use 5GHz? Most of my devices are N-capable except a few so your advice would be appreciated.

Then I would suggest you try running on cable for a day or so and wifi off to confirm this.

On your question, actual throughput using dual-channel 5Ghz is around 215Mbps on average. Reckon it should be much better performance than 2.4Ghz with everything considered. I get around 200ms to 300ms on MMO gaming to North American servers and don't use any tunneling services. Most of latency issues are traced back to problems on the 2.4Ghz at least in my case which is why I switched to 5Ghz. By the way, N-capable devices may not necessarily run on dual-bands so you need to check. If you go the route of 5Ghz the very nice tutorial to convert the DIR615 as a VLAN switch works like a charm. Invest in a good router with a solid heatsink and you won't need a cooling pad. My gear runs 24X7 for years now and don't have any fans or pads on the equipment which are housed inside a cabinet

Dude I had the same problem !
Internet / phone / hypptv all down for 3 days, I just subscribe so I thought because I was in late to pay the 1 st month but wasn't that.
I called them early on the morning and 2 hours later everything was back

I see... I think I won't be needing that anymore, going to stop gaming when school reopens once again. Gotta concentrate on studies

Anyway, your advice will be taken. Speaking of which, I have so many useless routers sitting at home doing nothing, even Australian ones

Sad,

Installation suppose on Thursday but change to Friday,

but then, yesterday heavy rain start from 2pm till 530pm at my area,

i was expected them to call me, but end up no call at all,

disappointed...

im already on my UNIFI now........superb......




im on VIP5 now

hey..do u guys try before 4 months unifi bill not yet paid but still can use internet and voip?

Are you the 1st one? lol

yup...xD
my dad always go pos office pay...unifi cannot pay at there..thn ar...he always forget to pay at TM point..
hahaha

I off and on my modem and router power yest. cant connect till today. then this morning i went and use pen to reset the modem and router button behind. cant connect. how come?

Bill is not out probably the address is not in correct format, especially if you are staying in high rise.

Register your Unifi portal and view/pay your bill.

You do not want to receive a bomb legal letter from Telekom asking you to clear the whole amount though.

It happens to me. I wasn't receiving my bills too. Lucky it was too late, I registered the at the portal and paid my bills.
