Hi guys, this might be a really stupid question but here goes: I've been using one these crap TM Net router (black one) and for the life of me, I cannot seem to find the menu where I can change the admin password from default to something I obviously want.

Googling led me here, so if anyone can help, would be really grateful!

Under management but you have to log in this way

address: 192.168.0.1

user: operator
password: h566UniFi

password is case sensitive

good luck

OK thanks! I'll give this a shot when I get back to KL in the office. Thanks for the help and I'll update the forum on the results!

the admin ID you using - actually just a normal standard privilege to amend standard setting in RG.

have to use the "operator" ID for full use.

Yeah, it makes sense, because logging into the admin, there was no way I could change the passwords. I ask the TM guy and he responded, "You cannot change router password." I'm like, the hell I can't. That's one of the stupidest response I've ever heard from TM. And trust me, I have heard A LOT.

That's their new policy for unifi. This is their SOP because they don't want users to tinker with the settings. Probably cause before this, a lot of users login and play with the devices until screw up the settings. Then call them to fix. So in order to avoid that, they control all the setup. So if user really tinker with the settings then they would know and if want them to come fix, they charge you RM200.

Hey thanks guys it worked!

As for their new SOP, I still feel it's kinda dumb, even if it offends. I mean, for sakes, at least select a hardware then that allows us to change the bloody password. It's like selling us a car and tell us that we don't have access to open up the trunk, or boot, or turn on the radio. This is basic security, and our god given right to protect ourselves against information rapists.

Anyway, thanks guys.

sharing is caring

Hey does anyone know how to migrate from the black unifi modem to use another router? I'm having another Belkin router which can definitely transmit the WiFi signal further and I'm certainly looking forward towards using it... Or else it'll be collecting dust. I've tried to migrate to that router myself, but didn't manage to get a connection. What config should I use yea?

Only a few models are compatible with unifi for 1-to-1 replacement. http://klseet.com/ has a good guide.

If you want to use any router but willing to give up IPTV there is a way here:

The black TM RG had its adapter broken a few hours after installation. Heh.

Now TM is giving dir-615 again?

Hey Guru,
Going to get VIP5 soon and pending on installation, may i know if we got chance to request a better router ? i read many thread here complain about TM router, which router i should request ?

having major problems connecting my iphone with this RG TMRND Gen1.0 ...

there is 2 option here one just call the unifi centre and ask them to change ur black tmrnd router with the d-link 615 router which has better performance then the black one or two just go and get any compatible router like in klseet website which could do better then both tm unifi routers...

I also having problem with this new TM UNIFI Router at my father's home. The wifi connection always disconnect for my MacBook Air (MBA).. Need to reconnect frequently.. So annoying..

After do some google search, i found that to avoid this wifi disconnect for my MBA, i have to open terminal dan ping the router ip number which is 192.168.0.1.. Hm.. So far ok with this method but still why i have to do this.. The old router (white) at my own home doesn't have problem like this. Huh!

they would change the router without any without hesitation ?

yes just call and complain kaw2 to them like i did later they get annoyed they'll come and change it if its still in the warranty period la..

teach me what to complain about ,because my pc is running smooth with the modem except phones only..

I got the black router yesterday and frequenct WAN disconnects very randomly, sometimes once every few hours down to once every few minutes.

I wonder if this is router issue or fiber optic issue? coz every time i restart the router, connection becomes available again.

IS it possible to call tm and request exchange to DIR615 ruoter?
