I've seen crap routers in life, but nothing prepared me for the crappiness of the RND.

The router is not configured well enough out of the box. UPnP is not enabled by default for example. The Menu system is also makes the Aztech one seem simpler in comparison.

Plus, when I changed the DNS on the router and rebooted from the web ui, the router hung, requiring a soft reset.

The model is RG TMRND Gen1.0. I just helped my friend to configure this crap yesterday evening.

it is crappy..i get signal drop when gaming ..sometimes it just dun transmit anything for a split second which for gaming will get u disconnected

Do you guyz mind to snap a picture and post it here?

No problem so far using the new router.

aha....gud move on buying tplink WR841N

This router suck. Can't change DNS, can't even do port foward. DIR 615 far better than this.

Anyone tried flash the router with open source firmware yet? It use RT3052F chip.

I dont see any options to flash actually hmn...

i guess there's an operator login for for firmware upgrade or port forwarding stuff..

try username: operator
password: h566UniFi

Great! It work. There's a upgrade firmware option now, just need someone to test it out.

Like I mentioned earlier, DNS can be changed. Better enable UPnP than manually port forwarding, the dumbass color scheme is trying to give me migrane.

which are which u guys are talking about?

my problem was that, the connection always drop few times a day..even changing to google DNS doesnt help (which conclude that it is not a DNS problem)

second problem is with the wifi router(black with TM logo). I cant seem to connect my BB 9780 to the router. The BB connects fine on other routers.

any solution for this?

i same with you all .. this router is so pain to using.. even i use my iphone to connect through also feel everything was slow slow slow.... feel wanna smacks this router !!!!


Any good router suggest to replace it ? i wan to on 24/7 ..

Just installed VIP10 today, and got the new TMNet router. Well, first impressions are so far, no disconnects, but i'm out tomorrow to get a new router probably the Asus RT13U.

The wireless on the router is absolute crap. I have mine set up on the staircase and my xbox down the stairs gets 2 bars. My old belkin G wireless could do better than this. It's a TM product so I didn't have my hopes high so the disappointment isn't that massive.

I previously has TP model until struck by lightning and replaced with the TM RnD model. It is just a crap. I can't get a proper streaming on my HTC Incredible and iPad. What a good waste of resources of getting this piece of crap.

haa.. the same router my brother got for my parent's house. got unifi vip5 yesterday, until now I can't get play local multiplayer game. even connection with ipads and ipods get disconnected frequently.

the configuration was complicated.

any idea? i am lost.

The hell man.. I just connected to the router to explore it for a moment until I pressed the wizard section.

It prompt me to key in my pppoe username and password and I did, after rebooting my router everytime I load a webpage I get the error "Unable to resolve domain name"

Any solutions? Use my iPhone 3g to surf now.. /.\

if u press wizard it will reset the router to default.
you have to config everything manually again....

at least that what have been told to me by the TM contractor...

have you check whether the RT-N13U can support Unifi, eg the IPTV ???

hi all, what are the router settings if i were to install a different router from the factory router?little help please..

this shit is the most terrible router i have ever used... the wi-fi is totally crap... phone/idevice with wi-fi capabilities totally useless with this stupid router...

Am on unifi biz and using the tmrnd black router. Any kind souls can help me port forward so that I could view my ip camera from a remote location?

I tried calling their "support" and they told me that this black thingy is very very new till there is still no user manual yet for this device.

Don't you just love them? Thanks in advance

edward chan
ed@toys.com.my

Same problem here could anyone tell me how to port forward using this router .
Thanks in advance

The RT-N13U supports unifi fully including the IPTV, but you do need to flash the router with a custom firmware from KLSeet that site also provides you different routers which can handle unifi and how to set up/flash your router for unifi.

Following the instructions on the site is really easy and took me like 5 minutes.

there is Unifi thread at this section read the 1st Page of it it contain few link to personal blog or web that suggest few kind of router.

So far as i know cheapest is tp link but need custom firm way. If want hassle free check the asus one which is default ready just need to setting properly than it will work like charm. Make sure you have Your Unifi password it is freak hard to remember ==

You can use W8960N without hassle and it's cheap..

is there any problem in KLSeet website since all picture cannot display ?

the new router is pure crap, same goes to every TM router out there.

I used to have the old orange router until last last week, my wireless couldnt be detected at all. My router is placed in the living hall and I can't even receive any wireless connection in the kitchen. Until I called up TM and they sent their technicians and crap to my house and changed my old router to the new black one.

The black one is also the same crappy! The wireless connection is very unstable!!! Especially upstairs! And I can hardly connect to the wireless with my iPhone!!!


Is it possible for us to configure some settings on the router page to solve this problem? HELP!

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?

+1

Would like to know this as well..

The black router is truly the worst of the worse.

was thinking to asked to change to the black one, coz the dir-615 is a crap as well

I'm using the black router now on VIP5. I've had no problems with it apart from the occasional lock-ups. Happens around once every few days, I just have to restart the router to fix it.

DIR615 is just slightly better, I would suggest you to change to other third party router if you are serious about your network quality

if that's the case, then 3rd party router is the only solution.. loL!

I just installed unifi 3 days ago. I still got the white router.. probably old stock? anyway, I'm glad it is white because it blend with my wall just nice and I'm care more for the color than the brand.

conclusion is router supplied by TM is crap. either black or white. they also have the cheek to sell homeplug and wireless range extender at a very inflated price in tmpoint. i bought a tp-link AP in lowyat. first i set it as repeater. guess what? the repeated signal from dir615 is also crap. so i connect the AP to dir615 using ethernet, and then use the AP to broadcast, i got wifi coverage in my entire house

I recommend u try tplink 1043nd or asus rt56u

is there any compatible linksys router for the wireless one?

I finally succeeded Vlan bridging my dir615 with my old Dir655 <--streamyx era
Thanks to this link

Damn it, I've spent hours trying to port forward on DIR -615. Followed every single tutorials, I don't know where it went wrong lol

Some gud tips for unifi router replacement...
http://sawanila.com/v10/2013/01/macamana-n...da-dari-router/

Hi, i just got my unifi installed last week. The wifi router model provided is L7-N-R2000 and the BTU is Alcatel-Lucent I-240G-P.

I was wondering does anyone manage to use 3rd party wifi router to connect with the .Alcatel-Lucent I-240G-P?

I got some reference form http://klseet.com/index.php/replacement-option-summary But the BTU unit he used is Huawei HG850a.

I've tried to replace the L7-N-R2000 with TP-Link TL-WR841ND but always failed to connect and got the error msg "PAP Authentication failure". I'm pretty sure the PPOE password and username are correct. I called Unifi support line to get my password.

Any solution or any other wifi router recommendation?

If anyone manage to change to 3rd party router successfully, pls share the info, thanks.
