Contractor just came to my house and installed UNIFI yesterday. And there seem to be a problem with the wireless mode. I'm connected to the modem wirelessly with my macbook pro and i get frequently disconnected every 5 minutes. Even when I'm like 1 meter away from the modem. Wired connection works perfectly though. Was wondering whether I received a problematic modem or is there something wrong with my macbook pro?
Do assist me. Thanks in advance.

Under Wireless Settings, look for bandwidth. Change from 20/40 to 20Mhz.

I'm facing this problem too. Just had my Unifi installed yesterday. I wanted to blame the crappy router but it seems that only my macbook pro is facing the connection issue or maybe other users in my house didn't complain yet.

I gave up on the crappy TM router and just bought a TP-Link WR841ND router for RM88 instead. Been working flawlessly for now. Hope you'll get to solve your issue.

Any configurations to do when setting up that router?
Because I'm clueless bout all this. I just want to use the net wirelessly without and disconnections and how's the connection strength? As I'll be situated about 2 metres from the router.

Residential gateway - placed it back on it's original box. Keep it on the safe place. When TM technician want to troubleshoot your connection, plug in back when they on the way to your home.

TV box aka IPTV - Connect your red lan cable to the LAN PORT 4 of TL-WR841ND router.

So, basically everything will be still the same, unless you're using the new router which is far more stable and consistent than DIR-615 or TM RnD router.

You can get TL-WR841ND as low as RM80 at Lowyat. I even saw someone at garage sales sell the TL-WR841ND for just RM75... smile.gif

To setup your TL-WR841ND, you can refer to Klseet's website.... Here's the link : http://klseet.com/index.php?option=com_con...e&id=7&Itemid=6

Yup it's all the same because configuring or flashing the router is done through the internet browser, so it doesn't matter what OS you're using.
