unless someone has the same experience, i am experiencing now. Either TMNut is promoting Unifi or trying to force us to register unifi, i got total 3 calls from 'unknown' whom they said to be tm and ask us to register through phone. My mum (who received the call) agreed abd apply for vip5 and she tell us they need our IC photocopy and fax to them.

BTW, the fax number is 78037823

Is it me or is it my headache, had it all night coz of it......(Unifi available in my area few months ago)

update: regarding of the appointment it looks like i'm wrong, tm said i need to wait one month until they can start the installation. Is it normal for us to wait one month for it, i wonder???

Hi guys last time i siad that i had to wait for a month for the installation (i apply for vip5) yesterday my mom received a sms from unifi about the installation date. It was at tomorrow morning, but i had some question:

1. It mentioned about the confirmation slip but i didn't received. Should i wait or do something about it??

2. My computers (2 desktop) are upstairs and television at downstair (we don't want hassle about the wire during the installation, so should i buy a wifi adapter or is it mandatory to have a computer and television on the same floor??

tq in advance

This should be a typical VIP10/BIZ10 speed. 10Mbps is about 1.25MBps while you're downloading at 1MBps. If and only if you're on VIP10. Besides that, there may be unhealthy seed, causing you unable to hit full speed.
Just reboot it. Or you can choose to switch to TP-Link or asus. I'm now using TP-link TL-WR841ND. So far so good. It can sustain 15 days no downtime(no disconnection at all) and someone else showed 29days no downtime. It's just RM80 if you can make it to lowyat to buy it. Other places should be around RM85~100.
When I'm using that DIR615, I'm really fed up. Reboot at least once a day because me and my housemate are having quite heavy usage. It just can't handle well. Sometimes the signal just gone crazy, totally disappear from my housemates' laptop. Few of them can't detect them at all while others still manage to online. Weird enough? Yeah... xD
My suggestion, get a replacement router.
1. Check your email you used to register UniFi. I received an email for that.

2. You can choose...
i) Homeplug @ downstair -> Homeplug @ upstair ->Switch ->Two desktops
But you need to know whether your wiring from downstair to upstair is in phase

ii) Another router to do wireless bridge upstair. Then you can connect both desktops through LAN to that router

iii) Two wireless adaptors. Mind you, don't buy from TM. Theirs is quite crappy. Another thing I worried about is that the wireless router given by TM might not have signal strong enough to reach your 1st floor. "Might not", not 100% cannot.

Anyway, it's not mandatory to have desktops and TV in the same floor but you need to do the wiring/other alternatives in order to connect them.
The setup is basically

FTB -> BTU ->phone (DECT)
..................-> DIR615 -> STB

You also need to know from where the fibre will be pulled into your house in order to plan the setup.
Btw, welcome to UniFi family  nod.gif

1. Already called Customer Support to resend the confirmation slip

2. thanks i will consider about it. The wiring will be at downstairs since the tm greeen box is at the back alley and the small telephone box is at downstairs. Also:

i) may consider about it......

ii) u mean router compatible with UniFi?? Any brands recommended and how??

iii) i will take it as a backup plan since i only use wifi with my phone (HTC Sensation)

anyway thanks
