I can use my office user/pass at my house and vice versa but of course only 1 session per login is allowed.

Hi Guys

Just got my unifi installed yest. So far speed good for VIP 5. Only porblem is wifi range is not as good. Can only get 1-2 bars in my bedroom and the tm router is in living room.

I am considering between adding a repeater (Aztech WL556E) upstairs to increase the wifi range or will changing the router to tplink (W8960N or WR841N) or any other brand increase the wifi coverage? Both should be around the same price i think..

By the way will adding a repeater affect the network speed or will it be neglible when I use the internet upstairs?

Hope any of you with similar experience or have previously solved this issue share your solutions

Thanks

P.S Can I be added to the ever growing list of unifi subcribers?

Hi I've been using Unifi since September last year. All this while I've no problem using it with multiple devices at home. But for the past few weeks, I've been having difficulties surfing the net using my Dell laptop.

I can connect to it without any problem. But the connections were very unstable and really slow most of the time as well. Connecting to it using my iPad and iPhone at the same time, I found that it was at its normal fast speed. I can stream videos on Youtube without any waiting. I have another laptop at home that can also login and surf with high speed as well.

At first I thought its that particular Dell laptop's problem. But using that laptop to surf net elsewhere shows that it can login and surf at high speed too, so definitely its not a problem with that laptop.

Anyone here had similar problem? Hope someone can help me coz I tried google for answers on the net but couldn't find any solution

I used the DIR-655 for Streamyx too. Fantastic router. Unfortunately there's no way to use it directly with UniFi. You'll still need the DIR-615. What you do is set the DIR-615 as a bridge and the DIR-655 for PPPoE, similar to a Streamyx modem/router setup. More info here: http://unifi.athena.my/

cheras area, inconsistent speed since last night

like some "spike"... downloading 550kb/s then drop to 1-2 kb/s (not dc) then rise again...

now slow down at 250kb/s, on direct download from ftp & http , company's server.

anyone know how do i check my router load ? I am on TPLink841N

Torrenting here at Sg Long at 5mbps, no probs. Could be it server-side prob?

What's with the freakin disconnection?

If I'm truly fed-up, I can buy out the two(2) years contract; pay RM500.

Make me sick.

Download disrupted

WTF!

Try power cycling the BTU and wireless router.

It isn't great but not that bad. My neighbor's DIR-615 is in his back room on the ground floor and I still get 2 bars on my iPhone when I'm at my gate. Probably a distance of about 70ft. However in my bedroom, closer but 1 floor up, the signal is worse.

Yes I would agree. The DLINK wireless range is not that bad. My house, every corner got coverage.

Finally I got my DIR-655 in working state. Thanks for your link and assist. Now it's way better. Stupid DIR-615 shit.

Cursing the router not going to help. hehe

@47ronin
Your setup looks good. Just make sure to disable the DHCP servers on the WRT54G and 841ND. Do a LAN switch -> LAN port connection if you have not setup the WAN port on those routers in passthrough mode.

@izzat80
It's a separate chip and interface but most routers utilize a software bridge to connect the wifi interface to the LAN switch chip interface.

guys just wanted to ask that the default router given by tm DIR-615 sucks a lot?
recently register unifi but have to wait few more days...really hope that is FEW more days

It isn't that bad. I was using it for a month. It can handle non-stop direct downloads and even torrents if you limit your # of connections < 50. But too many connections (including half-open ones) will eventually slow it down to a crawl and crash the router. I'd say it's works just fine for someone who doesn't torrent much. e.g.: my neighbor's DIR-615 is probably close to 130 days uptime now.

In any case, there are plenty of alternatives from cheap TPLinks to Asus to Routerboards. I'm currently using a Routerboard RB750GL.
