I use phone to create hotspot. Got 512MB Ram, 1.4GHz CPU. Ain't that better?

Just kidding

vip20 install complete~~register at 11th feb~~install today~~very fast~~

congrats. so, what is your review on this ?

No use my router can run for weeks and months without the need to charge or overheat lok

Maybe u use a fakap firmware version :-)

I want to change to a new router, Asus N16U have wifi antenna ?

TM system seem late or misconfigured.

I also get the same Thanks SMS early in the morning.

Which i clear more than 1 week ago.

Today noon, receive another SMS and Email.

"Your February bill is available, please logon to myUnifi Portal for viewing and payment"

sometimes you wonder, are they really try give customer this impressions.

"Thank you for your payment, Ok, now please pay again."

at least now not sending debt collecting agency to collect the on time "PAID" payment like last January.

That really will set you off.

There is a separate 8Mbps bandwidth channel (VLAN600) for your IPTV while your Internet access is at 5Mbps (VLAN500). So, watching IPTV should NOT cause your Internet speed becomes slower.

But if you do face the problem with lagging Internet access while watching IPTV, very likely it is the router! It's well-known that the router provided by TM is not good enough to handle a large number of packets especially when watching IPTV, hence, the slowdown is probably caused by the router.

Perhaps, change to your own router (find one that supports UniFi with IPTV such as TP-Link TL-WR841ND) can help!

3:30am. I think IT guy forgot to configure timezone to GMT+8. :-)

bro, can you explain why higher ram is useful for router?

I asked the question if the hardwares he listed are existing... I did not get a reply to it initially.

If they are existing and if the plan is to keep using them, then no choice but to live with all the other equipment.

Like they say, you can't have the cake and eat it. A simple and better solution in the longer run is to upgrade to the RT-N56U. That is not carved in stone and remains as a mere suggestion to simplify the network and get the best network performance money can buy.

LOL For your info, I gave a suggestion and got shot with the rich parent thingy. Sorry if you think I stepped on your shoes.

+1 I guess sometimes you try to give advise but people put it down because they talk as if they have used the item before. Anyway, it's no loss and we don't get a single sen by promoting the Asus.

I don't think you offended anybody. I'm certainly not offended by anybody. Just a small misundersting on the usage of emoticons. That's all.

Ok. Understood. If I were you, I'll try and sell the other stuff if it's possible. But then again, that's just me.

In all honesty, I don't think you'd be chalking up a lot of electricity bills running those equipment 24/7

Just some very rough estimations...

Asus RT-N56U - 19V x 1.58A = 30W

vs

TP Link TL-WR841ND - 9V x 0.6A = 5.4W
Asus GX-D1081 - 12V x 1A = 12W (Just pick a normal 8 port Gigabit switch)
Asus RT-N16 - 12V x 1.25A = 15W
Linksys WRT54G - 12V x 0.5A = 6W

Total = 38.4W

8.4W extra is not much. Extra RM 1.23 more per month (if you're on the 1 - 200 kWh per month tariff) or RM 1.89 more per month (if you're on the 201 - 300 kWh per month tariff) or RM 2.26 more per month (if you're on the 301 - 400 kWh per month tariff) than if you use the RT-N56U.

So power consumption wise is not much. For me, i would see the gains in terms of less clutter (more simplified) and better network performance going with the RT-N56U.

That looks fine.

8 port? over estimate.

diagram earlier via Powerpoint 2007

want better diagram/ process flow tool? use SmartDraw ---> http://bit.ly/DiagramToolSmartDraw

@jchue73 -- tq for the TNB bill calculation.

1 thing about the R56U offers that other wireless router within that price range can do is, concurrent dual radio dual band wireless-N.

Of course you can use multiple AP to solve this problem, which will introduce more clutter.

I do agree that R56U is overpriced, but for the features it has, its good for people who are willing to spend for it.

Anyway time to retire the R56U, make way for R66U

My crimper until now haven't arrive. Dunno sesat go where

E2000 linksys router can be used for our unifi or not including IPTV?

No, bro. In retrospect I'm the one who should be sorry. I sincerely apologize to you for my sarcasm & the things I said or implied.

If I could I'd offer my hand for a shake. But since we're behind our PCs, would you FTP to my server? That would be a handshake, TCP wise.

As for the root cause of all this, it's all 47ronin's doing with his question and PowerPoint diagram! I think it's time we gang up on him. :-)

Added on February 17, 2012, 6:25 pmMore ram means the router can have a bigger connection table, more firewall rules, more queues and rules for QoS, more features running like BT clients, download managers, file servers, etc.

IMHO the most important is the connection table because this one is very dynamic and can grow out of hand very fast especially when using BitTorrent or there are many concurrent users. That's why you see cheaper routers hang or slowdown when running BT. Just like a PC when it runs low on mem.

However more ram also needs to be complemented by a faster CPU otherwise the router cannot keep up with all the connections.

Anyone else experiencing bad routing + slow speed?

till now no problem at all~~

Routing to which host? I'm getting usual 10 hops to my webhost in the US. 7 to twitter.com. 6 to cloudflare SG.
Route looks the same to me. Pings are high though 200-300ms to the first two, 15ms to SG.

What IP are on? I tried both 175.139.x.x and 210.195.x.x. Routing looks identical.

But speed seems to be fine here in Sg Long. Where r u?

I'm getting connection timeouts to my shell in US. Confirmed the server itself is up and running - others can access. Connections to a server in Korea are also very slow. Last week was getting good speeds (same ip, did not disconnect).

110.159.*

Also every single filehost I try (rapidshare, etc) I get 10 KB/s or timeout after a few mins.

In TTDI now.

What a coincidence, I was at TTDI shophouses this afternoon. Complain to TM, reboot router?

But for Rapidshare me also really slow downloading. Quote from jDownloader forums:

HOw's the torrent speed using UNIFI?
