Okay, I just got my unifi VIP10 installed two days ago. Since I can't get the wifi signal at all when I was up in my room upstairs, I asked the technician to come back and replaced the TM router to Cisco E1500.
I was testing the download speed on mediafire and comparing it with Streamyx 1MBPS package in my room:

Streamyx: 80 kb/s
Unifi: 150 kb/s

Is this normal? It's just ridiculous since I didn't get even 10% of the advertised speed. I'm so freaking pissed right now.
*
Mediafire isn't a good way to test speed.
Try speedtest.

If you're installing RG at different location than STB, I always advised my friends who are renovating their house to pull 2 cat5e cables from RG to TV location. This is because network cannot share same cable with STB and it would come in handy when you want to add media player, bd-live or smart tv in future. Irony is myself only install one cable because there is no Unifi when I did my renovation several years ago.

You can actually run two separate network devices using 1 Ethernet cable. Google for "network splitter". Ethernet cables have 8 wires but only 4 are used. It's not really perfect but it saves you having to hack the wall and run new cables. The cost is very minimal.

Another option is to use mikrotik routers to do vlan tagging and untagging

Does anyone know whether I can get a 100m long ethernet cable online/around KL? The longest I've found on lelong is 30m..
*
Custom make...shops in lowyat can offer this service or even forumers in the tradezone
But do realize that 100m is the max for Ethernet cable so get good quality cble

the staff say just need to connect phone cable. but when I checked back,
my home doesn't have port for the phone cable.is that mean I can't install unifi?

How do your neighbours get fixed phone services then?
Is your apartment covered by Unifi?

If they don't pay, it'll be your responsibility. Your name will be the one that is blacklisted.

thanks for info. So that I should buy 2 routers(same model) then configured them in to bridged.
So when router A is connect to WAN, the devices which use wired LAN to connect router B are able to access internet?
*
one can be any normal router with wifi..connect to WAN..no need to be same as B

the second one is the wireless bridge
An example of such thing is TP-Link TL-WA801ND. I know it says access point but it can be a wireless bridge too.
Another example is Linksys WET610N

How far are the two sites? Can't pull cable?

Hmmm, my firmware must have been pretty outdated. Thanks for the info

The broadcast quality on Hypptv TV3 compared to ASTRO TV3 is enormous. The quality on Hypptv is way way way better, both sound and picture. hmm.gif

Astro had to heavy compress due to traffic ?
*
Astro has to heavily compress to fit more channels. but then, if you're using HDMI on HyppTV and composite on Astro, that might cause huge differences.

I also realize that normal SD channels on the b.yond HD box is more crappy than the normal SD receiver box.

Yes I am using Astro B.yond. I must say the channel quality im comparison to Astro and Hypptv, Hypptv wins hands down. Im referring to TV1, TV2, TV3
*
There was only one generation of SD receivers that had the component out..and that was the best IMHO..
I believe byond box purposely degrades SD channels so you would subscribe to HD.

if your speedtest is like that consistently with original unifi equipment, call unifi helpline..they'll send a technician over
