iOS Devices have problems connection to the internet using N mode. And using Google DNS helps to unblock certain websites that has been block by TM

So far I hv no problem with wireless N. I got iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and android tablet (china).

All can support wireless N. and better use wireless N will hv better coverage and speed

How would wireless N effect coverage? My current router also supports N but got problems with my iPad and PS3

This is how 802.11n plays it part in terms of coverage.

Is there any reliable DNS other than Google DNS? Because i'm quite concern with Google privacy policy. It's no secret that they're not the best when it come to privacy.

But not all N routers are well optimized. Theoretically N will double the distance and nowadays provide speeds up to 300Mbps but it's still very very limited to the firmware and hardware of the router. In some situations a classic G router might even outperform an N router in speed, coverage and consistency. When TM just launched UniFi, my friend was one of the first to get it... Living in 2 story house the upper floor suffer disconnection with laptop and sometimes undetectable with Iphone n wireless dongle. I used InSSIDer to check and found out the B/G mode's signal is stronger about 5dBi than B/G/N... thus set it to B/G mode 20MHz and the connection was stable for the laptop and apple devices. But that was quite some time ago with the 1st firmware... notworthy.gif

Also there was a 40Mhz setting bug which prevented some devices from connecting properly. When a connection is established, the device needs to signal the router whether it is capable of transmitting in 40Mhz mode as part of the handshake. Some high end routers will allow the incapable device to connect to the main 20Mhz, while still broadcasting in 40Mhz. Some will completely drop to 20Mhz. Some might fail to do anything, thus preventing the connection to even be established. This is usually a firmware problem. Also, 40Mhz does not mean more speed or coverage instantly. If the router is in a noisy environment (many AP broadcasting around it) 40Mhz might cause more interference and the router has to drop wireless packets. Also to mention, if the router has a lousy controller, enabling 40Mhz will degrade the SNR of the connection because it induces too much noise.

An analogy would be using cheap speakers, turning up the volume all the way, u get cracking and distortion and the music turns into noise, which makes it harder for you to hear what's being transmitted into your ears.

Anyone else having problem with N connectivity and speeds can try checking their router and make sure WMM is enabled, and security must be WPA2 + AES cipher ONLY. The N spec requires this security mode to operate at full speed. Unless you have really outdated device that cannot utilize WPA2/AES, then use the multiple modes. But this means that if that device is connected, you'll never get full N. notworthy.gif

Any Unifi user here facing slow connection to  http://www.twitch.tv/ and http://grooveshark.com/? YouTube streaming also become noticeably slower at 720p and 1080p. Can no longer stream without waiting for buffer.

Unifi VIP10 connection to U.S. normally can reach what speed? Local connection tested using speedtest seems ok.

Same here. For the past couple of weeks already. Missing out on my favourite tournaments and my viewers are not satisfied without my grooveshark playing while I stream sad.gif

Hi, I am experiencing slowness when trying to access Unif-based internet service since this morning.

It is totally unbearable to the extent that I got timed out most of the time when attempting to access google.com.

Is anyone experiencing this? ohmy.gif

Hmm, I remember one comparison was done between Malaysia vs Singapore's internet svc: Malaysia's svc is "best effort" while Singapore's svc is guaranteed.

Now I am using my phone's 3G connection as an alternative. sweat.gif
