3. Unplug or move existing wiring especially cables that connect the Fibre Wall Socket (FWS) to the BTU and BTU to the RG/BG.

me lol

Called Unifi few days ago and the only thing they can do is reset the port. Apparently they can't create report because the speed meter already meet expectation speed

as long as your connection in good condition, that ok.... basically i always unplugged the fiber cable to move the router/ont....even i disassemble the small white box to take the cable to put inside the pipe(my room got renovation, before use white casing, now pipe inside the wall...)

just make sure take care of the tip of the cable(take some precaution like bungkus with plastic bag) as the dust might trap there and you will have some degradation....

for vip5.. can reach 580kBps (kilobyte per secon.. or 0.5mBYTEps)
what prog u using for torrent? try bitcomet if ur speed is not max and don forget to forward ports ....

1. I've never used TM DNS since the availability of GoogleDNS about 2010? It was quite bad back then, now not too sure, although it seem much better. If what u did fixed it for you, then that should be the problem.

2. Can show screenshot of where u changed the option for the dns? And the screenshot of 'dns not validated'?
Reboot the router? Maybe u can try to flushdns and registerdns in windows? Use another browser? Rarely u need to do this, but sometimes it helps.

3, if u have the budget you can look for routers designed to support UniFi. The stock router doesnt work too well especially when there's an active IPTV session + firewall enabled (heat+memory issue?) The router tends to delay/QOS packets... For example when u do Speedtest ,the speed will be about 2Mbps for 5 sec climbing slowly, then jump to 15Mbps and finish, as if the data was delayed, then suddenly released to you. This happened on a friend's router, so i turned off the IPTV which kinda helped, then turned off the firewall because windows already has a built in firewall, reduce redundancy and there was no more 'initial delay' or router hang. This was for one of the earlier firmwares(software), not too sure about now but i'm quite sure the hardware isn't very capable, not saying it's bad because Maxis's is even worse, it's good for the cost but to some people it isn't enough.

Disable the Firewall (use PC firewall) + don't use IPTV + disabled Remote Management (turn it on only when you call TM and required to turn it on for investigation from their side) + use GoogleDNS + use B/G/N with WPA2-PSK, AES cipher ONLY with WMM enabled (all must be exactly that for maximum N throughput) is the best thing u can do.

firewall, yes router firewall...  with firewall enabled i felt p2p with multiple (300+) connections opened cause the router to be sluggish and every device that is connected to the router will be slow except the one p2p-ing somehow. mine was with the latest firmware 7.13? before i custom firmware a better router = )

for port forwarding you can refer to: http://unifi.athena.my/router_config.php
really good site for unifi info = )

in fact, not only firefox, chrome sometimes too with the older versions.
especially if you have a lot of extension and add-on inside the browser, it can cause serious incompatibility and can affect speed and stability. which is why i keep my browser clean. no toolbars, no a single add-on and extension except java, flash & adobe reader.

i've learnt this lesson before the hard way. had to reformat my whole pc last time because of a crazy chinese add on toolbar which cannot be removed forever no matter what i did. it shows removed and not inside firefox, but it's still running. worse than yours, halfway browsing i will be redirected to some random page. if other pc's are not affected badly then you can be sure it's yours... personal opinion, chrome is the best browser now as firefox is slowly becoming heavy on the system since a couple versions ago..
