Since I upgraded to UNIFI VIP 5 package from my old streamyx 4mpbs .!! its sucks i tell you !!


:I keep getting frequent disconnection from every website i go , like google.com, when I saw the status bar at the bottom left , it keep showing looking up google.com . Means that It still dont have any connection and its trying to look up what the f*** is google.com

When it connect , I get one more thing is more frustrating .... its facebook & youtube ... whether I logged into facebook , i clicked home (news feed ) , it runs but all the hell pictures wont load up at all !!!

SAME AS YOUTUBE !! I load a video .. seems to be normal ... then what i discovered was only the video was loaded not the thumbnails on the side or whatever was loaded ??
WTF


anybody have some opinion on this ?? I'm a new member on lowyat !! PLEASE HELP !!!

God.. You've gotta visit TM to complain about it.
Many people is happy with their 5mbps by the way

That looking up phase being stuck in your internet browser implies that it cannot resolve the IP address of the website.

Try changing your DNS to google's (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS (208.67.220.220) and see what happens.

just complain to tm ..

mine also same, but it only happen recently
i think too many people subscribe to it (especially maxis users), and their device/hardware unable to handle it

Rants -> Broadband user to user

i face the same problem as well.

you know i think its the router having trouble receiving signal from pc.

i ma try switching to unifi enabled router w custom fw.

i think it'll solve the problem.

Most likely its TM dns serers acting up again.

Same case here TS. Just upgraded from streamyx 4mbps to VIP5. But the latter's performance (VIP5) isn't as good as the former's (streamyx 4mbps).

- I need to refresh every new website that I open in order for me to be able
to view it properly.
- No photos on facebook (opened from iphone/ipad).
- Signal unstable, eventhough the router is just sitting in front of me.

After 1 day of using, I am already thinking of "downgrading" to my previous 4mbps. But it seems that there's no cooling off period (COP) for this unifi, is it true?

*sigh*

There are probelms with the default TM DNS. Use alternative and it goes away. Already reported to TM months back and not sure they fixed it. You can see PING dropping packets when you ping TM DNS

where to change that? and do i need to sign up with the opendns.com?

just change it at the tcp/ip configuration for you adapter or lan connection

well im really noob in this thing. is it change for router or the pc?

just change it your pc will be easier.

goto network connection, click properties,
click tcp/ip4
uncheck automatic dns, enter dns u want at the boxes, click ok.

if confuse, just google,
how to change dns at my computer

Find the network configuration for Internet Protocol as known as [IPv4] , click properties and will get a window box pop-up whether u wanna obtain both the IP and DNS server automatically or either the manual !!

Under the DNS , u can change the settings to manual and you should key in the preferred and alternate dns address

Preferred : 208.67.222.222
Alternate : 208.67.220.220


I think in later MAC 10.5 version ... is under >>> system preference > view > network > under network u might find your wifi name and just anyhow go in to it under the properties and change the DNS..

Sorry , i'm not a mac user ... but anyhow I can configure my mom's iPhone ..., but usually it dont have any preferred or alternate DNS keybox ... it will just say DNS .... then u have to change it to 208.67.220.220 or the other one !!

Can I just change the router DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 so that I no need to change DNS on my gadgets and devices?
