mine is just keep simple only just to replace the 1 digit only, for example abcde1.asuscomm.com in my old router then replace to abcde2.asuscomm.com in my new router.

so I just need to re-register my old router DDNS to other name in order to de-register my current DDNS? This really works? I just thought that if I re-register so many hostname in the same router then later all the hostnames were being used for the same router.

this may help you

ok, now go to WAN > Internet Connection, take out a paper and pen. or use notepad to copy down your unifi user name and password and screen shot the rest important settings.

Or you can just backup your router settings directly, in Administration > Restore/Save/Upload Setting > Save setting (tick also transfer DDNS name if you have). Then reset your router then retry again after restored your settings.

ok, you can try contact TM to ask them to reset port. Someone say their 800mbps only can get 300mbps, after TM reset port then now can reach the correct speed.

This router is not a gigabit router, the wifi speed labeled as 300mbps but doesn't mean that your LAN port can reach 300mbps.

You can check your router ports here > https://www.asus.com/my/Networking/RTN12_D1/specifications/
It is 10/100 Base LAN, not a 1000 Base gigabit LAN port.

So you need to upgrade your router now, for at least RT-AC66U, or get a better RT-AC68U. My suggestion is RT-AC86U if you can effort.

Buy in local with Malaysia warranty or see here

I think you better get a better Asus Lyra Trio (for 500mbps) because Asus Lyra is not powerful enough to max up your 500mbps.

I think the stock Asus firmware will automatic detect your region fiber optics. I was just bought a RT-AC86U from China too at last few weeks only. I was quite worry about the compatibility issue too before that but thanks to a bro was shared his experience. Mine is China version but when I plug in from my unifi btu, the router will automatically detect my fiber broadband region. So there has a drop down list to let me to choose "Unifi-home" in the LAN > IPTV option.

You also can do manual setting, just set Internet to 500, in case if you not find "Unifi-home" in the drop down list. I did not mess with merlin custom firmware, I just use the stock firmware. I did not modify or upgrade the firmware since it is already the latest firmware version during I received the router.

Just look for AC routers, just to avoid N routers. You need 802.11ac wifi routers with gigabit ethernet.

you may check inside LAN > IPTV, the setting "IPTV STB Port" will tell you which port was set to IPTV.
LAN4 or LAN8, you may refers to there.

it is global firmware. If you plug to a TM BTU, the Asus router will automatically detect your line is belong to certain fiber optics region.

Buy from China sure got stock. I don't mind if no warranty to claim because I have confident on Asus routers. Just attach fan on the router to avoid heating.

You can buy one to build aimesh. China asus routers are much more cheaper than Malaysia too but I still can connect it to unifi without issue.

about AX11000
It's around RM2,800~RM2,900 in China

It is quite true because video is shared my Asus MY official.

Quite good already can get 11.7mbps dl and 4.5mbps ul. Since vdsl2 speed reducing is depends on the length of copper wire.

Have you attach fans at the behind of your router to reduce heat? I heard that RT-AC68U is always got overheat issue and will reduce performance when overheating.

NAT Acceleration will consume much of CPU usage and overheating. Like you say if disable can get stable 300mbps.
Or you can upgrade to RT-AC86U and make your current router as AiMesh node. RT-AC86U do not has NAT acceleration option because its CPU is already powerful enough to speed up your 500mbps.

AC86U don't have overheating issue, CPU is 1.8Ghz dual core. Faster than AC88U and has a very powerful long range 2.4Ghz.

You modem got Nat Acceleration option too? in the LAN > Switch Control

perhaps you need to call @ASUSmy for help.
only @ASUSmy can help you to fix the firmware and share their fixed beta firmware to you.

Hi, if you want to set your 2.4 & 5GHz both to same SSID, perhaps you need to buy a higher-end router.
RT-AC86U got the smart connect feature which allow you to connect both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz without reconnection downtime issue.

Here is the feature to solve 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz problem. When I go far will automatic switch to 2.4GHz and go near will automatic switch to 5GHz.
