Recently I had a few disconnect on my UNIFI and upon looking at my DD-WRT /var/log/messages logs, there are lots and lots of "attacks" and logins attempts on the WAN interfaces...

Anyone else also encounter this issue ??

im still waiting for unifi / tm to open the port at my area.. plsssss.....

Hi i wanna ask about wifi installation. i stay in ridzuan condo.
will TM install using vdsl or wall drilling to put cable thru into my unit?

i havnt ask TM about this btw. but i saw my unit got telephone/vdsl adapter or socket. i applied last week ald but still no call from them :/

Hi, just checked with TM call centre, they say that after 24 months contract, if i wish to downgrade, I need to either pay RM200 penalty charge or renew another 24 months contract for the new package..

anyone here manage to downgrade without any charges or contract duration extension here?

their downgrade policy doesnt make much sense to me, they already earned my money for 2 years and now still tries to bind me to a contract if i try to change my package

http://www.tm.com.my/unifi/home/Pages/contract-terms.aspx
Upgrade & Downgrade
Customer is only allowed to upgrade or downgrade the UniFi Service package after the expiry of two (2) working days from the installation date.

Customers can upgrade or downgrade their UniFi service by visiting TMpoint, through any TM authorized sales channel (AE only) or by calling TM UniFi Center (1-300-88-1222). If a customer requests for a downgrade within the 24 month contract period, a downgrade fee of RM 200 will be charged. The existing CPE will be used unless a change is required due to the nature of the downgrade requested. For any upgrade or downgrade request that requires a visit by TM to a customer’s premises, an additional fee of RM 200 will be imposed.

-----

Unless the contactor needs to be at your place to facilitate downgrades, it should be free according to the contract terms.
Not sure if this updated or not.
Their NGN should allow them to do any modification of package speed from their end without the need to send technicians to the ipdslam or your hse...

I'm thinking of using my old pc as a router + download machine. Not sure whether it will work or not.
I'm trying to keep the number of devices to the minimum.

Because the tplink wr1043nd (it's running openwrt) only have 5 ports in total, im thinking of
port 0 aka wan port : connect to btu
port 1 - 2 : connect to pc ( I only have two PCs, the rest are wireless)
port 3 : connect to router
port 4: iptv

For the port 3(router), I'm thinking of using a single NIC and setup two virtual interfaces (vlan 1 and 500) for LAN and WAN respectively.

Here is what I have in mind. Is this workable? been too long since I touched anything regarding to network.

when unifi 5mb will upgrade to 10mb for free? since maxis fiber 10mb same price with unifi 5mb.....

thanks, however on their FAQ, it's written that any upgrade/downgrade will renew the contract period back to 24 months again.

actually, as i said, i called them up, and they gave me 2 options, and I am actually talking about the scenario when your 2 years bind contract period has matured. So after 2 years, I wanna downgrade from VIP 10 to VIP 5, only have 2 choice:
a) pay RM200 as penalty charge, and no further contract bind period
b) refresh the contract and get binded for another 2 years

both ways doesnt make sense to me, because after 2 years of contract period, you will still need to either pay, or get stuck another 2 years to get a cheaper package, it's unfair to the consumer side.

so anyone managed to downgrade here without paying nor having to get bind 2 years? otherwise i'd just find some other alternative instead, unifi speed has not been stable recently anyway

A few pointers..

- Can't u use yr TPlink as the router since it is already running openWRT ?

- Using an old PC as router is a bad idea bcos of the "higher power usage" compared to embedded appliance since you are running it 24/7, and also heat and noise from the fan...

- Get those NAS HDD with support for bittorrent like the DNS-323 or similar ( I'm running transmission-bt on mine )...

- Some of the ASUS/TPLINK routers hv UNIFI stickers and support UNIFI with the existing firmware...

Good article!

Anyone tried the bridge mode successfully with Apple Time Capsule / Airpot Express / Airport Extreme?

I want to torrent + openvpn + samba. tried that on the tplink and it's jam everything up
but well...it's expected though. it's just a tiny little router.

Yea I know using old pc as router is a bad idea with its power consumption and noise. HDD might fail as well if im using 1.

I also have extra power supply + AM3 motherboard but the problem of noise + power consumption is still there.
Atom seems good with its power consumption. but it's going to cost $$$.
Though in the long run it's the better choice.
Also, newer atoms are coming "not so soon".

I'm still exploring my options as of now.

Anyway, I've tested the configuration and it works.

I don think wat they told u is true. U can downgrade after 2 years without extra charges and without contract extension.

hi guys,

last time my unifi very strong in my room although with 2 bars of signal strength, can dota 2 and download full speed. how come now my unifi so terrible? same wifi strength, but keep disconnecting. abandoned few freaking games in a row already!! ping google.com -t shows its so unstable. from 7ms to 3k ms. wtf sia. last time steady 7-13ms like that. any solution to this?

i spent a lot buying new pc and TP-link tl-wr1043nd router already. no extra cash to buy more stuffs.. any idea what should i do to solve this w/o spending any money?

you mentioned that you are using another router now? maybe you can try my config, mine was almost the same as yours, but latency is very high due to low signal, what i did was to setup my second router as a network repeater, basically router connects to your main router, and put out wifi signal through it. with that, i get strong connection in my room now. Not sure how you config yours, but i think google should be able to find out

exactly, I was under the same impression, i remember the agent that signed me up said the same as well.

but I was asking the helpline person for a few times on that call and he say this information was being told by some marketing people that he asked..

which is why i would like to get a confirmation here, since it's always more informative then their helpline

There's free viewing of all HyppTV channels and also 10 free VOD movies from today until the 24th.

ping 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or your specific router address over wifi and view the latency... it shouldnt exceed 20ms
if it does, your wifi is to blame
if it doesnt exceed, means your connection to router is stable, the problem is at TM's side.

if it's your router what you can do is download InSSIDer to scan the wireless networks around you, view which channel/frequency is less or not used by your neighbours and select that frequency in your router.

if you have no wireless b & g devices, set your router to run wireless N mode only.
if you can run wireless N only, experiment with 40mhz setting on/off and and wmm on/off, see which gives you better performance.

also remember to set wireless security to wpa2-psk only and AES cipher only.
other wifi settings that may be relevant: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Advan...reless_settings
The concept of these reccomendations applies to most if not all routers

Router antenna position is important too, if you plan to focus the signal on the same floor, put the antennas vertical, if upstairs, horizontal, the output pattern of antennas are like this:

hey, which router did u use as network repeater? i have DIR-615 and TL-WR1043ND. i used tp-link as my main router now. yesterday i tried config the DIR-615 provided by TM for access point. it worked, but i get limited or no connectivity. the signal is full at my room whenever i turn on the d-link.. i'm not good at networking stuffs, read few hours tested this and that still not working, can't find a proper custom firmware for my DIR-615 G2..

the ping is 1ms, 2ms and <1ms..
hmm, my old pc is using TL-WN321G which runs b/g wireless only, i tested N only and the pc totally couldn't connect, so i changed it to BGN mixed.
and okay thanks bro! i'll test and give u the results!

2gbps internet in Japan!

http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/16/worlds-...an-sony-so-net/

Somehow feel so cheated that we still using 5 to 20mbps speeds for few years already.

Maybe we should be getting 100mbps upgrades...wet dreams...
