no need to explain, lol. Celcom Home Fiber the ISP is based on Sabah only and soon will spread to Sarawak. So far west Malaysia don't have Celcom Home Fiber but only has 4G internet but I was read the news from Chinese newspaper about Celcom is planning to expand their fiber to west Malaysia in future. Unifi and Maxis are based on west Malaysia. What I know TM was pulled the undersea fiber cable from Johor to Kuching. Then pull from Sarawak from south until north then lastly is whole Sabah.

Why need me to explain so many times? You can ask Celcom provider directly. However, not all places in Sabah here got coverage. Only certain area such like Tawau and rural area such like Ranau etc. They don't expand to Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan because both towns were occupied by TM.

yes, you need to upgrade everything. No matter is router or wifi adapter.

The simplest way is buy a best value 50 meters cat 6 cable from lazada or shopee, then pull by yourself through behind the shelves to hide the cable, then put the cable at the side corner of stairs until upstairs then hide with floor mat.

The costly way, you need to consume a lot of money to hire people who are doing renovation. You need to drill hole tunnel on your wall to hide the LAN cable up to ceiling then pull it up until the wall of upstairs then make a CAT 6 LAN Socket on the wall.

When you see the box already, you have to wait for 1 month to get your home unified.

it is wifi limitation. 2.4Ghz only limit at maximum 90~100mbps. Usually we can get around 80mbps+.
my home with 500mbps, only connect to 5GHz to get maximize speed but usually is 300mbps+ only. Need to do few more times speedtest to get 400mbps+. Never get full 500mbps. I'm with RT-AC86U as main router and RT-AC55UHP as access point. Sometimes, my RT-AC55UHP performs better than my main router. The speed can reach 460~470mbps. Even my main router not always get that speed.

However, for long range wifi signal. Still my main router is stronger but when I walk to further range, from my main router at upstairs to dining room at downstairs. My phone is still connected with my upstairs main router but not the downstairs access point. The speed is around 40mbps +, not bad for long range. Only when I go to living room at downstairs, my phone will automatic switch to access point. Speed around 300~400mbps+.

most of the time, I only choose Telekom Malaysia as my speedtest server. The iSkill KK server ping is quite high because TM unifi in east malaysia here need to send packet back to west Malaysia first, there already consume around 25ms, then return back to east malaysia then consumed another 25ms. So when I do speedtest with local area server, never get lower than 10ms. Most server are 40~50ms. Sometimes 60ms.

So sad, we can't get the lowest ping like west Malaysia do. Users in west Malaysia can get 0ms ping, which is the lowest record I ever seen.

option 1:
if both btu & wireless router put side by side
pull LAN cable from wireless router LAN1, LAN2 & LAN3

option 2:
if you want to put wireless router at upstair:
pull from btu LAN1

I suggest the first option, so you can pull another 3 extra LAN cables maybe to dining room, upstairs, study room. So you can buy 1 or 2 more wireless router to set as AP mode.

lol, full copper? Use the Cat7 LAN cable already.

my office in Asia City, KK has recently been upgraded to turbo 500mbps but the office network switch is using an old 100mbps ethernet switch. Speedtest on PC only has 100mbps dl/up. What a waste.

The router which given by TM is TP-Link AC1200. By connected to 5GHz, test with my phone near the router, 300mbps~330mbps on download and 100~130mbps upload speed. When I go back to my seat, 200mbps on download and 60~90mbps on upload speed.

so what router? Asus GT-AC5300? Asus RT-AX88U or Asus GT-AX11000?

For me should be get at least Asus RT-AC86U to optimise up to 800mbps download speed.

many ppl ask this question, check your BTU, router, LAN cable, network switch make sure is gigabit switch not megabit switch.
the most importantly is get ready to save money and wait for upcoming 12.12 because you need $$$ to buy new router.
please do more visit taobao.
Lastly, this post may help you https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=91010211
get ready to aim for a cheap Asus RT-AC86U

my upgrade for unifi turbo 500mbps.

hi, just switch to server: Telekom Malaysia for best results. The reason is because Unifi is a west Malaysia ISP. Their main server are mainly based on KL/PJ/Cyberjaya.
So we cannot choose the local Sabah/Sarawak server to do speedtest because the speed you may get lower in results. You already wasted 26~30ms ping to receive/send data between Sabah/Sarawak to West Malaysia. So if you do speedtest lets say you pick this server "i-Skill Dynamic". You will get higher ping like around 50~60ms. It is because you need to send data back to West Malaysia then send again to Sabah. After the server receive your request, then TM have to receive data from i-Skill Dynamic Sabah back to west Malaysia, then only going back to your modem again from West Malaysia to here in Sabah/Sarawak.

That's why the ping of Unifi in west Malaysia always less than 10ms, Sabah/Sarawak users always get between 25~30ms ping.


There have "Change Server" option under the GO button. Just type "Telekom Malaysia Berhad", you will see two selections. Pick anyone then start your speedtest again.
Sometimes 350mbps, sometimes 400mbps, sometimes more than 450mbps. Depends on the range from your router.

I'm using iPhone 7 Plus too.

best result on wifi but not always can get that much speed.


I did not set wifi to 80mhz, just leave everything in auto and enabled dual-band smart connect


Also switch off everything unnecessary to get maximum speed. Disable AiProtection, disable traffic analyzer, Disable adaptive QoS, Disable Game boost, disable aidisk, disable aicloud, disable VPN server,

Disable Internet Security Software on your PC if you test on Windows.

No problem on downloading and surfing the internet. Both unifi in my home which located at between Likas/Kolombong and Unifibiz for my office in Asia City are running smooth.
Just the problem that I'm currently facing is my home internet can't always get full speed when doing speedtest. Mostly just 430~480mbps.

Recently the unifi in Sabah here is getting worse. Ping get higher till 33ms, and speed max only can get 480mbps out of my 500mbps subscribed speed.

yes

RM189 at this price usually will only get 500mbps. However, have you tried to request TM to reduce price to RM179? You should try if can because mine is RM179 for 500mbps.

My Asus router can't login to Asus DDNS and also can't visit http://speedtest.tm.com.my/

Both of my office and home Unifi also facing the same problems.
Also can't login to some website, such like mega.nz. I can visit mega.nz but stuck at loading screen when I login to my account.
