Hi bros,

Noob here.

I plan to get this router to replace the existing one provided by TM UNifi. Problem is due to the signal is too weak when I tried to use my tablet or phone in my room. It is located in the living room, and my room is at the other end.
So, can I actually just remove the TM provided device, and replace it with this one?

Can anyone provide the setup steps or things to consider before getting this router?
Thanks.

this is a good router, imo. i bought it 2 months back, very happy. strength and coverage very good for 2 storey house incl all corners.

.. direct replacement of the unifi router, nothing else.
.. put the cables back same way - one of the ports is for hypptv, can't use others.
.. u need to call unifi to get password - this not the same one as yr wifi password.
.. installation, watch this video first:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7VUBSFy_es
.. if buying at shop, the guy there can pre-install everything for u incl password if u hv it.

not so difficult to install. enjoy more stable and stronger signals. wink.gif

Hi Bro, same problem here.
After a month of usage for Asus RT-N12HP, it will be always disconnected & disappeared from my wifi range.
I try ping it in CMD & realised actually it was always disconnected and connect back for internet.
Do you found the solution?

I'm facing the same problem here, after used for 1 month, the wifi signal will disappear and disconnect. This happened on and off, it's very difficult as sometime i'm unable to get online back. Any solution for this? Thanks

I'm currently using the same router, so far no issues yet, keep fingers crossed.

But I did change some wireless settings on first use. Just wanna find out from you guys, what did you set for the following?

Which channel did you set? Auto? or from 1 to 11?
Channel Width: Auto/20 MHz/40 MHz?
Did you leave the Wireless Scheduler (in the Professional tab) enabled, or disabled it?

Guys, i may be out of topic, but hope to get some assistance. i have the ASUS RT-N14UHP (3 antenna) - 3 of them. just replaced one with the Unifi modem. it's so easy and works flawlessly speed and better coverage.

My issue is the report. My management is asking 'how many wifi's are connected' ? simple ques indeed, i went to Wireless log under system log, it shows a whole list of log file.. but hard for me know which is 'currently connected to wifi'...

anyone tried to see that log before?
the old D-link router shows the wifi client connected, easy just take the figure and put in report tongue.gif

go to general/network map/clients/client status/refresh - only current active ones will be shown.

Yes, but this shows everything - including LAN and Wifi..

i think i found the temporary solution,

invoke this command in cmd and check for channel that no one is using
netsh wlan show all

Go to Professional tab and change "Tx Power Adjustment" to 40

Last remove one of the antenna, now the wifi signal seems better with no connection drop issue.

You guys can try to ignore the first two step and just remove one of the antenna, see whether this can help or not

tried removing 1 antenna, same problem still.
my wired connection is ok but the wireless just doesnt work, even if its does, its no longer than 1 min and then dc.
is this due to an overheating problem?

like to make a note here about this asus rt n12hp router...

today, i shutdown everything incl unifi modem and asus router to replace a power panel .

when i start them up again, the modem showed no signs of connecting anything as seen with the lights.

tried 3 times power down n up, no result.

then i put back the old unifi router, everything connected.

lastly, with modem still on, shut down the old router, replace with asus, power it up, all is ok.

anyone has an explanation for this? hmm.gif

means i mustn't junk the old router yet! blush.gif
