My home subscribe unifi, modem and router is at downstairs, online speed at downstairs is ok. But upstairs is very poor, sometime even cannot connect to it.

Anyone can help in this situation? Like should I buy any repeater or something else to solve it..?



I bought this and put upstairs, it can help sometime but not much, sometime will dc as well.

you should get a better WiFi AP instead. The one provided by TM sucks. Get asus or tplink that support unifi and you will get better signal upstairs.

Around how much for them? I don't know how to identify the quality though.. Do I need to change any setting if I replace the router?

Yes, you need your unifi username and password to complete the basic setup.

It will be good if you are able to give some budget of your expectation else it is hard to recommend you suitable solution.

I'm having same problem too, can advise on some routers that are compatible with unifi? Budget 300-500 kua.

Is it easy to set up? Just came back from overseas to experience dealing with fiber stuff

What is ur expectations to ur new router?
Just longer range WiFi?

Can try

ASUS
RT12HP
RT16
RT66

Aztech
DSL7000GR

tp-link
Look 4 those with 3 antenna as I dun rmb model number,the box will have stated unifi supported

One common mistake is to place the WiFi hotspot downstairs. You should have install it upstairs at the first place, even with TM's lousy DIR-615 it wouldn't be as bad as it is now.

It is better you consider HomePlug to connect the router from downstairs to an access point upstairs. There are HomePlugs with built in WiFi that you can consider too.

did u put ur range extender in between ? minimum 2bar ~

I am using the Aztech repeater and so far it is working fine. The TM provided router is located in the living room downstairs and I place the repeater on the first floor. The Wifi signal can be boosted by additional ~ 25 %. With that said I am staying in a humble 20 X 70 terrace house. If in a bigger house, then maybe need to go for other options eg. more powerful router, homeplug, etc.
