i really wanted asus as well, but all i saw pricing is quite expensive, hench why i say so doh.gif unless u can recommend me a good moderate pricing is good.

300++ is kinda over kill for a router for me ><
ASUS RT-N14UHP is around RM258 in Lazada.
Bigger wireless coverage compared with other routers I've ever tested.
The USB port on the RT-N14UHP can be used to share an external harddisk/printer within the whole network.
You can also use the Download Master function in the router as FTP/HTTP/Torrent downloader (you can't do this on TP-Link routers without using 3rd party firmware).
The Download Master will download stuff for you without even turning on a PC/Laptop & save it on the connected external harddisk that's plugged into the USB port.

http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN14UHP/

If you don't need a USB port on your router, you can get the cheaper RT-N12HP at a price tag of RM172.80 from Lazada.
Without the USB port, you won't be able to share a printer / files within the network.

Anyone use this ASUS RT-N66U ? is this good for unifi vip20.
RT-N66U does have the Download Master function.
And don't worry, RT-N66U will work perfectly with UniFi.

im gonna buy a better router for my unifi but does the router for unifi for high rise that using VDSL is different from the router that use pure optic cable?
It's the same.
The hardware that you can change is the Residential Gateway (router), the Broadband Termination Unit (BTU or modem) cannot be replaced.
QUOTE(silentser @ Nov 28 2014, 11:27 AM)
what router can i buy for my high rise using VDSL2 unifi?
That depends on how much you're willing to spend & what kind of features do you want on the router.

If you want to save money, go for TP-Link.
If you want reliability, stability & long term support, go for ASUS.

Hi all,

Currently still using the D-link router provided by TM for my unifi 10M. Due to the devices at home increase especially Wifi, planning to change it to slightly better router to support my current usage.

Requirement as below:-
1. Budget below RM200.
2. Connection must be stable between Internet and LAN. (doesn't need to always reboot the router.)
3. Strong Wifi signal enough for a 900sf house.(My router is not placing at center of my house, the distance from router to the end is around 10m.)

Currently looking for TP-Link TL-WR1043ND, is this router good? or any other router better than this that within my budget?
If you want huge coverage + USB port to share a printer / share an external HDD with the whole house, get the ASUS RT-N14UHP. The USB port can also be used to download torrents directly without turning on a PC / laptop. Priced at RM257 in Lazada.

http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN14UHP/

If your budget is really limited to below RM200 but still want huge coverage, then get the ASUS RT-N12HP. No USB port though. Priced at RM173 in Lazada.

TM call me just now, RM 179 will get 10MB.. upgrade from current 5MB
Is it worth to upgrade ?
Normal price for 10Mb is RM199/month.
For this promotion, you only need to pay RM179/month. RM20 savings for every month.

But to get this promotion, they will renew your contract with another 2 years.
Only you can decide either it's worth it or not.

I need more than 3 ethernet connection. Currently I am using the stock unifi orange-white router. If i want to upgrade to the best, what model do u recommend and what price and where can i buy that? Thanks
If you don't use HyppTV, you can disable the HyppTV port on 3rd party routers & you can use all 4 ports to connect to devices.
But if you still need HyppTV, then you'll have to buy a 3rd party router + a 4 port switch as there are no 3rd party routers that comes with more than 4 ethernet port except for enterprise routers.

The best replacement router depends on your budget. State your budget then we can provide some suggestion.
A 3rd party router is available from as low as RM70 & as high as RM1.2K.

Hm, like that huh... so I guess the RT-N14UHP is the one which i can max out my budget for.
Or you can also wait a few more months to save more money to get the higher end routers from ASUS.
But if you're really limited to N14UHP, that model is fine too.
QUOTE(xyz_cityhunter @ Dec 7 2014, 12:34 PM)
All the Asus router also support Unifi by default or need some trick to make it work with Unifi modem? Was prefering TP Link as they give easier GUI for setting the router up... rclxub.gif
All ASUS routers has native support for UniFi.
And not sure why you thought TP-Link GUI is easier compared to ASUS.
ASUS routers GUI is the easiest to understand compared to any other brands.

Basically, this is my take between TP-Link & ASUS:
If you want to save money, go for TP-Link.
If you want reliability, stability & long term support, go for ASUS.

I've had both TL-WR1043ND & TL-WDR4300 from TP-Link, both of them has crappy GUI & outdated buggy firmwares.
But the WDR4300 is the worst of the lot. Even OpenWRT couldn't save it.

hello i wish to terminate unifi after 2014 ended. have a few question in mind

1. since billing starts mid-month to mid-month, do i still need to pay the half month for jan 2015? i remembered the first month they calculate the rent based on the days left to the next billing period, so wondering if this applies to the termination month/date or not.

2. my subscription is almost 3 years already if im not mistaken, and i heard that i need to return XXX stuffs for them to process the termination faster. is this true?

3. can i just go to any tm center? or only specific center like only can go to titiwangsa instead of the one near wangsa walk.

4. i am the owner of the account, do i need to prepare any black-white documents?

thanks again!
1. Not sure about this.
2. You only need to bring the BTU (broadband termination unit). You can keep the router & HyppTV set-top-box.
3. Any TM-Point will be able to assist you in terminating your account.
4. No documents needed, just bring your IC & the UniFi BTU.

hello...just wondering if the speed is based on the username or any other thing? currently i'm using vip10 at my parents house but will moving out soon..so i'm thinking to bring along my current vip10 to the new house while add vip5 to my parents house... currently on rm169 vip10 biggrin.gif
UniFi speed is not based on username unlike Streamyx.
First relocate your UniFi to the new house. Once the relocation is done then you can start registering the new UniFi account for your parent's house.

Trust me, you'd want to do the relocation first. New registration is the 2nd priority.
As lots of places nowadays is running out of ports for UniFi.

I myself had to wait 2 weeks for TM to add new ports in the area that I'm living now ever since I relocated to a new place a few months ago.
Some people waited months & still nothing.

if tm installer need go up roof top need pay extra or not...? single story house
No.
The 15 meters is only counted once it enters the wall of your house.
If you require the technician to use more than 15 meters in your house then only you'll be charged.

I once was nearly scammed by a technician that told me he needs to charge RM150 because the cable exceeds more than 15 meters when it doesn't even reach 5 meters from the main point to the place I told the technician to put the BTU.
I told the technician to go home & I also told him I will report this to TM.
After the technician goes, I called UniFi helpline, report about it & give the helpline the technician's phone number.

The next day, another technician came & install everything without any charge at all.
Like what they're supposed to do.

Good evening, sort of. I would like to ask a thing or two. I have tablet and phones connected to the UniFi router, the D-Link orange router. Currently, I have connection issue. It is like when I play online games on the PS4, I always lag when I am the host.

I am thinking about upgrading the router but not sure which. If there's a router that can accept better connection, do let me know because I dislike lagging on my own host.

If it helps, I'm using the VIP20 package currently.

Thank you.
Since you're capable of paying for UniFi VIP 20, you shouldn't have any problem paying for an ASUS RT-AC68U.
Or at least an ASUS RT-N18U.

It is not a question of whether he can, but whether he should be buying a top-of-the-range ASUS RT-AC68U when a low-end RT-N12 D1 or RT-N12HP or even a RT-N14UHP will suffice.

He doesn't seem to have a lot of wireless devices. I doubt he has wireless AC adapters to take advantge of the RT-AC68U.
Getting the AC68U is not just about the wireless speed alone.
It's overall.

For example, I have both RT-N16 & RT-AC68U.
The RT-N16 is a reliable router, but since the processor is only single core & the speed is limited to 480MHz, using the download master function alone will overload the processor & the RAM.
While on RT-AC68U I can do a lot more without putting too much burden on the router.

The dual core processor & the huge 256MB ram in AC68U enables the users to do lots more than what the RT-N16 can without getting slow down.

There are some people where they use the functions in their router to the max, but there are those that doesn't.
I for example, I use the dual WAN, download master, FTP, network printing, media server, VPN, guest network & AiCloud function available in the AC68U. Using all this function in the RT-N16 will overload the processor & RAM, hence the reason why I purchase the AC68U.

Asus RT-AC66U Wireless Router, is this okay? Plus it is compatible with the UniFi services such as the HyppTV? Do I need to inform the UniFi people that I'm changing to a new router?
RT-AC66U is fully compatible with UniFi. HyppTV will also work perfectly on that router.
However, to me it's not really worth it as the price differences between AC66U & AC68U is only RM50 but with huge performance gap.
