Hi, I am currently using Astro IPTV with TIME 6MB broadband via fibre. I have the linksys WIFI router and this has been working fine for over one year. This week i started to notice about 1MB up/downlink speeds when using wifi but if i connect a LAN cable to the router I get the correct 6MB up/downlink speeds. I suspect the linksys is having some issues and its out of warranty. Can i simply purchase a new WIFI router e.g. TPLINK WR1043ND and set the PPOE values as per the current router? I was in an IT store today and asked if this would work but they were not sure and said no. If you guys know the truth I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks.

Hi Bro,

First it's advised to determine the root cause of the problem. Wireless performance deterioration could be due to many factors.

As for E1200 with narrow 2.4GHz wireless transmission, try changing the frequency channels to 1, 6 or 11 or try test nearer to the Router to see if there's any difference.

Yes WR1043ND will work just fine.

Thanks Bro,

I will try that and if all else fails I will get a new router. The following is the "helpful" response from Astro:

Please be informed that as per update from technical team, your LAN connection is stable and only Wi-Fi is not stable. You need to call Cisco directly in order to reconfigure back the router.

Please call Cisco at 1800-81-2358 as the router is already over warranty.

!!!!!

Hi Bro,

LOL...it's like you bought a car from Toyota (example), then the car got problems, you send back to them & they say cannot do anything & ask you refer to their supplier.

Sigh.....sometimes we go buy new router will save the hassles....

Got the TP-LINK WR1043ND and installed in a couple of minutes using PPOE. Problem solved. wink.gif
