Hi guys, as per title, I need some advice on whether i shud get maxis or unifi for dota 2. Which is better for gaming? It's best if you can tell me if you're a unifi or maxis user and tell me your personal experience. Instead of telling me what you heard from people. I'm shifting to an area near Seputeh.

I heard mixed reviews about maxis and unifi. Some say both good for gaming and vice versa. It looks to me like good or bad connection depends on the location of the area.

Thanks!

I m on unifi for years. No problem for dota2.

At night, 1 streaming video, 1 dota, no problem with unifi router

unifi please

maxis fibre = unifi

What's your location bro?

Wanna ask, unifi need get phone line and maxis fibre don't need?

not sure why.
but unifi phone line = free (home line to home line)

no fee, no activation fee, no labour charge (t&c)

if im not mistaken they will charge (they will charge you everything on the 1st unifi bill), if any 1 of these exceed this number




p/s: register only for online to get free unifi for 1st month

Using maxis fibre....dced a lot...then used the RJ-45 i bought from lelong.com and now never dc...can even torrent 20mbps and still 60 ping lol

summary, Wifi sucks for the default router

I got both unifi and maxis fiber. Unifi lots of lag as compared to maxis fiber. I can experience pings in the 1000-3000 and then massive spike to 5000 until lag out many times with unifi while maxis shows only constant ping of less than 100ms. I run concurrent downloading, streaming movies, surfing and playing LOL no problem at all with Maxis. Then tmnuts terminate unifi after trial period ended.

I use unifi dota 2 usually below 50ms ping. Just make sure to get a better router.

i just changed my default unifi router to TPlink WDR3600 ...
i still encountering often disconnections only when playing dota2, i stream and watch video and do normal surfing totally no problem at all.
any suggestion?

All this fiber wars can be summarized to location, location, location.
If you're living in high density population and congested with fibers user then you're doomed.
If you're living in apartment with bad wiring then you're doomed.

My house and my office only a few kilometers away, I have 20mbps package at home and 10mbps at office but at my office I can have around 30% lower latency

Anyone on Unifi, Maxis Fibre, Streamyx etc. that come with router with ethernet/RJ45 and wifi, if you experience problem with wifi (especially b, g, n) BUT NOT with ethernet, that's mean your wifi channel has some interference with your neighbor wifi or other electrical appliance like cordless phone or microwave oven.

If interference with neighbor's wifi, try to change to other channel. If interference with electrical app, move your AP/router elsewhere.

Other solution, buy ac wifi AP (access point)

Don't simply say TM/Maxis sucks if you never tried the troubleshooting above. With b, g, n wifi, I've seen a lot of interference in my taman alone. I have to frequently check the other wifi's channel. The auto setting in most router regarding the channel selection is rubbish. Manual is better.

And don't simply say that TM's/Maxis's router suck without trying the above method. All the router have to follow the standard. Usually the provided modem/router only serves for basic function like b, g, n wifi, 1 antenna only, 100 mbps LAN. If got money, pls spend on modem/router that support ac, b, g, n, multiple antenna (i've seen 3 as the most), gigabit LAN. Gigabit LAN does not affect the surfing speed. 100 mbps is more than enough, but with the recent 100 mbps internet by Maxis fibre, gigabit ethernet is a must. I hope Maxis provide router that support gigabit ethernet.

Maxis sucks. 1 week internet downtime, no rebate for the downtime ...
