i'm not surprised. this is how maxis operates. At least with Unifi i haven't quite experienced anything like this so far since unifi first launched

that is your problem right there. the default router is a piece of shit which is intentional. what better way to prevent or hamper torrent and p2p ..... by giving you bad hardware that can't handle it of course (not to mention giving outdated junk to save on costs, those cheapskates). And if that is not worse, make it harder to use your own router. No tips either on how to connect to unifi using vlan tagging (have to depend on the kindness of other malaysian unifi users like klseet, rifzan etc who figured this out for us)

i'm guessing your upload scenario use is for torrent ? if so this is especially gonna suck for you if using the default router. another thing that sux is the bad wifi performance, and network performance as well


you can refer to my post here about the router issue and suggestions..
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=72948370





Anyhow.... back when i first got unifi, the tmnutters helped me configure default router, and they did run the tests to show on speedtest the dl/ul is 10mbps (only later did i change router to my own). Did they do that for you when installing unifi ?

wireless ac available currently. or wait for wireless ad sometime out in 2015. wireless ax only coming in 2019 (wait too long lelz...)

then how r u posting here? lelz

from what i saw the lan routing performance was better on the R7000, and i assume is cheaper too. Also shibby supports R7000 though his arm firmware is still work in progress

anyhow seems it's an issue only affecting you, or your local area.

if you can't access unifi your location *assuming that it worked most recently till now...

then...

1. your pc/router networking has issue ? try diagnose first. turn off modem, router, pc, then reboot after a minute. also check for loose cables. if still no work, try changing cable (ethernet Cat6). or try disable your pc ethernet adapter, then enable again, this resets it and sometimes resolves connectivity issues if it's your pc with an issue.

2. could also potentially be your neighbourhoods internet box got problem. happened to me before, when i reported to tmnut they denied it. only later they admit yes the problem was their end, so they spent time fixing it before i went back online.

use this
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/rankers/router/view


sort by price (just as a reference). select by what class router your looking for e.g. AC1900 etc....

Make sure it's a model supported by shibby's tomato firmware
http://tomato.groov.pl/?page_id=69


double check in shibby forum to see if the router you picked is stable or not
http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threa...releases.33858/


then google search for lowyat or malaysian stores selling the router to check the price


seems to me though you should bump up your budget to rm4xx

for high end routers is rm6xx-7xx



you also need to verify what it is you want to get out of your router and adjust budget accordingly to get it

1. ethernet port speeds. 10/100/1000mb ( 100-1000 is fine, but if you get 100, your local networking speed will be much slower. but if your okay with that, it's perfectly fine for unifi broadband that isn't yet up to 100, but 100 unifi broadband is due soon, so your router won't be future proof when faster speeds become available)

2. maximum simultaenous connections ( this is the number of connections your router can handle. this is usually important for torrenting. my router can support 30k + older models use to support around 8k. you need something within this range or better if you expect to torrent well)

3. do you want to be able to install third party firmware ? (the advantage of third party firmware, is you can install either dd-wrt or tomato. I would strongly recommend tomato because it has better qos features, not to mention a better speed monitor. You can also save logs of your monthly broadband usage to use as evidence of any possible throttling when wanting to make complaints to tmnut or mcmc backedup by logs as proof)

4. flash memory and ram.... the hardware specs people usually look at.




5. router throughput is 3 things. download, upload and maximum. each of the router reviews will show you these values, so you can understand how the routers real life performance.


6. wireless. the current wireless standard is wireless ac. the previous was wireless n. for performance i suggest getting a wireless ac router ...... though your other devices will need to support wireless ac e.g. wireless usb adapters, or integrated wireless adapters in your mobile devices.



PS: to get a router to work on unifi you need to setup vlan tagging. this is possible on both dd-wrt and tomato firmware.

eh rely?

well i think i saw on forum someone was using vlan tagging for dd-wrt. i don't use dd-wrt myself so i didn't look further than that.

you may need to use the lowyat search to verify this though to be sure

but on lowyat seems to be a lot of users are using dd-wrt more than tomato (which i find odd ) so there's bound to be some unifi user guides how to get dd-wrt vlan working on unifi i'm sure


here a quick search



https://klseet.com/index.php/dd-wrt-for-uni...tagging-example


https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/722937/+588




oh apparently i found this





https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=68089701



theres even a vlan guide for openwrt (who uses that these days )
http://www.dinobytes.info/v2/node/1151




but i only endorsing tomato router so.... tomato for unifi vlan guide is here

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=64359922



pfsense is also another greate alternative i also recommend. though like dd-wrt, there is also issue getting iptv to work
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=71195667



here is the overview by klseet laying out all the alternative router options possible for Unifi

PS: regarding iptv vlan, does it really matter you get iptv ? don't get me wrong, iptv is definitely the future, however the hypptv content is kinda rubbish, so then what is the point ?

Your better of using netflix, and you can just use regular broadband for that and stream directly to your tv, assuming your tv has an ethernet port to receive internet connectivity. If you got a smart tv like samsung, you will have the netflix app installed. or even a usb dongle like chromecast or something.

maybe convince them to try netflix instead of bad hypptv trust me is for the better. unsubscribe your astro, then subscribe for VPN then netflix. enjoy

dude.... the guy saying this has no credibility.... so i wouldn't put much stock in what they promise or say. this is a trend (though not necessarily unique) to malaysian politicians.

I'll wait for it to happen before i believe it

do other countries gst internet connectivity ?

seems to me it's ridiculous

i just can't believe ontop of the price gouging of a highly over priced broadband.... they are adding gst ontop of that

crazy.....

so are people just going to let this go ahead ?

same here. i'm only using 10mbps

will they add on a contract extension if we do that ? I think my contract with them with expired, so i can dump tmnut if i want.

But if i write to them to change my subscription fees to the new price reduction one, will they try to extend my contract to another 2 years ?

when i'm streaming hearthstone or diablo 3, upload speed is very important.

even 10mbps is barely good enough, and i even have to adjust my stream video quality for an acceptable smooth stream.

though to be fair half of the problem is also due to my older spec pc which limits the encoding options i can do

but better upload does effect to a big extent whether you can stream in 720p or 1080p.

that is a misconception. they do take note of high usage users. they sometime send me spam to upgrade my broadband from 10mbps to higher

that said, leaving modem and router on 24/7 really isn't an issue. But pc power consumption is a different matter. I'd leave on when i'm torrenting. But when not in use, it's probably better to set to hibernate/sleep or just shutdown.

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Jun 12 2015, 05:17 PM

download is more important than upload for most users.

but if your streamer like me, dropping from 10mbps upload is kinda sucky already 10mbps i can barely stream 1080p content, that most of the time it's better to just stream 720p. but half of the issue also due to my older ivy bridge pc rig which doesn't transcode as fast as the newer pc rigs

i just wonder though how much is 30mbps dl 5mbps upload ?

even crazier

49.99sgd = 140.067 MYR

for 1gbps dl, 500 mbps ul

https://myrepublic.com.sg/pricing/


but i don't know what their monthly bandwidth quota is like or if they have any.


Also they state


sounds a lot like throttling torrent traffic.


and you need to take into account singapore is not like Malaysia. piracy isn't taken too seriously, but in Singapore it is. in that sense their more american/european like when it comes to taking copyright seriously

these are the most recent cases of singaporeans being sued due to copyright

but if their on same network, how come got internet issues with maxis :/ i don't understand. how come performance not as good as tmnut unifis ?
