Hi all,

A noobies question. Currently i am using 100 Mbps Maxis Fibre. I managed to find 3 Huawei (LG8245X6) and 3 TP-Link (EX-510) router. I am thinking of using a Mesh Wifi at my new house (3 Storey, 2700 sq ft). Which brand is better in terms of stability, security and coverage, Huawei or TP-Link?

TQ In advance.

Soyacincau:
Several Malaysian telcos/ISPs including TM, Time, Maxis, U Mobile and CelcomDigi have been found implementing Transparent DNS Proxy. This forces internet traffic to go through a local DNS even if you use Public DNS such as Google and Cloudflare. As a result, blocked websites are inaccessible even with Public DNS.

Time to go VPN/DNS over HTTPS

I hope Asus router DoT function can override it. No?

First thing to do when I'm back home
* Funny thing, I cant get Adguard DoT to work
But Cloudflare no problem at all

Because that's not their address

https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

tls://dns.adguard-dns.com

Personally I'll go with TP-Link

If I use tls://dns.adguard-dns.com, straightaway DC
dns.adguard.com no problem thou

Try adding dns.adguard-dns.com instead.

Drop the tls://

Thanks

Ok..baik

Idk what is happen today. But, Maxis Fibre 100Mbps in TM speed capped area no more cap at 93Mbps. Download files before stuck at 92~93Mbps. But now, easily reach 95~100Mbps..even above 200Mbps speed spike when first click download..

Wanna to ask 1 thing, if I switch from other isp to maxis, I need terminate manually then only subscribe to maxis, or maxis will do for us for switching from other?

DON'T YOU DARE TERMINATE FIRST FROM CURRENT ISP.

once you terminate your current subscription, the fibre port that is currently was previously assigned to your premise will be snapped by those in waiting list.
what talk cock about "switching" when what really happened is you already releasing your port? and your next subscription need to re-enter at the back of same waiting list?

--

just like Mobile Number Portability (MNP):
register your switching application with your next receiving ISP.
get transfer ID, which you will then present to notify your current ISP of your intent to switch.
they will do the necessary (including coaxing you to not switch ISP, if you are worthy 😜).
if you still insists proceed, your new ISP will arrange to visit your premise to switch equipment.

there will be a period of time when both your ISPs will overlap charging your subscription. some ktards said even for 2 weeks(!).
that is normal practice to the ISP (even though our wallets are protesting), as they finalise the switching in the backend systems. last kopek at our wallet lah.
after all, you also want to make sure your new ISP can deliver before the old ISP really disconnect.

If you terminate instead of transfer, the particular port you used will be locked
That means if that area is out of port, congratulations... you cant register for any service untill they releast the port
Dont to this, register at Maxis, get the transfer ID
They will guide you through

DO NOT TERMINATE
Personal experience here

Thanks for the advice, never did tat before, now I know

My area in Kuching here still got speed capped. Waiting for the day when there is no capping.

now my fibre cable broken due to mouse bite, will unifi accept terminate and reapply or i just transfer to other service provider?

Hmm. I think TM change OLT in my area. Not sure...
Speedtest result. Data usage now slightly bump. Despite different from 92~93Mbps to 95~100Mbps... too bad, only me use Maxis in my taman area. Cannot see difference. Will try get 300Mbps later in the next 2~3 years. When another round of price cut happen.. Speed capped area for that plan suppose to be 270~280Mbps..

Cable broken just report to customer service to get technician come and fix. No need to terminate or switch provider.

Good.. Hopefully as they change OLT the speed capped is lifted.

.... that's like cutting off the leg just because your toenails got exposed after stumbling.
