Any unifi user in Klang received and successfully upgraded to Unifi 30 package? Attempted to upgrade mine few days ago but they say only available in Kota Kemuning currently.

A lot of us have upgraded, I'm waiting for mine to complete as well. Waiting for email to confirm. I'm in PJ.

I have a question here to ask.

Received a call last week to upgrade my existing vip10 to Unifi30. So yesterday i checked my online unifi bill and yes the status already changed to Unifi30.

Done speed test and only got about 15mbps download and 5mbps upload. Immediately do a complaint and within 24 hours their technician came which is surprising (they just leave my house minutes ago).

They said it the router problem because if tested using lan cable definetely getting above 30mbps. If wifi only at 15mbps max.

So they advise me to get new powerful router that can support unifi. Either tplink or asus. Why TM didnot provide the router also beyond me.

So anyone can recommend me new router for me? If possible with the model number. And also do i need to do the setting later myself?
*
Oh my crap. doh.gif I'm using the stock equipment which TM provides, will I have the same issue too?
It's the same equipment I got since VIP5 days which I registered last year.

Heard from TM friend, 10Mbps user can upgrade to 30Mbps and 20Mbps to 50Mbps w/o resubscribed and with the same monthly payment.. but for phone call there is no more free call to fixed line, all will calculate as PAYU..
*
No such thing. It's different pricing. 30Mbps is 199 and I was paying 179 for 10Mbps, so it's not the same price for me. smile.gif

How to cancel now? I don't feel like changing my router just to accommodate to this. doh.gif

Lol i dont know whether can cancel or not but if u using lan cable then it should be no problem.

Yes finding new router is troublesome for a IT-naive like me. Just hoping later the new router will not cause a new problem  doh.gif
*
I called their CS and they are ever unhelpful. She doesn't know about this issue and keeps insisting that TM only provides basic router. If you want a better speed, then get your own router. doh.gif

I told her this equals to cheating if it's true. You introduce a plan which your customers are not able to use. doh.gif Once upgraded, I cannot downgrade anymore.

How about others? Does anyone of you using the stock equipment and manage to get full speed with WiFi? I only use WiFi and not LAN cable, so your experience sharing is very much appreciated.

I really don't want to spend another RM 200 to use it.
If that's the case, I want to cancel this upgrade but she said can't see my order yet. doh.gif

QUOTE(raynman @ Jul 26 2015, 07:10 PM)
I received an Innatech RG4332 Wifi router from TM as part of the VIP5 package.

I did get full speed of 5Mbps (upload and download) with Wifi when it is working fine.

However, I experienced Wifi disconnects every few hours or so.

I couldn't stand it and promptly replaced the RG4332 with an ASUS RT-N12 D1 router.

No more Wifi disconnections and the router has been rock stable from day one.

I used the RG4332 for a week before I said "enough is enough".  biggrin.gif
*
I don't know what's mine.. I'm not at my PJ home now.
I have no issue with VIP10 too, got more than 10Mbps for both upload and download speed.

anyway... do give a thought what happens when the router goes kaput... u still have to buy new on yr own...
*
If kaput, yes I will change. If it's not, I consider this is a waste.
Now I don't know how to cancel it, maybe I will call back again and ask them to put in instruction to stop this upgrade.

she's obviously a twit who doesn't know technical issues even if it smacked her in the face. should ask her next time to pass the phone to her supervisor. or maybe..... even worse, it's the managements policy to deny any poor performance  doh.gif  then better report to MCMC to pressure them (wonder if anyone done that yet)

this one time my internet didn't work. so i did all the normal troubleshooting on my own end. reboot router, update router firmware. re-do settings. restart pc...... pretty much all you can think of.

so i reported it as a tmnut issue, but then they ask reboot modem which i told i already done. still won't believe..... only much much later, they called back and admitted it was an issue on their end all along despite denying it >_>:

sigh.... they should never say not their side without checking first... this problem with tmnut support :/ talk cock over phone as if we don't know anything about basic IT technical troubleshooting.
*
I really don't know how to deal with this. Any advice guys? Really cannot get 30Mbps via WiFi?

If that's the case and they still upgraded mine and I can't use it, I will complain to MCMC.

The problem is if LAN can get, it's useless for me. sad.gif

I can't accept a bad stock router. They can't expect every single user to buy their own routers.

I think I will call to cancel the upgrade.

Sigh. After all the waiting, this is what I get.

You could test downloading a video from your phone to your laptop wirelesly to check your throughput. I just checked mine at my desk and its about 28Mbps only when I'm just 1.5m from the router (Wireless N300). It gets worse the further away I more from my desk.

Is yours the stock router? unsure.gif

From the first page. "PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PROCEED"

5. UniFi is a wired broadband service. Wireless connectivity is an option and is subject to interference and obstructions factor.
*
Currently I have no issue with my WiFi, always around 11Mbps up and down on my VIP10. It's pretty stable for me. sad.gif

QUOTE(MGM @ Jul 26 2015, 09:46 PM)
You can get a reasonably good router (ASUS/TPlink) for ~about rm150 thru lazada/rakuten after getting discount from voucher & CC's CB.

Sigh, do I really need to?
I don't know how to install, I always have problems with router. Always have to spend 1-2days to figure which part went wrong. laugh.gif

Good idea to get a pre-configured one, nobody is free for me. sad.gif
I really don't want to spend so much la. cry.gif

QUOTE(biloxee @ Jul 26 2015, 10:06 PM)
You should consider your devices' wireless capability too. Can they use 5Ghz or AC?
If they can only use 2.4Ghz and if theres interference from other signals from your neighbours, maintaining a stable 30Mbps all the time may be difficult?
*
I think devices should be OK kot. When I was using TP Link router for my Maxis broadband, there's no issue. I can get more than 60Mbps on my devices.

I'm using the stock DIR-615 but flashed with DD-WRT firmware, no issues with the UniFi 30 on WiFi. Even my local transfer speed within my network is around 3.3-3.5MB/s so I believe it should not have issues with 30mbps but I don't think it can cope with UniFi 50.

By the way, my WiFi is using Wireless-N on 20mhz channel width so my connectivity speed is 72mbps with actual transfer speeds of 3.3-3.5MB/s as mentioned above.
*
I don't know which one is mine, tried to Google but can't find the exact model yet. I can only recall it's silver colour. sweat.gif
Good that you are on stock, at least gives me hope. Flash router still OK for me, flashed few times for my TP-Link router.

How about with LAN cable? If you are not getting around 30Mbps via cable, then can complain.

Sigh. Yes, I know DIR-615 is good. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day for me to think how to solve it.
Worse comes to worst will cancel this upgrade. wink.gif

well i sorta mean, it's a bit difficult trying to diagnose your speed via wifi.

i notice this while babysitting for my brother so i was on my laptop in another room in the house. the internet was so bad .... only got better when i moved the laptop a bit to get a better signal, then suddenly the internet was working fine again.

so poor wifi will indeed affect your internet speed doh.gif so i don't think you can really test poor internet unless done via ethernet first, so you can rule it's not a wifi issue your having. that was  what i was implying :}

basically it's cost cutting, by providing a cheap router just so we can get the internet to work. as a user we have no choice but to buy a new router preferably 1gbit ports (i'd suggest 4-5 of them :} ) and also preferably wireless ac if possible.
Asus RT-N18U
from the prices i saw, you can get this router for rm 339, thats quite good for an ac router that actually performs :}
http://www.lelong.com.my/kx/asus+rt+n18u.htm
this router is wireless n though doh.gif but is using turboqam to boost wireless n signal by up to 30% more. it also can do up to 650 mbps internet connections, not that we have that speed anytime soon  sweat.gif

wireless ac routers i think are 600+ upward  hmm.gif yep a AC56U is 624
http://list.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/List.as...d=AC56U&x=0&y=0
*
Thanks for the advice but the fact is I rent a room and my router is in my room, I use WiFi only when I'm on the bed which is less than 1.5m away from router (maximum). Else, my laptop is just right next to my router. laugh.gif
That's the reason why I can get full 11Mbps on my current VIP10.

If the stock router can't manage to have 30Mbps with Wifi but LAN can, option are:

1. Change the 3rd party router that capable to deliver Wifi at 30Mbps.

2. If don't know how to configure the router, get an access point (or even and plug into the LAN port of the stock router, much more simple than configure the router. As Unifi router needs additional configuration in term of Vlan tagging as compared to ordinary Streamyx one that just need to key in username and password only.
*
Option 2, any suggestions? I was told my TP-Link MR3420 can make it as an access point which I'm still figuring it out how to do it. doh.gif

QUOTE(MGM @ Jul 27 2015, 10:29 AM)
To cut cost just buy a 5m LAN cable which allows u to wired-access from any corner of your room, when u think wifi access is no good. tongue.gif

Any router with Wifi can be used as access point.

I have an old Dlink streamyz modem/router, just set option from PPPOE to bridge mode,  then done already.

Ipad wifi to Dlink, dlink connected to Unifi router via LAN.

That easy? I read from Google result, I have to put in the IP address. blush.gif

I have a question about Unifi username and password... Which username and password is it referring to?
