I stay in highrise condo and there are just too many neighboring WiFi access points with quite a number of co-channels at many interfering ones as well.

Although we have between 11 to 13 channels to choose from, only three channels should really be used: 1, 6 & 11 as they don't overlap. Thing is, there are already quite a number of APs on 1, 6 and 11, but worst of all are the interfering ones (overlaps) such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, etc... I also suspect the onboard WiFi interface (Qualcomm) of my laptop is partly to be blamed too - seems to be bad compared to laptops I used previously.

Just clicking on the network icon in Windows 10 on my laptop shows more than 10 APs available while inSSIDer reports close to 30 APs in the vicinity.

To top it all, I am using Asus RT-N12HP (With 9dBi high gain antennas), even that already not functioning to the optimum, but it was worse when I used TP-Link WR841ND and prior to that TM's stock router (DIR-615). The Asus gives me much more stable WiFi connectivity but unfortunately due to the surrounding environment, it will not work optimum.

For your info, I now use direct Ethernet cable (wherever possible), otherwise using HomePlug to connect laptops, PCs. Only use WiFi for devices without Ethernet ports such as smartphones.

Just get a 5Ghz capable wireless router for your wireless only devices. It's quite expensive but definitely worth the investment.

Asus RT-N14UHP is sold out at my hometown. There's a shop selling Asus RT-AC1200HP. Wonder if it'll work well with my unifi. But there's a 'supports unifi & maxis fiber' sticker on the box.
*
It should works well. I think you are able to get Asus AC55UHP at around the same price as well.

Is it better? I can only find the AC1200HP model here.

AC55UHP should perform slightly better but AC1200HP is good enough. wink.gif

hi bros. was thinking of upgrading my Tp-Link WDR4300 router to a new one.

reason i wanna change is the router turned GILA d. always DC on its own. i have to manually restart every time it happens. lousy coverage as well. already happened in past 6 months. so i give up on that piece of junk d. time to change to a better one.

so what i have in mind is Asus N12HP router. or any other recommendations?

Claim the warranty before you purchase another one.

If your location is full of wireless AP, get a 5Ghz capable router is better. smile.gif

aha. okay but dont know when i'll get back if i send for warranty claim hahaha.

wdr4300 is dual band. 5ghz signal weaker compared to 2.4ghz  sad.gif
*
5Ghz signal penetration is weaker than 2.4Ghz. It's really useful if your location is very congested. tongue.gif

Instead of adding AP, upgrade the TM router and you can remove 1 device from your network. laugh.gif

And also wide range and good for online gaming?

What you pay is what you get. smile.gif

You will get the full speed if you stand beside the router.

Hey guys, thanks but i tried all the suggestions given, and nothing seems to be out of place(ping was low, no packet loss). I read that some people are also experiencing downloading/updating ios apps using unifi, which I am not sure whether this problem of mine is related or not to that since I am using android and even whats app images I am unable to download.

since my desktop seems to be having little no no problems when it comes to the unifi using rj45 cable, i tested my wifi using both my smartphone and laptop.

laptop -> no problems to browse and download stuff
smartphones (xiaomii and note 3) , there are occasion where browsing wasnt good (due to signal strength I assume) but when it can browse well, I cant download whats app images to begin with.

This doesnt happen at all when i was at my terrace house previously. Something happen when the technician changed the home fibre modem to the condo version of the modem (mandatory change). If this is the case and somebody has found a solution to this, mind sharing it ?

wasting my mobile data at home when I shouldnt be using the wifi connection
*
Interference with other wireless router I assume.

Get a new dual band capable wireless router should fix it.

If your budget is that high, top up a bit and get the AC55UHP if you don't mind the huge antenna.

Anyone here using TPlink WR1043ND for their Unifi?

Can give some reviews?

I use that previously.

It's cheap and the coverage is good enough. smile.gif

Certainly better than the stock router.

So I just received my email and got confirmation that I have been upgraded to 50Mbps.

Any good router to suggest that can allow me to get maximum speed? My computer is about 3 meters away from the router. My current router (RT-12) allow up to 25Mbps only.

I recommend getting a Wireless AC router. It depends on your budget. smile.gif

Would you be able to let us know why RT 12 despite being rated for 300Mbps bandwidth, cannot cope up with 50Mbps? After reading from previous few posts I already know my router is limited to maximum 30Mbps only (even before I upgrade).

Just want to know.  smile.gif

I think the announcement tomorrow is either:

or TM went full "genius" and transform into mobile telco carrier.

I don't mind if they transform into a carrier with true unlimited mobile internet. biggrin.gif

Now I notice that I am connected to ip range 1.9.xxx.xxx

Is this new range?

Hi All,

My hyppy tv is not working after router changed from DLINK-WBR2300 to TP-link WDR 4300. As per this thread I changed the MTU value to 1492 and disable the IGMP but no luck. It says NTP error...What should I do? Whenever I switch back to the old router it works...

Try disabling hardware NAT.

thanks but i ran into another problem. NAT or hardware NAT disabled hyppy tv will work but no WiFi. i tried disable both also no WiFi. WiFi only works with both enable but then no hyppy tv.

WiFi should work if you just disable hardware NAT.

If it's not working, try a different firmware. TP-LINK is very inconsistent on Unifi nowadays.
