So they they can start to rollout firmware which perform better but more power consuming and just for precautionary steps, some adapter might not support that high amount of current

is the iflix trial started? how to use it?

nope not yet.....also being waiting since 15th dec....

Why need to wait for iflix trial?

not trial, tm and iflix just sign an agreement to give free 1 year subscription to all streamyx and unifi users. without need to login in to iflix account...they have smart detection thats will allow streamyx and unifi users to open iflix without need to register.

TM Modem? What brand? Huawei?

TM just came last week and change my TM Huawei Modem adapter(spoilt) for my maxis ftth.

If they change to the fire hazard adapter, then I am in big trouble.

Can anyone please show your existing TM Modem adapter image? The old one and the new one(after recent replacement).

Want to identify if the fire hazard adapter is given to me.

The image shown here is the TM Modem adapter given to me last week.

Fire hazard? Obviously he's bullshitting

One of my BTUs is the Alcatel-Lucent one. The whitish one. This is the letter I got. Replacement not done yet. As you can see there's no reason given for the replacement except to improve it.


I didn't get one for the black Huawei one.

TM didn't give a reason in their letter. The only conclusion I came to was that the adaptor is the problem and the only thing I can think of is that it's a fire hazard. Maybe the BTU may consume more power and some adapter might not support that high amount of current. That usually leads to overheating, rubber melting, wires touching and then internet down.

My friend bought the Archer C7 from gemfive.com.my last week with a 30% discount. It was 428 less 30% = 300. Not sure about shipping. I'll post the link if I find it or you can just search for it.

Edit: The code is HAPPY30 for the 30% off. I bought a DAP-1665 last month (also for 30% off but diff code) and it was free shipping so I assume it's also free shipping for the C7.

I guess it is due to the reliability of that power adapter. The power adapter failed on a lot of people.

That's a good reason and less worrying than mine. It's nice to see TM being proactive about BTU failures.

Btw, you have a good review site. I was looking for an AP and came across your site while googling. In the end I settled for the DAP-1665 due to budget constraints. It would be nice if you could include the RRP in your reviews.

Asus rt-n12hp on lazada only RM175

that's quite a good explanation.

Tonight update itunes n apps very smooth..

i tired many youtube videos and most of it either load without buffering(720HD on 5mbps) or doesn't load at all
